Best car I've ever owned

Super fast. Very comfortable interior. Simply a pleasure to drive. A couple of annoying caveats about the interior design, specifically the door lock switch being in the center of the dashboard, and the window seals around the driver side and passenger side front windows can leak a little air at high speeds. Those are superficial.

Superman blue with red interior.

What’s not to like, super rare 2014 with Superman looks and manual trans. Not sure how you guys found this one , but it’s a 19K mile gem! My nephew loves his new ride!

BMW, not the drivers car it was

Bought this car because I've always owned and liked BMWs. To me they have always been reliable, quality vehicles. This one was not owing to a fuel pump failure at 24,000 miles and the inability of the tow truck driver to get it into neutral. Being an AWD, he was not able to drag the car on to the truck. After experiencing this, I began to notice several other areas where BMW has either gone too far with the design or where it's just cheap. Like cheap plastic oil pans and transmission that wont go into neutral unless the engine is running. Who designs a car like that? I freely admit, I bought into the brand. I since have sold this vehicle and bought a low mileage 12 year old bmw which is manual, easier to maintain myself and one which contains much more metal and less plastic!

Exiting car to drive

This is one of the most fun car to drive as a daily driver. The fact that it produces maximum torque at 1400 RPM makes it a very exciting experience. 1 thing I didn't like about the steering on this car felt light and a bit numb at times.

Thanks to Alex from Unique Auto Mall...

Wasn't my first choice, was actually in the market for my favorite car which is B8.5 Audi S4. Was unable to find one in decent condition with low miles in this similar price range. Came across this and was able to make the numbers work, and boom...now she's mine. Only thing missing that i wanted was the red interior and the track handling package. Other than that everything is perfect...

Exceeds Expectations

Fun to drive. Definite luxury. Very fast and responsive. Solid ride. Definitely get the M Sport package for a more comfortable seating, better road handling-tires and suspension.

Amazing

This car is so much fun. The pure balance and power the car has to offer for the money. As a person living in New York, it’s the best thing close to an M car and have awd for the snow. It’s so much fun and so powerful and has a beautiful sounding straight six twinscroll turbo. The B58 engine is a powerful engine. Bmw says 320 hp but it is definitely underrated for power because you feel how fast it is and how fast it reaches 60.

3 series delivers

I traded a 535i and the 340 isn’t a downgrade in quality. Actually, it is smaller, sportier, handles and performs better which are the things I was seeking.
