2004 BMW 3 Series Sedan 325i Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)
Perfect combo of performance & value
 I bought my car used with 5k miles, it now has almost 9k, no problems whatsoever.  It is base model, so options limited.  Reminds me of the older BMWs and ALFAs of the 60s & 70s.  Handling is superb (I've previously competitively raced ALFAs).  Although engine power is slightly less than some competitors, the broad powerband and sound of the engine is a sweet blessing.  I've got the auto, would have bought 5 speed but price was right on steptronic, and the tranny really works with the engine to deliver the best ratios for whatever driving you do.  Not worth the money for the extras or the 330i, you'll be happy with the base 325i if you're an enthusiast!  Happy Motoring to all....
