2001 BMW 330i SPORT M-Tech

Advantages: its amazing
Disadvantages: you spend to much time in it

...I have just purcahsed a BMW 330i sport M-tech and its awesome. First the outside subtle sports detailing mean you stand out from the crowd and there are plenty of 3 series beemers around these days. If you want second takes then this is the model for you. Mine is a 2002 in silver. Once you get over the gorgeous flared arches and the simple boot spoiler coupled with the agressive looking fornt you open the door. With the M-tech you step over the M badged door sill protectors and jump into gorgeous black leather sports seats. The door closes with and executive rasp as the air is squashed. Once aboard you feel like you are in control the cockpit design means everything is aimed at pleasing one person, the driver. The finish is impecable with carbon fibre everywhere and simple delecate touches. A twist of the key fires the 3Ltr...

BMW 330 CI - Ultimate Driving Machine?

Advantages: Fast, silky engine, good looks.
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy, boot could be bigger

...I have a 52 plate 330CI which I have had from new. It's approaching it's 7th birthday, and in my opinion is a supurb machine. There was a few nigging faults when it was new, with the windows, quite a common problem, and the central locking has a fit every now and again. It has been through a couple of coil packs too, but they are quite cheap to replace. Enough of the negative points, this car drives like a dream, fast, and responsive when you want. Plenty fast enough to have your partner shouting in your ear to slow down, when you see some open road, but a quiet comfortable cruiser on long motorway runs. It is pretty fuel efficient too. I often get mid 30's MPG on the motorway, and mid 20's around town. Lets not forget this is a 3 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine with 231 BHP and 300 NM torque, so if you are heavy with your...

BMW 330Ci Sport, with M3 body styling

Advantages: One word, German.
Disadvantages: Thirsty and not for the faint hearted, also, damned expensive!!!!!!

...Agile, powerful and refined, the BMW 3 Series Coupe is an irresistible blend of pure excitement and sophisticated technology. Its powerful engine and superbly balanced chassis deliver a driving experience that will make any other on the road car seem small and insignificant. The main reason why I bought this car was because I wanted something that would be reliable. Something that would last, and that I could pass on to future generations of my family. I drove all 6 versions of the 3 Series coupe (318Ci, 320Ci, 320Cd, 325Ci, 330Ci, 330Cd) The 330Ci seemed to me to be the best buy because of its reliability, smooth ride, handling and pure power. Second to the 330Ci were the 318Ci and then the 325Ci. Ok, admittedly I have only had this car for a year, but so far I have found no problems, and the car just seems to be getting better...

Outstanding 330d

Advantages: Performance, Build Quality, Value, Price Retension
Disadvantages: Not Much

...Introduction In December I purchased a new BMW 330d SE 4 door saloon for £27,586 with automatic gearbox, leather seats, wood trim and CD autochanger. I must say this car is absolutely amazing. So far after six weeks and 2,500 miles I have had no problems at all. The build quality is excellent, no rattles or squeaks. The dealer service was excellent, the car being delivered on time and in pristine condition. The Car Even though this car is powered by a 3 litre diesel engine the noise levels are very low, only when the car is started from cold do you get any indication that it is a diesel. Once the engine warms up the engine sounds refined and smooth. The car is very quiet inside and fifth gear will take you from 25mph to 141mph. 0-62mph is a achieved in 8.2 seconds for the automatic or 7.8 seconds for the manual version...

Review of BMW 330d

My 3rd BMW

Advantages: Performance economy and comfort
Disadvantages: It does not drive it self ( well not quite )

...My first BMW was an old shape 12 year old 728i, even for its age it drove like a dream. I fell in love with BMW engineering. The second was a new shape 318i, this was my first out of the showroom BMW and it was great fun to drive. At the end of March the 318i went back to the lease company an I decide to buy my own and take the company car allowance I get from work. I saw a beautiful diamond black 330D Sport priced at 33K in the local BMW showroom in Doncaster. The only drawback I thought wrongly was the Automatic gearbox. Well it had been a while since having an automatic and I wanted this car there and then as the lease on my old car was near expiring, ( took 2 weeks )I gave it a go and bought it. The interior is bright cream leather with M "Black Cube" decorative trim. The M Sports steering wheel is finished in black leather...

BMW 330CI CONVERTABLE D/P

Advantages: looks
Disadvantages: fuel

...Brought this car six weeks ago and where do i start?. The power?,the looks?, or the relibilty of the car. The first thing that sold the car to me was when the sales man pushed the button on the key fob and the roof dropped down with out me being in the car, it also does this from quite a distance. I got the m-sport pack which does set the car off a treat. I get on the fuel economy approx 24-25 mpg on a run, i try to keep the at 40 mpg on the dash. This car is fast and in sports mode with the sequntial gears it does hold the road and keeps the power coming. The roof is great and not to bad on drop speed, can do this at lights if straight off, but dont do it if they change quick as you will feel a fool. The car does look great and drives excellent, with the roof down i have not gone for a wind deflector as why have a convertable...

Review of BMW Z4 2.0i Roadster

BMW 328i Sport Coupe

Advantages: Stylish, powerful, fast, reliable, comfortable, great fun to drive.
Disadvantages: Expensive to run, lack of luggage space, poor fuel consumption.

...This is a review of my BMW 328i Sport Coupe (E36). BMW describe their cars at ?the ultimate driving machines? and with the 328 coupe, BMW certainly does not disappoint. With stylish good looks, breathtaking performance and smooth, precise handling, the 328 coupe is a car that brings a smile to your face every time you drive it. Performance: With BMW?s legendary, smooth 6-cylinder, 2.8 litre engine and 193bhp, the 328 coupe is a pleasure to drive. For those interested in performance figures, 0-60 is quoted at a little over 6 seconds and top speed is limited to 143mph. But those figures don?t tell the entire story. In the 328, power is delivered in such a smooth way and, whilst acceleration is very quick, you don?t realise how quick you are going until you glance down at the speedometer! But that?s not all - the 328 just keeps...

Review of BMW 328i Coupé

Does the 330i live up to the hype

Advantages: Good looking, quick, reliable, the clear leader in its field!
Disadvantages: Apart from cost none spring to mind.

...Before I get to the answer a couple of points to note; Firstly, buying the 330 was somewhat of a compromise (first offspring on the way and a two seater would clearly no longer suffice). Secondly, if you want that combination of looks, build quality and performance then I guess one inevitably comes has to try out a BMW. Thirdly, my first BMW (a company car, 7 years ago) was a 318is coupe so I thought I knew what the 330 would be about. But does it need to be a 330? At over £30k for the "all bells and whistles variety" it's not cheap and let's face it, how often is having the speed restricted to 155 mph going to be an issue? Let's deal with the various considerations (without resorting to facts and figures; go to the BMW website for those). The drive; nothing short of excellent. The ride is solid and the car reacts...

Review of BMW 330i

BMW 120D M-Sport

Advantages: Quick, Great Handling, fun and fuel efficient.
Disadvantages: Expensive, Run Flat Tyres, rear leg and boot space.

...I now own a BMW 120D M-Sport and after driving alternatives such as the Audi A3, VW Golf TDI and the Focus TDCI, i came to the conclusions the BMW was perfect for my needs. Out of the three the BMW had the best handling aside from the AUDi's Quattro system which i feel lacked the poise and preciseness a rear wheel car gives you(RWD is also much more fun). The BMW had more grunt than the other cars and is nearly half a second quicker than it's nearest rival (Audi A3). The ride can be crashy on less than smooth roads due to it's Run Flat Tyres which i may add are very expensive and wear out much quicker than standard tyres. They don't add any benefit to the dynamics and handling of the car. Please note Run Flat Tyres are fitted standard. The 120D however, does lack rear space but isn't at all cramped as long as the front driver...
