Tuition for 3 children kept me from purchasing a BMW for many years. However, now is a different story! I have 3 grandchildren in Florida and they love riding badman's car because I have a hard top! If you drive the ultima driving machine - then do it. This car is absolutely a charm, I love the way it hugs the road on turns and acceleration. I like to speed, indeed I do and this is the vehicle to do it with. I don't mine getting stuck in traffic anymore! If I ever have to buy another car - BMW you are it!! Happy camper!! Ms. Lago

2008 BMW 3 Series 328xi 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Bought a 328xi sport coupe after previously owning 2 Audi TTs. The worst feature is the run flat tires. Ride is very harsh and the $300+ to replace is outrageous. Ruined one in the first 300 miles on an Interstate pothole. Had to drive 150 miles @ 50 MPH. At least it lasted more than the advertised 50 mi. The odometer and speedometer are 6-7% high (that's worth about $400 on a 30,000 mile lease). Poor design 12V port in center storage area is in a position that won't allow the lid to close when any of my eqpt plugs are inserted. Gas mileage is poor. Lucky to get 18 MPG even on Interstate. TT with DSG got >25 MPG, weighed about the same and was quicker. 328 automatic is crude compared to Audi.

Consider this the final verdict on the 2008 335i coupe. We put 50,000 miles on this car in less than 3 years and only sold it because we needed something with 4 doors. We bought a 2011 X3 28i. This car was fast and comfortable from the day we got it. Tap the accelerator, the turbos kick in and it is off like a shot. 0-60 this car was nearly as fast as my '99 Corvette. We loved the iPod, the bluetooth, the sports seats and the handling. According to friends, once you got in the back seat, that was comfortable, too.
Looks are deceiving

It's a great looking car inside and out with impressive technology for it's year. I owned the car for one year and had to get coil replace and value gasket cover twice. Sports mode is a great feature but this contributes to all the mechanical problems. The car also vibrates when going over 60.

2008 BMW 3 Series 335i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Nicely appointed car with the driving excitement of a mid 90's Ford Taurus. 6 speed shiftable automatic transmission is rough in automatic modes and sluggish when shifted with paddles. Handling gives little road feel, and the car does very poorly on wet roads. Excessive road noise at highway speeds with original run-flat tires. BMW has managed to engineer the fun out of this very quick sedan. Gas mileage on premium is poor. Driver comfort with sport seats is very good, but the front passenger seat is cramped for an average adult. Many of the car's electronic features work only on an intermittent basis. The car is a real disappointment at $50K+ fully equipped.
