I hate to say I paid 52k to be broken down on the side of the road at 2k miles. I am on my 2nd fuel pump as of last week, tonight 12/7/09 on the side of the road no oil in the motor. I could have driven, but the i drive oil light blinked red and told me to stop driving. The car is only good for wondering where and when I will be broken down next. I had the car in the shop for electrical problems for two weeks. Its not maintenance free if you have to be on the side of the road as much as I have been. If the reliability is bad then the build quality is just as bad. 3rd BMW and last one, I can't do this to myself anymore.

Bought this car in Dec 2008 with 12,000 miles, CPO . Four times within 17 months, it was sent to the dealer for engine lights turned on. Not very reliable. Fuel pump was replaced three times within 17 months.

Fuel Injection Problems

This car was in the shop every 3 months for the 3 years that I leased the car. They cannot reliably repair the fuel injection defect. Top speed of 25 mph when the fuel injection system goes down. Very dangerous car on the highway with this chronic issue. BMW not compassionate with problems. They will repair but no responsibility. They should publicly warn about their defect in this car. They should offer incentives to turn in the car. I turned the car in 2 months early for the safety issues and they expected me to pay a fine. Will never buy BMW again.

Car is fun to drive, but unreliable at times. In my opinion, this car has a fuel management problem. Don't like the run flats, but oh well. Recommend waiting two more years until BMW works out the bugs or you'll be spending more time in the shop than expected. Have a second car available. Lease, do not buy this car so you can get a good feel for the car until you are ready to buy.

It's not overly luxurious-just right to my mind. For a modern turbocharged performance engine it's fairly simple, reliable, and the basics are tough as nails. All E90 cars handle sublimely, and the traction control can be turned off, turned on to a heavyhanded level, or left in a nice mode that allows a little hooning. I had an E90 325 6spd also, and that engine (N52) is incredibly sweet, and very reliable, so if 230-265hp is enough, get a 328,330, or 325. But if you want an even meaner sound and 300 stock hp that can be 400hp for super cheap and still reliable, get the 335. Spend a bit of money (or busted knuckles and less money), and these cars can easily be 800 hp. My complaint? The oil filter housing will usually need replacement for leaking, and ALL E90s could use a proper limited slip differential.Also the standard run flat tires have saved me, but they make the ride very stiff.
