  • A sign of things to come - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    This is my first new car. Just leased at Devon Hill BMW. Everyone at the dealer was fantastic. They made me feel that my purchase (or lease) really mattered to them! Now onto the car. Simply perfect for my needs. 25 year old male. I love technology, so the premium and navigation package were a must. I was skeptical about the infamous i-drive system. But I found the new version to be perfectly fine to operate. I almost prefer it to touch screens now because it keeps my arm in a comfortable position. The fit and finish on the car are amazing. I test drove Acuras, Hondas, Fords, and sat in an Infiniti. My 3 feels like a more expensive car.

  • Came back to BMW - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    A few years ago had a 5 series. Great car no problem but was a sport wagon and I just didnt like the use of a sw. So I traded it. Since than have been a Lexus driver. Great cars not one problem. But you cant compare the the two. Lexus is a soft ride luxury and BMW is a sport luxury. Just driving the 3 home it all came back on why they rave about the handling of BMW. It just feels so tight and in control. The car overall just feels more soild.

  • A Stunning Standard of Driving Pleasure - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Acceleration, handling, comfort, fit and balance (power and efficiency)--all the attributes of a great, affordable car are here. With a few Dinan mods, the car becomes a brilliant sleeper that begs to be driven. In addition, one can cruise all day at 75 mph and get 30+mpg. Who cares about cup holders? Drove Audis and loved them however, the 335i was tighter and more drivable.

  • To D or not to D - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Sold Audi a6 2.7t-too big for my needs. 3 series, though smaller than I wanted, is a better size. Miss the radio, larger comfortable seats, larger trunk for golf clubs-but BMW gives Superior free maintenance for next 4 yrs, huge savings in fuel consumption-diesel is evident only at start up and low mph-highway speeds, you cannot tell this is a diesel. I would have preferred an Audi quattro a5 a4 or a6 with more features, but hard to pass up the ecocredit, more aggressive dealer pricing than local Audi dealers - strong resale-all made the BMW less expensive over the next 2-4 years. Fit and finish are great-navigation is very good, but Audi navi is better. No complaints but economics drove me to BMW.

  • Love it! - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Before buying this car I tested the new A4 and the C class Benz. I admit the Audi is the best looking of the 3 but once you take it for a spin- none of the other cars come even close to the BMW. The acceleration is seamless and I love the sport automatic/ steptronic mode. I love the perfectly balanced steering and the handling/ grip on the road is fantastic. I love how solid the car feels. The Audis steering felt too light and the acceleration/handling does not compare.

  • Okay, not great! - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Cabin is very quiet and comfortable. Acceleration and handling are good. Some people have trouble entering because of low overhead. Windshield sticker warns run flat tires get about 20 miles - expensive. Requires premium gas, but regular seems to run OK. Cabin interior storage is terrible. Owners materials & CDs have to store in trunk. Speedometer is about 4 mph too fast.

  • Pure engineering- drivers car - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    If you like engineering to perfection this is the car for you. Great handling at high speeds and you can get great mileage is you want to back off. This is my 5th BMW and my favorite. Well maybe not my 2002 was great, but not reliable.

  • Best in Class By Far - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    This is the 5th BMW I have owned.It remains a fantastic car in all respects. In addition to great driving characteristics coupled with excellent fuel economy, the car is incredibly well-built from a safety standpoint. My wife was on the highway at 65mph when she was side-swiped by a semi. She was able to maintain enough control not to veer into another lane, which would have caused a crash given the heavy traffic. When she pulled over and stopped, there was black truck tire rubber from the front quarter panel all the way back to the rear door. The state cop told her he had seen this type of accident a lot, but this was one of the few times there had been a survivor!

  • malfunctions, no help from BMW - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The satellite radio does not work, never has. The dealer says they cant fix it, nor can BMW, that its just a problem in these cars. The USB port will not accept iphones. It works with ipod, but ipods are now integrated into iphones. No fix for that either. The speedometer is 4-5mph off, so youre not sure what speed youre going. I determined this from two different portable GPSs. No fix. BMW removed the electrical outlet from the bottom of the dash board, now theres only one outlet and its in the console. But if you plug something in there (GPS for example) the wire runs all along your console next to your gear shift lever plus, the console lid will not close. No fix for that.

  • 335i Coupe Rox - 2010 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Got this car about 2 months ago and love it more every time I drive it. The acceleration is soo smooth and seamless. Truly a very quick car. The turbos have no lag at all. The road feel is typical BMW and the faster the turn the better you feel!
