I have a 2011 335i xdrive special edition. Beautiful car and fully fully loaded. I am in love with the handling and the way the car moves at the touch of the gas pedal. It has an m performance package and it growls on start - totally amazing car BUT has too many issues to keep. I have had the car for 2 years and in 2 years the car has been to the dealer 22 times. I have extra warranty and that is what has saved me. Unfortunately this car has become too much of a headache to deal with so I just bought a 435i xdrive. I am hoping there will not be any issues. I have had 5 bmws and the 435 will be my 6th. I have had a 2000 BMW 330ci, a 2009 128 convertible, a 2012 128 coupe, a 2010 328, and this 2011 335. All of my previous cars havent given any problems. I think any 28 series won't. The reliability of this vehicle is not good. I have replaced the water pump and thermostat at 60K, premature worn out ignition coils, blown speakers, and dynamic headlight motor malfunction. two coolant leaks, turbo problems, junction box and fuel pump replaced, now the car has a mind of its own and shuts off when it wants to. the car has 85000 kms on it and I am done with it. I pick up my new car tomorrow. So, if you don't mind regular repairs, you'll be thrilled to drive this car every single day. as well - tires wear very quickly and 19 inch rims have cracked quite frequently - another reason why I am getting rid of it. Enjoy!
