In 2017, I owned 2 Bimmers: a 2007 Z4M and a 2007 335i sedan. Health issues caused me to consider how difficult it would be for my wife to unload these cars, especially the “M”. I decided to look for a compromise car, a drop top with the N54 engine and some extra sporty character, but not another M. What I found was a 2011 335is. This car has 320bhp and bursts of 370ft.lbs of torque coupled to a 7sp. double clutch automatic. The body style is retractable hardtop. Is has all the bells and whistles, including an M option package. These models were made in a 3 year window from 2011-2013 in coupe and convertible options. They are great cars for a Bimmer fan who wants some scarcity and performance at a reasonable cost.

If you enjoy long road trips and driving on twisty mountain roads this is the car for you ! I now have 70000 miles on the car and I love this car more than the day I bought it. I have had one ignition coil failure since I bought the car and no other problems what so ever. Car is just as tight and precise handling as the day I bought it. I plan on driving to 100000 miles and will most likely buy another BMW. It absolutely is the ultimate driving machine! By the way I am not a BMW employee!! AS of 11/8/2018 I now have 76000 miles on the car with no issues. I love this automobile and will continue to drive it past 100000 miles. Most enjoyable car I have ever owned. As of 11/8/2019 I have issues or problems of any type with this car. I enjoy driving it as much as when I bought it. Will drive to at least 100000 on the Odometer before I trade for new BMW. Best car I ever owned.

This is my 2nd BMW since I briefly owned a 325i in 1994. I had a Infiniti EX before I got this 335i (with sport pkg). This car runs great, but not a great value compared to others. It lacks a lot of standard features that others (acura or infiniti) have. Standard stereo is a joke at $50K price. My EX Bose system was much better. Fit and finish are great. No problem at 800 miles now. Ride quality on RFT is acceptable. I like the car's steering feel, suspension, engine, transmission, and solid chasis. These are the reasons I bought BMW. The driving dynamics is class leading.
Looks and handling, beyond this, not good.

I've owned it since 2014, bought it certified with about 32,000 miles. Today it has 78,000 miles so not driven a ton in the past 7 years. Fortunately, the major repairs happened under warranty - the timing chain blew shortly after purchase, along with two sets of ignition coils - all under warranty. Since then, we moved to Nevada from NJ where it is hot and dry. The AC developed a leak but it is slow so I can manually charge it in summer. The valve cover gasket, alternator, and oil housing gasket all were replaced this year - $2,000 total at an Indy shop. The car also developed sludge in the engine, partially my fault for not changing the oil more frequently as we are now in retirement we only take short trips. So, I should have changed it on time and not miles. I have changed the oil more often than what BMW recommends. With two oil changes with 1200 miles and with STP high mileage flushes, it is now running much better but the Service Engine Light is still on. My first and last BMW. Not recommended for anyone that cannot work on repairs themselves. Also, be aware there are a ton of recalls on this car, none of mine have been completed but I plan to take it in. Hope to make it last another 12-24 months.
