2005 BMW 3 Series

Pros: Handling; performance and sound of engine/transmission; fit and finish is great; Solid, Silky, Smooth.
Cons: Lack of sufficient interior storage; clumsy placement of cupholders under center console.

Couldn't be happier. Remarkably solid for a convertible, the 6 speed manual is SILKY. I can't imagine driving this with an automatic. This car exudes superior quality at every level. The performance and acceleration convinces you that BMW continues it's tradition of understating power figures. This may also be attributable to that wonderful transmission.
We took delivery in Europe with BMW's Euro delivery program. I highly recommend this experience. We were able to order it to our preference- nav, performance package (yes!), adaptive lighting, heated seats, trim options, etc. The Euro delivery also applies an additional 7% discount to the capitalized cost of the vehicle (whether purchased or leased) on top of whatever deal you negotiate. Of course, the greatest benefit is driving your new BMW on the autobahns and the twisties of Germany, Austria, Italy, and wherever else you go. Just an incredible experience!

Our next car will be another BMW through Euro Delivery. In the past, we have owned the other luxury nameplates, but we are hooked on BMW now.

Pros: Fun to drive, beautiful interior. No rattles; feels very well built.
Cons: Doesn't absorb bumps well. That is my only complaint. 2005 Golf feels smoother on pavement.

Seven months ago I bought a 2005 325i with the premium package and I am very happy with it. It is a fun car to drive, and the 184hp engine definitely feels much more powerful than what it sounds. Pickup is quick, and breaking power is awesome. I love the beige interior with dark brown wood trims and black panel, it's quite elegant. You can't go wrong with the leatherette because it looks just like leather and it won't deteriorate like leather. The seats are comfortable if you get the lumbar support (included in premium package). The standard radio is more than plenty, unless you are the type to listen to music full blast. The size of the vehicle is just right, not too little, not too big. At high speeds it handles exceptionally well. I've driven hondas and toyotas but in this car I feel truly in control. It's been overall a nice experience to own this car.

Pros: handling, braking, stability, gas mileage with manual.
Cons: Nothing

This is absolutely the best car I had ever driven. I bought it pre-owned with the sports package, low profile tires and clear lights. The car looks very aggressive and sleek. I love the manual transmission I feel that the car responds to my shifting like in the orchestra. The engine sound is great and cornering is unbelievable. My wife has been complaining that I need to slow down since each time I see a curve I down shift and press the gas all the way to the floor to get the thrill.
