Dependable and cheap to fix
Plenty of resources online and parts available to do minor or major repairs yourself. Great car, take care of it and it will drive 250000 + miles. Great handling, and parts are surprisingly cheap.

Fun and fuel efficient
This car is fuel efficient and a fun roadster. Convertible top makes summer evenings always fun. Wouldn't recommend for king family trips due to size compact. But for the daily, can't beat it.

Love my 325is
First off, I love this car. The sporty stance is backup with the great horsepower. For the average driver it provides plenty of pick up and speed. With up to 189 horsepower (stock), it is a thrill to drive. The version I own, has power everything, heated seats, and a 5 speed transmission. This car is perfect for those that can not afford the BMW M3. It does have its cons though; which is expensive maintenance. Parts and labor are not cheap and usually have to be ordered online. You can save money by doing a lot of the maintenance yourself. But it is well worth it if the car has been maintained properly. While the stock suspension handles extremely well, I wanted a sportier feel for my car so I upgraded to aftermarket suspension. The gas mileage is decent. In the city, the gas mileage leaves a little to be desired at 17 MPG, but on the highway I easily get 32 to 35 MPG.

Best German car
This car served well myself, my wife, my son and transported my two grand daughters to school for years with every week day school trip from 10 to 25 miles each way, safely and economicly not to mention driving joy which made none of these trips a chore.

I love my bmw!!!
Alright i want to start off by saying its now the year 2007 and i just got this car 14 years later.... It was pretty well maintained when I got the car and still runs great! The inside has barely ever been sat in the leather is all brand new and it still has that new car smell 14 years later!!! Well its a great car for new drivers and I would definitely recommend this car or any BMW under the 1998 because anything about that is really bad. A couple mechanic friends have told me that all the sensors and have the engine is made of plastic on the newer BMW's. But I definitely would recommend this car to anyone especially new drivers!

Best performance car I've owned!
Had this BMW for 4 years now, and with proper maintenance and care, I believe it has tremendous bang for the buck. Mine is 2 door coupe, and I thoroughly enjoy the perfectly balanced engine and chassis combination. Always owned German autos, this BMW will NOT be my last. A true Ultimate Driving Machine. This car gets compliments regularly when driven.
