2004 BMW 3 Series Sedan 330xi AWD 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
Great combo of Fun/Practical
 Purchased used w/ 18K miles almost 2 years ago. My driving is both suburban and highway, mostly conservative but I like to open it up once in a while.  I drive about 20k per year.  As title says, this car is a great combo of features when you have to use it to bring a kid to soccer practice, etc and like to "play" a bit.  Not as comfortable on a long trip as our Volvo but it's livable.  We have extended service plan up to 100k and it is worth it as with almost all Euro cars everything is very expensive and BMW takes full advantage.
