I love the new M3 sedan. But I just can't seem to fathom upgrading and spending another $71k.

This 335i is a blast to drive. Reliable as hell. I've owned it since day 1 with 4 miles on the odomoeter, custom ordered from Regensburg, Germany.

I paid $54k for it out the door in 2009. So right now I'm averaging: $54,000/114k mi = 47.3 cents per mile.

When I get to 180k miles, this car will have cost me just 30 cents per mile.

Granted there were a few minor things needed:

1. water pump and thermostat
2. new shocks
3. spark plugs and coil packs
4. oil filter housing gasket
5. battery
6. oil filter housing gasket

Believe it or not, I did everything myself, other than the shocks (had a shop do it)

Everything else, is stock and running strong since day one. Running Mobil 1 0w40 from walmart.


This car might just last me till the end of the F80 generation M3 life cycle, just in time for the next generation M3 perhaps??

great to hear, keep driving it.

Man that's a smaller, and cheaper, list of issues than I had with my E46 328i in a single year.
It did have 260 000km, but still...

Good to know these cars can be reliable, hoping I have a good run with my 335i
