I have a 3-series touring. The following are problems with this car: 1. Niggling electrical issues. 2. Poor build quality (Door closing the front doors anyway sound like tin foil). 3. Overrated because of the badge. 4. Rear wheel arch with eventually rust, regardless of which one you have by the way. That is new and older versions, before you ask. 5. The rear view is the worst I have ever experienced. You are reversing completely blind with this car, even with reverse sensors you feel like you are about to reverse into something because the rear view is so bad. 6. Overpriced for what it is. £40k + well I know what you really should spend that money on, and it aint German, that is for sure. If you are desperate to purchase 3-series you get the coupe version, and only the coupe version. Again I have owned one of the coupe version and had no issues with it and the build quality feels better, a lot better. If you are desperado to purchase a sports estate car, why buy German when you can buy British and have better build quality, have more influence on the roads and be more respected. Cheers.

***** What a load of crap. I've got a 2013 330d xdrive touring. It's the best car I've ever owned. So good, I've just ordered another 2015 335D.

[@KiwiGraggle]

Good for you. I owned a 335d M-Sport Saloon on a 64 plate that I had alongside my 320d Touring which I would run my dog out in, so just putting my boot as you have tried too and no, I own mine outright and do not lease. However, as I have said in my previous message, the M-Sport version of the 3-series is truly uncomfortable and I do not give a pants whether you think the 3-series does not have faults, because they do. Notice I said niggling faults?. That would suggest that the build quality is not what I expect from a minimum of a £40k motor vehicle. Obviously you like to compromise do you when you spend £40k+ on a vehicle, when there are better quality vehicles in the market for around the same money. Beautiful vehicle to look at though the 3-series and in SE or Luxury trim is probably the only versions you should look at if you respect your back and comfort levels. Obviously you do not as you are about to go and waste nearly £50k on an M-Sport aren't you, because in your tiny mind you have this delusion that everyone is looking at you, don't you?. No, you get an Audi S5 in white or Sepang Blue if you want people to comment on a genuinely overall nicer car, because the 3-series not only has little niggling issues, but it is also a deeply common vehicle on our roads, which also makes it not as desirable as you think, but you must buy one because in your mind you think BMW is the best brand of vehicle in the world, don't you?. In Touring guise it is quite ugly as well in comparison to other rivals, it has only a handful of things over its competitors as far as i am concerned. It's strong engines and handling being its primary unbeatable assets, but not a lot else in its arsenal to overtake its rivals. You buy on badge and nothing else. I know your type. I would not try and talk to me about the 335d M-Sport trim, it really is not worth your while. I know this car inside and out and you can do better for comfort and build quality in say an Audi S5 Sportback. The 8-speed autobox on the diesel engine on the 3-series is probably the best you can get in this range of vehicle though, but it again comes down to comfort levels and niggling build quality issues such as tinny door sounds when you close the front door as one of several build quality issues. The equivalent Audi S5 or 3.0Tdi A5 is higher build quality, full stop whether you like that or not. The 3-series in M-Sport guise, forget it, it is evil uncomfortable and not good for long journeys unless you intend on driving like a complete idiot which is what the M-Sport driving experience is more than likely to be. What the 3-Series has over any rival is the beautiful 3.0 diesel engine, which is the most rapid of its class by a royal mile and the handling on the 3-series any version is also the best in the field. But again, it lacks the build quality in areas I do not expect there to be poor quality. Like the closing of the doors, it sounds like I am closing the door on an old Ford Escort or something similar. Not what you expect from a £40k + motor vehicle. You may, but I do not. So overall I give the 335d M-Sport a low 5/10. But in SE or Luxury version with the M-Sport Suspension Pack will be the best in its class and will get a 9/10, even as comfortable as an Audi A5 3.0Tdi S-Line or S5 petrol. There you go, I am slating the M-Sport version of the 3-series but not the SE or Luxury trim level versions. If you want to look like you have an iron deficiency then purchase an M-Sport with zero comfort. If you want something more classy and i think equally as good looking and if you must have a 3-Series, then you get one in SE or Luxury guise with the 18 inch alloys. I will also add that reversing in a Touring or even M-Sport Saloon (NOTE M-Sport) is a nightmare because of its angles and with 19 inch alloys and a terrible steering lock when parking is like parking an oil tanker, which when you think about it, does genuinely make the M-Sport in any engine size a dud that is not as good as you think it is. Also noted is the lack of additional space in the boot on a 3-Series Touring. It is just about right for a Jack Russell dog, certainly nothing larger. If you purchase a Touring and have a dog or dogs, then you better expect additional expense to have a specially built dog cage to go in the boot, so add another £1250 for that, and this is nothing you can have made from a BMW dealership or Halfords. You see, the 3-Series Touring has to many niggling issues to bother purchasing. it is not really an estate car at all. It is dressed up to be a sporty estate, but it carries no more I feel than the saloon version as it is the same length and even with the additional head space in the boot of a Touring, it still does not carry much. A 5-series Touring is equally as bad by the way, as I have also owned one of those. Try putting a 6 foot door in the back of a 5-Series Touring and you will wonder how it struggles to fit in the boot of what is a sizable vehicle. So the niggling issues continue into the 5-series brand as well. So for estate cars, BMW quite frankly suck. You do not know your BMW like you think you do. A 330d is pretty much the same as a 335d as well, just you pay extra for the 5 on the 330 is how I see it. 0.3 seconds quicker 0-62mph on a 335d over a 330d equates to an extra £5000 cost to you before you add in the extras, like extra tinted glass, professional media, etc, etc. So do not try and talk down to me again mate, because I will tear you a new arse hole and put you in your place. Many thanks.

+sambozauk I'm actually paying £2000 less for my new 335, than I did two years ago for the 330. Even though they have the same options. In fact, the new one has more. Don't ask me how that works. I think I my arsehole already get ripped by the BMW dealer on the first deal, so , thanks, but don't need a new one tearing. lol

[@number8mikee]

***** Mine is an M-Sport with the adaptive suspension option. I don't find it uncomfy at all. I did have a 1 series M-sport as a courtesy car a month back. Now that was uncomfy. Sorry, but I Love mine and can't wait for the new one to come.

[@KiwiGraggle]

I think you are from Sussex, Surrey, Kent or Hampshire. You just have this way of acting that they are like in those parts. Fake I think the word is called. You are trying to impress me, and it really is not working. I can not be impressed when I have owned this car, fully loaded on a 64 plate in white, all the singing all the dancing extras, but it was shite for comfort. You obviously do zero miles and probably just potter around the village near Goodwood or something yes?. On completely flat roads, like Germany, yes?. Dumb ass. Look I do not care if you are buying one, I had a fully loaded one as I have said before, so why would I be impressed with you buying a car that I find is overrated?. Makes no sense really does it to tell me that you are buying one, when I know what they are like already?. Get out of your bubble of BMW only and check out other brands. BMW's can be quite a boring vehicle with little soul in them. German efficiency has its problems. No soul and become quite common.
