My Brand New Lemon - BMW 330cic

[Bmw 325i 7803]

Definitly, I love that bike, it is amazing, it is very well balanced. I can go no hands most of the time, it is very fast 24 speed. It has survived many jumps, as well as falls. It has a beautiful look to it, and it is a crowd pleaser. I get so much praise around it. Its also very nible and manuverable, I pull off some insane stuff on it. Ill take some pictures of it later. I already had to replace the rear tire because i use it so much. Worth the money.. On the car issue, well if it is leased anyway dosent the dealer have to take care of it anyway?

Glad you love the BMW bike...I should get one of those...(don't see BMW cycles everyday... not nearly as much as the cars) About the car, yes the dealer has to take care of it... but if it's a lemon or has some quirks you're stuck with it. Not to mention the problem with dealing with the dealer... The 2.5 and 3.0 I bet both equally have their issues, but usually don't have problems. The 3.0 is a much smoother and better feeling engine than the 2.5, it also is more efficient and burns less gas than the 2.5 if you could believe it. A test in Manhattan traffic proves it, it also has a nicer exhaust sound and growl at under 2k rpms. Speedwise it's a second quicker than the 2.5 and tops out at over 130 for both engines. (no real difference) I say the 3.0 is better for NYC traffic... as opposed to the thirsty 2.5. But if you're interested in leasing a 325ci go for it... Why the 2 door rather than the 4 door? and while you're hunting for it skip manhattan bmw, they're not worth a consideration.

btw, Right now BMW has a lease deal on the 325i for $299 a month on their website... I think there might be a deal out on all 3 series cars up for lease, nows a good time if you're looking.

If your car is so bad just suffer the loss and trade it in. You may lose 3K, but at least you've gotten rid of it. Just don't mention your problems, let the dealer deal with that. Sure the next guy will eventually curse the day he bought it but you had to do what you had to do.

there is not a BMW out there that is quirkier or more high maintenance than mine, but I still love the car......just last night taking a ride topless, the stereo decides to quit working, no radio station would play, no CD would play and it flipped over to the time showing instead of the radio station playing, I kept turning it on and off over and over, but nothing........I patted him and said "come on Hal give me back some sound"......nothing.....then today while driving, again no sound, and then all of a sudden there was blasting music.....he teases me often...

Hahahaha!

Grunt, you should definitely go with the BMW. I was in a friend's 01 330Ci and those 3-series are just so well-built and it's not really that "BMW makes a good car" (even though they do). It's more like, "BMW cars are the way a car SHOULD feel" and all the other companies try to mimic the BMW driving experience for that, especially with BMW's superb balance of luxury and performance.
