Get the Best Priced BMW 335i Parts

The BMW 335i is an entry-level, compact executive vehicle that is part of the bestselling BMW 3 Series. The vehicle has been manufactured continuously since 2006 and was originally released as a two-door coupe. Just like other BMW models, the BMW 335i is known for its dynamic handling on the road.

The BMW 3 Series had been continuously in production since 1973 and have gone through six generations; however, the BMW 335i had its start with the series fifth generation. As one of 21 trims in the E92 coupe family, the BMW 335i shares many of the features that are available in the E90 saloon family of sedans. Xenon headlamps, automatic climate control, satellite navigation and leather upholstery, dashboard and center consoles are the same as in the E90. However, where the E92 distinguishes itself is in the metallic accents on the door handles, steering wheel trim, and chrome automatic transmission shift levers. The back row no longer seats three but seats two comfortably with a rear center console replacing that middle passenger seat; and frameless doors, retractable arms and a creamy beige leather interiors add to the car's charm.

The BMW 335i was the first Series 3 model that BMW sold with a turbocharged petrol engine. Current models feature 3.0-L twin turbo inline-6 engines with variable valve controls that are capable of going from 0 to 60 in less than five seconds. The X-drive trims include all-wheel drive technology in which computer-controlled clutch enhance traction, stability and control. The 2015 models included an optional Dynamic Handling package with Adaptive M suspension and variable sport seating. The current BMW 335i xDrive Gran Turismo features Driving Dynamics Control and eight-speed Sport automatic transmission with sport and manual shifting modes.

The BMW 335i model has been rated with a "good" overall rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but it's had its share of complaints and recalls. Car and Driver has cited its noisiness on the road, although the noise subsides considerably at freeway speeds. Other issues have included high pressure pump failures which reduce engine performance. In 2010, BMW issued a voluntary recall of 130,000 vehicles outfitted with the twin-turbo engines after network news aired the complaints on live television. The company replaced roughly one-third of these vehicles with new, high-pressure fuel pumps.
