2011 328xi Coupe

Had this car for a few months now, have over 4 thousand miles, I think the sports package with 18in wheels are nice but the low profile tires make it hard to drive around new york. Theres a weird noise coming from the passenger side door whenever I go over bumps. The standard audio system is a huge disappointment. All wheel drive system handles like no other, this car is a beauty!

Good safe car

I bought this car because I totaled my 2009 BMW 328i and I walked away with only a broken finger! I really enjoy the car. I had a 2000 C class for almost 9 years prior to this but it was not as much fun to drive. My only complaint is the sound system is sub-par. The 2009 model had a much better sound system.

BMW got this one wrong

The ride in this car is so stiff and uncomfortable that I really regret making this purchase. I've owned BMW's, Mercedes, VW's, Nissan, Toyota, etc previously, and never has ride and steering been so uncomfortable and such an issue for me. I would definitely not recommend this car, especially for those over the age of 50. Save your money and look elsewhere as this car is a hassle to drive and not a good value overall.

I love to drive this car

Simply: Awesome handling. No more Acuras for me! Free maintenance, BWM assist, handsfree phone, iPod interface, Sirius XM, Nav, comfortable seats, power everything, AWD, sport shifting......automatic headlight cleaners (I am a New Englander, this is important)! I'm enjoying this little gem. One important thing to note for all of you potential buyers: Add about 10 grand to the price if you want to extend your maintenance coverage past 50K (a full break job is 1800 dollars), cover your tires (yes, 400 dollars a piece! Rims are 1400), and extend the warranty past 50,000K. I think it is worth it for me as I plan to drive it for 5 years (at least 100K).

Terrible ride

The steering on this is so stiff and uncomfortable, I can't stand it. I bought this car without test driving it first because I previously had a 528i that drove wonderfully and was so comfortable. I wanted to get a slightly smaller car but I am so disappointed with the stiff and uncomfortable ride, and the extremely tight steering on this car.

Topless goddess

Needed a year round car with back seat. This one fits the bill. Performance and handling good. LATCH for child seat x2 only; no upper tether.

Best 4 door sports car for the money!

If you can't tell the difference between driving a BMW or Kia, this car is definitely not for you. The tightness of the car, is evident as soon you get in the car, as the doors close with a satisfying thump. Driving the car is exhilarating - the steering is telepathic...it's like an SLR camera - just point and shoot. The iDrive is actually better than I thought, it was a bit tricky to learn, but once you get it, you get it. If you are a pure gadget guy, I say go for the Acura TL (my previous car). If you want a smooth highway cruiser, then a Lexus ES350 might be for you. If you want to carve some roads and have fun on your commute every day, then this is the car for you!

Just another pretty faced GOLD DIGGER!! lol

Not that impressive, truly. This car is aesthetically very pleasing and driving a 60,000 dollar car is great but it's not worth the money. I had a kia in highschool and it drove just as well as this vehical. It's beautiful and fast but it just dosent "do it for me" maybe i'm simple but it's just another car with a xl pricetag and a powdered face.

Just What I Needed

I'm on the road 3-4 hrs a day. Used to think I was safer in an Expedition. But the quick response (braking, accelerating) and the superior handling of this car gives me more control on busy highways. Averaging 25 mpg without sacrificing performance. Dealership interactions continue to be superb! Lot's of perks like unlimited, free car washes. Bought this CPO vehicle early this year with 48k miles. Already have over 10k in miles driven and it has been a joy to drive. Used to dread the final 8 miles of winding roads home before. Not any more!
