Lots of quality and reliability issues
Hey BMW, what happened to quality and durability? My 2014 wagon with 50k miles is in the dealer more than on the road it seems! Engine and transmission issues non stop, electronics, mirrors. BMW does not stand behind anything so caught up and make customers pay dearly for these quality and design flaws. Dealers are horrible, never any loaners available so you sit and waste away lots of time as they try fixing the problems. I guess BMW really wants people to switch to Tesla. In my case, that is becoming more and more likely with every visit to the dealer. Does not seem too smart to chase away your customers like that if you want to stay in business BMW! As I sat in dealer waiting room an old colleague also come in with same issues and he is switching back to Porsche. Porsche still seems to maintain some quality control.

Very comfortable car, but not a sports sedan
Prior to my 2014 320i xDrive, I drove a Mini Countryman, a mini cooper, and a 2011 hyundai sonata. Pros: This BMW is easily one of the best looking cars on the road. It is very quiet inside around town, with a comfortable ride. The transmission is excellent. Shifts are smooth and unintrusive. Turbo lag is absent. The controls are intuitive. Cons: Steering is more similar to the Hyundai than MINI. It is VERY numb on center, though it firms up as you turn. Brakes offer no feeling - like stepping on a cloud instead. Highway wind noise is intrusive. iDrive doesn't sync too well with my iPhone 6+ - it says "transferring data" instead of showing my contacts.

Saves gas and still fun to drive!
The 328d may be one of the slower models of the fleet, but it's torque to horsepower ratio is superb.

Bucket List Item Checked!
This is one powerful car. If you have a lead foot like I, it may only be a matter of time before you are a bit carried away, and you find yourself with a ticket. I have only driven this car for about a month and I couldn't be more pleased. I waited over a year for any dealer to find a manual transmission! What a rare find...and the color is great, and the leg room is even better, and....and....and.....Such fun, especially for a wild and crazy ol' lady. I guess you get what you pay for.....! Thanks Edmunds for the gas card.

Great if you buy it used
Overpriced when new. Great price when purchased used off a three-year lease because of rapid depreciation. Technology in the car, especially head-up display, is exceptional. However, navigating the options within that technology is much too convoluted and complex. UPDATE: I've now had the car for three years, although we've driven less than 10,000 miles/year. No repairs at all. The only things I've replaced are tires and wiper blades. I'm impressed and delighted.
