2014 BMW 328 consumer reviews

Got this 2014 328d used. I just needed it to drive around town. Interior looks like it's from 1999 and the styling is really bare bones compared to other use cars of around that time. Weird quirks like an audible chime when it's cold outside. This is the same chime that sounds if your engine is overheating. Good idea lol. Also 2x to open the door, unlock the car, open the hood, turn off the car. Who designed this?

The pick up is incredible. The versatility of Ecco/comfort/sport mode makes for both fun driving and practical cruising experiences. The details are carefully crafted typical of a German auto!

I bought this car used back in 2016 with around 27,000 miles for under 20 grand. Overall as most people might warn you the costs of owning a bmw is no where near cheap. As this is not your average run of the mill camry or accord. Personally, I have not had too many issues concerning reliability. Tires and brakes are expensive ranging anywhere from $1200 for a set of tires to around $800 for brakes all around. You could cheap out on those things but I would highly recommend not to. The interior is very comfortable but not good for taller folks. I would recommend getting the technology package as it comes with a bigger infotainment screen. The car's exterior has held up to the test of time, it still looks modern considering it is now 7 years old. But once again repair costs come up again. After a few door dings and rock chips on the paint, I wanted to get the paint touched up at my local BMW dealership. They quoted me for over $1500. I ended up going to a secondary body shop and paid half that. However those prices are insane for what you will pay for this car used. I do not recommend buying this car used especially with high mileage. As you will find that the costs to maintain and repair will begin to surpass what you paid for it. In terms of performance this car does not lack. My 328i came with a 4 cylinder turbo. It gets up and going surprisingly quickly if you are in the right gear. The 0-60 on this car I have personally measured at 5.6 seconds. Obviously weather conditions and different altitude will differ your performance. In terms of gas mileage throughout owning it, I can report that it is as advertised. I get around 30 mpg on a good week of mostly highway cruising. On a bad week of city driving it could range from 24-27. If you are looking to buy this car make sure you keep up with maintenance or find a car with a good maintenance history.

Very comfortable. Heated seats in front and back. The backup camera is very good quality. A lot of legroom and trunk space. Handling is amazing.

This BMW drives fast, safe with all wheel drive. Low miles 34k. Has a lot of nice features power everything. Beautiful on the interior and exterior

This car met all my needs and raised a bar for my next vehicle! Loved driving it, feels great behind wheel and gives such a pleasurable drive!

This BMW lets you feel connected to the road and the driving experience like most BMW's and especially the 3 series. The interior didn't feel top drawer but more like something I would expect from Toyota - pleasing, functional and underwhelming

Best car I have owned. Great handling, Performance, Style. I would recommend not only this model but all BMW models. There well worth the price and value.

I just finished test driving a 2014 328i x drive. Let me preface this review by noting that I owned the 2007 335i and 2013 535i brand new so I'm somewhat familiar with BMW setup. My financial situation has changed so I've resorted to buying used, which is fine with me. HOWEVER, I'm very disappointed with the interior and all the plastic parts. What is up with the door lock button being right next to hazard?? And the park button instead of shifting. Why? The BMW steering logo was chipping on the edges and the door handle melting and gummy. For a BMW, this is very disappointing. The car had only 48k miles on it. My very last car was a 2012 Infiniti G37xS which was totaled by another driver. I wouldn't be looking for any other cars otherwise because THAT car was badass with a very well made interior and exterior. I was hoping this BMW would meet or exceed my last car. Disappointed.

I’ve owned a 2014 BMW 328 with an N26 engine and I can tell you, ITS PLATIC JUNK! Don’t believe me, do the research. BMW used plastic timing chain guides that are notorious for breaking randomly and blowing the engine. My car had 48,000 miles on it, timing chain snaps, at a red light, and the engine blows. The car was always serviced, oil changes twice a year, car driven less than 9,000 miles a year and my engine blew. Then BMW knowing these engines have severe issues that result in catastrophic engine failure, fight you every step of the way to replace it with another JUNK N26 engine. They advised me they would only cover 20% and quoted me at $12,000 for repairs. These F30/N20/N26 engines are not even worth the repairs. Your better off buying a low mileage Ford Fiesta with your 12,000, LITERALLY! It’ll last you longer trust me. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend this car or any car with the engines N20 and N26 to my worst enemy. Shame on BMW for selling this to the public, it is a stain that will only grow darker as all these engines start to hit 50+ thousand miles! They refuse to recall this motor knowing it’s junk bet the cost of replacing this would be crippling. So let your public of dreamers to be owners of a BMW suffer. If a cars salesman can look you in the face and sell you this car, run for the hills! You’ll be stuck with a xxx! I promise.
