Expert 2011 BMW 328 review

our expert's take
Our expert's take

our expert's take


As BMW runs a war path with new model introductions — two gigantic, turtle-shaped crossovers a year, at this pace — they haven’t forgotten where the profit margin lies. It’s in the little 3 Series.

Even in the worst automotive sales climate in nearly two decades, more than 90,000 people in this country bought a 3 sedan, wagon, convertible, coupe or M last year. Young maverick-type men and attractive suburban women can’t, for the life of themselves, stay away from this car. It’s been like this for nearly two decades.

So BMW’s getting generous. Price a new 328i like ours on their website and you’ll see the “Value Package” pre-selected. It’s a no-charge combo of 17-inch alloys, leather and iPod integration. In other words, BMW looked dumb selling a luxury car with 16-inchers, fake leather, and a $400 USB cable when Audi, Acura and even Mercedes do more for less.

But those front seats, now standard with real cowhide instead of “leatherette,” have three clunky levers. They’re manual. They don’t have any map pockets behind them. There’s a phone button on the steering wheel (heated for $190) to talk handsfree via Bluetooth, but it doesn’t work, because this 3 doesn’t have the $750 “BMW Assist” option. A few hundred more and you’ll get — an alarm system.

What we’ve got is a $42,000 car with a lot of kit missing. Sure, there are heated seats, a moonroof, and those beautiful “angel eye” rings around the halogen headlamps (xenon costs $900). But you’re left feeling BMW is still up to its old à la carte tricks. They take out everything you’d expect to find on a $42,000 car (like folding split rear seats) and know you’ll add it back at premium cost.

None of the mavericks seems to have cared. Sales are up 10 percent through July this year versus ’09. And I want one badly, too. Every other month, I’ll peek at used 328i coupes on the internet, poking through listings to find a loaded one with a 6-speed manual and 18-inch rims off the sport package. I don’t care if the 3 is the Civic of Wellesley. I can’t get over how good they look for around $20K. At that price, I could deal with manual seats.

The big selling point of the 3 Series, despite what the Audi A4, Acura TSX, Mercedes C-Class and Infiniti G have come close to matching, is the drive. The base 3.0-liter six feels more powerful than its 230 horsepower suggests, and much smoother and more melodious than most V-6s. Chalk it up to the low gearing of the 6-speed automatic, which is very responsive to throttle jabs and manual paddle shifts, yet can feather around in traffic without fuss.

There’s a lot of weight to the steering at city speeds — at first, that can feel burdensome — but the result is a steady stream of feedback from the road. The suspension strikes that magical balance between curve carving and comfort, and the brakes step in with a reassuring bite and pedal feel.

I used to borrow my friend’s 2001 325i sedan to go on job interviews in and out of Boston, hoping the interviews would end quickly so I could go back and drive some more. His car is just as spartan inside as this 2011 (and amid the trend of button-crazy dashes and aggravating touch screens, this is a refreshing thing). But 10 model years of separation haven’t dimmed the 3’s personality: a no-nonsense driver’s machine that’s ready to hustle (with four people, in a pinch).

In M3 guise — tuned by BMW’s motorsports division — the 3 Series is ready to race. At $60,000, a lot of things come standard, namely power, buttons that say “power,” and power seats. Instead of the purring and humming from the 328i, the M3’s 4.0-liter V-8 sounds as if all eight pistons will burst through the engine block.

Nail the M3 in second gear on a highway onramp and you’ll be pressed hard into the pavement, wailing until the tachometer flashes red at 8,400 rpm. That most eyes can’t tell it apart from the regular car makes the 3 Series even more desirable. Is that just a pretty red convertible? Or does it carry many potential counts of reckless endangerment? There’s a 3 Series for that.

Gas mileage in the 328i didn’t improve much from the M3: 15 miles per gallon over 200 miles, mostly in the city. Blame it on our car’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, which adds 221 pounds over the rear-wheel-drive car. It’s hard to find a rear-wheel-drive 3 Series in New England. Believe me, I’ve looked. I was skeptical if xDrive would numb the handling, making the turn-in less crisp than my friend’s 325i, but the rear-biased torque mitigated that. Even better, xDrive-equipped cars no longer look like they’re jacked up Subarus, as they used to a generation ago.

In a few years, this 328i will be a better value. It’s a fluid shape creased in all the right places, one that’s designed to age well. The doors, trunk, switchgear and interior materials will retain their solid, quality feel. Given the proper care, it should run as smooth and quick as ever.

But to buy this BMW brand new? I’ll check off the “Used Package.”

  • My 2011 328i has just reached 223k miles.

    My 2011 328i has just reached 223k miles. No timing chain replacement. Only oil changes and coolant flushes. Obviously break pads and rotors. It’s been amazing. Fun to drive although I get 22mpg average. As Long as you don’t touch it and don’t drive it like you stole it, you can count on it.

  • Always buy used, best car ever owned ,total 9 cars

    Car is great.Worst things are cost of battery(AAA doesn't carry them) and a little tight getting in and out.(I'm 6 ft 260 lbs) It's a 4 door but I'm crazy about the lines of this car.Run flat tires are somewhat rougher ride and trunk isn't huge.Back seat is kids only room.The car is 2011 with 68,000 minutes. Makes me smile every time I see the car.

  • Great first car

    I grew up with my dad owning an older 328i so when I chose my first car I went with what I grew up with because it reminded me of when I was a kid, the car looks and drives great. Good daily driving car from work and back, going to the beach. All round very nice car, never had any problems with my 2 that I own, would definitely recommend it as a first car or an introduction into the brand.

  • BMW Never Disappoints

    Love my 2011 BMW 328i Coupe! Very comfortable, plenty of smooth power from the inline 6. Great handling without the harsh ride of a sports car. Love the way the body sits low over the wheels, I’ve been asked numerous times if I’ve lowered the suspension, no way it’s all factory original. This car is such a pleasure to drive out on the open road, cruises effortlessly at 90mph and still has plenty of power to pass a line of trucks. Easy to hit 120mph and not even feel it. Great fuel economy too, 30 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg around town. Original Continental run flats were garbage, replaced them with Bridgestone Drive Guard run flats, much smoother and quieter.

    I like having a stick on my fun car. It’s a little tight in the foot area when I’m getting in but once I’m in it’s great.

  • Best handling and and smooth power -my favorite

    This 2011 328 ix is the second one I've owned. I was the 6th owner of my 1st one and it had been upgraded many times - had a DCT and very fast car and had been tracked. It was an impulse buy because it was so much fun and took turns at speed like it was glued to the ground. Not paying attention to prior usage cost me a lot of down-time for repairs. My extended warrantee kept me out of the poor house though. My next BWM was a 2014 that I traded it in for to keep my wife happy - CPO under warranty until 2020 and had only 28K miles. A $50K car for $28K - twin-turbo flat 4 - no lag, quick and fast but lacking in road feel. You had no idea of what the wheels were doing. Still sticky on the road but with no feel, you really didn't want to push it. Write this down - do not buy a car because your significant other is nervous about possible cost in repairs - but research and have your car you want checked out by a good mechanic before purchase. The 2014 was sharp looking, rode and handled very well and even though it was fast, it really wasn't all the fun that the 2011 was. I kicked myself for 2 years and then bought a real cream puff, original owner who purchased after leasing and only had 54K on it. It looked and drove like my previous 2011 but was just a little slower off the line because it was stock. It still is faster than most cars from a standstill but once it's moving, it makes a connection directly to your brain. You think it, and it just does it. In traffic you really feel like the world is in slo-mo. If I want to move quickly out and around a car or get to a certain lane I just go there-no hesitation - it's 100 % controlled, smooth power and no matter how hard I go, the speedo just keeps going. Uphill on ramps and merges are a quick zip to 90 before I have to layoff and settle into the traffic that is still dissapearing into my rearview mirror. Like I said, not the fastest off the line but unreal smooth power for whatever you need to do. Nothing but oil changes in the 2 years I've owned it. I will repair this and keep it until I can't repair it no more, but I don't think that will be a problem - with the pandemic, it only has 66K. 2011 was the last year of the E90 chassis and last year of hydrolic steering... it's that hydraulic steering that while heavy, is pure bliss in the amount of feedback it gives me. Also great in snow with AWD. Harmon Kardon 300W with 2 subwoofers under each seat, 20GB HD to download music from thumbdrives or ripped from CDs directly to HD storage that also has the NAV maps. great NAV, real time traffic, leather, heated seats and steering, moonroof, folding heated mirrors, rain sensitive wipers, downhill low to save your brakes on long mountain downhills and you can disengage the traction control if you want to have a little fun on the track - I only took it once - I'm not going to make a habit of it but it was fun. Great car - do your homework and stick with the E90 chassis is my recommendation.
