Love the gurgling sound!
Whether it's a quick drive to pick up some milk, or a cruse along the Sea to Sky Highway, the 335is is a fantastic car. Push the start button and revel in the sound of the throaty exhaust. Drop it into manual mode and feel the awesome acceleration of each gear as you push through the revs. But what I love most, is the gurgling sound it's makes as I drop down the gears. I could listen to this all day!! If you're a car enthusiast, the 335is is perfect for those that want to make some simple yet super effective modifications. Only a few hundred bucks and you could be in 380HP territory. Can't do that in an M3!

it is a driving machine
beautiful design, nice ride! The 3 Series is BMW’s most important model. Not just because it’s their bestselling line by a considerable margin, but because it’s the car that best represents the brand throughout its existence.
The sedan version of the 2012 BMW 3 Series is the first to cross over from the fifth generation to the sixth; it will be followed by the coupe, the cabriolet and the wagon next year, and rumours are spreading that a five-door hatchback variant will also be added to the family.
After driving the new 3 Series sedan down the Pacific Coast Highway, as well as exploring its limits (and mine) on the famed Laguna Seca racetrack, it has proved worthy of carrying on the family heritage. The car has evolved marvellously, with more powerful yet more efficient powertrains, more room for rear-seat occupants and more equipment.
Improved performance, less fuel

Love its look
The one thing I find that I don't like about BMW in general is the comfort of the interior. The cars looks very nice and is good on fuel, I just hate that the leather interior is very stiff. I like the whole look of the car, and it is very stylish. I would recommend this car to anyone.

very good
It begins with the little button above the engine on/off switch that disables the automatic stop/start system -- BMW's first on a 3-series. We laud the idea of stop/start for its frugal intentions, but most of us hate it in action due to shuddery stops and starts, not to mention the way it makes the gearstick dance. One side effect of the recent cold snap, during which morning temperatures hovered somewhere between the freezing point and single digits, was noted by copy editor Rusty Blackwell, who found that "stop/start doesn't activate much, if at all, in the cold December temperatures." With Mother Nature pushing the stop/start defeat button for us, we didn't have to push the button ourselves.

Confrort Car
The switchgear is mostly familiar, but all models, from the lowliest 316d, will have climate control, Bluetooth, a USB input and a 6.5in colour screen. BMW has nailed the hard points too: seats, driving position, steering wheel, instrument legibility, this is a car that's very easy to get on with.

BMW - Great Ride
3-Series Performance:
• I was very surprised with the performance.
• Sport Mode: Amazing performance. It’s a completely different vehicle in this mode.
•Comfort Mode: Very relaxing to drive; yet still powerful.
•ECO PRO: Saved about 19km on my total drive. Didn’t do a lot of driving in this mode but I do see the benefits of saving fuel. However, I would most likely continue with Comfort/Sport mode.
3-Series Exterior:
Positives:
•Like the new larger size of the 3 series.
•New aggressive lining is nice.
•The rear looks a lot better from previous models.
•Rims look very nice.
•Grill looks nice.
•Exterior mirror operation when parked. (Thought was a nice added feature.)
Negatives:
•Don’t like how the front is “pinched”.
•Don’t like how the lights are connected to the grill.
3-Series Interior: 8 (Good)
Comfort
•Extremely comfortable for both the driver and passenger.
•Was disappointed with the coffee holders. I prefer the old design connected with the dash.
•Steering wheel felt really great
iDrive - Multimedia / Navigation
•Was extremely easy to use.
•Electronic displays on the dash were easy to read and to use during navigation.
•The Gauges look very nice in the daytime (White) – Matched the whole interior. At night it was the standard orange but for me I prefer the white look.
•Volume of sound was unbelievable.
•Easy to maneuver between different interfaces.
•Rear View Camera & Sensors were easy to use and extremely helpful.
Negatives:
•Center Armrest – Felt cheap and was easy to lift up.
•Coffer Holders placements were not in a great place. Actually spilled a little tea and it was hard to get it out after that.
•Need to remove the cigarette tray… I find there’s no need for it.
•Didn’t like the “manual” thigh support why not make it automatic like the rest of the seating adjustments? Seems cheap.

Great ride!
So I had this car for about a year now, and I really like it! The interior is really stylish, and the exterior makes it look like an expensive car. I have a 5 people family, and everyone fits inside. It's a little uncomfortable in the back for a long ride though. The car doesn't cost so much in fuel, so that's pretty good.

I absolutely love this car. It's small, not too big, fits great in my garage, and can actually fit my 5 people family! It's not the best performance, but hey...as long as you're not racing, you won't have any problems with this car! The car looks great from the exterior, especially for it's "cheap" price!

I've had this car for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it! It looks great from the outside, even though it's not that expensive. The engin is also great, nothing too fancy, but hey...it's not like if I was racing with it! It's perfect for what i need. We are 5 in our family, and this car is just perfect.

A Great Car for a Great Price point
The BMW 323i is one of my favourite sedans. Reliable, luxurious and it just a lot of fun. This car is easy on gas, but tough in the winter snow. I would highly recommend upgrading to the X Series if you need to tackle winter snow.

Excellent everyday car
Comfort and performance, the 2012 BMW 335i mastered both characteristics in a sharp design, eyeball catching body. unbelievable better! many new and fun features like tilt head light. automatic high beam, kick to open trunk, break energy recycle, auto restart, and the most noticeable driving mode switching. you really need to get your body in it and feel the differences~! totally different experience than previous 35 models.

Great Ride
I recently purchased this 2012 BMW 328 Sports Line. The car performs amazingly well, beyond my expectations! They focused on fuel economy with this new model and I was a bit hesitant as they changed the engine from a V6 to a V4 but the car has performed really well without any noticeable difference in the engine. Interior of the car is made off excellent quality with hand stitched leather seats. A great buy!
