Problems and problems, but I can't live without it....

'07 335i has been in service for over 20 days since I bought it (CPO) one year ago. This last stint pissed me off. 1 1/2 weeks and BMWNA had the dealer running around in circles. Was *seriously* considering having BMWNA buy it back or selling it.

Then...... I got the car back. Sunroof open, short sprint on the freeway, cruised down the Pacific Coast Highway, cut through the canyon, pulled into my garage.... and admitted that I can't sell it.

No way.

What a driving experience. It's like a luxurious go-kart. Effortless acceleration, on-rails handling, superb braking, simple yet luxurious interior (I've come to appreciate it after having flashy interiors from Audi/Acura)... there really isn't anything like it. For the price that is....

So.... I will continue to bear with the mechanical issues. Hopefully all of these service visits are ridding the car of problematic parts.

Exactly how I feel. Going back to the dealer tomorrow for an oil change and because it's making some awful screeching sound on warm starts. I'm not even remotely annoyed because I haven't been to the dealer since March 30

I actually made it like 2.5 months this time!

I feel for you 335i guys making trips all the time to the dealer. Being 24, still in school, working full time, and poor doesn't allow me to go to the stealership constantly. I know the 335i is far superior than the 328i in every aspect, but having 0 issues on my car definitely helps everyday process. One day, I'll be able to enjoy a BMW with some serious power because right now this 328i is just a tease.
