2002 BMW 3 Series Coupe 325Ci Rwd 2dr Coupe (2.5L 6cyl 5M)
A real stunner
 I bought used '02 325Ci with 5K miles, 
have driven another 1K. This car lives 
up to the hype. Yes, there are a lot of 
them, guess why? I compared the BMW 
against the Audi A4, M-
B C-class and Lexus IS. As much as I 
love my SLK (and kept it for the 
weekends!), the BMW really begs to 
be driven. I needed a usable back seat 
and comfortable highway car -- the 
325Ci delivers. I'm no lead foot, 
and the 184hp is fine. The car's 
wonderful in everyday driving. I'm sure 
the M3 and 330Ci fly, but unless 
your last car was a Corvette you won't 
feel deprived. The coupe is stylish and 
scarcer than the sedan, so the "me too" 
factor isn't bad even here in southern 
Cal.
