Fun to drive, comfortable, & amazing gas mileage!

My husband an I love this car! We added the sport features & all of the bells & whistles available. It gets true 45 mpg on the freeway & handles wonderfully! We?ve received many compliments & head turns on the overall appearance & fact that it?s a diesel!

Recurring diesel related sensor issues

I have driven this car for 4 years and is my first BMW. I like how it drives and performance. However, engine light turns on at least twice a year and every time it is related to an expensive repair, usually a sensor issue or something related to the diesel system. It has taken up to 3 visit to the BMW dealership to get the problem fixed. Until now it has all been under warranty so I have not had to pay out of pocket to fix. Most recent was a nearly $1000 repair. Probably will end up buying extended warranty insurance. First time experience with a "lemon" for a new car.

Great car, but watch out for expensive repairs

We have the diesel wagon (328d xdrive); given that this is a 4 wheel drive, gas mileage is incredible - we get about 40 mpg in mixed driving We put a lot of miles on the car 20+k / year and up to ~95k didn't run into any major issues, but unfortunately ran into some more expensive repairs right around the 100k (manifold intake & sensor issues), which were fortunately still partially covered by our extended warranty. Our mechanic mentioned to us that repairs on the diesel version can unfortunately get quite expensive in comparison to the gas version, otherwise we are quite happy with the car.

328D sport wagon: Great diesel, AWD vehicle

I really love this sport wagon. It is fun to drive and I really like the sport, comfort, and economy settings. I got this car because it's awd and diesel and it was what I was hoping for!

Most reliable car with a great mileage per galon

The car is great for commuting as well as weekend getaway trips. With 600 miles per gas tank you don?t even remember last time you got fuel when you use it every day. Very comfortable and sporty at the same time. Tons of features and options that you will not find on any other makers. Very reliable after owning for two years, get lots of compliments all the time.

Most economical car I have ever owned.

Between 500 and 600 mile range on $40 of fuel, need I say more!?!? Not the fastest BMW I?ve ever owned but it has lots of torque and handles really well. The Drivere Assist and enhanced blue tooth are great!

What I have been seeking in a car

Nothing says quality better than when you close the door and it is a solid vs metallic sound. Quality leather upholstery, refined styling of both the exterior and interior.

I've only had the car 2 weeks to new to tell

I just bought this car used and drove it to 930 miles for only 50 dollars. It actually cost me more in tolls then to drive from Chicago to Virginia. I went though mountains snow rain and the car handle very well.

I bought this car new while optionsnwre expensive to add the gas mileage is near 50mpg on highway it is smooth and performs well on open road a bit sluggish on streets. I?ve had no mechanical issues and the car is built solid
