Worst Call I've Ever Owned

2010 BMW 3 Series 328i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

I must be insane but I do not see how a call for over $40,000 could have such horribly uncomfortable (power) seats and probably the worst standard sound system I have ever heard in a car at this price. The ride is awful. I feel like a rabbit in a box being bounced around. Making a ride rough and quick bouncing does not make it solid. BMW is grossly overrated for what you get. It is all name and hype. Amazing what a manufacturer can do with a name. They cheaped the 2010 down so much but everyone (obviously including me) is willing to just grin and bear it. Wish I had not sold my Audi A8. That was a quality car.

3-series Coupe Never Disappoints!

This is my third BMW, my second in the 3-series product line. This is my first Coupe. I was attracted, immediately, to the styling when it was revised for 2007. I test drove the car then and loved it but settled on the Z4 as it had an incredible lease deal that I could not pass up. Time came to turn in the Z4 and went for the Coupe. I have not missed the Z4 one day and that is a tall order. The Coupe is an amazing automobile. When I drove it home from the dealership I took the parkway and found myself thinking - this car isn't moving real fast - looked at the speedo - 95. Felt like I was doing 50. Typical of BMW's - they are made to be driven!

Came back to BMW

A few years ago had a 5 series. Great car no problem but was a sport wagon and I just didn't like the use of a sw. So I traded it. Since than have been a Lexus driver. Great cars not one problem. But you cant compare the the two. Lexus is a soft ride luxury and BMW is a sport luxury. Just driving the 3 home it all came back on why they rave about the handling of BMW. It just feels so tight and in control. The car overall just feels more soild.

I traded in my Infinity G37 for a new 328i with sport package and manual transmission. The G37 felt heavy and the auto took too long to downshift. G37 was a nice and fast car but not fun to drive. The BMW is fun to drive.

First 400 miles

Love my new 328i - Montego Blue color is amazing! Surprised BMW does not offer power drivers seat std this year, also they got rid of alarm system std? Agree with another reviewer they need to correct the power outlet in center console that you cannot close lid if wire coming through. Love the wheel design - even though 16" nice design and tires ride nicely. Base stereo could be better but do like HD radio. Impressive gas mileage for 3.0 I-6 with automatic on highway. Rough idle and downshifts are not very smooth..will have dealer check. Very quiet on the highway and comfortable leather seats.

2010 335i xdrive best in class

Truly the best car I have ever driven. Living in a hilly part of Long Island, NY AWD really comes in handy. This car has it all Its a sports car, sedan, summer car, and great in the snow, the best of all worlds. Transmission is amazingly smooth and power is always available. BMW 3 series continues to be the one to beat. G37 is nice but not nearly as refined in the transmission and ride quality. C class has a great feel but no power. A4 simply cannot compete while the S4 on the other hand is amazing but quite a bit more money. Acura puts out a great car with amazing tech and great ride but lacks low end torque. Love this BMW and my wife who's not a big car nut fell in love instantly.

I have had 3 Land Rover Discovery and decided to try the 3 series. I still have my latest Discovery and have wanted to go back to a BMW for a while. My car was a loaner for the service department and had 12K miles when I bought it. This is an awesome car!! Def made for the driver. Even though it is only the 328I, it drives amazing. Perfect for driving on the interstate and intown. My partner has an E class Mercedes and does not like driving my BMW, but I don't like his Mercedes as much as mine. Really different driving experiences. I really recommend this car for anyone. I recently got 30.8 mpg..used to 13 mpg in my Rover!

2010 328xi e92

I also own a 2003 Mercedes SLK230 and a 2009 Cadillac DTS. The 328xi is just between the two. The suspension is like the two combined. The way the car feels when driving however is completely different. The steering is beautiful. The suspension is amazing. It’s just a pleasure to drive. I am the 5th owner of this car. It has almost 88k miles. The valve cover gasket was replaced at 84k and the main oil seal at 86k. I’m expecting the water pump and or the thermostat to fail fairly soon. I paid just over 9k for it from a Ford dealer in PA. I expect to buy another Bimmer when this ones transmission fails. The owner before me seemed to run on the philosophy that BMW’s are special and don’t need a diff fluid and trans fluid change. I’m assuming they got that from BMW’s “lifetime” oil philosophy. However every technician I’ve talked to said that it should be done every 50k miles at the latest. 30k even. We’ll see what happens when the car reaches 100k miles. But I’ve been advised not to change the oils now at risk to doing further damage.

I just love my 328i it is an amazing ride it is fast it is everything you want in a car, and the best thing my 2010 is in mint shape it only has 56,000 original miles on it, I would highly recommend one of these vehicles and they are not pricey you will be amazed 😀
