Beauty, comfortable, quiet, smooth, FUN TO DRIVE happy to say I love this car and enjoy all aspects so far. I have driven Range Rover HSE, corvette's, 370z, Porsche. This BMW has not had one squeak, or rattle or any other issues, Rare these days for sure. I would recommend this car to anyone wanting a solid enjoyable ride. If I had to say anything of critical - Needs more power, but BMW offers a lot of other models for the power junkies LOL Enjoy...read morehide

low end pick up leaves alot to be desired(gears 1+2), good fuel economy for a sport sedan.love the xdrive and amenities(heated seats,sunroof,leather adjustable seats and shiftable transmission.BUT
whistling drivers mirror, unreliable windows do not respond as they should-sometimes they stay open and once the windows and sunroof opened on their own-unwanted features for such an expensive car and BMW ha sbeen no help infixing thise issues...read morehide

Pros

This is the most fun vehicle I have driven....and it looks awesome!

Cons

Gas mileage is not as good as I had hoped, but it is hard to drive this vehicle conservatively.

This is a "flat-out, hands down" gorgeous car! Gender does not matter in this ride. It handles great, seats are confortable, and it has all the power one could expect.

Pros

30mpg, 300hp, Great handling, Good looks, Fold down seat easily carries a bicycle in the trunk.

Cons

NAV system needs a better database for businesses.

The perfect blend of power, comfort, style, handling, technology, utility and economy. 30mpg actual on the highway with the 6spd Tiptronic, great interior with just the right amount of led lighting at night and a fold down rear seat to help carry things that would not otherwise fit in the trunk of most cars. For example, taking the front wheel off my bike I can easily slide it in the trunk and I'm off to a primo riding spot. That was a must have feature. Nice that it is standard on the coupe. Not inexpensive, but neither were any of the other cars I had considered for purchase: Audi S5, Mercedes E Coupe, BMW M3, BMW 335is. If I were interested in only paying 30k for a car, I'd be looking at a used version of this car with a CPO warranty instead of a new something else that would never be this much fun. The toughest competition for the 335i is probably the 335is. It has more power and an optional 7spd dual clutch automatic, however, it obviously requires more $ and can't match the mpg....read morehide

Pros

Cons

needs more content for the money

Purchased As New

mine has premium, satellite, ipod prep, heated seats, metallic paint, and DCT. Got a great discount but what annoys me is BMW ought to include harmon kardon radio as part of the premium package plus 19 inch wheels standard

used m3 are attractive but much more expensive $5 to $10k more

Pros

the best bmw 3 series period

I wish they put a bigger turbo

Bmw 335i Mercedes E-coupe Audi A5 hmmm which to buy?? Well, honestly every-time i see the Audi A5 drive by with its led lights on and rectangular exhausts and crazy rims, I regret buying a 335i.

Which comes to my first Con, Have a look at the 335i its beautiful compared to the E-coupe from mercedes. But compared to the Audi A5 with those LEDS and really sexy rims, the BMW looks like a freaking "toyota".

Why did I buy a BMW 335i?? Well mainly because, I had an Audi for the past 5 years and frankly, the service they provide is a piece of s%*^. Worst service ever and biggest freaking rip off prices for "labour". Compared to the BMW service, I have to say Audi fails.

Radio Antenna, now this is the most annoying thing. Got my car brand new all shiny drive out of the dealership, turn on the radio and guess what? STATIC!!! Went back to BMW and was informed it is a common problem with the 3 series coupes due to some Bull S^^@#$ they definitely made up. So expect that youre radio will playing a lot of static. Not a problem though, all you have to do is give it in for a day or 2 and they will fix it up for you. For Free may I add since it will be under warranty.

Please for the love of GOD! If you are purchasing it with navigation... please dont buy the Business Navi. Biggest mistake i made there too. I hate it.. You can change it but it will cost you more... unfortunately i am paying for this mistake lol. The problem with the business navi is (A) it's too small on map view and a lot of useless BS is on the screen while you drive, so you get a crappy view of the map. Please purchase professional it improves the look for the car's interior drastically as well.

I love that you can program your set of keys to driver 1 and driver 2. So if you are sharing the car with your wife everytime she takes her set of keys to the car , it will automatically adjust to her settings and when you go to the car with your keys it will change it back to your settings. So basically you dont have to feel uncomfortable and fiddle around with the seat and mirrors everytime someone borrows the car.

Sound system is great in the car, love the Halo BMW lights looks really sexy. The best part is when you accelerate and hear the car roar! Best sound ever! Its no lambo but its a great exhaust note!

Lots to be said but so little space lol, hope this review was useful!!...read morehide

Pros

The unique style of the new BMW 3 series coupe

Cons

the pricing and the interior options are overly priced. thats German engineering for you

Purchased As New

this car is overall amazing but the value? you could be getting an Audi A4 or a lexus is250 for less amount and the same performance and stunning extieror design for it. but hey? its a BMW, what is there not to like?

Pros

Eco friendly sports sedan with immense torque and superb handling

Cons

none

Purchased As New

I purchased the 335d few months ago and completey love the handling, agility and cornering. Excellent accelaration for a diesel engine, the new iDrive is great with the hard drive navigation system. It will go from 60mph to 100mph in a hearbeat without shifting to lower gear because of the tremendous torque. With only 4k miles I get about 32 mpg, expect the mileage to improve after 10k miles.
I test drove the Audi A6 and the newly design 535, the 335d beat the driving experience hands down.

It is fun, fast and furious....read morehide

We have a dark blue 335i coupe with a six speed gearbox, the transmission shifts are so smooth and my wife actually likes to drive it. It has a great acceleration and handling and a remarkably large trunk for a coupe. We are always getting compliments on the car.
