 This is the second convertible BMW that 
I purchased.  The first was a 2000 
323CI, it was sluggish and had 
mechanical problems.I traded the car 
for the new improved 2001 330ci, this 
car is a nightmare.  The car is 
sluggish - you have to slam on the gas 
to get the car to move, the doors do 
not shut properly and are hard to open; 
latch seems to get stuck.  The top does 
not go down completely, the seat belts 
leave grease marks and are wearing the 
leather on the side of the seat.  There 
is a rattle that no one can seem to 
fix.  The rollover mechanism had to be 
replaced and the list goes. Good luck 
in getting someone from BMW to call you 
back.
