2011 BMW 3 Series Expert Review
In the 35-plus years since its introduction, the BMW 3 Series has come a long, long way. For 2012, the 3 Series has grown into a raft of separate model designations, ranging from the 328i Sedan to the 335is Coupe and diesel-powered 335d Sedan. In between these extremes are more coupe variants, a handful of additional sedans, two wagons and three convertibles, along with availability of xDrive all-wheel-drive (AWD) models.
Driving the Used 2011 BMW 3 Series
For the committed BMW aficionado or someone relatively new to the marque, the driving experience is key to realizing – and benefiting from – your substantial investment. If you live in an area not conducive to even the occasional full-throttle blast, forego the BMW. In fact, you should probably forego individual transportation all together. A balanced platform, communicative steering, composed ride and stop-on-a-deutschmark (now discontinued) braking make for one of the most entertaining experiences in the automotive realm. And with available all-wheel drive (xDrive) and diesel power, that ultimate experience or joy (take your pick) can now be experienced in the snowbelt or by the compulsive greenie. One note of caution: If you live in an area of the country where streets are poorly maintained, avoid the sport suspension. Its benefits on the smooth stuff won’t offset its punishment on the rough stuff. Each 2011 BMW 3 Series model offers a 6-speed manual transmission or, for a fee, a 6-speed automatic. The only two exceptions are the diesel-powered 335d, which comes exclusively with the 6-speed automatic, and the 335is, whose optional transmission is BMW’s 7-speed double-clutch automatic.
Favorite Features
BMW Diesel
We were inclined to suggest the base 3.0-liter six for its essential goodness, but defaulted to the TwinPower Turbo for its almost sublime explosiveness. And then we were reminded of rising fuel prices and the diesel’s 36 mpg highway rating. With the thrust of a V8 and the economy of a four, it’s the right powertrain for the car – and the obvious choice for the times.

BMW’s Ultimate Service
If you have the financial wherewithal to buy or lease a BMW, it’s assumed you have the financial capability to weather the 4-figure service visit. Just because you can, however, doesn’t mean you want to. A BMW may be about the joy of driving, but Ultimate Servce – where everything from oil to wipers to brake rotors are replaced free of charge (during the warranty period) – adds to the joy of BMW ownership.
Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Interior
Few, if any, carmakers know their brand DNA quite like BMW. The 2011 BMW 3 Series is longer, and the greenhouse – in relative terms – is less generous, but the basic 3 Series design rules apply: long hood, short rear deck, and good sight lines to better allow aggressive urban or suburban driving. The 2011 models benefit from modest updates to the front and rear, but these are modest – and do nothing to outdate their immediate predecessor.
Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Exterior
In each of its successive generations the BMW 3 Series grows incrementally. Happily, each growth spurt nets a small improvement in interior comfort. Most of that, however, remains with front seat passengers, who enjoy comfortable and supportive accommodation. The 2011 3 Series is more typically targeted at professional couples and/or youngish families, and is never intended to be the principal people mover. Young professionals and their families will be very happy with the accommodation. For those needing more utility, the Sports Wagon remains in the lineup, as does an all-new X3 SUV for 2012.
Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Standard Features
All BMW models come with a generous level of standard equipment, and all can absolutely kill you – or, at least, kill a budget – with onerous ad-ons in the option column. Choose the high-performance variant of the standard 2011 BMW 335i, the 335is, and you’ll find yourself driving a sport derivative imbued with all that’s good for the performance enthusiast. The 335is upgrades include 20 more horsepower – to 320 – from the TwinPower Turbo, and that power is controlled via Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control. And the "s" provides extensive use of aluminum in various suspension components, sport suspension calibration, and an aero kit. Mounted on 18-inch rims, the tires are staggered in width with 225/40s in front and 255/35s in back. Inside, if you grow tired of the sounds of BMW’s twin-turbocharged in-line-6, you can turn up the standard HD audio.
Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Options
While every imaginable option variance is available on a 3 Series, the 335is Coupe is the notable odd duck. You might reasonably expect leather to be standard on the 2011 BMW 335is Coupe, especially in light of a $51K base price. And you would be wrong. Leather – in a variety of attractive flavors – will cost $1,450, while the Premium Package, affording you a digital compass mirror, BMW Assist with Bluetooth, lumbar support, auto-dimming mirrors and a universal garage door opener will add $2,650. Separate options include navigation for $2,100 and Harman Kardon surround sound for a relatively reasonable $875.
Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Engine
It used to be so easy. A "328" designation conveyed a 2.8-liter displacement, while the "335" would indicate a capacity of 3.5 liters. Despite our disconnect with the nomenclature, we won’t argue with the results. The normally aspirated 3.0-liter in-line-6 produces an ultra-smooth 230 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. The 3.0-liter six fitted to the 335i models boasts twin turbochargers and 300 horsepower in standard guise, and 320 when you move up to the 335is. Finally, the 3.0-liter diesel, also an in-line-6, offers a 36-mpg EPA rating on the highway and 50-state certification. All can propel you from zero to jail in an amazingly brief sprint, and hang out all day on the autobahn – or your version of the autobahn.

How Much Does the Used 2011 BMW 3 Series Cost?
The good news: A 2011 BMW 3 Series can still be for a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) under $40,000. And given its build quality, no-cost maintenance during the warranty period and historically good resale value, it may be no more expensive to own than other sport sedans which mimic 3 Series attributes while rarely matching them. Starting at about $34,600 the 3 Series sedan is the least expensive of the variants, while the wagon starts at $37,000, the coupe at under $38,000 and the convertible hardtop at just over $46,000. For those preferring monthlies to check writing, BMW – in part because of its historically good resale – plays the leasing game about as well as anyone.
