BMW 3-series
CatsNShocks:
Does anyone own one?
I'm looking at getting maybe an 04-05 and was wanting opinions.
Anybody own a car comparable?
Thoughts? Pros? Cons?
TIA

My father-in-law drive a 06 BMW 330. Nice car....too small IMO. It gets up and goes when you want it to though. Very fun to drive. Very expensive to maintain/fix though. But I suppose if you're buying a BMW you don't really care huh? Oh and get one with the deep inset wheels, much better looking.
CatsNShocks:
What do you mean by too small?
For the driver? Trunk space?
Drove a Camry for years, and if I'm not mistaken, the 3-series is slightly smaller.
What do you mean by the deep inset wheels?

so i just read some posts on Phog.neet from a guy who lives, breathes and sleeps BMWs that the newer 3 series have a lot of problems when they start getting a lot of miles on them b/c the way they dealerships service them now a days (changing the oil every 15k, not doing the correct maintenance, etc). they're great until they start getting the miles, then they become very expensive to own (as in +$200 oil changes) yada yada.

I've bought an '01 330i back in December and I love it, So much power and speed, and pretty good gas mileage at 30 mpg highway. It does have some minor issues, but nothing I can't deal with. Anybody that sees my car thinks it's at least an '06, so I get the looks of a nice newer car and the speed for like 1/4th of the price. Plus really reasonable insurance rates. Overall probably the nicest car I've ridden in as far as comfort and speed.
