Nice car, but not perfect

I like the seats, the xdrive system, idrive, etc., though there could be more storage space in the cabin. I recently got 28mpg on a trip with three adults and bags. My speedometer however reads 4-5 mph high at 70 mph, and BMW has told me that that is well within their acceptable range. I don't think I should have to resort to using a free iPhone app or GPS device to determine how fast I'm going when I dropped 45K on a car. This situation is apparently prevalent on BMWs.

My 328 developed a gear whine at 1000 miles that is still there today at 12000 miles. BMW replaced the differential at 1500 miles, but the whine returned 500 miles later. They refused to fix the problem, so I filed a lemon law claim against BMW. I lost the case, even though the arbitration panel members all heard the noise. The panel stated that it would annoy car owners, but they claimed it did not substantially impact the use, value or safety of the car. BMW researched me on the internet before the case and their attorney was very rude. Now the speedometer is 5mph too fast, and I have to calculate my speed when driving. Can't wait to see what they say about this problem.

This red hot BMW 335i convertible is outstanding! (23 mpg if you drive it nice too!) Too many great things to say about this car and the dealership (BMW of Gwinnett, salesman is Preston). It's a classic in every sense of the word. Although red isn't my color, it looks phenomenal with the top down! I would recommend this car and dealership to everyone.

A Great Compromise

2011 BMW 3 Series 335is 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Advancing age caused me to decide to replace 2 existing Bimmers in my ownership with a single car. The one car was a Z4M with 6 sp. manual, the other was a 335i sedan used as a daily driver. I was finding entry and egress from the "M" becoming more difficult, was tiring of shifting gears myself, and frankly was getting apprehensive of driving such a small car on todays' roads full of distracted SUV drivers. Still, I wanted to retain a convertible and something sportier than a 335i sedan. The 335is fills the bill. It slots nicely between the stock 335i and the M3. The "is" sports a 320hp, twin turbo engine mated to 7 speed double clutch automatic. It sits on 19" tires and a sport suspension. They were only sold in N.A. for 3 years between 2011 and 2013 in coupe and folding hardtop models and thus have some exclusivity.

This is a fantastic car, well-priced, with amazing handling and performance as well as creature comforts and a smooth ride -the best of all worlds without sacrificing anything. The adaptive xenon headlights with coronas are second only to the new Audi headlamp arrays in beauty and first in performance. Premium package added some bells and whistles that I maybe didn't need, but are nice to have, like car theft recovery, sos button, and dakota leather seating. I do wish I had gotten the sports package as now that I have a performance car, I am tempted to bring it to the track. Warranty matching aftermarket modifications through Dinan may be the route I take.
