2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This is my first BMW and I love it. Waited 10 years for it and it was worth it. Handling is great! Love the quite interior.

Favorite Features

Navigation, comfort, mileage. I am averaging 45+ mpg on the highway. Basic sound system is a blast.

Suggested Improvements

Bluetooth, auto dimming mirror and 18 inches wheels should be standard. City mileage could be better.

Review

Looked at the Acura TL, 07 Camry Sport, Avalon Limited, Jaguar, Volvo S80 and S60. No comparison when talking about cost of ownership and performance. I would opt for the sport package with the 17 inch wheels. I will use this car as a third car so I don't have to take my Yukon XL Denali on errands. --Mom of three.

Favorite Features

Performance, great handling, quiet ride, sporty appearance, iPod, bluetooth capability and it's fun to drive!

Suggested Improvements

Air is loud when on high. Other than that, love it!

Unbelievable Car!!

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

When I decided to buy a car I wanted something classy, fun to drive (important criteria), and for a lack of a better way to describe it, had a pedigree behind the performance. I looked at all the usuals in the luxury sport sedan class but the BMW 335i left the biggest grin on my face and in the end it was an easy decision for me. BMW. This car feels faster than the factory specs of 300hp/300ftlb and from some reviews, it apparently is. The surprising thing though so far is that this car is quite good on gas although it does require premium. So far city driving has yielded figures of 25-27 mpg. My last hwy trip was 40 mpg and this was with some spirited driving. Highly recommend!

Favorite Features

Styling! This thing looks sexy at any angle. Performance is unbelievable and gas mileage is impressive considering the engine. This is the first BMW 3-Series where I didn't feel cramped. It's quite roomy and the interior isn't ostentacious. It has a nice combination of simplicity and classiness.

Suggested Improvements

More selection on wheels would be nice. The standard rims are rather boring. Maybe do something better with the cup holders.

2007 BMW 3 Series 335xi 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

Although the Saab and Audi are great cars too, the BMW is far better in terms of handling, acceleration, styling, and engine sound.

Favorite Features

It is quite quiet in the cabin; has lots of punch; terrific handling and good-sounding radio.The car performs flawlessly in every regard.

Suggested Improvements

Glove compartment large enough to hold the pouch the car manuals are in. Spare tire is always a good idea or at least include the tire/road hazard warranty if run-flats are provided.

Luxury car

2007 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car is great! I was considering the IS 250 and this car and finally chose this car because it is much more stable to drive at higher speeds. Overall, this is a great car and worth it for its price.

Favorite Features

Interior, Xenon headlights, memory garage key.

Suggested Improvements

GPS is not as good as others as you can't look up a place by typing its name, you need to have its full address. Fuel mileage. Driving this car can be quite costly as the fuel runs out faster than any other cars.

My Seventh Bimmer

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

This is the seventh BMW I have owned, my first one being a 1974 2002. And, it is by far the best one. The build is rock solid, the fit and finish first class, and the performance outstanding. The most attractive feature of this car (aside from its hard top convertible design) is its 3 liter twin turbo engine. With 300 lb ft of torque available all the way from 1500 to above 5000 rpm, this car accelerates like a sling shot. While the driving aspects are first class, the electronics leave something to be desired. The comfort access feature is supposed to allow keyless driving, but the Bluetooth does not work properly unless the key is in the slot.

Favorite Features

Engine, transmission, convertible hard top, design, rock-solid chassis.

Suggested Improvements

Comfort access software clearly needs improvement. Bluetooth won't work unless key is inserted. Electronics controlling glove box lock have a mind of their own.

Best car ever

2007 BMW 3 Series 328xi 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Without a doubt the best automobile I have ever owned. Surprising highway mileage and outstanding performance in an all wheel drive vehicle. Quality of manufacture is evident in all details.

Favorite Features

Cruise control which accelerates in 5 mph intervals and decelerates in 2 mph intervals.

Suggested Improvements

Radio readout is difficult in bright sunlight.

For Someone Special

Review

Pamper yourself with this car, it is worth it! A 2007 BMW 328i convertible is the gift that keeps on giving. It may not be the most practical vehicle choice but it sure has been the most fun! A Mother's Day gift for my wife, the thrill and joy of this open-air baby just keeps on rewarding her as I have never seen her happier. Exceptionally comfortable and luxurious. The 3.0 liter in-line six with 230-hp is adequate. Surprisingly smooth on the road, quiet, and fuel economical.

Favorite Features

Premium Pkg., Nav. and Sirius. The options heighten the reward level every time it is driven. The hardtop roof mechanicals are an engineering wonder! We can have conversations at speed. The looks this vehicle gets. Just love Cream Beige leather and Titanium Silver, we think it was a special order.

Suggested Improvements

Higher ground clearance needed as we scrape the lower front air dam every time we back down the driveway. Like the safety of RFTs and would also prefer a full-size spare tire and wheel in the trunk. Offer the choice of Cream Beige leather interior with Titanium Silver, it is a sweet combination.

2007 BMW 3 Series 328xi 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Just picked up my 328xi a few days ago, and I look for any excuse to run errands so I can get behind the wheel. I added the sport package, cold weather package, and the iPod adapter, and am pleased with all of my selections. This car handles like a dream - it loves to hug the curves and go fast. Very tight and responsive, and the 6 spd manual is silky-smooth. Fit and finish are great. The metallic paint is flawless.

Favorite Features

Handling; responsiveness; fun factor; 6 spd shift; being able to take iTunes on the road with me and operate the iPod through the stereo controls; fit and finish.

Suggested Improvements

If I hadn't gotten the iPod adapter, I'd be disappointed that there is no in-dash CD changer. The leatherette is fine, but it's surprising that a car in this price range doesn't include leather as a standard feature.

Beautiful car with reliability issues

Written by: Jerry on 06/07/2007

Vehicle

2007 BMW 3 Series 335i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Review

I had Infiniti G35 before and hesitated getting a BMW because of poor reliability track record of any new BMW models. The car looks beautiful and drives well, so I listened to recommendations and bought the 335 hardtop convertible. In the 2nd week, the hardtop started to slam down when closing and doesn't tighten. I took it back and it's been 4 days and I still don't have my car back. Comfort access features, navigation, and iDrive also have some bugs. While I like the car when it's working right, I don't think it's worth the hassle. It's been the worst experience with any car purchase across the board.

Favorite Features

Retractible hardtop when it's working. Handling when car is not in the shop.

Suggested Improvements

Reliability and quality.
