"I have owned this car for two years. It is the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. The handling is unsurpassed. Fit and Function is great in every way. If I had any gripes at all it would be the firm ride from the run flat tires. Otherwise this is a fantastic vehicle."

"I am a BMW fanatic. I have owned 8 BMWs in the last 12 years! I have had the wagon, 3 series convertible, 3 series sedans, 5 series sedans, X5s, and 3 series coupe. Of all the BMWs I have owned, this is the model I have kept the longest. Mine is black with chrome wheels, and it is a really hot looking car, and I never get tired of it! It looks amazing! It is really sporty and fun to drive. Mine is a manual tranny, and really takes curves well at high speeds, and has a great amount of pep for a 4 cylinder. In AZ it gets really hot, but the AC in this car is amazing, and I don't regret getting a black exterior, black interior car. It cools off really quick. The only annoying thing with this car is the seat belts. The electric arm that pushes the belt forward to make it easy to reach is a terrible design. But other than that, this car is perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing. I love it!! If you are thinking of buying this car, DO IT! You will love it! The stick-shift model is a lot of fun, and really makes for a great driving experience."

Almost 8 and still reliable, fast, and fun

By Bebop (VA) on Wednesday, May 01, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 63,500

Pros: "Handling, steering, pickup, mpg, reliability,"

Cons: "Cost of dealer service."

"325i. Had it almost 8 years, bought new. Other than maintenance nothing to spend money on. Great pick up. Nice engine sound. Handles wonderfully in curves. Interior has held together with no problems. The stock base stereo was and still is not great sounding. I get 32 mpg on hwy for trips from dc to buffalo or NYC. My car doesn't have lots of extras so I kept the cost somewhat down. But the leather seats and seat warmers are great, I got used to the drink holders. And paying extra for the folding rear seat was certainly needed. But, hey BMW, stop charging for something that every other car has for no charge. I found a good mechanic so stopped going to BMW dealer for excessively priced service and standard dealer ripoffs. I have the six speed manual and its fun! I bought it for the fun of driving and it delivers. I really also like the adjusting headlights for turns. I didn't buy it to be a luxury car, a quiet car, a super smooth riding car, etc. if I had I may have been disappointed but that's why there's Volvo."

"I have a 06 325I that I have owned for6 months. I have always dreamed of having one and now at the age of 48 I feel like a kid again. I can't understand why people give fair to poor ratings on these cars. The ULTIMATE driving machine. Yes, the suspension is tight. Yes, the steering is tight. Yes, it growls when you need it to. But remember, you're buying the BEST sports car/luxury car, plus BEST performance on the market. So it's sometimes expensive to fix, but a gain, you have a BMW. I've always been told, you treat a car and she will treat you just fine."
