This car is difficult to get in and out from and the command center is not very intuitive. I'm 6'2" and sports seats have good support but the seat section could be wider. More than enough leg room, which is great. The car has terrific storage capacity, comparable or better than many SUV's. Never have to worry about the car bottoming out on rough road or a steep driveway, as it rides fairly high. AWD gives immediate handling confidence. Update 10/17/17: Had car serviced under warranty and they replaced cracked radio buttons and reinstalled radio, eliminating annoying rattles. Of course, this did not affect performance, but I can add that I am enjoying my car much better since the rattling stopped. Update 04/18/18: Love my car more than ever. No problems at all with it. Update: 01/30/20: Noticing very an occasional minor low gear transmission clunk at 65K miles, but doesn't seem to be an issue. Frustration has grown with connecting mobile phone to car, since there is no Car Play nor ever a software upgrade, as promised. Have replaced all four tires 3 x's. Sad to see that the resale value has really plummeted. Still like my car's acceleration, comfort and style...no plans on selling.

I wanted a car that handled well, rode well, accelerated well, was comfortable for four adults, with plenty of cargo room. Repeat, a car, not an SUV. I researched for two years, was drawn to the 328GT as soon as I saw it, and kept coming back to it. I've now owned mine for over two years and have to say it's still my perfect car. As for the XDrive, flawless. You can't tell that it's 4 wheel drive, until it snows, and when it does I swear I could plow with it.

I hear SO many complaints on here about the price of this car for what you get. We have four kids with only one left in a forward facing seat. I coach lacrosse and need trunk space, LOTS of it. But, I was so tired of the MOM car. Tired of feeling like I have to drive around such a huge vehicle all the time. I have had my Armada for 10 years and love it. We will keep it, but my first car ever was a BMW and I love the sporty drive of them. I missed that. However, I wanted space and safety going from a big SUV. People miss that BMWs are the ONLY cars that offer front and rear roll over bars and all the air bags they have! For my family that is huge! The complaints of spending $58k on this we don’t have. We made the new buy mistake on the Armada and that initial depreciation is HUGE! So we bought certified used and ours is loaded/luxury with almost every option out the door with GREAT miles for $28500. Still have two years unlimited miles of the original warranty and because it’s a SULEV we have 15 years 150,000 miles on all emissions related items here in California. My husband is 6’4” and fits fantastic in this car! It is, in fact, the first car he has ever felt comfortable sitting in, and can even sit comfortably in the back WITH the seat at the position he needs it to drive! It offers that much room! We can sit two kids and a booster in back comfortably, and another sits up front. They are 12, 11, 10, and 4 and fit fine. My husband has comfortably had four grown Marines in this many days out to lunch! It’s a phenomenal car with lots of spunk. Easy to drive. Corners are best to accelerate through like all bimmers! Some may take them too slow and miss the agility. It hugs the ground fine for me coming from an Armada. We also bought an X1 silver with a blacked out Sport package and red interior. It looks amazing and love it! They ride completely different, offer is the same abilities, same huge sunroofs, lots of cargo, one is a tighter steering and I like that. This car is a bit looser for a BMW drive, but it’s great! We get amazing gas mileage in it. There is some hard plastic down low on the dash. I love our black and dark tan interior and Alpine white exterior! Our car is beautiful and we get asked about it everywhere we go. The cargo is abundant, and we can drive two cars and get better mileage than my armada when parking is plenty, or we can all load up in the Armada! Buy used, or lease, I can’t understand the complaints on this car. Buy a BMW for the sportier drive. It is a drivers car! If you want lush and plush and super luxurious vehicles go somewhere else. BMWs are exactly what they always have been; a vehicle made to feel the road for those seeking that! I certainly don’t understand the gripes on visibility either.

BMW GT Underpromises & Overdelivers

The standard 3-series starts to feel cramped for most adults > 5’10”, so the extra legroom in both the front & back is an unmistakeable win— but the extra width is an unsung hero that makes this car beg to be taken on a road trip. The interior is significantly softer both in comfort & style, with a more luxurious experience that feels designed specifically to heighten comfort rather than just seem fancier. Two child seats in the back leave no room for an adult to sit in between, but it is also shockingly designed so thoughtfully that kids can’t reach their legs to kick the back of the front seats. The computer/display feels particularly clunky next to comparable luxury brands, which is classically BMW, but the deliberately analog design also feels sturdier as is typical to BMW’s relatively utilitarian approach to bells & whistles in order to focus on an unparalleled driving experience. The feel of the car is unmistakeable BMW, but the brawnier AWD power along with multiple clever driving profile options (eco pro, comfort, sport & sport+) allow simple trips to the grocery store feel exhilarating. Where the larger chassis results in slightly less zippy steering accuracy to the standard 3-series, it’s tight, responsive handling is still in another league than those same comparable luxury brands. This is especially impressive given a realistic minimum 27mpg’s in SF city driving. The body is love or hate for Beamer enthusiasts, but everyone else is as impressed with its elegant lines, understated muscularity and unbelievable cargo room for such a graceful-but-secret hatchback. This is my 5th BMW, including an X5, X3, 5 & 3 series, and I would be thrilled to drive only this car for the rest of my life.

Sunroof Wind Noise Affects Comfort

I purchased a 2015 328I GT about about 9 months ago. This is a nice looking car and the performance thus far is good. I get numerous compliements about how nice the car looks. My biggest complaint is the "Wind Noise" which affects the driving experince is away that is soooooo annoyingto the point of frustration . I strongly feel BMW of North America needs to address this flaw. When the radio and/ other media isnt turned on, the noise is unbearable so I find myself turning on and up music to in order to not hear the noise. There are so many days I want to drive without music etc yet toomuch winds noise I always have some type of media playing. I place my hand near the roof to get a feel of where the air is coming from. It's as though it isnt sealed tight to prevent outside niise and wind. I had a Infinity with a sunroof and the ride-noise free-no wind which leads me to believe this is a Big problem BMW doesn't want to deal with. The reason for saying this, I verbally brought this to the attnetion of my service advisor, Service Director numeroustimes to no avail. I was told by the service Director, he would test drive a car like mine to see if he experience the same, I havent gotten ffedback,. Service advisor said bring in back in so a techinician could ride along with me. Well my car has been in the service dept for regular maintence so why dealership cant follow-up on my concern. I plan to address this matter in wiritting soon. For the price, i shouldn't have ride uncomfortable. Additionally, while traveling on the interstate, local roadway with speed greater than 40, noise is evident. I curious to know if others who own a 328I GT experience this as well. As months and years past, this good result in water penetrating through the roof and burning gas because heat and or cold air can be felt when you put your hand where the wind noise is. Feel the car will depreciate faster because of this flaw. I want to ride in comfort for the price made. There are many other makes and models I have ridden in that have sun roof-double that yoy Do Not hear wind noise. Something gone wrong in designing.
