2011 BMW 323i - maintenance costs!

Lovely car, smooth ride, all the bells and whistles until they break. You had better have deep pockets when it comes to maintaining this car. With premium gas, synthetic oil, and performance parts at a premium I sank far too much into this vehicle.

This car replaces a 2008 328i. It has the same engine and BASIC design. They have added 17 inch wheels (about time) and made the lights and body a little more sporty. They have decreased the power hook ups. They removed the ash tray and cigar lighter from the dash. The only power hook up is now in the console. Bad idea. This is the days of pc's, PDAs and portable GPS. They all need power! The steering seems to be a little looser, more play in the wheel etc than my 2008 model. Not sure if this is just my imagination or not. They decreased the number of speakers. The sound is a little thinner.

Great but small

Just traded in my new 2011 BMW 328xi for a TL. BMW has awesome ride, but real small. I'm 6' tall 230 lbs. Very cramped for my long commute every day. Back seat was too small for even my kids. My 4'10 8 year old even had a tough time getting comfortable in the back. Forget it when it came to work associates.....way too small for any lengthy ride. If you want the classic sports car ride....this is it. Like a zipper on the road...but you need to be smaller or sacrifice the comfort for the fun.

I like this body styke, handling, and fit and finish even over the new 2012+ generation.

If you enjoy long road trips and driving on twisty mountain roads this is the car for you ! I now have 70000 miles on the car and I love this car more than the day I bought it. I have had one ignition coil failure since I bought the car and no other problems what so ever. Car is just as tight and precise handling as the day I bought it. I plan on driving to 100000 miles and will most likely buy another BMW. It absolutely is the ultimate driving machine! By the way I am not a BMW employee!! AS of 11/8/2018 I now have 76000 miles on the car with no issues. I love this automobile and will continue to drive it past 100000 miles. Most enjoyable car I have ever owned. As of 11/8/2019 I have issues or problems of any type with this car. I enjoy driving it as much as when I bought it. Will drive to at least 100000 on the Odometer before I trade for new BMW. Best car I ever owned.
