After selling my 2005 M3 Convertible, I didn't think I would own another BMW that was as fun to drive, and to blow rice rockets off the line. Not to mention the fantastic sport seats, and unbeatable MPG (I average 39 on the highway). Not to mention a wide array of great technology, MOG, Pandora, and now Yelp. its pretty damn cool. Tasman Green, Oyster Leather.... Love it.

It is my first BMW and I'm planning to keep. Driving is a lot of fun, mileage is about 25 MPG (LA 50/50 street/freeway driving). The only complain that I have is radio, it's awful. Most of the time I get a very bad reception. Sometimes even my CD player would get some interference. Other than that, it is a great car.

I’ve owned this 2011 335d for 13 years, bought it used with 28k miles. Now have 260k miles and going strong. It can be extremely reliable if you do a dpf delete, if you’re not willing to do that then probably shouldn’t buy it. But since I’ve done the dpf delete it hasn’t given me any problems. I have a Lexus also and that is my problem vehicle not the BMW. I did dpf, egr, and swirl flap delete. I get well over 40mpg on highway now and before all that I was around 32mpg highway. Since it doesn’t recirculate the exhaust it runs amazing. It’s been more powerful since dpf delete and hasn’t lost the power. Even drive it through Chicago winters.

Bought this as a certified used car, it had come off of a lease. Also bought five year/100k warranty. This is the most comfortable fun car to drive that I have owned. The torque is amazing! For the first five years all was great because the dealer paid for all repairs, however, you have to be comfortable always taking your car in to be serviced. Dealer replaced DEF tank, did carbon cleaning and replaced 2 or three injectors. I ran out of years instead of miles, five years 90K started having problems took it in again, carbon cleaning, replace ALL injector cost me close to $10,000 - more than the car is worth. 20,000 mile later looks like I need injectors again - this car is the worse money pit ever. Think I will get it running again and get rid of it, even if I take a loss.
