I’ve had this 2009 sport wagon since 2016.

I’ve had this 2009 sport wagon since 2016. Bought it with 68k miles. It’s now at 118k miles. Plan on $1500-$2000/year for maintenance and I think it will easily go 200k miles. Fast enough, good handling, doesn’t attract police. My Best Buy.

Excellent vehicle

I purchased a new 2009 328I 14 years ago, it had less than one mile on the engine. Today I have 210,000. I have replaced the radiator, starter and a few batteries and brake jobs. I have to say its been a very dependable car, its garage kept. My only complaint is BMW needs to replace the headlights that fog up after time and the melting door handles. This is clearly a manufacture defect. Apart from that the money was well spent. I'm going to drive it till the motor blows up.

DO NOT GET A BMW

Biggest money pit. I guess having luxury cars makes you look rich because you can afford spending thousands in repairs every year. I’ve had this car for 2.5 years and it breaks every few months. 4 different oil leaks, radiator blew, coils have gone bad, windshield wipers have stopped working, water started coming in car, blower stopped working and so much more! Don’t waste your time. If you want luxury get a Lexus.

Love It

328i Conv. Is a great car reliable yes. maintenance is a little expensive but I love the car. Inline six is so smooth and performs like a german sports car should. Handles, brakes and brings a smile to my face daily.

Love it!

This car is exactly what I like. Convertible, hard-top, roomy, and clean. The BMW hugs the road, and turns on a dime. It has enough space in the back seat, that you don't really miss the trunk space that is used up by the roof, when the top is down.

Beautiful and well built

It’s a great hard top convertible, seals outside noise and weather perfectly well and in good weather it is a delight to drive with the top down.

Smooth Boulevard Cruiser with Euro Build Quality

This BMW 328i has enough power, good handling, and excellent build quality however the reliability is not the greatest. I've been spending on average $3000 per year on repairs and maintenance doing most of it DIY lately. I have a retractable hardtop convertible that looks great top up or down. But $500 for a battery replacement with a required software coding is too much to deal with. Cooling system issues are below par as well. Buy it only under warranty otherwise prepare to pay up for dealer service.

WORTH EVERY DOLLAR

10/10 would recommend. You can’t go wrong with its power, handling, comfort, and exterior design. Perfect car for anyone to drive. I have had it for awhile now and not only have I had 0 issues with it. I enjoy driving now. It has so much power but yet it drives so smooth it feels like you are gliding

Really great car. Zero problems, looks&drives well

We bought this car very lightly used in New Orleans, where we used it about 5-6 times a year. Then in September 2019 shipped it from NOLA to Berkeley for 25 yo daughter to use in law school. She is transferring to law school in NYC and recently broke her foot so can't drive it across the country. Her brother from LA coming up to Berkeley to sell it weekend of August 21-23.

Excellent Car to Drive

This is the best BMW car I have driven so far. I bought this 2 years ago and since then it has never given me any headaches. Just put in the gas, change the oil every 5K miles and you are set for life.Exceptional quality!!!
