2012 BMW 3 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2012 BMW 3 Series generally love its powerful engine, sporty performance, and luxurious interior. Many appreciate the excellent handling, comfort, and overall driving experience. However, several drivers noted that space in the back is limited and would have preferred a turbo engine for even better performance."
I loved everything about this car, from the amazing interior with dazzling lights, phenomenal sound system, spot on handling and smooth ride, super comfortable seats, voice command. Not a lot of room in the back, but this really isn't a family car. Extremely responsive, sounds meaty with the top down, smooth effective brakes - although you only need the brakes to stop as it can handle any cornering situation. I will literally cry when it is gone... Most amazing car I have ever owned - bar none. It is the ultimate driving machine.
September 17, 2014A sleeping gaint.....a value not yet realized.....in the 328i hardtop convertable. This BMW with the stright 6 engine is a fully loaded high quality sports car that has not been reconized by many young at heart drivers. At 79 years young and of modest means I have been able to buy and enjoy a $60,000 sports car at a third of its original price. All of the feel good about driving comes with this quick elegant looking head turner. Find a good one and enjoy!

July 1, 2024I like the look of the car, interior and exterior are top notch. The NA engine is super smooth. Transmission awesome in DS but a little jerky in D. Only regret is i didn't add sport seats, it will be on the must have list of my next 3.
February 14, 2013Beautiful car just wished it had a turbo engine
June 20, 2024Ive had 3 of these in a convertible. In 2007 didnt have the big oil cooler. They corrected that and the best years were 2011,2012, 2013. The 335is is the fastest but the 335i aint no slouch. Love it.
March 6, 2024The 3 Series BMW has been build with a great power engine, yet has a great gas efficiency. All the features you need in a mid size sedan and price is very reasonable if you can find one. Hard to find a clean one!
