Amazing car

This is a very fast and very fun vehicle if you have the money for various repairs and rear tires every month or so also straight piped exhaust is awesome, my experience with repairs has not been too bad I had to replace all 6 injectors and now that’s causing my oil Pan gasket to leak under high load in warmer weather however it is very minor maybe a quart per month so not too bad

oil change

I enjoy it and I take it on my long trips., I love the hard top convertible and the ease of taking the top up and down. Great for a couple of people but not built for much in the back seat, but for me it is a sports car and my other sports car has no back seat.

BMW 335I Sedan

What is there to say about the 335i? The power of the twin turbo in-line 6, the torque, the braking, the handling, manual trans, the car is such a great combination of everything one could want in a saloon. Great ride quality, quiet cabin, awesome sound system. I smile every time I drive!

Bmw is like a side chic

Always something expensive wrong with it. Every single month. Always some kind of alert light on all cryptic like, you gotta go through the manual to just figure out what the hell it is. And God almighty don't try to fix anything yourself! It's kinda like a side chic, beautiful and fun as long as she's maintained but when she's not happy you're gonna pay. Big time.

Car was purchased from Auto Sports October 2017

I was lied to and the car has been nothing but a money pit from the get go! I always wanted a performance car but this one was not taken care of.. Oh yeah they knew the family who traded it in.. BS probably bought at the auction!

That why they call them the ultimate driving machine.

I bought the car from my best friend and it is the best car I have ever owned. Quality, Performance, comfort are second to none. Almost 10 years old and it still gets looks from people like its brand new.

Best car I owned - and I've had lots of new cars

I have a 2008 BMW 335I convertible with over 77,000 miles on it. I owned it since brand new and I've had nothing but great things to say about it. Even at almost 9 years old when I hit a bump you don't hear any kind a Rattles. Well built and just a fun car to drive. I absolutely love this car.

Top Notch

Home town, local setting...I felt totally at home with everyone at the shop; very friendly and professional in their workmanship and listening to me explaining what I felt was wrong with my car. These guys know what they're doing....great service.

Best Car Ever!!!!

I had this car for 3 year and I absolutely love it. Yes with any BMW price for maintenance can be high but if you fix the problem at a relatively reasonable time the price isn't outrages. It runs great interiors are great just a fun car to drive.

BMW 328ci

Love the car but have had more repairs than I should have with a quality vehicle of low mileage.

2008 BMW328i

I bought this car used with 78000 miles under its belt. I have had 3 problems since buying the car. 1) Thermostat went out and had to be replaced and the serpentine belt needed tension. 2) Blew a hose on the power steering. 3) Blew a radiator hose. All things considered and the age and mileage these are problems that should be expected. I bought a warranty when car was purchased and part of these problems were covered after the deductible. Drove the car to Chicago (3900 mile) and was quite comfortable and not a second trouble,additionally got about 29-30 mpg for the trip.

Great used car for a DIYer

The price of many BMW's drops to 50% of the new cost when they go out of warrantee, even when they have low (30k) miles, including the 335xi. I also like that 1) it has 300 hp and 300+ ftlbs of torque, 2) is available with a true manual transmission, AWD, and 4 doors (I have a family), 3) they are not as rare as a Golf R, and 4) they are usually well cared for and not beaten like a WRX STI owned by some kid. These traits/combinations are hard to find in most cars. I don't like the electric water pump. Depending on the age (and not necessarily mileage), they fail. I replace mine (myself) for $600 with only 36k on the odometer, but it will cost $1000 to $1500 to have someone do it for you. Also, small potholes feel like craters when driving the car.

Great car

Our 3rd 3 series. This one has 146,000 on it now. Very good power, AWD, tight handling, perfect size for us. I've always driven all the competition when changing cars. Can't seem to find a better overall ride with anyone else. I'll keep checking, but expect to be in a 3 series for a while.

Love 3xx series!

Fun to drive and you get that great BMW elegant, smooth, and quiet ride. Maintenance is not cheap and the car has some quirks like the air conditioner emits a slightly moldy smell for the first minute (known issue). I've had several 3 series and love them. Back seat in my 4-door is small and not meant for adults.
