Used 2009 BMW 3 Series for Sale near Oakland, CA

Beware: once you go BMW you'll never have the taste for anything else. The car is solid, fast, fuel efficient, looks great and very reliable. What mostly impressed me is its performance in heavy snow with all season tires. I'll never drive anything else.

Actually a 335d E92 coupe, very impressed with this car. 0-60 is around 5 seconds and the torque is the same as a 911 turbo. 35mpg from a 3 litre twin turbo diesel. It was (might still be) the fastest production diesel car available. A bit rough on the road as the runflat tyres are very thin and you can feel a lot of the uneven surfaces.

Terrific performance, lacks on suspension design, nice styling though the cabin could use a little more space, heavy on service expenses but truly compensates on fun factor. i love the gadgetry, zips hard though a diesel. The I-drive is fantastic.

So far, best car that I have ever owned.

The backseat. Small children are the only people who would be comfortable in the back. The cup holder is the middle seat, which means if you have three people in the back than you do not have a cup holder for them. Huge inconvenience.
