2005 BMW 3 Series Sedan 325i Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)
A REAL car that suits me perfectly
 I've owned several cars over the past 10 years.  All were new compacts.  I wanted something that could take passengers to lunch for business but was fun to drive, reasonable gas mileage, and was quiet and comfortable for long trips.   I got it all in spades with the 325i I bought.  I bought a base model which had more features than I wanted.  Finding a manual tranny on a 325i is tough.  I replaced the wood trim with aluminum and it looks fantastic.  I love the sound of the engine, the handling, the intuitive nature of the controls, and everything about this car.  I couldn't be happier with my decision.
