The car handles amazingly.  It feels like it's wrapped around you, and you're in total control.  I have a manual transmission, and this car is a blast to drive.  Great gas mileage. I can go on a weekend road trip, and still drive around town for a week when I get home without having to fill the tank.  Very few problems with this car in the 8 years I've owned it.  It is so reliable. Highly recommend bmw's to friends!

Pros: It is still a great car 8 years after I got it
Cons: The exterior is still beautiful, but the inside seems cheaply made, and is falling apart.

The BMW convertible series is noteworthy for the uncharacteristically quiet ride on the road, even though it is a cloth top.  While the vehicle is amply powered, it certainly is missing the thrill of turbo (at least in my case).  Handling and control are top notch - the low ride suspension and wide wheel base give it great traction on the roundabouts.  But the most outstanding aspect of this car is, of course, the luxurious interior and the color and profile of the body.  It's an imminently comfortable ride - if you are in the front seat - and exceptionally fun to drive in the summer.  The car has required no repair though maintenance is rather expensive, costing around $500 every 15,000 miles.  The car is designed for high octane gasoline, and that can be pricey, though fuel economy is on par with a typical American sedan.

During the winter, the rear wheel drive control is assisted by traction control and antilock breaks.  Nevertheless, I have spun out in it, so handling on ice is as you would expect from a rear wheel vehicle.  The electronics are up front are mildly unreliable.  A few switches have stopped working correctly.  The backseat is also exceedingly uncomfortable and not fit for passengers for trips lasting more than a few miles.

Pros: Reliable, fun, attractive, sporty
Cons: uncomfortable back seat, unreliable electronics in the console

This car is great, aesthetically and mechanically.  The car has nice curves front to back with a mean look on the front end with the head lights.  The inside leather is soft with plenty of room for all passengers.  Driver controls are easy to navigate and light up well.  Mechanically, never driven a car with easier steering, car has low center of gravity turns on a dime with it rear wheel drive.  Acceleration is fantastic and braking distance is a lot better than I thought it was capable of.  Overall gas consumption averages 28-33 mpg highway and 26mpg city.  I would recommend this car to anyone.  Cant imagine owning anything else short of a BMW in future.  Great starter BMW.

Pros: looks great rides awesome
Cons: none I know of yet

After the S2000 got a little too cramped for my old man, he bought this car from his older brother in south Florida and drove it back up to PA. He got it for six grand below blue book value!!! It has not given us any trouble at all in the two years we've owned it, and we love it. It handles great, it's very comfortable and smooth, and it looks beautiful. I mean it's a Bimmer!

Pros: It's a BMW convertible, need I say more? The engine and tranny are silky smooth, the A/C blows ice cubes, and when the Bimmer was hit by a Volvo, it held up like a champion prizefighter. The backseat is also very comfortable. Getting back there is the key, but once you manage to get back there, it is very comfortable.
Cons: Wish it had heated seats and an alarm system, and it takes premium fuel.

Bought it used for 17.5k at 46k miles, best purchase I made in my life. Gets 26mpg with 5sp manual with mixed highway and city driving. Awesome Harmon Kardon stereo. 2002, 04-05 325i has outstanding reliability.  

Pros: Perfect balance of timeless styling, reliability, gas mileage, perfomance, handling
Cons: Slightly notchy shifing between 1-2 gears, little low on torque less than 20mph

It's the best investment I've had so far. Enough power to excite a boring day, especially using the steptronic shifting.  Very solid steering.  The stereo needs upgrading though.  Overall great buy.

The car performs good but, you can get use to the acceleration pretty quickly.  As far as build quality it is as good as it gets...very reliable as long as you can maintain it.  If you dont feel like you can maintain the car yourself, then expect to be paying a lot for the maintenance.  The apperarance of the car is great...a definite head turner with only a few modifications and its great to drive if you've got the 5 speed.

Pros: Its a BMW
Cons: Price of maintenance.....if you dont do it yourself

Love my car!  You'd have to have to drive one -- you'd be sold.  Drives great. Handles wonderful.  Quality has been great so far. Love the style.  Cost was too high, gas mileage not as good as I had expected.  Overall, fun to drive

Pros: way it handles
Cons: price too high
