Functional and Fun - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By LeCanard - September 27 - 11:11 amI dont regret buying this car for one second! It is incredibly fun to drive, looks great, and performs like a BMW should. It sticks to the road like glue and makes even the most boring commute bearable with its performance and style. I have had no problems with this car so far and it has not required any return trips to the dealer. I was going to get the 328 initially, but after driving the 335 I knew I wouldnt be as happy as I am now with the extra HP afforded by the 335.

I love my new 335i sedan! - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Dan B - September 19 - 9:22 amId strongly considered the new 335d sedan earlier this summer, but opted for the 335i sedan instead...primarily due to availability and price considerations. This is my 6th BMW in the last 20 years, and Im in love all over again with my car!! The sport package is worth the price, and the new IDRIVE nav system is much improved over the 2006 model.

1st Time New Bimmer Owner - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Erik G. - September 8 - 5:20 amIn US Army, and drove an 18 year old Bimmer for 2 yrs in Germany. Loved it so much and impressed I bought a new one. My first sports car! Got the jet black stock color. It hugs the road like nothing Ive ever driven. Goes effortlessly to 110mph, and its great to be able to do this on the autobahn and still be legal! Fits my 3 kids, 11, 9, and 6 in the back seat, though its tight. Trunk bigger than expected. I too have had trouble shifting smoothly with the "drive by wire" clutch it has. At first I thought it was me, but looking at other reviews I guess its just the technology. Too bad it cant keep you from stalling it too. Overall we love our Bimmer!

Bring My Wallet ie. BMW - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Thomas & Susan - September 1 - 1:03 pmThe styling of this car sets it apart from all others in its class. This is our second BMW and Im a hard sell for import cars. BMW gets greedy with there options they are priced to high and there is no such thing as a base model on the lot.

Ultimate Convertible Great FUN to RIDE - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Danny - August 29 - 9:20 pmThis is my first BMW convertible and it is a blast. The German engineering is without question. The folding convertible top is an engineering marvel. Takes 23 seconds to fold into the trunk. I was happy to see that I still had room in the trunk to store some small things after the top had been stored in this area. Excellent pick up and the interior workmanship is top notch. This is quite the head turner and when you put the top down, you will draw an audience. Fantastic car and fun to drive.

Its all good - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By M - August 27 - 5:53 pmFirst time BMW owner and just got my 335D. Everything I hoped for came true. The look and feel of a world class car with the mileage of an economy car. The power is outstanding and the ride is so effortless that you cant tell how fast you are going. One issue is the cupholders...seems like with all the engineering prowess of BMW a suitable solution could be put in place.

WV 328i XDrive - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Joe Armstrong - August 23 - 8:54 pmThis car is incredible. It is exactly what was advertised. "The ultimate driving machine". It is smooth and responsive. I have yet to find a curvy two lane road that this car didnt love. I have driven a lot of nice cars, but this is in a class all alone.

Still the Best - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Wil - August 17 - 6:30 pmNeeded a simple not too flashy business/ personal car and drove everything in this class. G8 was fun but future is bad. Jetta was okay but not as refined. Audi too slow. Owned a 99 328i so I decided to try 328i and not 330i as this is business car. Wow, this is a performance car with luxury and brings smiles every time I drive. Hard to do when you are replacing a Vette. Driving dynamics are still the best after all these years. BMW Straight 6 is still the best engine made on the planet. I was surprised the buying experience, price and attitude of BMW has changed. Got best deal from them which was a total surprise.

Awesome - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Bob - August 14 - 11:16 pmI picked up my 2009 335i xDrive a week ago and this car is amazing. I look forward to going to work in the morning to drive it. It seems to eat up the road and the 18" run flats with the sport package are unmatched. The growl the car make when you turn it on and step on the gas is worth the price alone. The stereo is incredible, iDrive is easy to use as well as the navigation. I am so glad I stopped in the dealership on the way to check on my Audi A5 that was on order. I drove this car and made the deal that night and drove down the street to cancel the Audi. I have had Acuras, Infinitis and driven my dads Cayman S; this car blows them away. I will never buy anything but a BMW again.

Better than expected - 2009 BMW 3-Series
By Navig8 - August 14 - 9:18 amNot a BMW fan in general, but bought this after a test drive. Its no sports car, but is fun to drive. Much more importantly the refinement is peerless. Interior reviews for this car are so-so, but I personally love the mixture of simplicity and great build quality - it fits my definition of luxury more than lots of buttons or extra decoration. For me, it was the refinement and composure that won me over, but the gas mileage (25mpg so far) is a bonus. Worst aspect is the attention. People think buying a BMW says something about you (either good or bad) - and either way its totally out of proportion with reality... Its just a sedan for crying out loud!! My $40K Nissan got no attention.
