Perfect daily driver for a car enthusiast

After owning just about every car enthusiast type car you can imagine that’s usually modified and driven hard, I’ve owned it. Every car I’ve ever had it’s been pushed to the absolute limit and some over Then I bought a 2013 328i xDrive in 2019 Honestly love the car to death. For being a 2.0 turbo it’s honestly very quick the torque gives it the initial kick it needs before hitting boost to make the power band feel very linear and controlled yet dramatic enough to give the joys of driving a turbo car hard. Yes, the 335i is much faster, yes the older 3 series handle much better, yes newer and bigger bmws (5 series) ride much nicer but this car is the perfect in between car. It handles great even with all the electronic assists you’d think would ruin the driving experience it handles great for being a 3800 lb German barge and goes exactly where you want to go. It has the pickup and straight line speed to be impressive to a lot of people. And you can easily drive it to the store and back and to the mountains or beach on the weekends, or across the country for holidays. I can take this on a very spirited drive through the mountain roads and with 100% confidence take a road trip with ease and comfort. I’m active duty military and have driven this car ~30k miles in the year I’ve owned it just from traveling and driving while I was at the base I was sent to and I have never stepped outside in the morning wondering if it’ll get me to whatever destination I have in mine whether it’s 5 miles away or 500. Yes it has its issues but for what it is, it’s pretty dang good

Great car - 72,000 trouble free miles

This car has been great to own. Not a single unscheduled maintenance so far and since it is my first BMW, I was very worried about that. Best features are fun to drive, idrive, reliability and great gas mileage (36+ mpg on interstate). Great highway car. Only thing I really don't like about the car is the leatherette on the seats. It is cheap and once it gets hot, does not cool down for a long time. Makes for a lot of sweaty drives in the summer with my back sticking to the seat through my shirt.

2013 BMW 328i xdrive

I've had this car for 1 1/2 years now, have about 22,000 miles on it. Bought it because I have to commute about 50 miles to work each day, highway driving, and I wanted something that would feel safe (especially for winter driving), comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Very happy with this car. Favourite feature is the engine -- accelerates so nicely, for passing trucks and making lane changes. Built in bolts attachments for a roof rack were a nice surprise, makes it easy to transport my bikes. Bluetooth works really nicely for talking on phone hands-free. No real negatives. Engine seemed loud at first, but I don't notice it anymore. Get the heated steering wheel for cold winters!

Great in Minnesota Winters

I am really enjoying the car. I only have 7,000 miles on it so far of mostly extreme cold weather driving and it has been great. Not one single issue or visit to the dealer so far. The AWD system is better in snowy conditions than any vehicle I have owned, and that includes a modern Subaru system, a Grand Cherokee, and two Toyotas, (one AWD the other 4WD). It is very confidence inspiring in snow and ice, the electronic nannies do a great job. Gas mileage has been surprising for how well the car performs. In winter at temps of 10 below, still managed 24mpg in an AWD car. When the temps get about 40 mileage hits low thirties for me but I drive like a sane person. Excellent car.

I first fell for BMW in 2008. I purchased a 328xi. I was impressed with the sporty and solid road feel, refined-smooth-sounding power, and overall impressive build quality and materials throughout the cabin. I acquired another one in 2011, but noticed a very slight decline in materials...sun visor were plastic-like instead of cloth, and the nifty, cost-saving "Rest" feature was removed. After driving a 2014 for one month, I'm so glad I didn't trade my 2011. Car sounds loud and odd, feels cheap, and the size of the vanity mirror is smaller. Stereo system quality has declined (lack of depth), and steering feel reminiscent of my grandfather's Buick. BMW has skimped on quality with this one.
