Positive Review
I bought this car in 2009 with only 18 miles on it. About 7 years and 107,700 miles later, it still drives like new. I have only replaced my run flat tires 3 times, as they seem to last longer than expected, got new brakes about a year ago, I replaced the battery about 2 years ago, just replaced all the spark plugs and engine coils (tune up) about 6 months ago and aside from synthetic oil changes every 8-10k miles, that's it for maintenance or repairs. This car is fast for a base model sedan, handles well and has been the most dependable car I've ever owned, never breaking down, not even once. The interior has also held up well, with the spring in one of the cup holders being the only thing that has broken. In fact, when it's clean, my car still looks brand new (not a single dent) and no one can believe it's a 2009! I can see myself easily driving this car for several more years now that it's paid off. For me, it was totally worth the money.

Critical Review
I had 3 series since 2000. The first one, a 1987 model was very good, a daily driver. The second was a 2002 model, very good that my son now drives, at 151kmiles. Then I bought my wife a 2011 328 which now has 55kmiles and I drive a 09 335i. Both Late models consistently eat a quarter of oil every 3000 miles. They also like chewing on spark plugs and ignition coils. The 2011 had plugs replaced at 50kmiles, completely worn, along with a 5th cylinder ignition coil. Water pumps go between 45k miles and 70 k miles, expect to spend around $1,200, and don't delay replacing these, they are plastic made and will fail. If you drive on a failed pump your engine will fry. Window regulators are made of cheap plastic, expect to replace them after 50 k miles. A/C compressor used to fail at 120 k miles, the E90 models start growling at 60 k miles. Also, the heat in Texas makes the interior panels peel off. In summary, it seems like BMW currently makes 60k mile cars. I doubt I will have another one. I will miss the sharp driving but it is just not worth the hassle.

I had no intention of getting this car, but I'm glad I did. I absolutely LOVE this car! The sport seats are very comfortable, the performance is really good, and the car looks beautiful. The interior is made of high quality materials and has held up well in the Texas heat. I love the adaptive headlights at night. This car has really spoiled me with these headlights. Following the road as I drive at night, having a designated turning light that illuminates where I am turning is fantastic! Also the paddle shifts are quite responsive and I really enjoy using them. I haven't had any issues with he convertible top. Just as long as you keep the roof greased you'll be good. I don't like is that there isn't a functioning skip button in the car for when I am listening to music using the aux feature. Makes it a hassle to skip songs while driving. This is a BMW so it is high maintenance. Valve cover gaskets only lasted 60k miles. I just got my car back from the shop today 12th of September 25' after having to throw almost $2,000 into fixing the radiator and some other parts in the cooling system. Im overall very satisfied with this little car. The driving experience trumps all of it's flaws.
Descent car, upgrades repaired and car runs and drives smooth. Very reliable …………………………………………xyxyxyxyxy
more trouble than it was worth...endless pages....too many questions....took forever to get value...
I have a 2007, 328i with VERY low miles, 71k. ONE OWNER. Upto date maintenance by DEALER. Love this car. Real "Ultimate Driving Machine". Flawless, inside out. Can't find ANY similar car. Always GARAGE kept. Always hand washed & cleaned by OWNER. Clay Barred & Waxed by OWNER.
BMW my first one! Purchased this 335i 3 days ago and I am glad I did. A sports coupe 2 doors and horsepower to boost with twin turbos punching 300 snap cap beers. Six foot tall and there is plenty of room to push the gas peddle to the floor. Weighing in at 3100 pounds with 300 horses and loads of torque the HP to weight ratio is tremendous. My 335i is a little rough on the edges but mechanical sound. Hey I'm 75 years young and still love speed and this BMW gets the job done. Go get your energy boost with this CAR.
low mile very good clean taitel low price good clare mint 2006 bmw 330xi mile 95k all service ready new brakes and rotors
Very quick and good looking car
Regular maintenance
This car is a great stick shift vehicle that offers many premium options like leather heated seats for the winter season, adaptive cruise control for highways, and last but not least a great car on gas mileage with $60 you can get a full tank of over 270 miles and last for a a few days depending on the use.
Cheap, Quick, Comfortable
Expensive parts and service
170k miles and she still runs like new. Decent power out of the Inline 6, quicker than most cars around the price point. The car is also insanely comfortable, plenty of room in the back and front and the seats feel great. I would recommend this car although parts and work is pricey.
