    My 3rd 328 D

    I love this car if you drive a long distance I get a whopping 44 miles to a gallon of diesel. Walk away from a major impact action with my first one with only a few scratches. I’m a BMW man forever.

    Can you say, Road Trip?

    Great supportive seats, decent legroom in the rear. Drives awesome, steering is a bit light. Acceleration is very good for a 2L in a heavy car. Awesome blend of economy and comfort. Real world MPG 41 highway and 34 mixed driving. There’s a bit of diesel growl under acceleration but I don’t find it annoying. Car begs to be taken on a road trip.

    Second 328d I have purchased

    Great fuel mileage for an upscale car. I purchased this car to replace a similar 2012 model which i sold/gave to my daughter. Love both the older and the newer model.

    Excellent Service

    Forget what you think you know about BMW being the "Ultimate Driving Machine" brand—those days are fading fast. The automaker has lost its way in recent years, prioritizing luxury and in-car technology versus satisfying driving characteristics and cars that communicate road feel and handling nuance to their drivers. Sure, if you look hard enough, you can find BMWs that live up to the hype

    Excellent balance of efficiency/fun

    The engine in this car gives 6 cylinder power while delivering excellent MPGs. The worst I've had was 26 mpg with 95% stop and go city driving in sport mode. My best average so far with 90% highway is 42 mpg (self calculated, the car claimed a bold 45). I absolutely love this car, it's beautiful, fast, stable, efficient. It requires an additional fluid, DEF but it's very easy and cheap to add if you do a few Google searches. Don't let the MPGs fool you this car is a sport sedan in every sense of the word. Driving is truly an enjoyable experience everytime. My particular car was loaded up with all the technology and premium features and skipped the M package and performance add ins and it still is extremely fun to drive and feels very luxurious. It's currently in the shop getting fixed after a rear end collision which I have to say it took very well with minimal damage and I hardly felt it. I took it in for its first service since buying it recently. Independent BMW shop I took I to said they don't get the diesels in very often and when they do it's usually for glow plugs or emissions sensors, I got an extended warranty with mine but it's good to know it's an over all hardy powertrain. From what I've read it's the setup used for Taxis in Europe. I run Propel HPR in mine.

    New Purchase

    I’ve owned a 911S and a 530i and a BMW GS 1200 motorcycle and looking for a new vehicle with acceleration and power and comfort that would be a long term value purchase. Going 600 miles on the highway before having to fill up is amazing and I love the idea that car is coming from Munich Germany and a high quality build. There are so many great options and choices available and I look forward to putting lots of miles on this car for many years to come.

    Very smooth ride and excellent motor mechanics,

    Plan to buy one eventually - it is smooth on the mechanics of driving. Spacious interior and fine styling. It is the best riding and driving car that I have had the pleasure of being in as far as I can remember, which means as long as I have been driving
