"Very sporty and should satisfy any normal person's power needs. Gets great gas milege for the power. Comfortable front seats, and plenty of leg and headroom in the back seat. Great, light steering. This is one of the most cool looking car's I've owned, I was in my other BMW and I didn't even recognised it because it looked so nice, The downsides are: uncomfortable rear seat, and lots of hard plastic mostly in rear cabin."

"More heads turn to see who is driving this car than I've ever noticed. It is sleek, cool design and handles like a sport car should. Sound system is superb, with XM radio, advanced speakers and incredible bass."

"The 2012/2013 model year BMW 328i is, subjectively, the best-looking car in its category. The new twin-scroll turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is powerful and responsive, albeit without the silky smoothness and aural qualities of the 2011 model that it replaces. When decked out with the usual array of comfort features, as well as the less-typical options such as the head-up display, BMW Assist, BMW Apps, parking sensors and rear camera, it is a pleasure to own and to drive. Fuel consumption, which is becoming an ever-increasing consideration, is excelent. I can easily achieve over 28mpg in mixed driving. As an overall package, this car bests the competition - I'm thinking C-Class MB, Audi A4 and Lexus IS here. In my opinion, of course..."

"After being a BMW brand loyalist for many years i have to say the new F30 does not live up to the older generations. First off the interior is very very cheap and the seats do not support your back in any way. Now lets talk about the driving characteristics honestly my wife's V6 maxima has a more rememberable driving experience than my 328i and this is supposed to be an "ultimate driving machine" HA! The steering is loose, the engine sounds terrible no matter what RPM you are at, and not to mention the tires that comes with the car are awful it breaks traction under the smallest corners. Now i only had this car for about 2 months before trading it in for a 2011 328i with the straight 6 a much better engine and car all around. So i will leave you with this, if you are on the market for a BMW and if you really want to "DRIVE" it save your money and buy an older certified BMW you will be 10000 times happier."

"I don't regret buying the 4cylinder twin turbo. Its great on gas, has the power, and people take second looks. I highly recommend the headup display. There is no after market parts for this car yet. I have never owned a BMW and would buy this one, maybe next time I'll buy the 335."

"This was my 4th BMW since 2001. I found the 2004 330ci was my best car, but traded it in for a 2012 328i. The 2012 328i had unsupportive seats, the useless seat belt arm was a nusance, the A/C was good but it stopped to take a breath every now and then. The radio dials were good but to many pushes to get where I needed to go. THe cup holders were mounted on the dash by the passenger. It was easier on the old car to just drop my hand without looking and get my drink. I drove it two months then traded it at another location for an older Mecerdes SL550 which I find comfortable and a better ride than the 2012 BMW."

"This car is super to drive and I've put 75k on it without doing anything except required maintenance and new tires. (The run flat tires are very expensive.) The mpg has also been great, perhaps better than what is usually quoted. The only real problem I've had with the car at all is that several interior surfaces (on the steering wheel and doors) started peeling before I'd even put 50k on the car. I have the "leatherette" interior; I wonder if this peeling would have occurred if I had paid for the leather interior."

"Took delivery of my Melbourne red 328i sport line a couple of weeks ago.Aside from being the first 2012 328i delivered here in the Market, the car is really special. The handling pedigree is known but the ride quality wand the rear seat and cargo room is very good.The interior quality would run Audi close.I find no drop in performance compared to me old ride , a accord coupe v6.What remains to be seen is how well BMW's N20 engine is able to handle the poor quality of the fuel here.There are several issues with other turbo engines of BMW, especially the 335 & 535.HOpefully this one is going to be fine.Steve Cropley of Cars Uk & Richard Hammond of Top GEar called the new 320d as the best car ver made. Maybe the 328i is not far off!"
