I was always a fan of the BMW 330ci coupe. I dont own one, but Ive always had a soft spot for them.

those cars are extra ragged. the maintainence on BMW's is unreal. plus shop time is like 150 bucks an hour....do yourself a favor and do not buy this car.

ive owned a pre-owned m3 for almost 2 years not and have yet to have to do a "major" repair on it yet, only thing that ive had to redo is the brakes which after all said and done was only around 900...so the upkeep on these cars arent what everyone blows them up to be

three of my friends have the 330. all bought brand new. when i say maintanence, a 900 dollar brake problem is precisely what i am referring to. a few examples from my friends cars.....(there were several warranty repairs, but my examples are all post warranty) brakelight malfunction: 500 dollars; passenger window came off-track, 475; rear leather stitching came apart, 900ish; and the list goes on. bear in mind all three were purchased brand new, this doesnt include no less than six flat tires on ONE car due to low profile tires on sprt package, and more maintanence issues. just my opinion on the brand.
