have owned my 2007 335i for about a year now and I love the car. But with that said the 335i and bmw's in general is a very unreliable car and I would not recommend this car to anyone that is not a true car enthusiast that know how to work on/ loves to work on there own cars. I own a 620whp s2000 and have built a few high hp cars in my garage so I'm very hands on.

This car was over $50,000 new and for it being not that old you can buy 335i for $10,000-$15000 all day. You get a lot of value and car for your money. But the reason this can depreciates so bad compared to many comparable Japanese cars is because of how unreliable the car is and how expensive they are to fix if you don't do the work yourself.

For example my car only had 90,000 miles.
Valve gasket leak. I fixed it with like $20 in parts but a non can guy can expect to pay $1000 for this job

Oil pan leak/gasket. Again I fixed it myself with a $40 part. Again non car guys expect to pay over $1000 for labor

Water pump/thermostate. I did it my self for $400 in parts. Non cars guys I have seen pay $1500-2000 for this job.

My fuel pump filter housing cracked and I was leaking fuel. I fixed it for $100 in parts. Non car guys going to the dealer I would amagine would pay $500-1000 at least.

My turbos are bad. I play to pay $4000 in parts for hybrid turbos. Non can guys can expect to pay an extra $2000 just for labor.

All this in the past year at only 90,000 miles. This is the reason 90k miles people consider a lot for these cars. But I'm use to reliable Japanese cars that go 200+k miles and never break anything

Don't buy a out of warranty bmw unless your a gear head.
