This contribution presents a short overview about the investigation of the molecular gas content of nearby galaxies using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. I try to give a rather complete list of recent references, and explicit descriptions are given for objects under study at RAI Bonn. They comprise very different types of galaxies such as Haro 2, Mrk 297, M 82, NGC 2146, M 31 and NGC 4258. All galaxies had been studied with the IRAM 30-m telescope before and typically, the resolution into individual components by the PdBI revealed much more detail than expected. This implies a note of caution for the interpretation of single-dish data in terms of velocity structure, opacity and virial mass determination.
