Nothing is outdated. It's a classic beautiful car

3 months in, e91 2.5 diesel M57TU2, changed all filters and fluids upon purchase, DPF was cut out, had a problem with keyless go and keyfob not working, fixed the wires (they tend to break in the boot on e91 models).
So far an amazing vehicle, I got a great package, pretty much all the extras, gonna put in some LED angel eyes now and so forth :)

Another great review, honest non bias and really useful information, happy you did another one on the 3 series more in depth

Add on an aftermarket 10 inch android system, backup camera, tan colour seat covers from local shop .. a new battery, new tires and chrome door handles and boom... you have a luxury car that looks pretty contemporary...

4th 3 series I've had - a 320d - and it's the best I've had. Pulls like a train, lovely and comfy and at 9 years old all I've changed have been tyres and filters. BMW's local dealer/stealer offered me £3750 for a newer one with a fancy dashboard, I didn't walk out of the dealer's - I ran!!

I absolutely LOVE my 2011 E90 328i with xDrive. It was one of the last E90s built (in late December of 2011, sold new in 2012) and has been well looked after. I purchased it last August with only 84, 000 KM on it.

It drives like nothing else. It is LEAGUES above my Mum's Jeep, my Dad's Mustang, and my Dad's F-150. It is also the best looking 3-Series, in my opinion. Nothing beats the silver exterior, black interior with woodgrain trim and iDrive.

The only car that ever came close to my E90 was an E38 7-Series.

great review. I have a BMW E91 with N46 engine which was an extreme oil burner due to valve stem seals which dried up. it is good to mention this important issue as well

I have been driving my E90 2010 325d 3 liter twin turbo, 6 cylinder engine. I must admit and swear its a beautiful car loaded with tech and performance. I love my car and it has been a great car never given me any issues. I strongly recommend everyone to purchase similar model.

I had a 2008 330d manual and it was the best car I ever owned, shouldn't have sold it.
The only problems I had during my 7 years and 50, 000 miles of ownership were DPF ( probably due to doing too many short journeys ) and one of the front suspension springs failed on my driveway.
Also the I-drive knob/unit had a soldering fault which was fixed by removing it (easy) and reflowing the solder ( easy ).

Had the car re-mapped shortly after buying it and that added about 50bhp and 100nm, that was a brilliant upgrade and would strongly recommend it.

The in line 6 cylinder none turbo is a tank, it will never die

I have a 2008 e90 335i and here's my opinion. Replace motor mounts with SOLID rubber ones. Any type of fluid leak FIX, don't think "Eh it's not much I'll get to it eventually." Especially the oil filter housing gaskets. Buy replacement parts that have warranty, I had to replace the water pump twice due to bad gaskets on the pump warranty helped big time. Check the allignment, the rears will especially get eaten up fast if misalligned. To sum it up I would take it to a BMW certified (or reputable shop) to do a deep inspection also save a good $1500 on top of buying price for potential issues.
