2009 BMW 3 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs

the performance of the 335i coupe is amazing o to 60 miles an hour in 5.2 secounds with a twin turbo 6 lovely build quality interior is stunning and it deffianatly is not short of gadgets and gizmo's brilliant user friendly car

The Bmw 335i E90 is my dream car. The features on it is absolutely gorgeous and I think the car is a great value. The car isn’t missing anything and I wouldn’t compare this model to anything.

Overall the X drive is a great car for daily driving and all around fun. Smallish back seat is expected in a 3 series, however, most understand the size and if back seat room is essential then consider a 5 Series. AWD is great in all conditions. Lack of cupholders in console is disappointing.

A great car to drive. 6 speed manual transmission, Sports package, navigation, AWD.... TwinTurbo!!! Need I say more. Never really liked BMW's before the 335 came out, then I drove one and was amazed by the engineering and craftmanship that was put into this vehicle. Compare it to a 328 and you might as well take a nap..... zzzzzzzzz

Excellent car, dulled by awful run flat tires. Flawless reliability, excellent seats (with Sport Package) and great service here in Toronto. Worrisome is premature wear of the leather on the driver's seat. Please BMW, ditch the run flats. They deteriorate the comfort and wear unevenly, no matter how many alignments you give the car. Handling is great, acceleration is fine and brakes are terrific. Cost of ownership is suprisingly low, as maintenance is included and fuel consumption is moderate. Lots of fun to drive...skip the automatic and get the manula, it gives the car much more personality.

accelerates quick and got a soft braking system,handling is wonderful,design and quality is the best but inside is looking a little bit cheap but at the end its a fun car to drive.a real BMW taste of driving

I loved the attention i get when i drive the car. I loved feeling luxurious with the interior and smooth engine response. I love the way the car moves exactly the way you want it to with very impressive throttle response and excellent handling. The car is very fun to drive and the brakes is the impeccable. The car feels very safe.

Good car, power to economy is good, handling excellent unless it's rained or snowed. Performance is great when you need it. Build quality and Appearance is also good. Cost of ownership is expensive, however the fun factor makes up for it

The car is freaking awesome and 34 MPG, best built car in the world. The 3 series is German engineering at it's finest. No wonder Car and Driver has had it on the top 10 list for 19 years in a row

Great handling with plenty of power, concerned about cost of ownership

Great car. Get the Dinan upgrade!! Faster than M3 I was so impressed by my buddies car. I bought one. The Dinan adds approx 60 more HP. Highly recommend this car. You should try one. You will most likely buy it.

I actually own a 335d, but this doesn't even have that as an option! The difference you ask? Well, the 335i has 300 hp and 300 ft. lbs. of torque... the DIESEL has 265 hp and 425 ft. lbs. of torque! Oh yeah and did I mention that I get over 28 MPG with mostly CITY driving. This is the best car I have ever had and I haven't even mentioned my options (I don't need to, it's loaded!)!!!

Best in class vehicle. Agile and tight steering for a 6 cylinder convertible. The hard top convertible also better than soft top shielding the passenger compartment and reduce outside noise. When we’ll kept the odometer reading is irrelevant.

Great ride and handling and timeless design. The e9x series of BMW is the last generation with naturally aspirated inline six that sounds and revs smooth. Cons are: high maintenance, specifically with all the oil leaks Poor interior quality, plastic parts fade, scratch, chip etc

Great car. Fun to drive. Excellent handling in wet,dry, snow. comfortable seats. Motor is smooth and powerful. Car responds quickly to all controls: gas, brake, steering. Styling is great. Maintenance is relatively expensive but you pay for what you get.

really nice fuel economy average speed of 78km/h 5.0 L diesel mainly driving 100-140km/h on highway and a litlle within city borders. in 4th. gear at 75 km/h fuel is aprox. 3.8 L/100km handling is great some depends ofcourse on tire choice. its. great fun fore being a practical car. if it wasent fore the fuel economy i would have bought a subaru legacy

This is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. As for BMW, the service is great and you can't beat the price when you have a service contract! I really enjoy the hands-free ability of using my cell phone. The stereo system sounds great and the ability to play my podcast is really awesome.

My BMW 3 28xi is a pefect commuting car, with amazing handling and braking only problem is is that it is not that fast, although it is a 2.8. I have fitted new m3 alloys to my car, meaning it looks that little bit more sporty. It is cheap to run and tax

I love everything about this car! From the fact that it can change from a normal hardtop coupe to a convertible with the press of a button to the fact that it speeds like a prancing horse the second you step on the accelerator, everything about it screams beauty in motion.

The car seems fine, and I’m sure it has all of the issues that it is notorious for - motor mounts, VANOS, rod bearings, etc. but I do not believe that this particular vehicle is any more of a headache than most cars on the road. I drove a Dodge, and a Chevy, before driving this car (not my first bimmer btw) and they are NOT problem-free vehicles either. Granted, I had a Challenger, and two Silverado’s). With proper maintenance and without driving this thing like a pissed off teenager (which is tough with a manual transmission) it should last a long, long time. That being said, this vehicle has several quirks. Firstly, the blower motor assembly will intermittently squeak, which sounds like crickets in your dash. This is an easy fix but annoying. Secondly, the auxiliary input is a 3.5mm stereo jack, meaning that it has two rings for connectivity and looks like a headphone Jack. So far, I cannot seem to put the audio into mono so there is garbled noise when playing back things like podcasts, YouTube videos, and more. Music is unaffected and sounds fine, however. I believe this is because the music is mixed in stereo. Thirdly, this car features arms for each seatbelt that elongate upon entering the vehicle. These arms almost hand you the seatbelt, and although it is a neat little piece of attempted gadgetry, it fails to grab the seat belt much of the time, looks and feels cheap, and is certainly something that will break and/or require maintenance at some point in the life of the vehicle. 4. Hydraulic lifter tick. Just Google this - it is something to be aware of when purchasing the vehicle. 5. There can be issues with the windshield washer reservoir and the line itself. Despite all of this malarkey, I still love the car. In my opinion that says it all.

I’m very pleased with my bmw it drives perfect and very comfortable seating and stylish handles great wish it came with a back up camera and wish it came with bigger size rims but other than that the car is great

This car is incredibly fun to drive, especially around curves and has lots of get up and go. Unfortunately, it has been in the shop....a lot. I worked very hard to get this car and I do tend to baby it. If something feels or sound off, I take it to my BMW dealer. Although I have taken it in for issues as minor as the electric drivers seat not working properly or a strange sound coming from muffler, I have also had it in the shop for several episodes of leaking engine seals, replacing the engine, and a full power steering overhaul. Had I not bought the extended warranty, this would have been extremely expensive! It must also be said that after finding evidence the dealers body shop cutting corners, I have changed to a different dealership and have had no further issues, although it has only been a month. My 100,000 mile extended warranty expires in March and I will be trading in this car for one with lower miles that is still under warranty. A friend of mine has the same model and year as I do and has had no problems. I love the way this car drives so much that I am seriously considering letting BMW have a chance to redeem themselves.

Loved the styling and hope to own one soon as it is a pleasure to drive

Great car, very fast and sporty would recommend to hit the road. Mix of sport and luxury.

The car stopped working after 5 days there is a boost leak and the car wont move

Dirty interior, appolstery on drivers seat has come loose from the back, and does not have the required run flat tires. On the plus side it runs and drives very well. The body and paint are in very good condition.

We traded our 2011 BMW Z4 for this 2013 328I hard-top convertible. we really enjoy having a bit more space for small luggage. Now we can go on weekend trips! The Z4 handled a little bit better, but the 328 is a crossover that gives us a nice sedan for work, or in bad weather.

Nice car that I bought while shopping for a 135. Decided that the 335 was much nicer looking with a bigger trunk and better options. Engine is awsome, with power across the board. 6spd auto could be a little sharper. Feels a little heavy when you try to toss it around too much
