2014 BMW 328d consumer reviews

Great car . Parts are cheep but costs a lot to install. Best diesel motor for power and mpg I have had ! Hoping to put at least 300k on it . Should last 500k .

Have owned a 328d since November 2013 (mfg Munich, October 2013) and it’s still a blast to drive—as much fun as the night I took delivery nearly 10 years ago. Averages in the low 50 mpg (except during a regen and then high 40s). The car has always exceeded the EPA estimates and I never use ECO PRO mode. Had an O2 sensor and glow plug module go out last year but that’s it. My first set of run flats lasted around 45 000 miles and first battery lasted a bit over 7 years and so, 10 years in only on my second set of run flats (Conti Sport Contacts) and OEM battery. Like car expert Richard Hammond of Top Gear opined…”best car ever built”. Not for short or city drives but for the highway commuter or road tripper—this is your ticket to ride and as of 2018 the party ended—TY EPA and the uninformed car consumer we lost one of the best products ever available here.

This car is tremendous at 200,000 miles and more. No car compares in terms of reliability, driving, and lack of attention. A unicorn among generics

best car i have ever owned. the true BMW experience. smooth as silk. if you can find one, go buy it. highly recommend it. the best

Cars awesome very dependable never gives me any problems Drive it back-and-forth all day never repaired anything besides brakes and oil change I recommend it

Lots of fun and yet so economical. Gorgeous midnight Blue exterior and Beige leather interior. 47 MPG Hwy, 33 MPG combined. With all this who needs a Prius?

this was a great car to me because it gets everywhere and it owns the streets if you want something nice to get around in , that's the car for you.

I bought this vehicle when it was only 11 months old at the Decatur BMW Dealership. I had bought my wife a Mercedes which we only had 4 months when she was hit by an uninsured at fault driver. I looked for quite a quite a while for a new vehicle. I wanted to try a diesel BMW and found their was only 3 program vehicles for sale in Georgia, Valdosta, Decatur, and Chattanooga. It has been wonderful with no problems, great service, and has averaged 45 MPH the entire time we have owned it. We purchased it with 11,000 miles and it now has 73,000. My wife loved the color of the 2014 Mercedes and so this is the total of her review, that she liked the color better. I will say the Mercedes was a total loss but not one piece of glass cracked or broke even though the entire engine compartment was collapsed. My opinion is that the 2014 BMW 328d was a better built, economical, and very fun to drive. This model I purchased had every option you can get as I'm a gadget guy and one who studies and evaluated major purchases completes before purchases. Another issue I'd like to mention is the service I got from Macon BMW in Macon, Georgia that was owned by the Butler Family which owns and operates many dealerships. Even though I didn't purchase from them the gave us excellent service. Many things even surprised me. They provided all service free for the first 5 years the vehicle was on the road. They picked up the vehicle at my wife's school where she taught and returned it on time. They cleaned it inside and out. Other service items that surprised me was replacement of the windshield and they even replaced the brake pads when needed at no cost.

I have been the current owner of a 2014 BMW 328d Xdrive since January 2017. I just paid it off a few months ago and 50K miles later this car is still as solid and fun to drive as the day I bought it. The only problem that I’ve had on it in over 3.5 years was a corroded TPS sensor that was 100% covered under BMW’s CPO warranty. Despite the reputation BMW has for unreliable autos, this has been one reliable daily commuter. It handles and sticks to the roads incredibly well as you would expect from a 3 Series BMW. The instant torque from the turbo diesel is just awesome. I also get a whopping 41 mpg combined with about a 65/35 highway to city driving split. This is made even more impressive considering the fact that the car is AWD and the kind of performance it puts out. My only complaint is that it isn’t as comfortable to sit in for longer periods as I would prefer. I have roughly a two hour commute for work of 100 miles and to be honest my previous car, a VW Jetta TDI, was more comfortable. Still though, it isn’t uncomfortable per say and the interior is pretty slick. Despite how much I like the car, I’m not sure that I’d get another BMW. I do like their diesel offerings so perhaps if they brought those back into their lineup, but after have a couple of diesel cars I can’t see myself going back to petrol/gas. So in a year or two when I’m ready for a new ride, if I can’t snag a nice CPO diesel for a good price then I suspect I’ll be going electric. I hope this review sheds some light on how good of a car the ‘14 328d has been for me so far. If the other 3 Series diesels are anywhere near as solid and fun to drive, I’d highly recommend snagging one up before they’re gone.

2014 BMW 328d XDrive Base: Daily driven since 2014. Currently has 98k miles. Runs great in all weather conditions; extreme heat, AC is great, 5 Pennsylvania winters on RT80, Great traction! Impressive water fording during hurricane floods, Long Beach Island NJ. The cabin is very quiet while underway. Fuel, on a great day (highway) a tank of fuel can bring this vehicle over 700 miles. City, urban driving can return 500+ miles on a tank of fuel. Due to a low curb weight, I am currently still on original rotors. It is still a BMW regardless of the fuel it takes. A causal Roll on the throttle, in the right gear will surge the vehicle to a speed you would not believe could come from 180hp. Pros: Insanely impressive on fuel Quieter than it’s gasoline sibling Great Torque! Cons: Could use another 50 hp Diesel fuel additive is annoying Start stop system is a tad crude
