BMW 328xi fun to drive

The handling of BMWs is always a lot of fun to drive. I always got terrible gas mileage because I couldn't help but drive the car aggressively; you hardly even notice in this car until you start driving something else and then you can see the difference right away.

Never own a BMW again

As soon as the warranty expired, I have had many very expensive repairs to this vehicle. Any repair or service is expensive, the ride is very rough. I'll stick with American or Korean vehicles.

Fun car to drive and looks great.

At 110,000 miles, this car has been reasonably reliable although a few issues. It is fun to drive and handles very well. It's a great looking car but comfort is only average. They should have offered more comfortable seats for the money.

My 1st E90

Overall I am happy with my 2011 E90 328i. Advantage: 1. Handling response is the best it its class. 2. Solid drive gives me confidence. 3. The L6 engine accelerates very smoothly and works great with the 6-speed transmission. 4. Good MPG on highway. I can get 30+ mpg. 5. The interior is quiet so I can enjoy the music when driving. 6. No mechanical issue for 4 years. Disadvantage: 1. The cup holder positions are not convenient. Poor design. 2. The steering wheel feels heavy at low speeds (0-20 mph). 3. The information system does not support many languages. 4. Interior space is just ok and smaller than BMW current 3 series (F30). 5. MPG is not that good when you drive in the city.

I just saw the recalls on the news this morning on

I was not notified about any recalls when I bought my car from dealership. The car was shipped to Albuquerque, N M from Arizona

Very fun car to own

I bought this 2011 328i convertible in 2014 and it has been a great car. With the BMW extended warranty I didn't have to spend any money until I had to get new tires this year. The car is fun to drive and I love the hard top convertible that worked flawlessly.

A lot of car for little money

The 328i is a compact powerhouse, with a stylish exterior and luxurious interior. The only major down sides, as of yet, are the seat belt helpers, which are very delicate, and the Bluetooth only work for calling, not for music audio (This is the non-iDrive version).

I bought this for fun but it lived the dealer

It was purchased low mileage certified used. I had several other BMWs I loved. This convertible only handles well with the top down, a disappointment. It had very disappointing performance that even the dealer had issues with, but was never solved. The last BMW for me so to lack of ya sling I loved and lack of performance I had experienced with prior BMWs

Love it!

Looks and better yet drives brand new. Interior is flawless and the all wheel drive makes all the difference!

Loved owning this car

This is a great sporty car that handles well in town, on the highway, and in the mountains in snow and rain.
