2015 BMW 335i w/ M Sport package

Wow.... I have no idea what else to say! The acceleration is amazing. When driving it you feel like the vehicle fits you like a glove. You feel safe. You are one with the vehicle. I had test drove Mustangs back a couple years ago, and although they were fast as all hell they just felt like I was driving a boat. Not to mention the options weren't there. I have had this vehicle for a couple years and have still not found all the gadgets, and things that it can do. I am surprised all the time when finding something new the 335i can do. Did I mention the 335i is quick/fast? It pins you back in the seat when you step on it.

We have been BMW enthusiast since the early 70's. I also ride a '05 R1200RT 3000 mile trips tent and sleeping bag. I would agree with the negative changes in the newer cars. The loss of steering and brake input. I have had many 2002's -'68, '72, '73, E28 535i, '96 328iC, '02 325i all fun to drive. But the driver experience of our pervious BMW's is much greater than our new 2016 328i M sport. Even the Sport+ mode the road input is lacking. The newer BMW 3 series have become IMHO homogenized : (. Its been a year milage is 13,225. Still stand by my above comment. One trouble some thing. The internal exhaust tip is coated with a heavy carbon build up (soot). We have a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 RV. The internal exhaust tip is super clean and its a diesel!! The black carbon on our BMW is unburnt fuel, as I understand. Why else for the carbon build up. Dealer says its the norm!

My lil wagon is over 100k miles and still running like a champ. I love the fact it’s a diesel. I’m starting to run into some bigger ticket maintenance issues, but that’s to be expected at that kind of of mileage. I plan on hanging onto this car as long as possible :)

Fun to drive, 40 MPG!

Bought this car CPO in 2018 with 30,000 miles. For having a 4-Cylinder, the car has a lot of pickup, is high-revving, and overall fun to drive. Fuel economy highway is 35-40 mpg. Usually in the city it gets into the 20's range. My car is the Sport package which means it has 18" wheels and M Sport steering wheel, which I would definitely recommend. The upgraded screen is needed in my opinion as well. That being said, the car is very comfortable for a small sports sedan. iDrive is user friendly, and I love it. Back seat and trunk are fairly roomy. Reliability wise, the car has done 10,000 miles with the only issue being a blown fuel injector (Don't use 87 Fuel). The battery also loses charge when it is cold out, such as 10 to -45 degrees Fahrenheit. Overall this car is really a great bargain, if you are on the fence about purchasing one, get a PPI and make sure it is good, and make the right decision!

Absolutely love driving this car. Hugs the road and has adequate power and acceleration for me. Shocking to find that I can cruise along at 70 mph and get 41 mpg...only one major issue. I can only get one cart size golf bag in trunk. Even then the driver must be removed from the bag and carefully fit in cross wise before I can close the trunk. When I pick up a friend his clubs have to go in back seat. Some of the controls and safety features are a little quirky, ie, double pulls for the doors, trunk. The radio controls take a little time to learn but now seem easy enough. Overall, happy with this little BMW as for the money it’s great. Been trouble free as well with no mechanical issues or problems. It might ride a little better if I replaced the run flats, but I’m ok with them so I will keep. 2015 model year Update: Had a bad o2 sensor with check engine light but covered by warranty at 34,000 miles. Otherwise been trouble free. Honestly, I have found some features very annoying. For example, the double pull door handles. I have had a couple of passengers almost pull the handle off trying to get the door open. Also, no option to have all doors unlock when driver door unlocks. The radio is aggravating to use as it is not user friendly for tuning or changing stations. Unlike some, I have not found the auto off for the engine problematic. I also don’t like having the door unlock button in the middle of the dash board. It is, however, a hoot to drive. Feels light and nimble. A fun car to drive with adequate power.
