Tis is the best car for me. . Which engine would I choose in these credit-crunched times? The convertible offers a reasonable cargo hold when the hardtop is up, but it shrinks considerably when the top is lowered. The steering feels natural, and the car turns in sharply and predictably at every corner. This car was fast and comfortable from the day we got it.
From the driver's seat, we can tell you that the new 3-series is among the stiffest in its class, with almost no perceptible quivers felt through either the seat or steering wheel. Sports mode is a great feature but this contributes to all the mechanical problems. I sit inside, forlornly looking out of the window at the overcast grey skies that typify the British summer. Might that casting choice have allowed the dynamically scintillating to upstage its otherwise better-performing, roomier, and less-expensive Japanese rival? I am lucky that I am still alive. My other gripe with the 335 is the ride. If you owned something like a z4 or faster then I would suggest upgrading and paying a little more for that power which can be amazing in times of need. If you're a genuine driving enthusiast who still believes that there's just something special about German automotive engineering, virtually any selection from the 328i and 328xi menu could be just what you're looking for.
It has one fault, though. As far as the exhaust note, I don't remember if it was just raw engine noise or the exhaust, but I sport at the tone of this vehicle. So how does the story end? Considering the micro performance margins and the macro price differential, plus that unnerving oil-temperature issue what other final development work is the current 335i owner performing? Like I said, the car has total grip and I had no fear because I never hydroplaned once on the entire trip. Braking and lateral acceleration are nearly identical, though, with fade-free 110-foot stops in each from 60 mph, and 0. The Toyota Prius offers better economy, but it handles like crap.
Meanwhile, the twin-turbo engine provides the kind of acceleration formerly associated with the high-performance M3. Set off with the other half for a weekend trip over some bumpy B-roads for a decent Saturday lunch - and everything came apart. Even the convertible model manages to retain much of the 3's handling pedigree, despite its added weight and loss of structural rigidity. However, I could not see myself driving any other coupe in the price range. Peak torque of 295lb ft wades in at a basement 1300rpm. The front seats have enough firm support to ward off fatigue during a day's worth of driving, while the rear seats are adequately roomy for adults on shorter trips and plenty accommodating for children. I would have to turn off the car for some time and turn back on for the sound to come back.
Each bank of three cylinders is blown on by a small turbocharger, which spool up more quickly than one big turbo serving all six. But the heightened sensations and sense of freedom totally compensate. Although the 328i and 335i share the same 3. Yes, I was talking in mph and one more thing, one of the few poliza I ran across on an autobahn was at this time and he did not make a move, know that's another confidence booster. The seats are a step back from the e46. Once we got past that, a week later it needed a new air conditioning evaporator coil. The 328 gets about 17-18 mpg in the city and 25-28 mpg on the highway, depending on the body style, transmission and drivetrain.
Definitely not as smooth of a job as my previous models. But on the way back we put the roof down. Changes from convertible to coupe in 23 seconds Hardtop convertibles offer numerous advantages over their soft-top competitors, including coupe-like quietness and excellent visibility when the top is up. I am having the same problem on my E92 M3. The G37's low, bobbed tail limits trunk space to a convertible-like 7.
Fast forward to scene two. Run flat tires are an abomination. This being Britain in 2008, I was hardly surprised when it rained on Friday and Saturday — stymieing my hopes to whack the roof down and enjoy the rays. It didn't exactly win my praise. In several comparison tests Edmunds.
Not a fan of no spare tire idea but so far never had a flat tire issue. The cars are running neck and neck as we wheel into Alabama International Dragway to take a few objective performance measurements. I bought a brand new 2008 335i. When I bought the car, the saleman at that dealership did not disclose that information to me. How bout those 2010 models; heard any good news on the web about these jewels? Few cars were as easy to drive with haste and enthusiasm as the outgoing 335i, and the revised version does nothing to alter that. The sun is out on Saturday afternoon, which is perfect for a post-coasteering warm up.
Each sports a new engine, for example. Second-gen direct injection features on every petrol engine, and brake energy regeneration a fancy name for a decoupling alternator is standard on every Three. Cons: -Still can't seem to get comfortable in the seats. I owned the car for one year and had to get coil replace and value gasket cover twice. That did not work and I had to take my car back and my dealership had it for a week while they worked on the Idrive unit. I would not hesitate on recommending the 335i to anyone. I am approaching 6 months of ownership with my Space Gray 2008 E92 335i coupe, so I thought I would provide some feedback to current and future owners.
