I have just purchased a new BMW 330Ci (2001 model), with leather interior, satellite navigation system, steptronic gearbox, and electric sunroof. The exterior of the car is superb. The styling is sleek, sophisticated and modern. Its instantly recognisable as a luxury car. The interior certainly does not disagree with first impressions! The leather seats are very comfortable, well made, and their position can be adjusted electronically. The car even remembers your seating and mirror preferences and can set them automatically when you start the car! The controls are all at your fingertips, and several functions are available on the sports ...  Read the complete review

I bought my car brand new about 3 weeks ago, and it would be an understatement to say that I liked it.........I love it! Firstly, the car I bought is Sapphire black with beige leather interior. I had a 6 disc CD changer and a tracker fitted. Its the sports model, so comes with a meaner looking front and rear bumper, slightly firmer suspension, sports multi funtion steering wheel, 'M' gear knob and kick plates inside the doors, it also has the 18" 'M' V spoke wheels (225/45's on the front, 255/35's on the rear). Additional options that the car came with are a front arm rest, heated front seats and 3rd seat belt in the rear. The 330 ...  Read the complete review

The other day I had a test drive in a shiny new 330Ci. It was stacked to the eyeballs with gadgets and extras, but I was interested in the engine. Driving this car was quite amazing. The engine is so smooth and so quiet it is easy to go extremely quickly without realising it. The car I drove had BMW's automatic Steptronic gearbox. This means that it can be driven as an automatic (stick it in Drive and leave it) or can be switched to Steptronic mode by moving the gearlever to the right (Sport mode) and change gears manually by nudging the lever backwards and forwards. In sport mode the automatic changes up a gear once it hits the redline. The engine revs ...  Read the complete review

I've owned the predecessor of the the 330Ci, the 328Ci, for a year now, having previously owned 4 BMWs. I bought it new only to discover that the 330Ci was announced a few months later, and it was significantly cheaper. That's garages for you. The car itself is stunningly good looking, very quick and smooth. It does however have a few drawbacks which anyone looking at buying one should consider. Surprisingly I don't believe the build quality to be as it used to be. For example the Harman Kardon hi-fi system is excellent at loosening panels and demonstrating the 328's propensity to shake, rattle and roll along to the music. The ...  Read the complete review
