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.

Just picked up a new 2011 automatic Space Grey auto with premium sound, premium package. First the negatives. BMW removed the ashtray and the accompanying charger/socket and replaced it with an open cavity. Not sure if I liked that idea as now all the junk/coins etc are visible. The car looks and feels oozing with performance and luxury.

The non-turbo in-line 6 is a great engine. Minimal issues with repairs. If you are handy with tools maintenance is significantly cheaper. Car has exceeded expectations. I only wish it had better bluetooth integration. Great car. Very reliable and cost of repairs has been minimal over 80,000 miles I have driven in this 328i.
