2001 BMW 3 Series 330i Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"A big two fingers to Audi, Merc and even Porsche!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems. So far very satisfied with the car. It's fully covered under BMW's 3-year new car warranty anyway, by which time I will be on my next one... :>)
General comments?
It's a very nice shade of dark metallic blue with full cream sports leather.
I can say after owning Mercs, Audi's, VW's, this is the best car I've ever had the pleasure of driving.
It beats my last A6 2.8 Quattro in every respect. It looks good, goes superb, and I'm the envy of everyone! The new 3.0 straight six is very smooth, refined and powerful. It holds the road in a fantastic manner that is difficult to describe. The steptronic lets me drive it like a manual when I need a bit of fun country blasting. The auto works very well on its own after a hard day at the office.
I love the pillarless door tops and the way the sports seats are built. The dash is very well designed and built. The dealer service is costly but it's worth it.
Go and test drive one, the fuel MPG will astound you. I get well over 30 on a run and 26 round town.
