Pros

Good fuel economy, Great exterior look

Cons

Bad interior features and dashboard design

Purchased As Not Purchased

I had love BMW but it's interior is not good at all as compared to similar models...Lexus IS or Infinity G35.

Purchased the Toyota Avalon instead with good features and dashboard and interior design and comfort.

Pros

The Torque is incredible!

Cons

I don't hear the turbos whistle as I step on it

Purchased As New

As soon as I stepped on the gas (or diesel pedal in this case...haha) I knew I had to buy this car! I haven't experienced such power and smooth acceleration. I am suprised so few people are educated about Diesel powered cars...the efficiency, durability and power a diesel motor produces, blows away gasoline motors. The ride is super comfortable and handles no like any other car I have ever driven. Overall a top notch car and you won't regret you bought it....read morehide

Pros

Excellent power, good fuel economy, high-level technical options

Cons

price

Purchased As New

I took delivery of my 335d the end of May. I have about 1,000 miles in the last month of travel. In town mileage is about 28-30 mpg and on the inter-state about 32-34 mpg. The ride is quiet, the handling is excellent particularly in demanding weather conditions. The navigation, radio, and CD/DVD integration are easy to use and do not require much loss of visual contact with the frontal views. The acceleration particularly above 30 mph is astounding and I have raised the audible speed limit to 105 mph; at 85 mph it was annoying....read morehide

Pros

on my first tank of fuel i got over 36mpg on the freeway

Cons

none

Purchased As New

i love the way the car handles and accellerates. I got the sport and premium packages. the hd radio is a nice feature, it has a built in hard drive so you can store alot of your own personal cd's. I'm not sure what to expect with the run flats but that will be the only thing besides fuel I'll have to pay for in the next four years...read morehide

I test drove the 335d and wasn't disappointed in the drive. The car is a rocket. handles well without sports package but seats are terrible. After 7 miles my lower back was hurting. definitely need the upgraded seats. Visibility was good. I drive close to 100 miles a day so I look for driving comfort. the arm rest is just right and you can rest your left arm comfortably on door rest. Car is quiet. I have 2 other diesels(a vw and GMC) and no comparison. All you hear is the radio. No diesel smell. really fun to drive. I'm just looking for BMW to lower the price because I think they way over priced this car. It's 5-6K base over the 335i and that's wrong since these diesels are not new for them. Europe is all diesel. So this big thing about going green is a gimmick. I'm a little concerned on the only offer for tires is the run flat. I had them on a Pontiac and they only lasted 25K and that was driving a minivan!!! they could be a pricey item if they only go 20K....read morehide
