Overview & Reviews

Having introduced two all-new body styles last year, the 3 Series undergoes few changes for 2008. Most notable is the addition of the 335xi coupe, which adds all-wheel drive to the turbocharged 3 Series two-door. Sedans and wagons equipped with the six-speed automatic and Sport Package can now be upgraded with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The convertible carries over unchanged.

• Costs more than most competitors, not much interior storage space, navigation system brings with it exasperating iDrive, plain-Jane interior design.

  1st time BMW owner - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By 1st time BMW owner - January 25 - 1:00 pm

  I think I did more research on my new vehicle purchase than my marriage candidate. I test drove them all -- C350, IS 350, G35 etc.. It was the 335i that captured my senses. WOW! What a car! What an engine! This car is worth easily over $60k. BMW 335i is so underrated.

  When pretty is not enough. - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By Alan Patrignani - December 27 - 1:44 pm

  There is no question that this car is a show stopper and loads of fun with the top down. Based on the accolades and reviews, it is logical to assume that this car would be as great a performer as is looks. That thought process became a myth when at only 28,000 miles, and having had all the recommended service on time, my car began to stutter and would shake terribly on acceleration. After 6 new coils (which took 2 service appointments) it ran smoothly for almost one day when it was discovered that it needed a new fuel injector. Once we got past that, a week later it needed a new air conditioning evaporator coil. Without the extended warranty the out of pocket expenses would have been outrageous. And all of this at only 28,000 miles. Amazingly enough, severl other owners that I have met casually have had similar experiences and cannot wait to sell their cars. But we all hang on since the reviews are so compelling and create the BMW mystique which somehow convinces us that it must be us...but perhaps not, perhaps it really an over-rated performance car.

  The Best Driving Sport Sedan - Period - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By Bryan W - November 17 - 3:36 pm

  I have owned many, and most recently test drove them all - G35, M35, 08 C- Class, TL, Audi A4 (2.0 & 3.2), A3 (3.2), Passat, A6, 530i (2005). Nothing even comes close to the feel of the BMW. If driving enjoyment is your top priority, this is your only choice (save the 5 series, but youll spend a lot more). All are excellent cars, but the 335i has something extra that you have to drive to experience. No probs for me with the run flat tires

  Excellent sports car but very poor gas mileage and expense to repair

  BMW 335i Convertible - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By K - September 24 - 4:56 am

  I have owned three American made cars and five different kinds of Lexus. This BMW is, by far, more fun to drive than ANY of them - even those priced much higher. It even allows adults under six feet to sit in the back seat comfortably. With the top down, there is no better car to really enjoy driving.

  Fantastic car! - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By jd_guy - June 28 - 4:46 am

  New BMW owner, previously owned Japanese models (Acura, Toyota, Mazda). Very pleased, wonderful car to drive. Scary fast, with great pick up in any gear. The finish and technology are exceptional. Im very pleased with the choice. Test drove Infiniti G37, but didnt make it out of the BMW dealer after test driving the 335xi (got it on the spot). Didnt go for the nav, bought a Garmin nuvi (noticed BMW also sells Garmins with the BMW branding).

  Hope you have money to throw away - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By Randy - March 8 - 6:30 am

  Bought my wife a 335i convertible after she was rear ended totaling her Honda S2000. she drove the care 3 months and the water pump had to be replaced. then the rear wheel bearings had to be replaced. Then the Turbos went out. this car has been sitting in the shop more than it has been driven. What a piece of junk.

  BMW 335 Conv is second to none - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By Joe - February 22 - 4:36 am

  Early christmas present!! Dealer and car came through and its a blast driving around this piece of art. The engine, the automatic; everything works 100%. Amazed by BMWs ability to make a high performance car packed into this sculpture of a car. Am a manual kind of guy but having tried the pedal shifting automatic had to go with it. Lightning fast!!

  I love this car - 2008 BMW 3-Series
  By cee - February 13 - 1:00 pm

  This car is the 1st car that I have ever bought and completly love. The power this car has is unbeliveable. One hit on the gas, and you feel how much power this car possess, The car hanldes like gem. The nav gets kind of tricky, and steering is tight, but other wise the car is a must have.
