This is a solid car, and set the standard for all luxury cars in it's class. The style of this year is by far my favorite, and it is solidly built (one of the last few years they actually built the cars in Germany). The X drive really is amazing in the ice/snow. I have seen many cars get stuck, while I drive right past. It's missing a lot of features that newer cars have (no Bluetooth) - but the car is reliable and has very few problems. I can't recommend this car enough.

The BMW 325i (2006) lasted a surprisingly long time. I had purchased the vehicle used from a good used car dealer who also inspected and fixed the car to essentially new condition. Given that I had purchased the vehicle when it was used for five years already, and was able to use it regularly for the next six years without much problem, I was surprised how robust it was built.
