I hAve driven BMW$'s sinc e 1989 and the current 335Xi is the finest car I have ever driven. The turbo added to the system makes this car really fun to drive . You feel that you can haqndle almost any driving situation with ease.

BMW 335i

When BMW came up with the campaign of providing their drivers the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. They were on something. It is not until you get into one and actually drive it, you will then realized they were not kidding around. There are minor dislikes but I think those are more personal preferences so I am not going to list them.

A car for your bucket list

Bought the car used 3 months ago. Montego Blue convertible. Turns a lot of heads, and incredibly fast. 80 mph in a deep breath. 100 mph by the time you look back at the road. Careful with this one. Handling is a blast. Take the car out at lunch, and go find some empty curves, highway ramps, or cloverleafs. acceleration in curves is awesome. Highway MPG is 30 at 74 MPH. I did have a problem with the problematic fuel pump, however; I noticed the early symptoms (longish start times) and got it in before it failed. BMW has doubled the warranty on this. The bottom seat cushion bolsters are a little hard, but did I mention that this car is a head turner? Everyone should get to experience a car like this, at least once in their life.

My Last BMW

I leased my 335IX almost three years ago after owning BMWs for 25 years. My experience with this car has led me to conclude that it is the worst automotive and financial decision of my life. The car looks great and is fun to drive. The interior is comfortable and it has all of the bells and whistles. However, the low profile wheels on the sport package are a disaster for rough roads like the ones that we have in the NY tri-state area. I've gone thru 5 wheel rims (at $600/ea) and several high performance tires (at $250/ea; internet price). The $700 wheel rim insurance that I bought only paid for 2 new rims as the policy requires that the rims be damaged to the point of not being able to drive the car before the insurer will pay. The car only takes super premium, detergent gasoline. I have experienced a number of small problems that are very expensive to fix as the car is now beyond its 50,000 mile warranty. The car would be great if I lived in southern California or Florida where the road conditions are a bit more benign. The very high cost of acquisition (or lease) and maintenance have convinced me that this is a poor value for the money in comparison with several of the new Japanese or Korean cars that have impressive handling characteristics and lower acquisition and ownership costs. So long BMW!

Awful......

I am surprised cars.com is not aware of the re-call on the high pressure fuel pumps on this car. I loved the car for a good 6 months, it really picked up quick, yet soon after putt-putt, game over. I had to take in in so many times, BMW bought it back. I had this go on for two years 3 months =( I think they have fixxed this on 2010 & up, so don't count them out....... I loved my BMW's in the past, yet I have now moved on to a Lexus. and OMG........ what a difference.

Sweet ride

This is my dream car! Its fully loaded and is blk on blk. Love the drive, its smooth, fast, and makes me feel like a million bucks! When you take off, you can hear the engine kicking butt and feel the rush as you pass all the cars. One of the greatest features is the iPod that connects to the navigation. It makes it a lot easier to change songs, instead of holding your iPod and risk getting a ticket. It has bucket seats, which adds to the sporty car feel. The best feature that stands out is the exterior. It looks as if it lowered and is sliding down the street. Love love this car!

Satisfied w/ 535 xi

Very nice car. I just got it 3 months ago. So far so good. It has plenty of power. The ride is stiff so you feel all the bumps and cracks of the road. I get about slightly above 20 mpg.
