Shop around, values are out there, reminds me of a more luxurious, powerful version of a 1971 2002 I had years ago, and it's a wagon! Very glad I have all the premium packages, sets my wagon apart from others I see on the road Still thoroughly satisfied.

Powertrain Malfunction

This is my first BMW. Car only has 79,900 miles on it. Last week came up with error message Powertrain Malfunction. Shortly thereafter, engine light came on and vehicles started bucking. Told the guys at Smithtown dealership and they recommended changing the antifreeze. Got it back and drove ok for about 10 days. Now its undriveable. Just had tow truck pick it up. Had them bring it to another BMW dealership. Wonder if it got worse due to not rectifying problem when it was originally brought into Smithtown. Car only serviced in BMW shops. Just didnt expect such a big thing with such few miles on the vehicle.

This is a great car with all the known characteristics of a BMW 3 series plus an amazing gas mileage and superb power and torque. The car has been a joy to drive around town and even better on the highway and specifically mountain roads. I love this car.

I agree with a lot of the last review. For me it was hard to get in and out of the car and I am 5'-6". 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. Somehow the front was couple of inches longer than the previous model, and I was always scraping the bumper when I parked - the car was a bit too low and too long in the front. After 4 years and 34k miles, the car depreciated 19K or about 60% and already has an oil leak. I liked the exterior styling of it but never liked it as much as my previous 328i from 2000 (which I drove until 2014!)

Loses value at a spectacular rate: $35k to $21k over 2 years! My experience and in line with Edmund's estimates at the time of purchase and trade in. Repairs are at a luxury car rate which is unlikely to be in your range if you are buying a used car. My experience over two BMWs is about $2k repairs per year once out of warranty. The tires are run flats which are almost twice the price of non run flats, are much more difficult to mount so can be damaged in the process and take much longer to mount (more heal cooling at the tire shop and some will not bother with them). The service people at the dealership were very pleasant but not impressed with the work. At a full stop, it was near impossible to get from neutral to first gear (M6 transmission). I took it to the dealership three times and was told each time that the transmission was working within factory specifications! Rather than suffering the horns behind me, the solution was to slip into first gear while still rolling. It also needed some suspension work but was covered under the extended warranty. Arm rest gets in the way of shifting the manual transmission so took some time to adjust. Great seats but ride was still uncomfortable, particular for the passenger. Handling was surprising mediocre. More recent 3 series loaners were even worse. My 2008 328xi was much better. Better in the sport mode but the car defaults to regular mode when turned off. Easy to change mode but a bother. Different modes dramatically alter gas pedal responsiveness. No big deal with an auto transmission but distressing when trying to hit the shifts with a manual. My wife, who drives stick quite well, refused to drive it after a couple of times. If you thinking about a BMW, lease for no longer than the factory warranty. Get a BMW for neighbor envy but not because it is the ultimate driving machine. 4/7/2020. Traded this car for a Golf R July 2018. The Golf is much better. Ride and handling are better. Transmission is easier to shift. Clutch is lighter and more predictable. Better acceleration. Only advantage of the BMW is that it had a sun roof.
