2005 BMW 3 Series 325i review from North America
"This is far and away one of the finest automobiles I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None so far and with the BMW warranty, it should be painless for at least a few years. After the warranty runs out, I will have to closely look at wether or not to keep the car. Parts are hugely expensive and the dealwer costs are pricey.
General comments?
As the 2005 3 series is the last of the generation, all the refinements over the years have come together to produce a great machine.
The level of performance exceeds all others in the same price range.
The quality of the build is more than I anticipated.
The reputation of BMW is well deserved.
