I've fallen in love with my BMW.

2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

The steering is perfectly weighted. It is simply sublime to drive around any sort of bend. The car is reasonably powerful. More power from a 335i or an M3 is almost completely useless unless one plans on breaking the law on a consistent basis. The gas mileage can be quite reasonable if the car is driven with care (which is difficult to do because it's just so much fun). Lateral stability at high speed is incredible. The suspension is stiff yet forgiving. The "fit and finish" of the interior is astounding. I've put 10,000 miles on the car (starting from 27,000) and I've had absolutely no problems with it. This car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Buy this car.

Since I purchased this car as certified pre-owned it has been back to the dealer for repairs 1/3 of the time. After multiple complaints to BMW-USA the dealer finally contacted me. Before that the dealer ignored me. I am still using a loaner car and the computer module must be replaced.

2007 BMW 3 Series 328xi 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

When I first got in this BMW 328xi I was completely excited. It felt good and was tight. I finally was able to afford a car that was going to get me from point A to point B without continually having to work on it. It only had 112K and being a BMW its gotta have another 100K. Right? The first thing I noticed was that the breaks had a bad chatter, but at that mileage it was expected. So, I had them and the rotors replaced ($800). At 130K the AWD quit work and that also makes the cruise control not work. It ended up being a transfer module (of some sort) and was $1400 to fix. After that was fixed, the check engine light came back on. I took it back ($120 for scan) and they said that the catalytic converters needed replaced ($1800). I didn't replace them because they were just starting to go bad and they said they'd probably last another 10k. I soon started to smell an awful oil smell and it was from the gasket leaking in the oil filter housing ($400) Right after that, the cross (under) pipe for the coolant system got a crack in it ($228) and I had to have it towed back to the mechanic ($98). At 140K the car picked up an annoying surge and I knew that I had a misfire. So, when I took it in to have the airbag replaced (for a recall) , I had them scan the motor and they said that cylinder 6 coil was bad ($200 for coil, $120 for scan). Now I have that oil smell back again and BMW says that I have a valve cover leak ($900). I replaced the valve cover, gaskets and spark plugs and still have an oil smell and there is an engine surge. The scan codes say something about Bank1. It appears that there is something with the PCV or ventilation system. BMW tells me that the PCV is integrated within the valve cover. Well, that's not true. I found a crack in a vent hose on the back of the valve cover. BMW just sent out a recall for that part so I took it in to get replaced. I still smell oil but it doesn't appear that I am loosing any. At 185K it start to run rough and sounds like I officially have the nortorious knock. I don't know if it's in a lifter or what. After I start the motor, I have to give it a minute to do what I call a "burp" The initial RPM is around 1100-1200 but it will drop down to 700-800 and sound like its going to die, but something takes over (electronically) and the RPMs come back up. If I don't let it "burp" it will run like crap the entire time I drive it. Afterwards, it does okay. I now have 190K miles and find that if I let it sit for a couple days it drives better for a day.

I just bought recently 335i with 71K on it and as for 6 year old car the condition of it is excellent. I am very satisfied with its interior and exterior design, the car has great performance. As for the Coupe the car is extremely reliable and Comfort. I don't know why people complain about its comfort and build quality because it is a performance car and what do you expect when you buy a used Beamer? want to look inside like in a Maybach?? ALSO EVERYTHING DEPENDS on a previous owners when you buy a used performance car especially BMW. My car had 2 OWNERS and has not even a single scratch and everything is CLEAN under the hood. So everything depends on what life the car lived.
i'm attached to my 335I
