Expert 2012 BMW 335 review

our expert's take


Maybe you moved out of the big city to raise your family and then you bought a minivan. Maybe you eat more macaroni and cheese than you’d like and listen to more kid-inspired music than you once did. Maybe you feel like you’ve sold out, just a little bit.

There’s still hope for you; the 2012 BMW 3 Series is the car to help you break out of the vehicular lifestyle that’s been compromised by a growing family.

For 2012, the 335i sedan has been redesigned and it’s hard to find fault with it. It looks modern and athletic, and it drives the same way. I was so pleased to have an available six-speed manual transmission in my test car that I couldn’t have smiled any more during my test drive. The five-seater demands some sacrifices in the comfort department, though.

This car will make you feel like a speed demon with its turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine. What’s really cool is my test car came with Efficient Dynamics, which means the engine shuts off at lights when the system is engaged. This saves gas and helps with emissions. But don’t confuse Efficient Dynamics with the Driving Dynamics system, wherein I could change the 335i’s driving characteristics. I could change from Eco Pro to Comfort to Sport to Sport+, which really means I could start off soft(ish) and move to more aggressive gearing and suspension settings.

The 2012 335i sedan has a starting price of $43,295, including an $895 destination charge. My test car cost $54,070.

EXTERIOR
The 2012 BMW 335i is sporty and clearly designed for someone who likes to drive and maybe show off a bit, but it doesn’t look too hoity-toity. Frankly, I felt like a bad-ass; how often does that happen unless I’m taking a kick-boxing class or giving the bully kid down the street a talking-to?

The sedan’s exterior looks sleek and slippery. The headlights are menacing with the LEDs glaring at fellow motorists. The rear end is refined and sinewy as well, with tapered taillights. The dual exhaust looks tough, and the chrome adds a bit of shine to the athletic look. Again, the 335i is not frou-frou, but lean and mean.

Visibility out the rear window when the center head restraint is in place is hampered. To help with visibility issues, my test car came with a backup camera and side- and top-view cameras, which give a bird’s-eye view of the car and its surroundings. It’s cool, but they’re part of a $1,550 Parking Package.

My kids, ages 10 and 8, got in and out of the car easily, but small ones will want some help closing the doors. The trunk can hold a week’s worth of groceries or a compact stroller, but it’ll probably be taxed by a trip to a warehouse store.

The 300-horsepower, turbo 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder means that you go quickly whenever you choose. When paired with the standard eight-speed automatic transmission, the 335i sedan gets and EPA-estimated 23/33 mpg city/highway. With the available six-speed manual, it gets 20/30 mpg. This is a BMW, so it should come as no surprise that the 3 Series uses premium gas.

SENSE AND STYLE
Family Friendly (Not Really, Fair, Great, Excellent): Fair
Fun-Factor (None, Some, Good Times, Groove-On): Groove-On

INTERIOR
The 2012 335i sedan shouldn’t be confused with a luxury car. It’s luxurious in a pared-down sort of way, but it’s not cushy, chrome-y and wood accent-y. It follows the exterior’s theme in that it’s athletic and lean. Don’t expect a power lipstick applier, automatic dog groomer or any other over-the-top comfort-oriented gadgets, OK? This car is serious.

It’s so serious that it has a cupholder cover that looks like a shallow tray for a gadget. If you want to use the cupholder, you have to pry off (not very easily, I might add) the shelf to access it. When you do get the cover off, the cupholder is located precariously between the gearshift and the center stack — my least favorite locale. Fortunately, the front doors have bottleholders and all passenger doors have storage bins. Other storage is tough to come by, again refocusing you on driving the car and not much else.  

The iDrive multimedia system, which is standard on the sedan, is relatively easy to use. It has updated graphics and shortcut keys. Another fun feature is the head-up display that shows the car’s speed in a ghostlike readout on the windshield. Just when I think the car is a throwback to pure driving it gives me some futuristic features that I actually use. Well done, BMW.

In a car that mostly screams “sporty,” I loved the saddle brown, aka Venetian Beige, leather seats; the color added a bit of sophistication to the 335i’s athletic feel. Combined with the black dash and black carpet, it looked inviting. The eight-way power adjustable front seats are comfortable, though stiff and sporty. There was great legroom for all passengers, but it should be noted that only one of my kids still uses a booster seat now.

There are cupholders in the backseat that pop out of the top of the fold-down armrest. They reminded my family of a pop-up book. The rear passengers have netting on the front row’s seatbacks to stash some items, and there is also a pass-through to the trunk that my kids found entertaining. The rear seats split 40/20/40, too.

IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Storage Compartments (Puny, Fair, Ample, Galore): Fair
Cargo/Trunk Space (Puny, Fair, Ample, Galore): Fair-Ample

SAFETY
The 2012 BMW 3 Series sedan has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn this safety nod, a car must receive the top score of Good in front, side, rear and roof-strength crash tests. The 3 Series sedan also earned top safety marks from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It received an overall safety score of five stars of five. It earned five stars in side and rollover crash tests and four stars in frontal crash tests.

Because the 335i is driver-oriented, I figured its two sets of lower Latch anchors would be buried deep in the vehicle’s nether regions. But there they were in the outboard seats, so easy to access that it made my heart sing. However, those rear-facing child-safety seats will push front passenger space to its limits.

The 335i sedan has standard rear-wheel drive, antilock brakes with brake assist, an electronic stability system with traction control, active front head restraints, auto-leveling and adaptive bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights and seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag and side curtains for both rows.

Optional features include all-wheel drive, lane departure and blind spot warning systems, surround-view cameras, a backup camera, front and rear parking assist and Dynamic Cruise Control.

  • The ultimate driving M335is DINAN S2

    10 years ago I was looking to buy a 2012' M3, V8 aspirated engine. When a pro BMW sales consultant told about M335is with 3.0 L twin turbo and much lighter gvwr that I could turn into an M3 rival without the $78K price tag. Then He told about Steve Dinan the BMW pro engineer that his company builts the performance upgrade for BMW's all over the world. So I end up buying this beautiful 2012' 335is coupe and had BMW install a DINAN Stage 2 computer boost tune upgrade that produced 89 HP increase plus the 320 HP factory stock HP and then added the DINAN Diamond cut Exhaust system along with a DINAN full sport suspension. But I didn't stopped there, then I added a ECS Black steel charge pipe coupled with SYPNAPSE BOV and finally a Carbon fiber ECS cold air intake to make this car a fun little beast to drive. This car is the most fun to drive car that I have ever owned.

  • Most fun car I've ever owned.

    The BMW 335is rocks. It is the best BMW model and the best value sports car on the market for the price range. You can't get a more fun car to drive for under $20k. The 335is model is a sport model twin-turbo I-6 that competes with the M3. It's lighter than the M3 and cuts through traffic like a scalpel. It's perfect for driving freeway at high speeds and for winding roads in the Hollywood Hills. People who drive it are amazed at how quick and agile it is. Perfect sports car. The hard-top convertible keeps it quiet when you have the top up. Great car.

  • Best car I have owned EVER

    ive had everything from a 1972 Datsun 240Z to a 1988 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II to a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe... and this car is far better anything else before. its very comfortable and complaint as a 2-seater sports coupe. the rear seats, well there's more legroom there than anyother vehicle ive driven. but everything else is there. and the quality of materials, and design of the interior is great as well as the exterior design. and many does thing have some good power to it. it pulls even cruising at freeway speeds from 2500 rpm in sixth gear. this is the car i never knew i wanted. and the last car ill probably ever own. its BMW or nothing else for me.

  • An amazing balance of performace and dependability

    This car has been a dependable commuter - comfortable and calm on the highway. Then you step on the gas and it becomes a serious sports sedan - fun and exciting to drive. Nothing outside of Porsche combines these personalities so seamlessly.

  • 2012 Bmw 335i Xdrive - reliability and power

    I've owned a 2007 Bmw 335i 6 speed in the past. Buying it used with 108k on it without knowing the full car history was my first mistake. Absolutely insanely powerful car, gorgeous interior and exterior design. But the reliability of my first BMW was god awful. I honestly have never owned such a lemon. I found out the n54, e92's were pretty hit and miss. So I was skeptical to purchase another 335i. I did some homework, read some reviews, and figured I'd bite the bullet. The n55 platform is definitely a good revision over the past n54 335i's. The n55 while not as easy to mod or break 500hp with through modding, does offer an insanely crisp and powerful 300hp stock. The Automatic transmission is very smooth, and the shifting through the m/s mode, feels very responsive and smooth. Overall, the n55 doesn't dissappoint, and feels like a really solid car. The slight facelift the e92 LCI received is subtle, but does stand out for those with an eye for the changes. The n55 is said to be a decent bit more reliable than its predecessor. I'm hoping this is the case, so far 35k on the engine of my 2012 335i xdrive, and it's running smooth as can be. So far, loving the car just like my old 335i minus the headache of repairs.

  • MOST FUN CAR I HAVE OWNED

    Truly a spectacular drive in a unique car. Performance, handling, and sound are what real car people want from a two door convertible. Best car I have owned.

  • The performance and handling never grows old

    It meets my needs, but eyeing bigger car for extra family member. BMW is always at the edge of technology, their handling, efficiency and performance are a priceless combination.

  • Handles like a sports car and fun to drive

    I was surprised with the BMW coupe. I own a Mercedes coupe and the BMW. The BMW is much more fun to drive and handles more like a sports car than my Mercedes coupe which handles more like a luxury car.
