BMW 330ci
 

I'm looking at the 2001 BMW 330ci. Anyone own one of these or have any opinions on this car? I dont know too much about beamers but really like the look of these cars. Yes I know they cost an arm and a leg and yes I know I could build 3-4 CRX with turbo and hit 12's on all of them with the money, but I wanna know what you think about this car in terms of reliability, performance, and cost? I prefer the M's but money doesnt grow on trees so the 330ci might be the one.

very nice but your right the m cars are much more beautiful. Do like my friend did, look for a little bit older one than that and buy the m3 youll be so much happier

I drove a newer 328i I think or maybe it was a 330i. It was a six speed and had some nice tourque. The wheels looked really nice which were factory 18 inch wheels. Not the fastest car you could get but I think it looks pretty good and is luxorious.

slow? that car runs mid 14's stock, I'll have time slips somewhere to prove it. I am a BMW freak. My best friend owns an '01 330ci 5speed.

check out www.E46fanatics.com you will not be dissapointed w/ that car no atter what.

:edit: cause I found the time slips and it said anywhere from 15.0 to 14.4(best)

IMO BMW's are for rich old men who need to compinsate for lack in just about all areas other then finacial.

IMO I spent a whole ------- lot of money to make my car handle better then that car does stock. the interior is ergonomic and functional, there is enough power on tap to do whatever you need it to do, and plus you get the fun stuff (like xenon's and Navi, and ---- like that) If I could rock that car I would, But I can't afford one, so I built my civic to surpass it.
