amazing whip for drifting
totally a beast of a drift car tuner muscle I would totally buy one again and will continue to buy bmws because they are pure drivers cars and you cant get that quality bond between car and driver these days. too much electronics not enough car. these had LSD which made full power to the rear and could glide like butter on the streets.

Very fun ride
I"m one of those people, the type that's incredibly picky about their cars and finds a few things that could be done better in every car she owned.
I've had a lot of great cars over the years but this is the BEST.
I really can't think of anything I would change.
It drives great, is incredibly comfortable, looks amazing, has great options and features, plenty of power, incredible handling and it's just flat out FUN. The AWD is just AMAZING it has never failed me!

2009 BMW 3 Series

Trim: 328i Executive Package with Nav
by wannabehoonigan on 07-25-2017
BMW stereotypes not as bad as feared with this one
2009 model purchased CPO from a BMW dealer in 2011 with 31000km. Review written in 2017 at 150000km.

I was nervous about the luxury German reliability stories…Thankfully my experience is only partly true. Purchased the extended RFT warranty and had to use it with a defective tire within the first 20000km.

The RWD experience is as fun as advertised. The 230hp is modest compared to many modern sport compacts and sedans out there but the refinement, transmission and power delivery are among the best in the industry – Same can be said for cabin comfort and refinement. No issues from 2 adults in the rear seat for space. Trunk also generous for the vehicle class. Winter driving not the best, but manageable – I will avoid RWD until I start shopping for a car exclusively for fun. Interior is “Spartan”, but functional. BMW iDrive (in this 2009 model) was overall well executed. Exterior design still quite sharp after 8 years IMO.

Dealer warranty wasn’t always the most pleasant – You will likely be nickled and dimed and denied full repair at first assessment. But if you have tact, you can get them to fully honor the written agreement. Wear and tear maintenance is pricey and required more frequently than mainstream brands, but I think the trade-off is worth it. The biggest blemish on this experience was an alternator that required replacement at 70000km. It required 3 dealer trips and some pushback, but I got it covered under warranty (was told that it would have been an $1800 fix). Also, both tail lamps required replacement inside of 100000km ($350 each), some intermittent single stereo speaker cutout noted around 90000km, non-functioning AC at 140000km (low cost band aid fix).

Bottom line: High price, high expectations, and after 6 years and 120000km of ownership, I am very satisfied with the experience.

2007 BMW 3 Series

A great vehicle to treat yourself with
I purchased this vehicle from a used car dealer in late 2012; the car had one previous owner. When I was car shopping, I was looking for a used late-model Honda or Toyota, but this vehicle was available for about the same price. Although it was over five years old, I was quite impressed with it. Since I have owned the vehicle, it has mostly run very well; there was one incident when the electric water pump suddenly failed, requiring an expensive service, but other than that, the vehicle has been quite reliable. The fuel economy was better than I had expected for such a heavy vehicle. The engine is powerful and the ride is smooth, even at high speed. All in all, this is probably the most enjoyable car I have ever driven.

Great Little Car !
Nothing but pleasure driving this duo transmission wagon , lots of pep & stability ...Thing flies thru corners , and manuevers well thru traffic ; steady footing , solid body and steady steering ! Out performs much of the European competition ; Some of the downfalls are boring stationwagon styling , sun/moon roof not large enough ; rear seats are folded flat which helps when carting stuff and dogs ; seperate window and tailgate shud be a must for all stationwagons ; another downfall could be the boring dash and quirky controls for regular things , does not add to a positive feel but once used they seem quite normal ; definitely would purchase the same model over and over again !

It's a terrific ride
luxury, speed, and class included all in one. For amateurs, few modification like air flow, lights and interior trim is good to add.iI recommend K&N air flow, nice 18'' mags, carbon fiber interior trim. Multi color lights changing and the sound system is already good.
