BMW 3-Series Convertible (2000 - 2006) 330 Ci Sport 2d (03) (2003/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That i like quality and sporty all in one package. Car looks more expensive than it actually is.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all love it. The Imola red colour with black roof gets plenty of comments. Neighbours probably not too chuffed at me leaving for work at 7am and the noise from the exhaust rumbles through their house :-).

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definately although i will be in no rush to get rid of this one.

What are you likely to buy next?

Perhaps an E92 335i convertible but thats way off in the distance. For now i have everything i need....and more.

Independent

No

What price did you pay?

£5,500

When did you buy the car?

January 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I did. Included in the price i received a two warranty.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I had previously owned a 330ci coupe and know they are fantastic cars.

What was the dealer like?

Great to deal with and very helpful. Car needed new brake discs which were done for me and also had a problem with 5th gear being quite notchy. He replaced the gearbox.

What's it like to drive?

Beautiful. Likes to be driven easy and hard. very relaxed at cruising speeds and a beast when you open it up.

What's it like to park?

Parking sensors make it easy although you do have a blind spot at the c pillar. To be expected from a convertible i suppose.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not a thing. Just perfect.

What's most practical about your car?

It will seat 4 and has a reasonable boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Heated seats. A must on a convertible. Electric roof is cool and engine is sublime.
