It is very reliable, it does have higher miles but it still runs great! I think it looks stylish and people still say it looks like new and is absolute beautiful. It is very impressive and I feel confident driving it. I love comfortable it is inside also. I had to sleep in it awhile back on an overnight trip. It certainly wasn't a motel room but was surprisingly roomy and comfortable.

My wonderful BMW, I absolutely love it!!
The BMW 328i is super reliable, its not bad on gas and as small as it appears has a big tank. I use it for work mainly to travel and its super great. I have 4 children and we all fit just fine in the car. I love the leather interior it looks classy but this specific kind is sporty as well, you get the best of both worlds. It has electric lock windows which is also a plus. The 328i looks great in all colors mine particularly is a dark blue. Its aerodynamic and has a beautiful sunroof if you want a more sporty look. The car is easy to maintain as well. This car has a very spacious trunk which is also great.

BMW 335Xi coupe - The Good and Bad
The BMW 335XI is a great vehicle year round. I live in Maine and we get all 4 seasons with some harsh winters and it handles great! Only suggestion for a better ride is to change out the all season tires. Just beware there is no spare in the trunk. Only issues is it is expensive to maintain. If possible, get a extended bumper to bumper warranty. The computer had to be replaced twice and this cost out of pocket would of been $4000.00 each time. Other issue is if you have children as I have a 5 year old son, the coupe isn't for you. He has to cross his legs in the back when an adult sits in the passenger seat. Only other issue is it only takes the highest grade for gasoline, so buyer beware of the cost issues.

That the car is in great shape even when it is almost 10 years old.
I like the steering and the handle when you drive. I love how low it is and the big wheels it comes with. I dislike how it picks up kind of slow in speed, initially.

3.0 Inline six: Perfected
The 2009 BMW 328i coupe truly is a great car to drive. BMW 3.0 Inline V6 is a masterpiece of an engine. You have control of the vehicle and its power at your fingertips. The only downside to owning this car? Repairs can be costly. However, timely and regular maintenance will make sure you never see those bills.

Amazing vehicle
I absolutely love this car and I’ve been rough on it. Out of the 17 I’ve owned this one is by far my fav. My only issue is the front and back passenger inside pull handles melting. Uggh I’m only selling next month as a upgrade.

The car has an oil gauge inside the car, so you don't have to check it manually.
My BMW 328i xDrive is the most reliable vehicle I have owned thus far. I have had my car for nearly 3 years, and it had virtually no issues besides standard car care. My car came with the lowest level interior package, but comes with everything you would expect and love of a luxury vehicle. From leather heated seats to roomy back seats. It makes family travels comfortable! Sunroof is amazing, as well as the parrot Bluetooth device. The car has always drove so smooth. I also love the 'cluster' that automatics tells you what may be wrong with your car or alert you of other conditions, such as, low tire pressure, when certain sensor are not working, when it's time for servicing, temperature has dropped below freezing and more. Overall great car!

The perfect car
I have a 335d with all available options, love the car , but the dpf filter started to clog, so i got pricing on a replacement , that was $3800, so instead i drove my car to Atlanta from Charlotte , the tecs down there remove all emissions systems from my car , tuned and programmed it , and that was @ 52000 miles it now has 124265 mile on it and there are no more issues, at all. Fuel economy is better than factory 26 city and 41 on interstate. Of all the vehicles i have had in my 60 years this is the best , i don't ever foresee sell my car it is the most maintenance free vehicle i have ever owned.

Very high performance vehicle that is comfortable once you are in it
The BMW 335i is a beautiful car inside and out. Mine has heated leather seats and navigation with a beautiful interior. The leather seats are very comfortable once you are inside. Mine has a Sunroof. The engine performs very well. This car accelerates very fast. You can drive 120 MPH for hours seamlessly. The ride is a bit rough, but lots of fun, but it is a sports car, so that is to be expected. The handling of the car is great, you know you have lots of control when driving it. Common problems to look out for, if you buy one pre-owned, make sure the alternator is in good working order. Also be sure to check the engine that it does not overheat. Sometimes people will use aftermarket pipes instead of the BMW ones like they are supposed to.
DJ U
on November 17, 2020
Its red so it stands out a lot.
It is a good car once it reaches over 100,000 miles. If you do not get a warranty on the car you are going to be spending a lot of money on repairs in the future. I have spent thousands of dollars on multiple repairs and it's breaking the bank. Since its a foreign car the repairs cost a little more than most cars.
Vonesa Q

It's a convertible hard top.

That the car is a piece of ingenious design and drives perfectly and as long as you look after the car, the car will look after you
I like the comfort of the BMW, the car has leather seats and the technological mod-cons that I like to have in a car. It also drives extremely well and has a strong pull force. I dislike the cost of parts- such as any issues with the car results in a severe payout to fix

I like the make of the car, but it has a lot of miles on it now so it does not drive like a brand new vehicle would.
Daniel M

It is important to keep and use your vehicle as long as possible. This reduces the churn of cars headed to landfills and the use of natural resources to produce new cars.
I like that it is a convertible with a standard transmission. I like that it runs well after 9 years and gets good gas mileage. I dislike that currently, the convertible seals have degraded and allowed water to leak into the vehicle.

It is the smoothest driving and most quiet car I have ever owned.
I love the dependability of my 328i BMW. I was told how much more expensive maintenance would be but in all honesty it has not been bad. The recommendation for oil changes is a 8, 000 to 10, 000 miles compared to the standard 3, 000 for other cars so I am not paying for as many oil changes. The only mechanical issues I have had are the coils but seeing this car is 9 years old I thing that is impressive. I never owned a BMW before this one but now I am committed to owning more in the future.
Josephine R

Performance of my BMW is excellent and it is the Real great machine.

The sunroof is a great feature to use in the vehicle.
Not many performance problems on this car at all I like driving it and it last for years it still has a lot of years left to drive on it.

BMW's are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain, but if you take good care of it and drive it well, it'll last you a long time.
My car has been in my family for the past 8 or so years. It used to be my brother's and he's a huge car guy so he did a lot to it and made it faster and louder. I love how stiff the steering is and I love being able to feel the road. Compared to my other car (Korean-made) it is a DREAM.

It is a good safe car. German engineering, but parts of it were made/mfg. In USA and Mexico.
My BMW is a safe car. It is red. It has been good to me, having few problems in It's many years. Although car repairs in general are high, the one thing I dislike about BMW is that they cost a lot to maintain and repair. These costs are much more than other cars. I'd like to get my car to the dealers for such repairs, but they are more expensive than other repair shops.
Akeem B

I love the exhaust notes that my car releases. The driving is great too.
My vehicle is something that I really love. This is my second Bmw. The best feeling is riding down the road feeling proud of your purchase. The only downside is that it is very smart, smart as in if something is wrong with the battery connection it will go into limp mode so that your car is protected.

My 2009 328i convertible car review.
What I like about my car is that it is nice and small and compact. What I also like is that it is an covetable and what I also like it's the leather interior. I feel like the car is somewhat reliable as long as you do not pop a tire because my car does not have a spare tire and I have popped it a couple times now.

My BMW 2009 series 3 - 328i xDrive review
This car has been very reliable. I haven't really had any major problems mechanically. My only gripe is being charged $250 for a computer upgrade. I've been told that without it they can't determine problems I may have. I think these computer upgrades should be included in the price of the car.

2009 BMW 328i lesson I learned.
I had issues with the Bluetooth, I also have a lot of misfires. It drove perfect for the last 3 years I had it but I found the making a lot of noise, I ended up taking it into the dealership. I did have an extended warranty which covers me until I reach 75k mileage. I bought the car at 32k mileage. I don't recommend this vehicle although it did me justice for school and work everyday.
Matt A
on December 28, 2019
Manual vehicle that is smooth, powerful engine, 4 wheel drive with great control.
Only negative thing about this car is the gas mileage. In a city like Austin, a high in city gas mileage would be ideal, but this car is 4 wheel drive so the gas mileage is pretty low. Secondly, this car is manual, which I love but can be sometimes annoying when stuck in traffic in Austin.
Allison G

BMWs get a bad reputation for reliability and quite unfairly. There is good reason for many peoples fear of German cars in general, but generally ... BMWs, though, are much more reliable than some would let you believe. The thing with BMW, and any premium car for that matter, is that they require maintenance.
Daniel C

Great mechanical performance and classic style that endures.
I've really enjoyed my convertible until recently. It is almost 10 years old and has developed leaks at the rubber seals. Repair will be more than $10k.

Best car I've ever owned
Bought this car new and drove it off the lot. It now has 145,000 care free miles on it. I have it serviced at the dealer regularly and have had some fairly expensive repairs but nothing outrageous. The 6 cylinder engine is bullet proof and was once named by the UK Car Lease association as the #1 most reliable engine. I have the 2 door coupe in metallic charcoal and the body design still looks gorgeous. I think it's one of the most beautiful small coupes ever made. I plan on keeping this vehicle for another few 100 thousand miles. Just keep it up to date with your servicing and the car will serve you extremely well.
Alex V
on October 17, 2019
Why this is a perfect everyday car.
This car is extremely easy for both me and my wife to drive. I feel it has the perfect amount of horsepower, smoothness, and maneuverability. The only downside is that it is a 2009 model, so it lacks many extra features that are typically in new cars, like a rear camera. Other than that, I feel the car is perfect.
James C

Black on black sedan with m sport package
Problems are minimal when the vehicle is maintenance. Look to replace spark plugs and coils more often than American or Japanese cars. Oil leaks can be an issue with the oil filter housing unit. As well as the valve cover gasket. All easy to DIY if you have a little bit of skill and patience. Comfort is alright, the model I have is the m sport model. The ride on these can be a little rough on bad roads. Overall the ride is quite. Reliability is hit or miss, all depends on if the maintenance has been kept up with. Performance is the fun part. This platform has a lot of aftermarket parts to make the car a joy to drive.
Christina G
on October 13, 2019
2009 BMW 3 series is the best vehicle i've driven thus far. Highly recommend.
Performance is excellent if adhering to specifications and keeping premium unleaded gas. General maintenance and upkeep is required to maintain maximum performance. This takes a special European blend oil. Only major issue since purchasing it was at 119k miles replacing the water pump. Love my heated seats and sunroof.
Vanessa B

It only takes premium gas.
I have enjoyed driving my BMW because I have always wanted a convertible and it is fun to drive. However, BMW has had two open recalls on this model and has been poor in its response to fixing them. The airbag took almost a year and there is a wiring issue on the ventilation that they still have no plans to fix. I want to sell this car soon and will have trouble with an open recall.
Heather C

I love the look and it drives great!
Wear and tare maintenance you have to keep on top of. I have heard that a lot of this series of cars have the window break on them so they cannot go up and down, that happened on mine. My a/c has gone out a couple times. Drives very well, at times I have felt like the car is not reliable when I have had issues. Stay alert of all warning lights and if you get it fixed right away the car will be good to you. Very comfortable and I love how it drives.

BMW e92 3 series coupe - an iconic look and an exceptional drive.
Reliable, well performing vehicle perfect for two passengers. While repairs and maintenance are usually considered expensive, the comfort and luxury it provides are well worth it. If I had to complain about something it would be that the seat belt feeder is well known to not operate as expected, leaving you reaching behind to grab it more times than not.
Diane P

An older but very good BMW model.
Super comfortable interior. It is a cross between a sports car and a family car. Has very good acceleration ability which comes in handy. Small enough to fit in parking spaces comfortably. An older model but had navigation, and many more upscale features usually found only in more recent cars.
Michael L

Probably the expensive repairs that can only be performed at the dealership.

The twin turbocharged six cylinder is fast and smooth.
The 2009 E93 BMW 335i Vert is an amazing performance machine. The smooth power from the twin turbocharged 6 cylinder is exciting and putting the hardtop down to bask in the sun is very enjoyable. The automatic transmission is smooth and putting the car into sport mode/manual mode really unleashes the power.

Review of ten year old 335i.
Has been a great car to me in the time that I have had it. The n54 engine is notoriously powerful but also notoriously unreliable. I have made a few tasteful aesthetic and engine modifications but overall have not experienced many problems from the added power or overall age of the car. I drive the car back and forth from Colorado to Arizona twice a year and it is a great time getting it out on the highways and seeing what it is made of. Ten years old.
Reg C

BMWs are really good cars and if you take care of them, they will take care of you. People don't realize my car is as old as it is because it looks like it's about two or three years old.
My vehicle is a gorgeous car. I like the color and the fact that it's a fun drive. My previous car was a two door, so I love having a four door.
Omar K
on November 7, 2018
Solid car and lots of fun. Awesome in the snow.
The car is a blast to drive but be prepared to spend money on repairs. After hitting 100k miles I have had to replace top valve cover and gaskets, ignition coils, auxiliary water pump, serpentine belt and mass air flow sensor. This is not including regular maintenance things like shocks and brakes.
