Amazing to drive but expensive to maintain

Amazing to drive, especially in sports mode, but requires constant pre-emptive maintenance. The feature where the steering wheel immobilises if it loses power is very dangerous and resulted in a situation where I was unable to move the car to safety after it lost power and died on a main road in heavy traffic. We've had the car 2 months and have already had 4 problems with it (rear left window regulator had to be replaced, water tank for the window washer leaks, the alternator died, and the steering wheel immobilised when the car lost power). Expensive to maintain, poor fuel efficiency, and dangerous when it fails. This is a car for people with a lot of time and money to pour into it; it's impractical for anyone else.

2005 330Ci overall best car I ever owned,330,00mls

I absolutely love my 2005 BMW 330ci. From its sports car exterior to its user friendly cockpit and surprisingly roomy interior for a coupe. I look forward to driving this machine every day and even take to race on a closed coarse near my home. Performance is great with incredible handling and a lot of get up and go from the powerful V6. Just switch off the Dynamic Stability Control and the Traction Control with the touch of a button and you are in for a good time to put it lightly. Overall a great car that puts a smile on your face everytime you drive it. Just watch your fluid levels and keep up on oil changes and you are good to go. Oh and did I mention mine has 336,000 miles on the odometer, now that’s impressive!
