I bought this car for my wife. Very disappointed. on a hard raining day she drove through no more than 8 inches of water and below the door level. the car stopped and the dealer called it a total loss. So much for German engineering. Why can't they keep the electronics higher off the ground and seal the floors better? For me it was too hard to get in and out of the car and I am 5'-10". It is difficult to find the comfortable seat position but it may be different with the power seat. The door lock button is in the middle of the consul rather than on the doors, so without the remote key, one has to crawl in, to get the other doors open. After 3 years and only 8800 miles, the car depreciated 20K or about 50%. I liked the exterior styling of it but that was about it.

This is my second BMW. Both times I've regretted buying one. There seems to be thousands of parts I've never heard of, all of which are at least 1k to fix. My friend told me the same thing for his. Every visit. Whether it's a pin sized light in the head lamp or a third filter for oil changes. Dealerships will absolutely destroy you for maintenance. And the thing I don't like about these cars is its very difficult to do things on your own. If it isn't digital that requires a machine to read/fix, it requires specific tools even for something basic. So owning a BMW forces you to be at the mercy of repair shops. And if they don't know what they are doing, it can be extremely costly to have to fix. Aside from the repairs, I find the design has a lot of flaws. The interior of both that I've owned always left me with a dumb look trying to figure out what they were thinking. The space in the rear seat of my 328i is laughable. If the front seat is anywhere but all the way up, the passenger in the rear will have no room. Compartments and cup holders are the bare minimum. It took me a little while to find one compartment that I do like but it almost seems to be shaped pointed outwards instead of slanted a little to keep items inside with the natural force of gravity. Just a lot of questionable designs that after my second one, I'm really beginning to wonder what the hype about these cars is. Costly, uncomfortable, hard riding. I would NOT recommend getting a BMW.

Catastrophic fail - lost all power on fwy

Do not get this car, or possibly any BMW if you need to travel long distance from time to time. I experienced one about 180 miles from home. It lost all power without any warning (turns out to be a failed fuel pump). I had to pay $1,200 to have it towed back home. It actually saved me money as the fuel pump was still under warranty (But I have to pay the towing). It’s a fun car to drive around town, and good for commuting as it gets good mileage. But do not, I repeat, do not take this car for any long distance travel. It is simple not reliable for that, and you’d be putting you or your family in risk if you get stranded in the middle of no where
Great trade in value!!

Comfort and entry can be a bit of a challenge if you are 6 feet tall or taller. I traded this car for a new (ordered) 2018 BMW 540i. I got a fantastic trade in value. The new car is even better.

Have owned it for 3 mos. includes premium package. Handles very well but would suggest getting an extended warranty if you plan to keep it beyond 4 yrs. Jeff S. at Passport BMW in MD gave me best price for Gold package by far.
