Hard to believe it's a diesel

I'm still in the break-in period, but this car is a blast to drive. The new model styling is really great. The wheels and trim accents in the sport package look fabulous. While I'm a big fan of the BMW sport seats (my previous 530i had them, too), I'm having a little trouble getting really comfortable in these. In 40 years of driving, this is my first automatic transmission car, but I don't think that I'm going to miss it as much as I thought. The wheel base of this 3 series is almost the same as my old 530i, so it's really quite roomy inside. However, it's still a 3 series, so it's just not as upscale as my old 5 series. When BMW brings a 5-series diesel to the US, I'll move back up.

I owned this car for 6 years and wasn't all that impressed. After replacing the front struts and rear shocks, it came to life and now finally enjoying this car. Great at high speeds and handling is sublime. Had to replace the ignition coils for unknown failure reasons. New plugs and filters and good to go. With 76,000 miles, it drives like new

Best Car I ever had - 2011 323i e90

I live in Canada and got the 323i with the N52 Engine in June 2018. Since then it's been an amazing car, it has 200hp and it's pretty fast. I still keep the regular maintenance up to date, only thing that went wrong was a bad coil which the mechanic gave me for free "he had one sitting" and that's it! Nothing wrong, no squeaks, car is super comfy plus the feeling of this hydraulic power steering is simply pure driving pleasure. The 323i does take some time to take off but once it does you do not regret it. Definitely go with an N52 engine if you are going for a 2011 BMW.
