If you are looking for reliability, Do not buy a BMW... Stick to Honda or Toyota if reliability is your thing. Not just this one, Any BMW. I am a car guy, I've had 31 cars and 3 motorcycles in 18 years. BMWs are fun to drive, and they look awesome. But they are extremely over priced, and for that reason, they don't hold their value! That's why a 45.000 BMW drops to 15.000 in a few years. Because they are known money pits! When they are new, obviously everything is great. But just like any other vehicle, BMW's also break. This vehicle was engineered with too much plastic. Even the cooling system is made up of plastic! The price to maintain is extremely overpriced, even if you own a mechanic shop. I don't pay retail price for parts due to my automotive repair shop parts account, And still, the parts are absurdly expensive. Ready to pay $200 for a plastic hose? or $864 dollars for a transfer case solenoid that's made of 80% plastic that is guaranteed to fail? Just complete garbage

Sedan is designed to place everything you need close to you. Car sits lower to the ground. The turbo makes acceleration exilerating. They is no storage, no cup holders, a minute space in the glove box and arm rest.

I have 2009 335i sport. Sold and got the 2013 328xi sport.big mistake. This car looks nice and the interior is perfect but the performance is dull. Its not a fun car to drive at all. If you want power, performance and handling,get a 335i sport, you will enjoy every minute of driving. If you want comfort and soft ride,then this is for you. Glad i still have the z3.

I bought mine as a CPO, and have had no major issues at all. It moves, is fun to drive, and is extremely eye catching. Now a couple years later I understand why it's called Break My Wallet. lol. I went back to a Camry, but it was sure fun. I have better things to do with my money than 500 dollar batteries and headlights.

Be kind to yourself...

Be kind and run away from BMW cars and Suvs!! This 2013 is my 4th Bimmer and my last. The enthusiasts drive is no more in 90% of what they make. And so...the problems and piss-poor dealership chain make it a brand no longer worth buying. 1st, I do my own maintenance. Without this I could not afford one (or I just refuse to pay $1000 per service visit. I don't know how they always bring the bill to $1000, but they do). I could go on and on how BMW hates the owners but I won't. 2 examples: most 06-2011 had failed electric water pumps, cost of repair at dealer 1200-1600 USD, and wheres the crankshaft sensor on a 2013 335i? Inside the starter. What? Good luck if you buy a BMW that's now built by marketing, legal, and engineers, not car people.
