First of all, the BMW 330ci is a beautiful car to look at. I've had it many years now and I'm still stopped and complimented on the good looks of this car. It's compact yet smooth lines are graceful, yet racy. The quality paint work has held up to the extreme sun where I live. The black convertible roof still looks like the day it came off the lot. The interior seating is a fine quality, butter-soft leather that has held up admirably to use and hot weather. It's still pristine and I use the vehicle daily. Interior styling is good to look at, the gauges measure every imaginable detail and more, and it has all the bells and whistles. The car drives like a sports car. It's responsive and smooth and quick. So quick, that I often have to watch the speedometer because the driver doesn't really feel the speed he's running it just purrs along while racing along the road. Like all BMWs, the 330ci hugs the curves and handles the hills with ease. The car's really fun to drive. The convertible top comes down and goes up with the press of a button, and I use it often, especially on day trips. What a great way to travel when the weather is sunny and the sky is bright blue. The gas mileage is very good. I get right around 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. The 330ci has a gauge which allows you to follow your gas usage in real time and adapt your style to better your mileage. It's easy to use and can be left on the dashboard as you monitor other functions as well. I've had no expensive breakdowns or repairs necessary in this car. My vehicle is now 10 years old and things are needing repair here and there but that's to be expected. We've been able to either do the work ourselves or use a good mechanic to fix our problems at this point. We have not had to make use of the BMW dealership to make any repairs yet. Any made there would be quite expensive. All in all, I would definitely buy a BMW 330ci again. Once you've had this car. you're spoiled, and it would be hard to go back to a different brand.
