Dream Car

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

I have owned my 335xi for almost 2 years. (6 speed manual, platinum bronze metallic, cw package, adaptivelights) It has 44K miles and my total maintenance cost has been an oil changes, a set of tires and a set of spark plugs (turbo needs them replaced at 45K mi). Agree with other posters, this just a downright FAST car. High speed merge, no problem, pop it down into 3rd and "engage".

ULTIMO Commuter Sedan

Have had the car for more than an year and have had ZERO mechanical issue. Only problem I had was with a ticking noise from the b-pillar but it mysteriously disappeared after the dealer replaced the seat belt mechanism. The fit and mechanics in today's BMW are so intricate that just a small thing out of balance will cause some annoying thing like a ticking noise. Various dealers tried to deal with this noise but nothing resolved it until the solution listed above, again the noise was there immediately after the repair but now it's not there anymore. Something must have expanded inside the b-pillar or fit into place? Now I can truly/fully enjoy my Ultimate Driving Machine!

I bought a 2008 328xi pearl white with chocolate interior in June 2020 and it is now August 22nd. I have not had 1 problem. I drove it from Pittsburgh to ocean city Maryland the first day i bought it and 0 problems. I have put over 4 thousand miles on in in the few months i had it. I bought the car for $7,500 with only 65,000 miles on it. Don’t tell the police on me but i went 130 mph on the highway down to ocean city just to see how fast it could go... perfect handling around sharp corners. I can’t wait to see how it drives in the winter time with AWD. very luxurious and sporty... 1 thing u don’t like is the cup holders..... they suck. I love everything else so i guess that makes up for it.

I’ve had my 2008 335ix 4door since 2010. 110,00 miles. Dinan upgraded intake, exhaust and computer. I even ran her on the track once - flat out at over 150mph, slid through the curves like an Olympic skier! Always runs great, minimal maintenance but for the basics: water pump, coils, brakes, shocks. I’ve owned other BMWs, Porsche, Mustang and Mercedes and this is the best of them all.

best first car

2008 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

I got this car when I was young and it was the best decision I have ever made. As of now, it has 104,000 miles on it but still runs like a gem. I've had a couple problems, like the starter going and the speedometer staying at 0, but nothing that the dealership can't fix in a couple days. Next, this car has a very good air/heat system and seat warmers. Also, the speakers that come with this car are unreal. You can feel the bass all over. Overall, it is a high quality car that really changes the way you drive. I recommend the 2008 328i for any young or older driver.
