2004 BMW 3 Series Convertible 330Ci Rwd 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Great car but reliability is awful
 I fell in love with the look, performance, and premium features of this car.  I've owned it for 2.5 years and it has been at the dealer for repairs about 12 times.  No major problems but problems nonetheless that require constant repairs.  Defective battery, leaking headlight washer system, broken trunk lock, rattling convertible top, squeeky window, the list goes on and on.  I bought this car and babied it, planning to keep it forever.  I'm not planning to dump it as I'm sure once the warranty is out I will be getting killed on repair bills.  I'll never buy another BMW.
