While the recently revealed 2004 5 Series makes use of the "flame surfacing" idea favored by BMW's current head of design, the next 3 Series looks more like a smaller version of the previous 5 Series. Engine choices probably won't change all that much although the high-performance Motorsport coupe (likely renamed 4 Series) is expected to get V8 power. BMW's iDrive control system is a probable addition along with plenty of other new comfort and convenience features necessary to keep the best-selling sedan at the top of the sales charts. Less

The BMW X5 with xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive system, is a true Sports Activity Vehicle: powerful, dynamic and flexible. Once you get to know the X5, youll soon forget the meaning of the word compromise. Its powerful engines, its innovative all-wheel drive system and its flexible, adaptable interior are convincing proof that BMW never does anything by half. Less

The other '3'

by carnut2k4 , May 21, 2005
Pros: Phenomenal handling, safety, construction
Cons: Small backseat and trunk, could use about 50 more horsepower
The Bottom Line: -
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: With the 3 Series scheduled for another facelift when the 2006 model hits the showroom floors, I decided to grab some wheel time in the 2005 model. The '06 is on my short list of 'possible next cars' and I'd like to know what they've changed...

My 3rd Beemer--Still a Fantastic CAR--Almost perfect

by socalh2oskier , Dec 4, 2004
Pros: Fun Factor is a 10--great handling and also classy.
Cons: AVOID THE NAV--IT IS HORRIBLE! Tilt on steering wheel should come down lower.
The Bottom Line: BMW 3 series continues to lead the pack with the best combo of sport and class on the road
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I just traded my 2004 BMW 330 convertible for a 2005 325 convertible. I loved the 2004, but it had the sport package, and, after a couple of back surgeries last year, it sat a bit low and was uncomfortable. I had previously had a 2003 325...

When Your Mind Says Sports Sedan, But Your Ego Says SUV...

by drive571 , May 30, 2005
Pros: Meaty steering, surprisingly athletic handling, solid structure, excellent front-seat comfort.
Cons: Dinky cargo area, no third-row seating, poor fuel economy, touchy brakes, faintly absurd prices.
The Bottom Line: Cossetting luxury, impressive agility, acceptable utility. But... am I missing something, or is all this available in the less-expensive 3-Series wagon?
This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: My Experience

I'll start this review off with a little background: I like BMWs. From 318i convertibles to 530i sedans to the tiny 1-Series hatchback I drove in Scotland, I've never driven a BMW I didn't like. However, I generally...
