Plenty of reviews and discussions on the web about BMW 3 series. It is a great car for driving around the city with a mix of highway and city streets and parking lots. It gives decent mileage, although it does require 91 octane gasoline. Very comfortable seats built to hold you in place, and the ride can be rough with the tight sport car suspension. There are numerous cars on the market of comparable size, but practically all of them are borng. The BMW is a fun drive. It has all the features you ould expect on a luxury car of comparable year of manufacture, and the design of those features like most German cars is clean and functional with minimal glitz and chrome.

Everything about the design of the E46 is a little more refined, a little more thought out, and feels a little more robust. From the thunk of the doors closing, to turning the key in the trunk lock tumbler, to pressing the climate control buttons, the 330ci just feels like a newer more refined car. It is. The interior lights have a one touch defeat instead of a toggle switch. The light behavior resets when you turn the car on next. Ie. if you have the doors open and want the lights to go off, you hit the button. Next time you open the door up, the lights will go on again...no toggle switch to reset. My 330ci also has rain sensing wipers. They just plain work. Turn the wipers on, and forget about them...the system keeps them on at the perfect intervals, 100% of the time. The E46 is just a newer design with more time behind it. BMW wouldn't be evolving if the newer cars didn't offer more features and engineering that operates on more levels for better efficiency. To some people, these things make for a "nicer" car. And some people prefer the raw, more simple nature of an older car that is closer to a purpose-built driving machine. Again, it's down to your preferences and where you want to make compromises.Feb 11, 2015
