Pulled the trigger on a 2011 335i!

Yes that's right. After roughly 5 weeks of owning a brand new Euro 330i E92, BMW comes to the conclusion that the car is a complete LEMON

here's a link with some pics from a month ago..

So, i was told i could order a new car again and I actually went with the 135i last week, but realized that it just wasn't the right car for me and quickly change my order today to the E90 335i.

Here's the spec sheet, car will be produced in mid December.

2011 E90 335i
Le Mansblue metallic
Special Edition M Sport package
Ferric grey 18 inch Msport wheels
Black chrome tailpipes
Alcantara seats with blue stiching
cold weather package
premium package
moonroof
Harman/Kardon sound system
USB interface
Manual transmission

And, so the waiting game begins once more! I'm really exhited about the color, Le Mansblue looks fantastic on the E90LCI! Ive seen some tunes are already out there for the N55... its gonna be a great car!

Hopefully it will be just as good as my last E90 335i (LINK) - only in blue this time!

Interesting... can't wait to see the new pictures. The last e90 looked very sharp.

Wow sounds like a great car! You have 135i on order in your profile; is it a 135 or 335?

I think this is the first I've heard of a 330i lemon... Those things seem to be bulletproof for the most part.

I've never seen one lemoned/bought back but the Europeans still get 330s with a different motor than the 2006 330 we got, it has direct injection and at least one fuel pump failure has been reported in the FAQ by a member in the UK

Sorry, I just changed that. 135i is cancelled. It's all about the 335i

Yeah I seem to forget about the implementation of DI on their 330s....

Wow. If I got a lemon from a car company, I don't know if I would buy their products anymore.

Anyways, congrats on the car, and hopefully you like it even more than your old 335! (and obviously more than the 330 also!)

what happened to the 330i? why was that a lemon?

Castel · 10-28-2010, 01:22 PM

The previous white E92 looked great! Good that they allowed you to return it. Why did you you decide to go for the sedan?

Manboy · 10-28-2010, 01:53 PM

I cant really describe in details, but there was something major with the engine and transmission and also a problem with the suspension. The engine and transmission needed to be replaced, they were not sure if they needed to replace the suspension. Luckely i have a very good relationship with my dealer and they sorted me out with good style

I decided to go back to the E90 because i really think the LCI looks butch as hell with Msport- very masculine to say the least, especially in LM Blue
