WV 328i XDrive

This car is incredible. It is exactly what was advertised. "The ultimate driving machine". It is smooth and responsive. I have yet to find a curvy two lane road that this car didn't love. I have driven a lot of nice cars, but this is in a class all alone.

328i The Bottom Line

These cars require on-time upkeep maintenance. The time to fix it is when it says it needs attention. If you let it slide it will break something else more costly. Don't buy one if you like to neglect your car as the 328i does not like neglect at all, however, if you keep it maintained it will last you for 300K miles.

If you enjoy driving, that is you like responsive steering, agile suspension, willing engine and a great driving position, then this is a car you should check out. For me very low maintenance. I am biased. I love BMW's. This is a driving machine, not some bloated, oversized, Americanized floater. The real deal. The Performance Package and great sport seats make it even more so. The steering wheel mounted paddles are great for the quick downshift for passing on freeway, with no additional gas. A driver's car.

2009 335xi review

This car is great, has very refined performance. In fact, I took my mom for a drive and asked her how fast she thought I was driving, she said 40 when in fact I was going 58. I get varying mpg depending on how I drive, when I go smoothly and just cruise, I get anywhere from 26.4 to 27 mpg. When I feel like gunning it on every turn, I get anywhere from 22.7 to 24.4. The reliability of this car is great, very responsive and has awesome handling. Very great performance, would recommend to anyone who has the time, money and experience to buy this car.

Great car

This is a great car. I researched MBZ first, having driven 240Ds for 20 years. This car is powerful, handy, and responsive. Mercedes lost out with half the fuel economy and much higher prices for diesel models.
