The day I bought my Baby!

"She can be a bit fussy, maintenance is key! Be prepared to spend more than you will with a Honda, but then again this is no rice burner. Fit and finish is top of the line, quality is found at every turn. You don't buy this car because it is an economical grocery mover or "Mom Mobile". You buy this car because it is a joy to drive, has power on tap, and at the end of a hard day is therapeutic to drop the top!"

"If you are looking for a driver's car this is the one for you. I currently own two, 2001 330 Sedan (5 sp manual), and 2002 330 Convertible (5 sp manual). Love them both equally and will buy another when my son takes one off to college. Puts a smile on my face everytime I drive I drive either one."

"I have been dreaming of this car for so many years. Then one day I come home and my hubby had bought it and had it waiting for me. I have not been disappointed. Love this car. It is what I consider a "strong" car. It feels strong as you drive down the highway. This car feels very sturdy and safe. It is a dream to drive, especially when the top is down. And it looks fantastic. I am truly spoiled to BMWs. Don't think I will ever be happy with any other brand. The only issue we have had after having the car for 1 year and a half was, on the first pretty Saturday of spring we put the top down, but it wouldn't go back up. Easily fixed, but expensive. Still the car is 7 years old, things will go wrong. But love love love this car."

"After owning this car for years, I can safely tell you it's the best automotive purchase I've ever made. It still excites me on the road, and remains completely reliable! The all-wheel drive system offers superb driving dynamics, while adding an additional level of safety in inclement weather. Looks great, very exciting to drive, and gets reasonable gas mileage. What's not to love? Get one, and you won't be disappointed!"

"Have owned this car and one like it since the 02 came out. Purchased my current 325ci with 92k, only problems I hit started at 155k. Top failed, and other normal issued with a car of its age. Over all awesome car which has never let me down."
