"This is our 2nd 328, and we really love the model. We bought the hardtop convertible and couldn't be happier. The styling is superb and the ride is unmatched. BMW does not make the interior displays and instruments very flashy or overly detailed (except possibly the idrive) but all of the controls are easy to use and practical. As a tall person, I can appreciate how much lower you can sit in the car than my 328 sedan, which really minimizes the wind with the top down. My kids report that the rear seats are comfortable and the mechanisms for letting someone into the back are handy. The handling and overall feel on the road is signature BMW, and the MPG is nothing to brag about. Overall, a very reliable model, and very sporty!"

"I had a very good experience with sales advisor Bobby. Felt like advising rather than just selling, which was highly appreciated. I will definitely come back for my next purchase."

"If you are looking for an everyday ride that can also bring some fun back into daily driving, look no further. BMW 328i E90 model is the last one before 2013 release of new 4 cylinder Turbo Charged engine... inline 6 does an awesome job while keeping great gas mileage. I had to get a 6-speed since that is what I wanted for me and to teach my kids how to drive a car 'old school'..."

"I bought a ?09 328 Sprt pack. Convertible brand new with the keyless entry. The car looks great drives great and is very reliable if you want more power go for the turbo or the M3. I never had problems with the hard top, never liked or had mechanical problems in 4 years so don?t be afraid when buying a hard top convertible from BMW. It had some minor issues, the black plastics from the interior moldings started pealing on the 2nd year but it was replaced as it was under warranty, also the trimming on the windshield started to crack due to the rain and sun (not garage kept) also replaced under warranty. It has some issues with the key, even with a brand new battery you have to be like 10feet away from the car in order to work. Also if you like to upgrade or ?PIMP your ride? this is not the car for you, if you replace any lights interior or exterior it will show on the panel, if you change the tires or alter the suspension it will show in the panel. Any little thing you do to the car it will show in the panel after a few cosmetic changes my dashboard looked like a x-mas tree! So I took everything out and it was ok. Overall I was really happy with the car until I lend it to my girlfriend and she crashed it head first with a minivan! All the airbags were deployed and she dint had a single scratch, she was ok but the car.. Total lost which means that is a super safe and reliable car!"

"The E90 is a fifth generation BMW, and one of the most rugged and robust of all BMWs. The engine is a beast and provides one with all the power you need. These cars are made to drive. This is my 3rd BMW, and I will continue with BMW. I have exceptional service from my dealership. BMW has tons of loyal owners who not only return to purchase another BMW, but owners who refer their family/friends to BMWs. Don't get me wrong....I love German engineering (Audi, Mercedes... you can't go wrong), but I prefer BMW."

"to me this post 2009 updated exterior design is the best of all entry level luxury cars. It's agressive yet very clean. Handling is the best in it's class as well. Only 2 minor complaints - run flat tires (expensive, noisy, don't last as long as conventional ones) and slight hesitation when you push accelerator after a complete stop."

"I have owned a number of BMW's, as well as numerous VW, Audi and Porsche cars. I appreciate the feel German cars typically provide, and I have enough experience to keep my expectations realistic. The post-facelift E90 3-series design ('09-'11) is sleek and elegant - much nicer than the earlier ('06-'08) version. The driver environment, instrumentation and controls is excellent. Comfort is excellent all around, and back seat space is much improved over previous 3-series. I didn't want the additional cost and maintenance of the turbocharged 335i. The 230HP 3.0L inline-6 is more-than-adequate for 98% of driving situations. Regardless of whether it's mated to an automatic or manual transmission, it's quite strong. Fuel economy is better also - even driving aggressively, I average 22-25mpg. Handling and road manners are, as expected, outstanding. The standard run-flat tires ride a bit hard, but those stiff sidewalls actually help the handling even more. With the sport package though, it borders on rough if the road surfaces are lousy. In my opinion, the 3-series lives up to it's reputation as a driver's car. My only significant disappointment - the shifting action in my manual transmission car prefers relaxed driving. When you want to accelerate and shift rapidly, it resists. Even in regular commuting, it's quite notchy for a BMW. Gear changes need to happen hundreds of times a day, so this is really annoying - particularly in a sports sedan! Yes, the dealer has checked it out. Yes, it feels like other E90 328i's I've driven since. Yes, there are numerous threads on 3-series internet discussion boards about it. Bottom line: it's a great driver's car...unless you choose the manual transmission that's supposed to make it a better driver's car, but it doesn't."
