Amazing entry level luxury sedan
It's been amazing, I've owned it for 9 years, no big surprise issues beyond normal maintenance at 100k+ miles. Great gas mileage, reliable,- only issue is poor cup holder section, only one is usable if you want to use armrest and the airbag recall which was taken care of.

My little blue BMW fast and small
I love it it's small so if you have kids I don't recommend the coupe but it's good on gas runs great it's really fast it's very comfortable though when driving long distances. The stereo could be better it does not have a aux cord but that is just the model and year of it

It gets great gas mileage, ours gets like 36 miles to the gallon
This car is very reliable, but does require a lot of maintenance, ours is kind of old so as you'd expect the interior isn't so great anymore

German engineering is good but when it goes bad it is expensive.
I do not like how high the vehicle is for a sedan. Bumpers could look better. I like that it is fast. And that there’s a lot of things to customize.

It feels great to sit in.
I like that it is comfortable. I like that it is a very safe car to drive. I like that it has a extra long side window so It's easy to see cars. I dislike that it is getting old.

It's a convertible and has very low mileage for a 14-year old car.
Convertible. Powerful. Love the car. Fast and responsive.

I love my car, and wish everyone had a cat like mine!
I love how it runs, it hugs the road. Love the leather interior and the radio is awesome. I have had 5 people in my car, and everyone enjoyed and comment how smooth it the right was. I bought it use and have had no problems. . I will recommend a bmw to anyone that is looking for a new or used car.

German engineering is quality compared to American engineering of vehicles
Like--The quality Dislike--that it is an older vehicle without gps and touch radio

Excellent vehicle when given regular preventative maintenance.
This vehicle has been exceptionally reliable. The vehicle came with included service for the first 30, 000 miles but the dealer would not perform oil service before 15, 000 miles. I know better and because I serviced mine every 6, 000 miles, my vehicle did not fall apart a week after the warranty was up. You must use only supreme unleaded fuel. This vehicle or risk problems with the fuel system. (This is explained at the time of purchase). The alignment is set a bit aggressive which can burn through tires quickly. This can be remedied by having the alignment set a bit less aggressively by a qualified shop. The convertible top liner is held together by cheap plastic and shoelace quality cords. This last about 2 years and cost about $800 to replace at the dealer. An upholstery shop can usually do the same job for less than half the price. To make the cords last longer, put the top up whenever the vehicle is not in use. I love this car and if you care for it, you will too.

Ease of handling the car, terrific smooth ride and control.
Like the way it handles at all speeds. Control panel is easy to use. Gas mileage is good. Low to the ground easy to get in and out. It uses premium fuel which is expensive.
accountCircle Noel F on September 19, 2020
Great little car with style.
The stylish body, push of a button convertible top make this a great vehicle for cruising. The comfortable seats have programmable memory settings, heated and electric adjustments to make entering rear seats easy. The bright headlights are automatically programmed to turn on in dim light. The windshield wipers have automatic rain sensor. Direct stability control, cruise control, air condition ambient temperature control, power mirrors, power windows and door locks. The performance is great, maintenance is average cost. I recommend this car as an entry level BMW.

Reliable with minor issues.
Very reliable but have run into problems with the catalytic converters and interior problems. My car was used before I got it so this might be due to prior user error. Best driving car I have ever had and many people feel the same way after driving it. The features are very nice and are just what you need in a vehicle.

It is a well made and quality car.
My BMW is a grey 2 door coupe. It has a sunroof and a screen with navigation. I bought it from my neighbor and it is stylish and reliable

The car is very Reliable.
Convertible. Reliable. Still looks good after 15 years
accountCircle Hannah J on August 25, 2020
It is a European car, so it can be harder to find places to fix it and it can be more expensive.
It's a little old and it has an oil leak that keeps getting worse. It has good gas mileage. I don't like that in general, BMWs are more expensive to get stuff fixed, and not all car places will fix European cars.
accountCircle Billy B on July 22, 2020
It's a great luxury car and very stylish. We are very happy with BMW
This vehicle was great car for my daughter. It was small enough for just her to handle. The mileage was good gas for her in what she used it for and she was very happy with the way it drove.

Inline six engine is extremely reliable and powerful
Wonderful car very comfortable and well equipped. Engine has plenty of power and still gets good fuel economy.
accountCircle Bob D on June 8, 2020
Most interesting detail is that the key does not connect with the car anymore.
I have an 04 BMW 330ci coupe. Not as comfortable as desired but enough as long as only driver and passenger ride. Very speedy with good control. In good condition but maintenance is not cheap. Very reliable with appropriate maintenance. Electrical problem that keeps airbag lights on. And car key does not lock the doors.

My black 325i is entirely stock, but still looks modern.
The car originally had one owner who took great care of it for 10 years. It still runs fantastically. If you look after this car you will surely end up with a vehicle that will last as long as you want it to.

BMW 2004 x3 sunroof problems,, over all good vehicle.
I love my BMW,, it takes off smoothly,, it also has plenty of space for traveling. I wish the fog lights wasn't orange. Sunroof issues is all I have in countered with my BMW. It sticks and will not close at times,, that is all the problems wrong with my BMW.

Everyday problems of a BMW owner.
Always has window problems often does not want to go up once it is been lowered. Love the speed, power and handle however does has a lot mechanical problems and the grilles often fall out of their socket. Also has electrical problems with the lights and the locks.
accountCircle Brant B on March 6, 2020
It is expensive to maintain.
I've never driven a car with as good of handling as my BMW 325xi. The car is good on gas. It is fast and accelerates better than most with the v6 engine. The only thing I dislike is that it requires a lot of expensive maintenance and it's not very good in bad weather.
accountCircle Pua D on February 28, 2020
My car has great pick-up. It is the perfect size.
It burns oil. I am constantly changing the oil or adding oil or changing the oil filter. The oil light will come on immediately after servicing the car.
accountCircle Sam C on February 24, 2020
My BMW 330i has been a very good car, but it is now 14 years old with 85k miles, so it's beginning to need some maintenance. Because it's a BMW, the maintenance costs are higher than they would be for a non-luxury brand. Overall, I've been very satisfied with the vehicle. It is a 6-speed manual transmission, which is difficult to find today.
It has 225 horsepower and a 6-speed manual transmission, so it's very fun to drive!
accountCircle Susan c on January 16, 2020
That it's 14 years old and only has 50K miles, is in great shape and I love it!
I like that it's a convertible and it's quick and easy to get around town in. It's size makes it easy to park.

The best convertible car, you can get the rooftop unlocking the car
I have my car for 5 years now and absolutely love, never had major problems with it, transmission oil change, the tires can be a little pricey cause is 2 different tires for front and not the same for the rear as it is a sports car, drives smooth everything has been working great!

My blue 2004 BMW 3-series sedan.
I love my vehicle! It runs really nice, great 0-60 speed time, all wheel drive, great sound system, leather interior, sunroof, perfect car to drive during the winter. I had a problem a while ago with the coolant hose having a leak, which is pricey to fix. But overall, my favorite car. I will probably drive it until it dies!
accountCircle Krystal A on December 11, 2019
It keeps Its value over time.
The BMW is a beautiful stylish design, ours is midnight blue with silver trims and a medium brown leather interior. The interior is extremely comfortable and spacious inside with adjustments to ensure your seat is in the perfect position, one of my favorite features is the miles showing on the windscreen, it helps me to concentrate on the road and keep to the speed limits which is not distracting. There is a small pop up screen in the center console which is fantastic for sat nav and radio controls, it is contemporary and well designed. We've owned our car for 5 months and Its always been reliable with no problems, we often get compliments from people on the look of the car and the space inside, the trunk has plenty of space.

Nice Car, Good space, but lots of gas
Really good car, smooth ride. I love riding in this car and the power that it has. The car is not too well on gas, however. Have to fill up my tank almost every week. The car is very comfortable. AC and heat work really well in this car. There are also seat warmers in this car that provides for a comfortable ride! The car is also very spacious it seats five people and it also has a very spacious trunk. There also includes a sunroof that opens up and allows for a good breeze to come through. Overall, I love this car and would recommend it for a car buyer!

Reliability and Cost of use
I bought the car in Dec 2004 from a dealer where it was a demo and had 6K on the odometer. Except for minor issues and expected wear and tear I hv never had any major problems. The car is now 15 years old and has 182K and honestly it is a pleasure to drive and still easy on gas. I would recommend this model BMW any day over many others.

BMWs are reliable and safe.
It is old, so it requires a lot of maintenance. But I love it because BMWs drive very smoothly and they last a long time.
accountCircle Dana C on September 23, 2019
Not too bad for an '04 and still looks good!
The air conditioning is in need of repair, most likely a very costly evaporator. It also burns oil and has some oil leaks. I do not like the run flat tires at all; my previous BMW had conventional tires, which were much better. I believe I have bent wheel(s) as there is a vibration when driving higher speeds. Aside from this, it is in very good condition.
accountCircle Jonathan M on August 20, 2019
It is a luxury vehicle and needs to be treated like one. It requires regular maintenance that usually must be done by a certified professional.
The performance is excellent. Reliability is excellent. Usually when there is a problem, the car will give you plenty of warning that something isn't right. Comfort is medium, but performance makes up for it.
accountCircle Alex I on August 16, 2019
2004 BMW 3-Series, a small reliable car.
Performance is great for an older car, overtaking is no problem. Many rumors about BMW not being very reliable but my car has had minimal problems on my 3+ years of ownership. Had to replace cooling system in the car after a couple of months, but after that there has not been any problems. The comfort in the car is alright. It is a smaller car so there isn't as much leg room or space as a luxury sedan, of course, but not a problem. The vehicle has heated and motor seats, AC, AM/FM radio, 17 inch rims in front, 18 in the back.

It is easy to drive and mildly affordable for a luxury make,
The car is wonderful, but I purchased it second hand, and had to make a lot of repairs. The car itself is wonderful for fast drivers. It is super sensitive to all movements. It is my favorite vehicle to drive and has an amazing factory radio. The headlights are bright and perfect for night driving.

This is a great car, though small it has all wheel drive so is good in the snow. I do have a problem with the thermostat so the ac will not work but will fix. I bought this car used and haven't had many problems. I love the car. I have two small kids and it is just big enough for all of us.

My current car is a lot better than my last car and this car is good for the next few years I'll have it.

Do not keep the roof off even if you are leaving it for a few minutes during the summer. The seats will burn your butt
I like it because it is a convertible and living in New England it is a good thing to have. Unfortunately it holds in the heat and cold and it doesn't have heat anymore. Two years ago I had to replace a bunch of things, but that's expected.

Performance and style and even It truly is the 'Ultimate driving machine.'
This car drives amazing, and driving became such an enjoyable thing ever since I had it. Maintenance and repair cost are pretty expensive. Tires every 40,000, brakes every 40,000. Full synthetic every change. Nothing but high test. If I could find one with low mileage, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I love this car.
