"I have owned 4 BMW's, 3 Benz's, 3 Rover's, 2 Lexus, a HUMMER and an Escalade. This 335i convertible was the worst vehicle purchase I have ever made. The car was in the shop more than the road. I was in a BMW loaner car more than my own car. The cars turbo, turbo intake, exhaust system and anything to do with the car?s engine went out on a monthly basis. The service department at Chapman BMW in Phoenix was the worst to deal with and stated I would have to contact BMW North America to make a ?formal complaint?. They offered to repair the vehicle; while under warrant and assisted well. But other than so called ?fixing? the car, they would not find a resolution, they would just brush me off including all management! I finally called BMW of Riverside where I purchased the vehicle brand new. No help at all, just the same story as all the others, to call BMW North America. I called BMW North America and the first lady on the phone was arrogant and did not help at all. Finally channeled through three other rude people and I had to leave a message for the Customer Service Director. It took him 3 days to call me back. It took two weeks for them to finally decide the car was a ?lemon?. Keep in mind, this was after the car was in the shop the first month of purchase and had two years of service records before this decision was FINALLY made. The car was returned to BMW and I received an offer that was a joke! The deal to compensate me for the horrible experience I received and all the issues I countered? I offered them a counter offer [with my attorney] and they accepted. It was the worst, cumbersome experience I have ever encountered. I have to say BMW has LOST its touch with customer service and helping to find a resolution. My family, who at the time mostly all drove BMW?s has now changed their mind; after I shared this ridiculous experience. I tell everyone! I have found others out there with this same experience with their BMW?s. BMW needs to address the issues with all engines with a turbo. All the 135?s, 335?s, 535?s and any other BMW with a turbo engine. Just Google it and read the blogs for your-self. All in all? buyer beware!"

"I've owned the 335d for three years now, 42,000 trouble free miles later and still a blast to drive! I get about 35 mpg's, and the car has proved to be very dependable. The only disappointment is that BMW stopped importing it after 2012, but no biggie plan on keeping this one for a number of more years."

"Finding a car on the net has been fun and effective for me. I wanted a 4dr, AWD, sporty MANUAL. That basically meant Audi S4 or BMW 335iX. I put in the filters, and my search was successful in 2 weeks. Shipped car in from Tuscon, no problems. This car is even faster than I expected, and is in mint condition, as it was promised. BMW 335 is much lighter on its feet than the Audi S4, not as luxurious. Gas mil. is amazing; 27 at 75mph."

"Performance is awesome, good looks and refinement. Everything you would expect from "the ultimate driving machine". Only wish there was a way to turn off the AWD system to wag the tail when I want, (are you listening BMW?) like my M3."

"The BMW 335d is an underrated and incredible car. It has a diesel engine with almost 300bhp, which shifts the car along at a pace that is unbelievably close to an M3. At cruising speed, the 335d offers the sort of gas mileage you would expect to find in a tiny compact. Combine that with bulletproof reliablity and overall build quality, impressive residuals, loads of standard equipment and great looks, and you are left with a sports car like no other. Don't be put off by it because of poor American diesel engines, this engine produces more torque than an M3, and makes it the best car BMW make by far."

"Very nice vehicle. White with M package. Car is very quick, gets around 22mpg all around. Truly, a driver's car. More expensive than just about anything else in its class when you add all the bells and whistles but you do get "free" service. Negatives? Kind of minor: Back seat is tight. Interior is cramped. IPod will not charge with integrated system nor can you download onto car's computer. Nav system a bit freaky, not always accurate. Radio controls way too complicated. Truly, one of the most fun cars I have ever owned. Just a blast to drive."

"My 335 cost $56k and have owned it for 8 months now. To put it simply, It leaves much to be desired! Sure it handles well and the engine is reasonably powerful, but there are some things that I can't believe! First, BMW's come with leather as an option! I assumed that a car costing over 50k should have it standard but my 335 didn't. It has leatherette seats which I found out is nothing more than vinyl!!! I was so disappointed. In addition, I'm constantly having to go to the dealer to fix a chronically failing Oxygen sensor! Whoever calls this a "Refined Automobile" must be out of their minds. Also, the care-free maintenance package is built into the price of the car which would explain why BMW's are so expensive to begin with. They're in the shop more than they are on the road! I'll say it again BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!"

"Diesel is great with plenty of power, though I sometimes feel a lag in the tranny. GPS is for the birds. Seats adjust manually or by key only, no auto moving back when the motor is turned off. Air is auto but when getting in a 100 degree car you must hit the max button else you only get one bar setting, unless you manually hit the fan button. The HD radio is not as good as other cars, I wonder what the regular radio sounds like? Maintenance once a year is great. The braking system is exceptional."

"This car has exceeded my expectations. I bought it without having driven an example. I owned the 335i model prior to placing an order for the 335d. The diesel is every bit as quick as its gasoline counterpart. Due to it's massive torque, however, it seems to be very relaxed, even when you are really hustling. It is unbelievably composed on the interstate, easily leaping from 80 to 100 miles an hour or more. Driven more sedately it will return well over 40 miles to the gallon on the highway and even at a steady 90 miles an hour will return an honest 31 miles per gallon. For a car with this performance this is absolutely phenomenal economy. Compared to cars in its size range, it truly does have four-cylinder fuel economy and V-8 performance. It does cost a substantial amount of money to purchase, although the $4500 eco-credit does ease the sting a little. My example, nearly fully loaded except for active cruise control and one or two other features that I did not feel that I would need came to more than $58,000. This is a chunk of change for a car that is not much bigger than a Honda Civic. On the other hand it is safe, blindingly quick, economical, and attractive. The stereo, which I paid a substantial amount extra for is fantastic and the I drive system has proved to be easy-to-use and helpful. If you are considering a car in this general segment I would highly recommend that you drive this vehicle before making a final decision. It has a stunning combination of attributes and very little if any downsides. I trust that BMW keeps bringing over engines like these."
