"This is my second 3 series. I traded in my 335 coupe for a 328 sedan M Sport. The lower power and torque is very noticeable but thats what happens when you lose two turbos. I wish it had more power but truthfully it has plenty for its purpose. Steering and response is amazing. I feel all I have to do is think it and the car responds exactly how I want. This is a Sports Sedan people so of course it may feel tighter than you hoped. BMW builds cars for people who like to drive and feel one with the machine. If youw ant a cusion ride go back a Cadilac. If you are a driving enthusiast than BMW is for you. The car handles better than anything I have driven, even sports cars, and this thing stops in a controlled hurry when you need it to. Interior I find pleasant and mine has every option they could cram in a BMW. I love the easy to use and very informative Nav, the upgraded Digistal Harmon/Kardon Surround sound is AMAZING!! This thing sounds better than a theatre and is probably my favorite option since I do a lot of driving. The notes are clear, the bass smooth crisp, and I have yet to have any osrt of problem with any genre of music. The moonroof is smooth and so quiet that I forget I have it haha. The leather seats (heated front) are comfortable and provide great support and adjustability. I have 11k miles on it and it still smells like new leather. I went with Black Sapphire outside and black leather insinde with alum panels instead of that old man wood look. The overall ride I find to be nice and responsive, and although its a little tighter than a Lincol or Cadi, that is what I like about it. I do not like the word "tight" to describe it as that sounds negative so I will use Agile. I bought this car over the Lexus because of that fact and how it performs in all driving conditions (highway, street, stop and go etc). The turning radius is incredible (easy u turnsin tight spots) and the interior is quiet under all conditions. My ownly two gripes I guess are the lack of power (but again that is because I am use dto the twin turbo 335) and the transmission kid of intermittantly lagging or seeming to not know what to do when you initially start or drop the hammer. The other is after paying the 49k sticker, the trade in value now is only 30k. That is a huge depriciation that I guess is a result from all the 328 leases that businesses do. They flood the market and even the rare M Sport suffers."

"Not the handling or transmission this car deserves. Down shifts are abrupt and cars needs to be driver very hard to be appreciate. Run flats are an insult. My Mini and A4 feel more stable at 80 MPH."

"I test drove a 328xi and 335xi today. After reading for years how great this car is, I was really looking forward to finally experiencing the great BMW 3 series . The 328xi was so slow I thought I was driving a 1980's diesel. Then I drove the 335xi. From all the reviews and videos I had seen I expected impressive acceleration. NOPE!!! This engine is also a DOG. How does this engine power the larger BMWs? The interior is low grade for the $ and it it has a very small back seat. I may buy the 328xi for my daughter so she can't get speeding tickets."

"I've wanted a new BMW for years now and I finally did it. All I can say is, I should've done it long ago. I absolutely LOVE this car. If you have the option, definitely get the M-Sport package. It changes the whole look and really adds to the car for only $2,300 more or so."

"Purchased a new 2011 BMW 328i in September with value and premium packages. Severely discounted as a result of the new 2012 design. This is an excellent car, with a terrific ride (just make sure you don't get the sport package). The size is just right for a sports sedan, and the naturally aspirated inline 6 is a terrific engine. Steering feel is great, communicates nicely. BMW got it right in the last year of this models production."

"I had a 530 which I loved but didn't want to think about possible expenses as the car passed the 90,000 mile mark.. Am very impressed with 328's performance, style and comfort. It's new. Hopefully, it will be reliable even beyond the 4 year warranty and maintenance package."

"Love the car, traded in 2006 325 XI for a 2011 328i, only concern is how well will the 328i handle in the snow. Car is used for all purposes, including transporting grand kids to and from school at times. Car handles well and sound system is top notch. On the weekends I'm a cool, hip grand dad. Will always drive a BMW."

"I have had NO issues with this car. I have 17,000 miles on the car. And so everything is great. My only complaint is that it is under powered for a $45k car. This car should have at least 300hp minimum. Its embarrassing when a $25k car can accelerate faster. My next car will be a BMW 550i xdrive bigger with more HP. :)"

"I have a 328i hard top convertible and love it!!! Very comfortable for 2 but not much room in back seat. Gets good gas mileage and so fun to drive. Would recommend for a family of 1 or 2 unless small children. Trunk is very small when top is down. But this is a fun, sporty car not made for family outings! No regrets :-)"
