BMW 3-Series Coupe 2007

I love the car but get it with 100k mile warranty because it’s so expensive to fix. There is no other car on the road like it. It flies like a rocket and corners like a jet plane. Wow wow.

I love the car but if you’re thinking about getting one, make sure you get a 100k mile warranty because it’s so expensive to fix. There is no other car on the road like it. It flies like a rocket and corners like a jet plane. Wow wow.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320i M Sport Coupe 2007

After 30000 miles I’m wishing I had stuck with Audi! The 320i m Sport Coupe is great to look at, classy and subtle but it has a host of mechanical problems that never seem to get sorted. There was horrific clutch judder which BMW claimed was a common software issue that was only resolved with a new clutch and fly wheel in addition to the software update. The 6 speed manual gearbox regularly refuses to go into first. BMW claiming there is nothing wrong and its only a trait of the M sport box. The car would continually go into limp home mode. This was fixed with a new coil pack and all the injectors being replaced however there is still the odd unexplained loss of power. The car has also suffered a long list of minor electrical and sensor problems keeping it as a regular visitor to my local dealer. A dealer who somehow manages to charge £245 for a 225/40 R18 Bridgestone runflat that kwikfit charges £150 for! All in all it looks nice on the driveway but everywhere else its a massive let down.

BMW 3-Series Coupe Manual 2007

I have a problem with hesitancy on pulling away from a standstill, e.g. traffic lights and roundabouts; the car becomes very jerky. The car has recently had a software upgrade from the main dealer but the problem still persists. Any ideas?

Gez Yorkshire, England

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320i 2007

Great car all round with a few small niggles. For a coupe this is a decent 4 seater. Looks as good as BMW coupe’s costing 15 grand more. Can cover the miles in great comfort and refinement. MPG loads better than previous petrol models as you have the stop start system which you get used to very quickly. 320i is a little low powered and feels slow to pick up from a standstill due to the weight. I expect diesel to be better in this respect. BMW legendary quality slipping as the years go by. I suffered from 2 cam sensors failing & very spectacular oil burn up on a fast trip. Interior material for seats is cheap and I would recommend leather option for those who will keep the car. And BMW; get rid of these terrible rock hard run flats. They cost the earth to replace and are not commonly available - could catch you out on a long trip. Can’t get punctures repaired on them so £200 a pop you have to pay - it’s plain daft. I give it 4 stars but would give it 5 if the tyres were sorted and trim is better than the Ford level used.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320i MSport 2007

I have just handed back my 320i MSport after 2 year PCP. I had mixed feelings on returning it. While I loved the car for its looks, driving position, smoothness, and build integrity but I had issues with reliability which soured the relationship. Mine was one of the first MSport cars with the new 170bhp 2litre engine and efficient dynamics and this may have been the cause of some of my problems. Having owned an E48 318i Coupe previously it was an interesting comparison. The engine was smooth and revved well up to its 7000rpm limit but lacked low down torque. It stuttered intermittently on take off and needed 4000 revs to really wake up and while it got quicker while I had it, these characteristics never changed. While the E48 coupe was slower it had more torque low down and was more economical according to the trip computer. The old one used to average over 36MPG while the new one with Stop Start, 6 gears and all the efficient dynamics struggled to reach 35MPG. I have never had so many issues with a new car. When I first picked it up the steering felt odd. This was one of the first electric power steering implementations which I initially put it down to. However after about 15 minutes on the motorway it stiffened up causing you to over-correct to the extent it was noticeable by passengers. When I took it to the dealer the tech would not let me drive it home and replaced the rack. No recall was ever issued for this. In addition I had separate injectors which failed on two occasions dropping the car into limp home mode with a top speed of 60MPH and the worry it was going to die altogether. Each time BMW refused to replace all the injectors, only the faulty one under warrantee until a recall was issued and they were all replaced anyway. I also had a cam seal failure which was also subject to recall but failed before I could get the car into the dealers. To see your new car disappear on a trailer in 3 instances in 2 years is not something I was expecting although the BMW breakdown service is excellent. The car itself was fine, the steering was sharp but lacked true feel, handling and grip were good but a bit skittish in the wet I put down to the run flats. Ride was OK from my point of view, firm but not rock hard but I did get more complaints from rear seat passengers. The seats were comfortable with good room for 4 and an ample boot but tricky to get in and out for older people. All in all a good car but the problems made me feel BMW should be paying me for testing their new technology!

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320d SE 2007

Just picked up my 2007 320d SE Coupe this week. Its Montego blue with cream beige nappa leather interior, a real head turner. Its very economical to drive and the sheer power it packs is brilliant, ideal for overtaking. Everything works like a dream inside and with all the little gadgets in the car I just don’t want to get out. I just love this car. Well done BMW.

Leon, Lancashire

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320d M Sport 2007

I picked up my 320d M Sport Coupe brand new, in June 2007. I was immediately delighted with its performance and styling. As previous posters have mentioned, it attracted looks from passers by immediately... this was in the days when the coupe was rare, and the M Sport variant almost unseen! Quickly, I had a turbo problem... a complete lack of power, which fortunately didn’t cause a dangerous situation, and was solved despite the car being with my local BMW dealership for 2 weeks. In recent times, it has had 2/3 niggles, involving trips to the dealers, and the odd 1/2 night stay with a hire car. However, I do still love the car... it’s in Le Mans blue, which is gratifyingly rare, and still attracts positive comments (when it’s clean!) Economy is outstanding for a car with its performance. It might not have the same growl as the 330d or 335d, but it uses half the fuel, and will get me there just as quickly.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 335d. 2007

Ive had my 335d m sports now for 16 months and still after all that time it puts a smile on my face, its quick, looks the part, and even better still its returning me 32mpg on average. I’ve been thinking recently what car I should purchase next? I can’t think of any other car on the planet that will give me power, economy and out and out driving experience. The only downside is the depreciation! I paid 44k brand new and you can now pick up for around 30k at around 12 months old!! So my tip is buy a 12 month old model it will have taken a major kicking already!!

Tony Hazell, Surrey

BMW 3-Series Coupe 330iSport 2007

This replaced a 9-month old 335d Touring that rattled and squeaked from new. Despite the local dealer’s valiant efforts the oil-burner was never right. This coupe is like waking up from a bad dream - everything works as it should, it is blissfully quiet and smooth and handles like a dream. On a run it regularly returns 35+ mpg and is near silent around the legal(ish) limit. True, the ride is firm but this is a sports coupe and the seats are superb.

BMW 3-Series Coupe 325 Coupe SE 2007

Decided on this car after falling in love purely with it’s looks and am happy to say she drives ten times better than she looks. It is a real honey with smooth power delivery and awesome handling, DSC on or off. Returns surprisingly good mileage figures too. My second BMW and very impressed.

Trevor Chapman, London

BMW 3-Series Coupe 320d M-Sport 2007

Great Car and (surprisingly) a really great dealer. I can highly recommend the www.kentbmw.co.uk website and the service that the Broad Oak Group provide. The car is superb and looks terrific. I love the way it drives. It is really powerful but economical thanks to its stop-start system in traffic. This part took a bit of getting used to but I am now loving the economy. I was unsure about buying a car on the web but I am now a convert thanks to Broad Oak BMW in Canterbury, Kent. They kept all their promises, kept me informed of progress and there were no nasty hidden extras. They made it simple and straightforward. Best of all for my convenience they delivered the car to my work which was fantastic service. I have had some poor experiences in the past with BMW dealerships but the guys at Broad Oak are different. Try them!
