[@isobutyl]

Can we get a 7 year update there?

[@joshsingh2557]

I want to get a diesel 320d version around the 2008/2010 range. Did u have any problems with water leaks or in general problem with this model?

[@naomicela9886]

Picking mine up next week can't wait

[@mbernardo123]

I bought the same white/red combo. They used to be so expensive but they are a bargain now. They are beautiful cruisers. Not very fast but way easier to keep on the road than their turbo brothers.

[@Krezo200]

Im happy with my 335i Fast enough for me 😝

[@obughan2266]

Fix a throttle controller bruh

[@ej063]

if you live in USA as petrol is cheap then get the 330-335 petrol absolutely amazing or if you live in UK like myself then get the 330 diesel. best car ever just make sure it's the M sport tech .

[@briank5798]

After one year of ownership of a e93 335i with 140,00 kms on the clock. Here is my experience. The car is a absolute bargain. In Australia market value for these ‘autobahn cruisers’ are in the (15k - 23k mark). My experience in ownership saw me spend some big bucks to keep this BMW on the road. 500= $ - $1000= $$$ ( running cost ) - springs and bushes $$ - tyres - staggered fit run flat $$$ - brake pads $ - and unfortunately a new gearbox - but this was less expensive that I would have thought $$$ under 5k ( thankfully I had warranty - but still not that bad ) Would I recommend it ? Pros ; -Value for money -Hardtop cabrio -N54 = baby m3 -5 seats -Long and wide wheelbase = stance nation. Cons; -Drinks fuel -Bit of bumpy ride - not the ideal daily driver -Roof can rattle and shake at high speeds -Produces a lot of brake dust - some off us have OCD. - lowering resale value. - occasional maintenance cost. All in all, you won’t regret it - I had so much fun I decided to write about it at 2am 👍🏻🤔

[@ChillOutDude00]

Why did you have to replace so many parts? How many kms did it do before it got to that?

[@Krezo200]

I also bought one last year and had to invest a lot of money to keep it running Electrical waterpump Engine mount Flywheel Summer tires this year probably

[@MrModerate_kane]

Bought today, quick awesome, lovely and quiet, switch to Sport mode for fun, small Ecu remap for 300bhp and 350 torque, yes please but happy with power now.

[@daveio72]

Anyone know how to open the through hatch with the back seat down? Looked at one yesterday but couldnt see how to open it… thanks

[@darknight3050]

2:55 Glad to know it's actually now *proven* ...as BMW 3 series convertibles have used this retractable hard top mechanism from 2007 to 2013 and the 4 series convertibles from 2014 to present.

[@amelia2770]

2022 I want to buy one but I hear negative remarks 🥺

[@TheCaminoGuide]

I just bought my first BMW yesterday. Picked up a 2013, silver, hard-top 328i convertible with only 8,000 miles for $33k. It looks like it was never driven or even sat in. Still smells brand new. Essentially, I got a brand new car with 2 years left on the original warrantee, plus the extra two years for being certified = 4 year bumper/bumper warrantee. What a sweet ride...

[@189kuzco]

Atleast u can enjoy the sun that side... It's always raining here and cold in the uk... But as soon as the temperature hits over 6 degrees Celsius,the roof comes down!

[@Bri11ante]

How's it holding up. Any headaches?

[@spam1712]

This will be mine

[@darkskindeep]

So has it after 6 years?

[@lennardcovarrubias5950]

I have a 2007.... Such a good looking car I put larger wheels on it... I've always said wheels are what shoes are to a suit... The wrong shoes make the suit look bad....zoooom.. Very quick..

[@dhinds5927]

I bought a 2012 basic model. Fantastic car, but have had a few maintenance issues

[@usmxnxmsu]

like what? was it expensive because I’m considering getting one in 6 months

[@vampirebrod9924]

this will be my car at 19

[@ArturoPerez-si2xk]

Nice! Can find it hard top convertible too... Y throw than just soft top

[@spam1712]

One day

[@dewaangvig115]

Logical and meaningful review

[@mickrobo6073]

This is a proper four seater convertible Looks great with the top up or down ,love it ....so much A Joy with Open top motoring 😆

[@rhymegames-puzzlesjigsawst2131]

[@tarekcalligraphe6369]

[@floatfacebook2013]

[@Krezo200]

[@davidsingleton9864]

BMW M3 CONVERTABLE BEST BUY.

[@shirleycarter9210]

Tomorrow . Hopefully

[@meCAFFE]

why the old one?

[@paulyyy09]

anyone know what the ride comfort is like in there, thinking maybe go for this as it looks like a sporty head turned and a soft top which would be cool but i'm more interested if it's a comfortable long cruiser?? either this or an audi A5 i'm probably going for

[@189kuzco]

I drive mine 300 miles home and back every weekend and it's a great drive,seat adjusts to fit all heights,back seats are not the most comfortable but as good as you will get from a convertible.. And all the little extras make a long drive enjoyable...

[@paulyyy09]

the interior looks a bit dull that's another thing that i think i'd take the audi A5 over this, maybe a convertible or maybe the coupe :/ not sure, thanks though it's an idea

[@HRINACAR]

+paulyyy09 Very - just go for 18s

[@singhgurjeet4]

What car model is this??? Do they have a 2016 model with hard top?

[@rscosworthfan]

+Robbie Smith yes this is still the current model

[@rscosworthfan]

yes you are right ade id forgotten

[@alexistulley4327]

got the 3 series in black convertible and I love it

[@alexistulley4327]

Jeff R. Oh I didn't think about doing that. Good shout will look into that today Jeff. Cheers. Know anybody that does it?

[@alexistulley4327]

Really yourself. WOW. How much is the kit and what sort of tools? I can do it as i've done alot of car and motorbike work in the past.

Petrol or diesel? for a 21 year year old living in London

[@peterschwarz6251]

What class of people usually drive this 3 series car?

[@fy5915]

that don t care about their money, they didn t really work for them....or they are snobs and they want an old BMW

[@Krezo200]

Or people who love engine sound and open roof (me)

Mind you, the petrol 6 cilinders can be quite unreliable. (fuel pump problems etc.) However, I wouldn't want to drive anything else for the money at the moment.

[@BrateTebra123]

dekster14LP the L4 are much more unreliable

[@vaibhavsirvaibhav]

These add in beginning really sucks

[@189kuzco]

finding it hard to fit my new born baby seat in mine... lol.. almost have to take the roof down to do it... shoolboy..lol

[@TheCaminoGuide]

You have your priorities a little mixed up. Baby goes in the trunk, not on the leather...

[@189kuzco]

Greg Robinson now why didn't I think of that?? Good call fella!

[@jkelly84]

cool kuzco How did it go with the car seat in the end? I'm thinking of getting one as a responsible soon-to-be new father moving from a 2 seat MX-5...

[@189kuzco]

still going strong!

[@189kuzco]

John Kelly well it goes in, with the rear window down and front seat fully forward you can maneuver it in, but i have to put the seat in then baby afterwards. you should get one of those baby carriers because if you go shopping, you cant take your pushchair.. let us know if you get one..

[@fy5915]

not reliable...
