2004 BMW 3 Series Coupe 330Ci Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Love the car, hate the problems
 I've wanted a BMW coupe for years and was excited to finally get one.  I truly love the styling of the car and the way it drives.  In less than 2 years of ownership, I've had to bring in the car in for unscheduled maintenance/repairs 6 times.  These issues included, replacing the door locking mechanism so I could get out of the car (problem has resurfaced), new transmission, dead battery, emissions issues, coolant system leak, and A/C recall.  If the problems with the car had been relatively minor as can be expected in some German cars, I could understand, but I don't think I'll ever purchase another BMW again.
