I have to laugh when they rave about german engineering. German engineering = awesome to drive but won't last long. These cars are so unreliable. Good luck when your warranty expires.
@bk11121988 No. The 3 Series badged as a 2012 was sold throughout 2012 and production stopped in October or thereabouts. The all new 3 Series, which will be available in Sport, Luxury and Modern versions, will be out I think later this month and will be badged as a "2013" BMW.
Problem with the 328i is the harsh engine breaking when you let up on the gas...the steptronic transmission down shifts immediately and harshly. At slow speeds, and in stop- and-go traffic, this is enough to get many nauseous as the car does not easily coast to a stop. Further, the car emits a very high-pitch sound for 45 seconds every time you open/close any door or the trunk. Finally, the run flat tires give a less than comfortable drive.
Nice car but without soul, Chinese face. Too many technological and electronics stuffs like a Chinese fair but in good stile. Typical vanity fair, try to drive it fast & furious!! I like high speed on the race tracks or uphill with many bends !!!
@nielsboex My statement wasn't based on a mere assumption. Secondly, I didn't realize one had to own "numerous cars of each each model" to make that determination. 1. My father owns a foreign auto repair shop, guess which brand he works on the most? BMW. Mostly b/c of electrical issues. He always tells me never to get own unless there's a good warranty, bound to give trouble. Lastly, based on consumer reports etc, German brands, particularly BMW don't fair very well.
@chigasaki06 It's all relative your typical BMW will have far more electronic systems running your car over any lesser brand such as ford, vauxhall, kia etc so by the law of odds it will go wrong more often. The difference I hold on German cars in general is that the excluding the electronic hiccups the engineering of the car does run supreme and you can see this in the 30 year old Mk1 Golf Gti's still running around still often with the original paint and very little corrosion.

Does the 2012 335i have a different body style than the 2006-11 335i?

@jonglin71 BMWs are completely full of soul, they are brilliant driving machines, no matter what model you are buying, as long as it's a RWD one.

Why would you assume they're not reliable ? How you owned numerous cars of each model ?
