This Year's Model Updates:

The BMW 3 Series coupe returns for 2007 with a twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine and a sleek new body that puts more aesthetic distance between it and the sedan. Rated for 300 horsepower, that twin-turbo engine also finds its way to the 2007 BMW 3 Series sedan line, where the 330i becomes the 335i but still displaces an even 3.0 liters. Now rated for 230 hp, base 3 Series coupes, sedans and wagons are renamed 328i and, when equipped with all-wheel drive, 328xi. Note that the coupe and wagon can be had in both rear-drive and AWD configurations this year. Equipment changes include a lengthened four-year subscription to BMW Assist telematics on cars with the Premium Package and real-time traffic updates on models with the navigation system. Midway through the model year, BMW introduces a redesigned 3 Series convertible with a retractable hardtop, and an all-wheel-drive 335xi sedan.

Pros:
  • Still the standard when it comes to perfectly sorted vehicle dynamics, potent and sophisticated engines, high-quality interior materials, wide range of configurations to suit any taste, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Costs more than most competitors, not much interior storage space.

  • Worth it! - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Its a great car, very practical fun to drive and solid as hell. I used to drive a 97 Camry so its kind of an upgrade even though that was a great car. Love finding excuses to be able to drive the 3 series its got that sportiness and comfort that i was looking for. The only thing that scared me about it was a month after i bought it the car just stopped locking and unlocking even from the inside of the car you couldnt get it to open.Hopefully its not a sign of things to come.

  • Loving it on 2nd Day - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Just picked up my 2007 CPO. Love it so far. Was a toss up between the 335 and the 328. The 328 has MORE than enough power and is naturally aspirated = will last longer, so I went with it. Opted for the base model (leatherette, non-sports seats, normal radio, 16-inch wheels) and as a car nut, I gotta say I love it, even without the bells and whistles. Manual transmission is silky smooth, and the car feels like its on rails. The car just feels well put together and tight, at least compared to my 9-5 Aero which was creaky and loose. Cant beat the BMW CPO program either. Bought the maintenance pkg for $1500, wont sink a dime into this car for the next 5 years.

  • Good Car but Beware of Software Updates! - 2007 BMW 3-Series

    Generally, the 335i is a great car. The coupe is one of the best looking cars on the road today. The vehicle is balanced, powerful and a joy to drive. A 6SP manual transmission will connect you to the road and provide nearly 30 mpg on the freeway.

  • Nightmare - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Since I purchased this car as certified pre-owned it has been back to the dealer for repairs 1/3 of the time. After multiple complaints to BMW-USA the dealer finally contacted me. Before that the dealer ignored me. I am still using a loaner car and the computer module must be replaced.

  • Fun to Drive, but quality problems - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The second day I picked up my car it let me sit because of a sensor that shut the engine off. The door locks failed twice (BMW now has a fix for the problem). The fuel pump went at 35,000 miles. The sun roof was stuck open twice and they had to download new software to fix it. All this said, this is my third BMW and by far, the most fun to drive.

  • Worst car in my life - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Just happy to turn in this rubbish as my lease has expired. Terrible ridding, thanks to run flat tires, transmission is jerking, brakes are sticky, real fuel consumption: 16 mpg city, 24 mpg hwy. Im just 5 tall, but is is very uncomfortable to get in and out of the car, leatherette seats very poor quality. Cant compare this car to my previous 325 model.

  • Becoming harder to love - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Fully loaded, w/manual trans. Very fun to drive, nice features, looks great. My main complaint I have is about the tires. Had to replace all 4 tires within a year because of bubbles on the sidewall. At $400+ a pop, this is very expensive. Plus, the summer run flat tires are no good in the winter (they dont make all season run flats yet as I soon learned). Also had a couple of cracked rims, which was easily fixed, but still very annoying. I swapped for regular all season tires and bought a spare tire kit. The car handles so much better and is even smoother. However, wasnt able to avoid another cracked rim :/ if you dont live in a town with well paved roads, beware of this vehicle!

  • Fun to Drive - 2007 BMW 3-Series

    Traded in my 2007 Volkswagen Passat for the 2007 335i sedan and havent looked back! Powerful acceleration is exhilarating. Handles like a dream. Great looking car. Understated but luxurious interior. iDrive is fine once you get used to it. Decent sound system with the Logic7. Only time will tell on long term reliability, but after 3 months, no issues. When driven civilly, good gas mileage. Be careful because its easy to get a speeding ticket.

  • Fourth BMW & Better than ever - 2007 BMW 3-Series

    Bought as CPO have driven 5,000 mi with no problems. Great car in all aspects except run flats.

  • Love my 335i - 2007 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    I have owned 5 3 series of the previous generations which were all great cars, but the 335i is by far the most fantastic example of German engineering to date. The care is a rocket and handles anything you through at it. I abused it for two years before selling it and only had one issues which is known fuel pump issue. I have owned both Audi and Mercedes competitors at times and each of them have feel short of of BMWs product.
