330ci

These cars are nightmares with only 35000 miles all the parts are simply breaking To many critical plastic parts that do not stand the test of time. We purchased this vehicle new and did all the proper service and maintenance as recommended by BMW The dealership we purchased it from has mot been honest or professional they regularly charged for work they did not perform and then refusing to either produce the failed parts supposedly changed Avoid this car

BMW convertible

This car doesn’t age well Impossible to diagnose problems Normal gaskets and bushings that should last have to be replaced If the convertible top breaks the repair cost will easily cost more than the value of the car Avoid BMW dealerships parts changers not mechanics

Great car

Although I’ve had it for almost 20 years still runs very well. Perform routine maintenance religiously. Even parts are not that expensive when you compare the age of the car and compare with other car expenses. I buy new cars but this one is a keeper!

Addictive to drive!

An amazing machine, addicting to drive on highways, mountain roads, sticks to the road, handle bumps and road chatter like a breeze! I've upgraded the suspension with new OEM springs and shocks, street performance rotors, pads, and control arm bushings, all done at Luxury Auto, Daily City, CA!

I love my BMR wagon!

super car...low profile, hugs the road, lots of great storage...handles beautifully on driving trips and it is very comfortable (for me and my 6'5" spouse)...plenty of headroom and room to stretch my legs...I'll drive it as long as it lasts!!

Hugs the road

I bought the car used and I do a lot of highway traveling the car really hugs the road. I would highly recommend this as a used car specifically if you do a lot of highway driving. I at over 300,000 miles at this time.

Made for the road.

I spend a great deal of time on the highway traveling between 3 hospitals and my office; so the 330i allows me to get there quickly and in comfort. I dont' like car notes so I'd rather pay to keep this car on the road. I have close to 300k on it now, and its still running good.

Love my 330ci

I have had this vehicle for over 190000 miles, and really have no thoughts to replace it. Love the 5-spd gearbox and performance. Figure I won't even consider another car until I get over 200000 miles on this one.

Really fun car. No electronic bells and whistles and I prefer it that way. The less technology the better!

Purchased this car used with 20K on it from a dealership in Dallas, Texas. Had it shipped over unseen aside from a few photos. Since I had the warranty I was able to fix any problems with the car without spending a penny, except for tires. Unfortunately the days of the warranty are long gone but Jack's German Auto has been able to keep me running without spending too much on the car. Roughly 2k a year on repairs and oil. Few hundred bucks a month but hey no car payment and insurance and registration is cheap since it's nearly 17 years old!

BMW 2003 325 CI

Mine is a CI-a convertible. It's so fun to drive, looks very nice despite its age, but when it has problems it's so costly and seems to have frequent high-cost issues now that it's about 16 years old. I want a car that will last for decades, so I wouldn't recommend this car or even a newer BMW since it just doesn't seem to last as long and it's so pricey.

I Love my 3 series BMW!!

I consider my bmw a vintage classic! I love it, and it's always a pleasure to drive! When I am ready to replace it, I will replace it with another BMW. It fits me like a glove!! My other vehicle is a Lexus but I prefer to drive this one!

Still a terrific car. I've owned one since 2003 and it's still going strong. When the time comes, I will get another one.
