2009 BMW 3 Series Convertible User Reviews

Pros

Driving pleasure, style, very controlled yet comfortable

Cons

pack carefully if you plan on top down cruising for long trips

Purchased As New

After 33k miles, I enjoy the car every single time I get into it - drives beautifully, very comfortable for two, looks good top up or down. The sport seats really change the feel of the car, for the better ( I had a loaner without, and boy what a difference), especially if you have long legs. The sport seats also allowed us to drive back-to-back 17+hours a day in comfort. The only unscheduled service was to get a tire pressure sensor reset during an extreme cold snap - zero problems otherwise. Just changing out the original Bridgestone tires, wore out the rear before the front. With the 6-speed manual, not great quickness from stop, but the engine brings up power quickly, and pulls forever after that - easy and secure to keep speed through corners and curves; very stable at speed, very manageable wind buffeting even approaching triple digit speeds. Pricy, but there's nothing else that offers quite this package, especially with the 4-year dealer maintenance package. Managed OK even in the couple of snow accumulations we had. A car I could easily see myself in for a long long time.
