I drive a 2003 330ci.. and the car is just a blast to drive!

Hell yes, IIRC it runs about 230/240 HP, and is still quite quick nocking back a sub 7 sec 0 ? 60 time, i think its something like 6.6 sec's to be exact. The things is i wouldn?t have been able to have the car without the (sports) M-pack installed.

The E46 M3 which i driven has about 340HP IIRC, i would have creamed if i could have had one of those, especially in Estoril Blue with the 19inch alloys soft top.

my experience is that they base their praise/criticism on how well the car works when it works, rather than the problems they had with it. i've seen cadillac long-term tests where it was clear that the thing was a borderline lemon, yet they loved it. as others have mentioned, they have this luxury because they don't depend on the car. but clearly if any of us owned this car, we'd be really pissed off.
