2012 BMW 3-Series Review

Jeff Glucker with Hooniverse.com reviews the 2012 BMW 3-Series, and specifically the 335.

[@nujabeez6573]

The ultimate drving machine

[@bebeto6861]

yes, you are correct

[@glassscrean]

This is probably the best review of the 3 series I have ever seen!

[@laguna4428]

(former BMW sales guy here)...This is Mineral Grey. It's a little deceptive in the film because it looks lighter (and better) when the direct sunlight hits it... but trust me it's Mineral Grey. This car is not available in Space Grey. Also FYI it is a Sport Line with 'Coral Red finishers' and a manual tranny which is actually rarely ordered by dealers. Let me know if you have any questions about this car.

[@MrZoltos]

One of the best car tests!

[@pittapitta501]

i love bmw manual transmision...

[@ub69hs]

i think you right about the frozen grey....checked it out and absolutely love it....much thanks for your info and response

[@SerwerShwan]

ive just gotten the c class 2012 sport package... and i gotta say im in love with it !

[@eugenechelseafc89]

congrats man, i know the feeling,, hope it meets your expectations.

[@drdj69]

i think the bright sun light is making the cars colour look just awesome, it is a great colour.

[@vena936]

Sweet! Congrats on your new 3 series! I just came back from dealership to test drive a 550i. It was a very nice car and the HP is powerful but a little more expensive than what I would have hoped for. Now I'm not sure if I'll decide on the new 3 series or the 2011 550i.

[@iservworldwide]

Great review.. very informative.

[@jeyanthkrishnan]

The start stop system of the clutch is to save fuel. BMW says it improves fuel efficiency by 20%. I think it is important to save fuel.

[@AEKARA27]

Great review. Just a few more days and my Alpine 335i 6-MT will be here. if any of you are in the market for a 50k sport sedan make sure you drive this car, IMO its still the best in class.

[@dieno2020]

Am loving the show off!

[@meh-hair-Vaughn]

Wow the silver colour is amazing!!!

[@edward_lee]

I just found this out today about my 2013 3-series.. those Presets don't have to be radio stations. They can be the way you want the screen to be laid out. So 1 -> Turn off split screen, 2 -> Split scren nav, 3 -> Sirius XM Lithium, 4 -> Navigate Home, etc..

[@muzzydk1910]

i want this car sooo bad..

[@nikolapopovic2406]

Did u buy it?

[@mohsenadbz88]

yes sir, the new F30 3 series lineup includes the 328i N20 2.0L inline 4 cylinder twin scroll single turbo w/ 240hp and the 335i N55 3.0L inline 6 cylinder twin scroll single turbo w/ 300hp...hope that answers your question

[@LamboSpyder99]

excellent launch

[@LamboSpyder99]

color availability depends on your country/region... so you need to check the store....it has to be some shade of grey/silver

[@3L3CTR0static]

Thanks dude just have to wait a couple of days :)

[@rudolfnn]

It is the Sportline, because of the e.g. red interior line instead of a blue line. Or watch the front bumper.

[@FreeSkillsStyle]

How long does it last in term of miles? How long can you keep it?

[@StupidNub]

BEST REVIEW EVER. Can't believe Mila Kunis called you in the middle of the video, that's so cool man.

[@darkbolton]

As others have said, it looks like Mineral grey. I've just ordered one in that colour and there was just one other grey which was a much lighter shade. Think it was called space grey.

[@vena936]

By the way, the car in the video is it a sport line or the M line? Thanks!

[@jeyanthkrishnan]

Good video, you excluded fuel efficiency and the colors offered.

[@3L3CTR0static]

getting it in 2 weeks, lets see how it goes

[@vena936]

Help! Can I get some suggestions on what color bmw I should get whether it should be a white one or the liquid blue matallic that he is driving in this video?

[@pspgadget789]

Thinking about buying the 2012. Is the idrive/Screen come with the standard model?

[@billya5249]

Mr_Ninjawong I think it does

[@jamesf6761]

I have been wondering the same thing. It looks similar but this car seems to be lighter and more metallic looking because of that. Could it just be the lighting?

[@aquapandora]

My current 335xi is space grey metallic.. I think when/if the 4-series (3 series coupe) comes to the US ill be getting the Estoril Blue w/ M Kit :)

[@tweety33noel]

I'm getting this car!

[@HappyHappyPanda88]

how does the bmw 320i compare and driving experience of that cuz its the lowest class sedan that may actually be affordable for many people that enjoys driving but not financially prepared for a 335i. What you say?

[@TheBigBazzy]

beautiful design, even the non M package one is still so desirable.

[@clinv001]

i bought 1 two months ago and love it , then again ive never owned any other type of car other than BMW

[@qaching]

is this a big car? is it bigger than the audi a5?

[@DerHalbeEuro]

Agree. Bought this 3-series 3 years ago in 2017 and didn't regret it once. Most fun to driver car ever. Now i will sell it and upgrade to the bigger 5 series (G30) model

[@jonsutubechannel]

I wish they would some how bring the E46 body style!

[@MrMockification]

Perferct blend of sportiness and luxury, BMW.

[@omkar599]

Can you please do a review of BMW 5 Series.. .. .....

[@jordanj.5681]

What about the cabin space tho.. isn’t it too snug for someone a bit taller

[@jeyanthkrishnan]

Priced the same in India. approx 56,000$.We don't get a 6 cylinder version though.

[@billya5249]

Do all of them come with the screen display system

[@dclay8412]

Of some sort

[@AEKARA27]

The 335i is an inline-6. The N55 engine has been praised by just about every auto publication out there. MPG for such a powerful engine is awesome. I average 26 mph with 60%-40% hwy-city and the car has just 1,200 miles on it. If you go with the 328i you are looking close to 30 mpg. Both the S4 and A4 can't come close to this. Consumer reports just reported the new F30 as one of the most reliable.

[@TheCarVlogger]

I'm pretty sure thats sparkling bronze metallic. If not they could have discontinued that color for the 2013 model. Good luck.

[@rudolfnn]

Still i am not sure since i found this post about frozen gray, colour looks slightly different (search for "f30post frozen gray" since it looks like it's forbidden to put her links??)

[@kimjb95]

so is there still 335? i thought they dont make them anymore

[@desertpair2]

You know you can disable the start/stop anytime you want, right?

[@DerHalbeEuro]

Even coding it so it's permanently disable...

[@vincevega1000]

Tight!

[@10camss]

Is that color mineral grey?

[@mohsenadbz88]

I love the way he ended the video...."none of them are going to drive like the 335".....SO TRUE

[@designermonk]

This was epic :D "If you buy a car like the 3 series you might wanna know what's going on with the trunk space. It has a trunk...There's space..there's lot of it. Who cares about that? It's a 3 series, let's go drive [closes trunk]"

[@vena936]

I would love to get the 335i but unfortunately a little too pricey so I'll have to settle for the 2013 328i.

[@TheDreamer138]

my 328i is in mineral grey but somehow this 335i in this video look better in mineral grey??

[@TheDeathLord911]

what color is this car? space grey?

[@JeffGlucker]

For everyone curious, it's not Frozen Grey. It's Mineral Grey Metallic. The lighting is throwing you all off.

[@ub69hs]

Can Somebody please please please tell me what this colour is???? Its not liquid blue, neither is it metallic mineral grey.... I need to know please....thank you

[@umi2366]

I want to buy 338i for my first car next year horray! But it's pretty expensive huh

[@mrvhristov]

Why do you compare it to the A4? The S4 is in the class of the 335i, offers more HP and four-wheel drive.

[@danielreckman]

***** agreed

[@fulesmackofule]

He compared their prices. You most probably cannot get an S4 for the price of $38,000.

[@desertpair2]

All-wheel drive, not four-wheel drive. You buy the BMW because it's laid out to be RWD, and it's much sportier while maintaining the comfort you expect from a German car.

[@Artyfil]

And this is why the BMW 3-series is still the industry standard! I'm probably gonna trade one of my kidneys for those two.

[@johnk.lindgren5940]

kiitos

[@ExiledExia]

this guy is an awesome reviewer xD

[@590973]

This guy did a great job on reviewing this car, nd was that mila kunis calling lol

[@mseekles1972]

Anyone knows what colour this is?

[@Six6T]

"none of them are gonna drive like the 335"... so TRUE :)

[@wawalisko]

i bought my first BMW, the same color ¡¡ I am dying for drive it¡ Just 2 weeks...

[@rudolfnn]

Guys my dealer asked the factory about the colour and they told the car in this video must be carwrapped with "frozen gray". Maybe for the best answer we should find the owner of this car??

[@wowerman]

It is a blast untill you get oil leaks,injectors and coils faults, crackly plastic trims,noise and knocking from steering rack aaaaaaand timing chain fails in some engine models.

[@cizzlen07]

I feel like this is truer than ever. I guess I'll just have to test drive one vs an Audi A4.

[@bobratu9029]

I am 6.3 and I don t fit in it.because of the power seats and sunroof there is very little head room.I wanted so much one of this and I ended up buying a vw golf diesel 2015.Brand new the vw was 18.850.The bmw with 23.000 miles was 20.000...In the golf I fit perfect and with the dsg the golf is just fantastic.So,sorry BMW,but the 3 series has to have more space in the front seats for me to consider one.

[@deathknight777]

You do know that you can turn that function off right???

[@Wbrooks01]

I wouldn't describe the 3 as stately, maybe a 7, but not a 3. Great review though!

[@dr.atouisttx]

Hey guys I've had a 2006 bmw 325 and it caused alot of problems, literarly everything got damaged over a 3 year period. So does anyone know about the mechanics of this car? If it's good or if it has negative reviews concerning motor, gearbox,...

[@JeffGlucker]

"I'm sure they've tested it a million times..." That's an allusion to them knowing what they're doing.

[@d3ni55]

here in turkey, we pay 52,000 euro for a 3.20d :/ m5 costs around 250,000 euro.

[@snois2]

4:06 mila kunis lol

[@rudolfnn]

Where do you live?

[@laughnsal]

True Story !!

[@ELGlueckert]

Forgot E21.

[@Ultranationalist941]

Estoril Blue... Thats the best colour for the 3 series

[@rudolfnn]

Welcome-- I also want to know that colour. To me it is not mineral gray and neither i am sure about the wrapped frozen gray. Please search for "f30post 12859359" this guy 'webdither' said he ordered the colour as in this video. But that's mineral gray. So maybe it is and the California Sun makes it more matt?

[@SlowN55]

Mazda 6 2014 FTW

[@ISRAELHOMOSEXUAL]

some bias rewiers said Audi A4 and Merc C class or even Cadillac is better then BMW335... and in fact non of those cars can bring so mnuch joy and pleasure as 335 can give. I drove it, and i say that bmw 335 xdrive is better then even 5 series or 6 series, in factm its the most fun car to drive.

[@Lexlokko]

its black sapphire metallic

[@anonymouswriter448]

The way you say le mans HAHAHA. Lemons

[@easezgin]

I am so f.ing jealous because they sell mid-spec 316i for equivalent 55000$ here. Plus you cannot go for manual. And the petrol costs twice as much.

[@r1cknyc]

3:54 Add a couple of 0s to a 0 is still 0 Lol

[@Davidcyp91]

I have bmw 3.16i 2013 model but this car is sport package. lights and the tires is more better=(

[@felixscorpian]

3 series are the best

[@VanillaCracker]

it's mineral grey

[@hawenam]

a bmw will always look like a bmw..thats why its succesfull...i wished lexus had some more identity...

[@Mvale085]

Mineral Gray

[@danieltomanovic1940]

BMW is much more fun than mercedes

[@77seban]

And Audi ;)

[@user-mk8ch1ew6k]

Yeah but depends what kind of drivinf experience you like. With the equipment my bmw has it still drifts like crazy with a little bit of gas,audi doesnt sobmw it has more of a sporty experience than other sedans etc...

[@chawlalakshay008]

I watch these kind of videos and realize how poor I am....... :)

[@johnk.lindgren5940]

"Fine and dandy line sour candy"

[@timak74]

i think mineral grey

[@prateek523]

0:13 did he just say lemons? someone enlighten me

[@AEKARA27]

LOL. oh really? Never owned one? I am on my 9th BMW sir and just took delivery of my 2013 335i sportline with dynamic handling. Thats after I test drove the S4 extensively. Here is my take on it. Nose heavy, less efficient, and the only plus it had on the E90 335i, better cabin, its a mute point when compared with the F30. The only difference in performance are the tires which i will be rectifying very soon. BMW chose to go with very conservative size tire for fuel economy.

[@yengemir]

Yeng will buy me one

[@r.danielsejas215]

twin turbo, not single turbo

[@MellowOP]

twin scroll single turbo, not twin turbo

[@ganuv]

R. Daniel Sejas no it’s single turbo within tween squalls that blow from two directions. If you don’t know don’t talk.

[@SaturnFIV5]

$55,000 for a 335...I'm beginning to wonder how much the M3 will cost........
