I have 90000 miles on this car. It started giving me trouble at 80,000 miles. Everything started leaking. Radiator, power steering, oil. Pick a fluid and it leaks. For a car that costs twice as much as a Honda Accord.
Very frustrating.

One of the best cars I have owned.
I have been driving my 2004 e46 for 8 years now. Probably one of the best BMWs built. A classic design with just enough amenities to make it comfortable. Still has a great feel on the road and timeless styling. Can't beat that straight 6.

Love my bmw
I have an older car and I do a lot to keep it because it’s an amazing vehicle to me.
I think it’s styling is classic. Will never look out of date. And to drive it fast down a highway makes that engine sound so beautiful.

Fun to drive. If maintained will last a long time. One can expect 300 K. Gas mileage is ok in the city but much better on highway. Repairs can be expensive but quality and build are good. Has good sound system with harman/kardon.

2004 325ci
Love my Bimmer. Old enough to not be loaded with computer stuff. New enough for factory parts! Now, I have the best mechanic! I’m sure he will help me keep my awesome Bimmer on the road for a long time!

E46 Coupe
The best 3-Series coupe BMW has made. Compact design with good performance and handling. Very reliable with no non-warranty problems in 15 years of ownership. Service and parts at the BMW dealership is costly. Both front air bags have been replaced under an extended warranty.

Excellent for newbie driver and very reliable.
Bought 2004 325I for my daughter for her 16th birthday used with 98k miles on the odometer. After six years and 148k miles, not a single mechanical problem with the car. There are some cosmetic/interior issues with kidney grill being detached (used gorilla glue with limited success), window lift needing replacement to name a few but it is a 15 year old car. It drives well and gives newbie driver confidence and safety. Enough power to get out of trouble but not powerful enough to get into trouble.

325ci review
Love this car! Just enough bells and whistles. Not too many. Fun to drive. Easy to park. Enough power to get out of the way quickly. Huge trunk. Music system is awesome. Just need to change apple charger to new version. Solid vehicle. I feel safe in it.

I have had the car almost 12 years. It is good looking, the perfect size, runs like a top and it Is very fun to drive. It has 204,000 miles and I am aiming to keep it forever. I can’t imagine what I would buy to replace it.

2004 BMW 330i ZHP
I bought this car new and still love it 100k miles later. It has not been without its problems, and I have to say that BMW NA can be bastards to deal with. BUT, the product still puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. Despite the issues, I would not hesitate to buy it again.

Love my car!
Extremely versatile for its size. Fun to drive. I bought mine used almost 14 years ago. Never let me down but I have had it serviced when needed. This model has known issues with rubber engine parts and the interior plastics in the console could have been better. I put a lot of cargo in the back of my wagon and I have carried kayaks on top with no problem. The technology it came with is aged but it was a pretty cool car at the time! I would buy it again. Not sure if I would buy the newer models though.
