I’m loving it

I bought a 2011 328xi E90 at 86000 miles. It was a CPO car when it had 34000 miles. I walked away the first day at the dealer because they wouldn’t drop the price when I saw fresh gold and transparent oil on the bottom of the car when I got underneath it. I said lower the price $1500 and I’ll buy it. They said no. they called me 4 days later and said they would get it fixed. Dealer spent $1400 on oil pan gasket repair. I then bought it. I replaced the OIL FILTER HOUSING GASKET myself. Easy job. Just requires special Torx tools. The gasket material on the oil side was fine and the coolant side of the gasket was failing. This car is so much fun to drive. It’s no corvette. But it’s handling is fantastic. And you’ll understand why BMW is called the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.

I looked around for a while. Found this one that was well maintained with excellent service history. The car is a blast to drive and pretty quick for stock! Ride is alot stiffer but it's also alot smoother than my previous car. Long road trips are alot easier cause the sport seats are that comfy!! Only downside is the charge pipe did break (a common issue) but it was mainly do to me having a little too much fun. Would highly recommend the n55 335i to anyone if they can afford it!

Unexpected disappointment

Before you purchase a 328i please check the equipment list. Base car has no tinted windshield, no alarm, not even a beep when you lock the car. Perhaps a $550.00 special paint job, no seatback storage and perhaps other items I missed. Billed out at $39,000 and not even XM radio. First oil change is 12,000 mi. But, it is a tremendous driving machine. The advertising is correct. Almost only want to drive on two lane roads. Great grip, great brakes only the low beams are a little to low. Fun to drive but check your extras. My responsibility to check equipment. If you want a real car to drive, get a 328i, nothing like it.

Just picked up my new 2011 328i yesterday with M Sport Package and I have already put over 100 miles on the car. This is a car you just want to keep driving. It is so incredibly smooth it is amazing. The M sport package is well worth it... changes the look and feel of the car. This is my 3rd BMW and has to be my favorite one of all. It has a premium feel to it. The inline 6 engine has plenty of power to it.
