Not my color, but...
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.

2011 BMW 323i - maintenance costs!
Lovely car, smooth ride, all the bells and whistles until they break. You had better have deep pockets when it comes to maintaining this car. With premium gas, synthetic oil, and performance parts at a premium I sank far too much into this vehicle.

Changes
This car replaces a 2008 328i. It has the same engine and BASIC design. They have added 17 inch wheels (about time) and made the lights and body a little more sporty. They have decreased the power hook ups. They removed the ash tray and cigar lighter from the dash. The only power hook up is now in the console. Bad idea. This is the days of pc's, PDAs and portable GPS. They all need power! The steering seems to be a little looser, more play in the wheel etc than my 2008 model. Not sure if this is just my imagination or not. They decreased the number of speakers. The sound is a little thinner.
After a 3year lease happy to turn it in
This car is about it's looks and the young feel, when you drive it. Beyond this I am NOT happy at all and will not buy this or any other BMW. Within only 34 month I had to replace 6 tires and repair the wheels twice. The run flat tires are a disaster, unrepairable and they destroy the wheels. Maybe good for the German Autobahn but not for everyday American streets. The navigation and entertainment system is very cumbersome an even after 3 years many functions a mystery to me. The electric works at it's own will like windows rolling up and down without your command. At lease end they will nickel an dime you to make another buck. I have decided to turn to Mercedes Benz....

2011 BMW 335d at 1000 miles
The 335d is amazing. It delivers the handling and road manners typical of the 3 series while the turbo diesel engine's incredible torque output makes the car accelerate like a 1960s Detroit muscle car. The standard seats are extremely comfortable and the interior fit and finish are perfect. Mileage is in line with what others report, upper 20s to mid 30s in town and around 40 on the highway. The OEM run-flats (Continental) are predictable and surprisingly quiet, but I would have paid extra for an alternative to RFs.
