Used 2007 BMW 3 Series 328xi 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
No acceleration
I had driven a 330xi for the past 6 years and loved the car. It had excellent acceleration and a great feel. The new 328xi is supposed to have more torque and horsepower but has absolutely no acceleration. The car is slow from standing to 1st and lags from 1st to 2nd. It bucks on me when going up a hill. I can feel the slow shifting in the low gears and when I make a right or left turn from a stopping position, the car haltingly moves. I am shocked at the lack of responsiveness of this car. I don't know whether I have a bad model or whether this car is simply grossly underpowered.
Awesome to drive; expensive to own
This car is awesome to drive, albeit the lag on acceleration is annoying. I have never owned a car that is more fun to drive. The MAJOR problem is the cost of ownership and reliability. This car is ALWAYS in the shop and the repairs are extremely expensive. Just dumped the car on trade-in for under market (at 65,000 mi) just to get rid of it. Was driving a rental because I didn’t trust the car. It is the “ultimate driving machine” when it’s not in the shop, but spent most of the time driving a loaner. I will NEVER buy another BMW.

Lemon of the bunch
My beautiful alpine white BMW 328XI AWD 4dr.sedan has been in the shop 12 times, first time 6 months after purchase. Major computer problems;computer indicator pops up with visuals not in the handbook. Service @ BMW has had difficulty reprogramming the computer. Poor handling dealing with pot holes. Little things go wrong with the car all the time. Car serviced at a different dealer than purchase. BMW corporate says that the service dept. has been able to fix the problems the car has had, but the vehicle is not reliable and I don't feel safe driving it. Afraid to drive the car long distances for fear of being stranded. This ultimate driving machine is a NIGHTMARE=LEMON!
I love BMW
I have passed 1000 miles on my new 3 series. I am very happy with the manueverability, accuracy and responsiveness of the car to pedal and brake. The seat heating is quite fast making it useful for this season. I loved the 335 too, but it did not have an AWD version.
Awesome Car, Everything they say it is!
I never believed all the hype till I took it home. A test drive is nice but you don't get the feel for the car till a few long trips in it. After a few hours on he road, i really started to appreciate the subtleness in its perfect handling! It handles and performs just like they say! Plus it is so sleek and stylish of a car!
