We love this generation of the BMW 3 Series. It's one of the most beautiful cars BMW made, it drives extremely well, and since it's only a couple of years off sale it still has all the modern luxury and safety touches. Do we wish it had better fuel economy? Sure, and we also wish it didn't drink premium. Still, it's hard to go wrong with the BMW 325i.
