Feel and great ride of big series BMW due to longer wheelbase, sits a little higher than sedan, handling closer to regular 3 series, better mileage than SUV, bigger more comfortable back seat compared to regular 3 series or newer 4 series hatch, great utility with hatch vs a sedan. Styling not for everyone, occasionally tempted to upgrade to something more stylish but can't justify it. Love it!

Purchased the car used in 2818 with less than 50k miles. In the beginning (first 6 months), I thought this was the best investment I ever made. Then just around Thanksgiving I received a warning abo a a headlight malfunction and I went to the dealer to have the headlight changed and I've had to get the headlight change every 3 to 6 months. After having the car one year I had to spend over 3k for a sensor for the gas tank. I was stranded on the side of the road and had to have the car towed to the nearest dealership was told that I could not let the car go lower than 1/2 tank due to the sensor on the gas tank went bad and the part was not covered under the manufacturer warranty nor was it covered under the extended warranty because this is not something that dosen't normally have to be replaced and the vehicle is too new for this to particular part to need replacing. After all of this like a dummy I kept the car only for the back up camera and the back turn lights to malfunction and the issue is bigger than just replacing a few bulbs and or fuses. Buyer beware!..... I'm going back to Lexus.

I’ve owned the cars for over 2 years now. No big problems, but I did buy the extended maintenance package because BMW repairs are EXPENSIVE. It does have more wind noise than I’d like, but the utility and comfort make up for it.

I previously leased a 2011 328i sedan. I switched jobs during the lease, and I needed something with more cargo space without having to get an X1 or and X3. When I saw this car at the dealer, I was very interested. It has plenty of rear seat legroom, which isn't something I could say about my 328. The model I leased is a 2014 with the M Sport, Premium, Lighting, Technology, Both driver's assistance, Cold weather, and Harmon Kardon sound packages. It is in Mineral Grey, which I am having second thoughts on. I wish I had the Black Sapphire like my old car. After living with it for about a year, the GT's numerous flaws revealed themselves. I do a lot of city driving, but even with my light foot and tendency to use Eco Pro, I am averaging 17.2 MPG. I have had SUVs that did better than that with bigger engines. The engine is very gruff at higher revs, and sounds like a diesel with all of that clatter. I do like the large moonroof and Harmon Kardon sound system. The trunk is nicely finished and very large. When I'm driving, I notice that my knees hit nothing but hard plastic or wood. It is very annoying, and for this price, I would expect a better designed interior. The rear seat has limited head room. I also noticed how loud it is on the freeway or in neighborhoods. At cruising speeds, I can barely hold a conversation with my rear passengers due to the wind and road noise. I regret getting the M Sport because it rides rougher and I am tired of it. I love the latest version of iDrive. The front seats aren't very accommodating. Rear visibility is a huge problem, but thankfully I have plenty of driver aids, which work well. Overall, I am not impressed with this car anymore. If you're in the market for a car with more space but value driving dynamics, look elsewhere.
