It?s a great car if it fits your needs. I?ve had no issues during my almost two years of ownership, but your mileage may vary. Get the BEV instead of REX as the latter are prone to a lot of issues, and it?s slower. You may be able to get an incredible deal on these cars these days.

Thanks for the advice; I was concerned about those thin tires and our choppy roads. I suppose it's not an issue.

It is supposed to be a city car, so if you live in rural area this is not for you. In the city and suburban areas it handles normal road conditions fine. The instant torque from the electric motor feels really good even compared to N55/B58, although after 30mph it will fall far behind. However in most of the stop and go situation in and around the city, there is just no comparison to i3. The infrastructure is catching up and a lot of places offers L2 charging. So depends on where you leave it could be a very compelling choice.

Thanks; I live in a suburban area that is densely populated. Average speed for every trip is no more than 29mph, max speeds being 45-50. My longest trip in it would be no more than 60 miles total and the average trip would be between 16-25 miles. Sounds like it would suit my needs fairly well but it would also be a "second car for short hops"

Came from a 97 ford escort to an 08 hyundai accent to a 2012 nissan frontier pro4x and now finally after years of day dreaming and putting in the hours. I finally got into my 2014 328 i Xdrive. First of many bimmers to come.

[Billfitz]

Congrats, but this is the F34 forum.

[Tameautumn]

Guys - not so much coming to F34, but in fact now leaving it after 3.5 great years

From Monday I should be on the G31 Forum

[Lappy501]

Out with the 2013 m135i,

In with the 2014 328i GT


I have great things to say about both.
As regards the move from IL6 to IL4, zf8 speed in both, taking into consideration some simple handling mods on the 34, my over riding conclusion is this.

I miss the harder pull and the spicey noises.

Thats it. Otherwize the 34 is a perfect all around car imo.

[NYBMWBrian]

328i to 335i GT, much bigger 3 for sure, higher ride height also- I was not a fan of this

[Bassta]

Come from Audi A4 1.8T FWD (240HP with revo-technik chip)


Now 3GT 335 XDrive 405HP (With A2Perfomance chip + Supersprint Downpipe) - Its amazing!


P.S. Hi from Russia!

The higher ride height is one of the reasons I bought mine.

last car is still my current car - E220CDI. I am eyeing up a 335D GT in white at the moment and currently in negotiation with the dealership.

Hopefully it goes well and I get the car next week.

[F34GT]

Came from a 2005 Audi A3 2.0 TDi Sportback 6 Speed DSG. Picked up my new baby last week

A pristine 2015 BMW (F34) 335d XDRIVE M SPORT GT AUTO, 230kw (313HP) in Estoril blue. One happy owner

'SNAP', same car but without the chip mod :-)

From a BMW E60 525D to 335D Xdrive GT with Plus Pack.
The F34 GT wasn’t the planned purchase as I’d expected to get another 5, or possibly a 4. The 4 felt small inside and and when I happened upon the GT in the showroom I really liked the looks and the grin after the test drive sold it!

[ph47mf]

gotta say these GTs is quite rare in the UK, which i absolutely love. 320D saloon is everywhere though.

[Sandlapper]

My Subaru Forester's days are numbered. I'm picking up my new 2019 GT at the performance center next week. It has most of the bells and whistles. I've been driving this Subaru since 2004, so I feel like I've earned it!

[PJ Gross]

New within the last few months to a '15 F34 335x. Previously I had a supercharged and worked over 2005 CTS-V and prior to that a tweaked 1996 Impala SS.
I'm not sure if I'm feeling the F34 yet, but its great that my 4 yr old can't kick my seat if I leave it in my position!


Here were the previous the day I sold the SS.

Since 1 month i am the proud owner of a 2015 328I GT Xdrive. Before i drove a bmw 320i sedan (F30).
With 3 boys i needed the space and i was always fond of de coupe shape of the GT models (3GT as well as the 5GT).

[APEXistud]

I came from a 08 Mazdaspeed 3 with a decent amount of mods on it. I wish I could have kept both so I would leave this stock.

[BNTLY]

VTA, AC transit, and BART

[admranger]

2016 X5 40e and a 2011 M3. So I smushed them together and wound up with a 2018 330i xdrive GT. Life situation changed (a lot) so this makes the most sense for me.

It was supposed to be delivered tonight, but I haven't heard from the driver yet. Maybe tomorrow...
