This is my first BMW and my only regret is that I waited this long to buy it. I think of it as a jewelbox: small and compact, but very well constructed. It's the perfect personal luxury car for those who like to drive. There's nothing flashy about it, other than the badge, yet it still gets looks. Although some of the controls appear counterintuitive at first, most of the driving-related controls are well thought out, and make sense after you understand the reason behind their design. I'm very pleased with the quietness and comfort for the front seats, although if you are a large/tall person, you might need to look at a 5- series. The back seats are for kids and people you don't like. Buy one!

I love the twin-turbo power and handling but it gave more misery than joy of driving it. It was more expensive repairing it than raising my child. A piece of German crap!!!!

If you want a good looking car that performs as well as cars that cost twice as much, look no further then the 335i. This engine is amazing, handling is crisp. After 10 years of ownership I just wish the warranty wasn't about to expire. These high end parts are expensive!

I absolutely loved driving this car, but I highly recommend a repair warranty. When something breaks, and it will, the warranty will pay for itself. Sports seats are great for the front seat, but the back is slightly cramped.

what i can say is that I love this car looks great handles very well good performance, not too big not too small, just perfect. always bring me great smile on my face and i cant wait drive it over and over again, every time is like the first time. But when it comes down to reliability oh GOSH, one thing i will say so far My BMW never let me down on a road never. But broke down like nothing else to compare with... I got the car used with 60k miles on it and now 2017 have 145k drove it all over the place snow, ice , water, mud, dust great great. now when it comes down to repairs changed Coils twice (12) valve gasket cover also, new fan, headlight like 6 times within 3 years. Pulley, Oil gasket housing, 2 termostats, 1 starter, 2 hoses from coolant system $75 a piece, something had to do with transmission it was not shifting higher then 3rd gear $900 and did the flush of the transmission fluid, few other stuff here and there i dont remember the name of it, and you know i said its ok man you got 110k miles on it something normal standard maintance.... Thne soon as i got the car to 140K water pump goes bad, doesnt show the overheating and thankGOD i wanted to change the oil and i saw Milkshake coming out.... figured out blown head gasket.... with that been said it needed 1 new radiator, all new hoses new pump new coolant reservoir new valve gasket cover oil gasket housing and the entire part (cracked when overheated) and all other stuff needed to fix this damn job, started with $4000 and ended 7400 ended up fixing it but honestly is this BMW? I have a friend with 325 since 2000' and didnt repair that car 20% of mine and has almost 300k on it and still runs. i am very disapointed. And i took care of that car every 5k oil change and break fluid every 40k been flushed coolant once a year everything like on the books...... either my bad luck or damn BMW
