My 328d now has roughly 12k miles on it now, and as I type this the car is sitting at the BMW dealer with the techs trying to figure out what's wrong with it. Basically, they don't know for sure and they've reached out to senior engineers at BMW for answers. To date they have fixed a squeaky dash that was missing a clip from the factory. They have removed a stink bug from inside the right tail light (A common problem with bugs getting in it seems). They gave the car back without repairs for an engine idle problem at stoplights, saying they couldn't reproduce it. The engine acts like it wants to shut off and shakes the whole car. I video'd the tach jumping around and gave it back again.
Fun Vehicle with Outstanding MPG

Picked up a 2014 328d a month ago. Was in dealership looking at a few models and spotted the 328d. Took it for a test drive. Leased one. Some folks comment negatively on the premium for the 328d over a gas model. However, on a lease you only pay for about 40 percent of the difference which is likely more than offset by the increased MPG. My first tank averaged about 42mpg, mixed city and country driving. Second tank improved to 46 mpg also with mixed driving. I attribute the difference to driving in the Eco Pro mode with a bit more attention to the mpg. Vehicle seems very well put together and is a blast to drive.

Got this 3 serie wagon in the fall and have driven about 1,800 miles. The car performs flawlessly. It's fun to drive, taunt and the interior execution is fantastic. At the end of the week I can't help but smile when I realise I get a combined 35 mpg on a week of driving. This little machine will outperform 90% of V6 engines out there (although 0-60 is still a bit slow for my taste).
Close to the ideal all around car

This is a great little car! It hugs the road and is a pleasure to drive. It gets great fuel mileage and is very comfortable on long trips. The only downside is that BMW "nickels and dimes" you on packages rather than making everything standard on an automobile in this category.

6 months, 6000 miles....Love it, bottom line! I am dealing with more city driving, getting 32-33 mpg. I do miss driving a manual trans. but the paddle shifters and sport mode make up for it. Space is amazing for hauling people under 6 ft. Update (almost 3 years - 31k miles) of ownership.... At 23k miles, the transfer case had to be replaced under warranty. The replacement unit was a re-manufactured unit. Not pleased and doesn't give me much confidence in the car. More importantly, VAG and diesel-gate has hurt the resale value, should I have wanted to trade it in, sell, etc... Mark my words, diesel is dead in America and looking abroad, it is going to quickly die in Europe, etc... as a result of diesel-gate. Most recent update (over 4 years, 50k miles), Transfer case had to be replaced, again at 40k miles and was replaced under warranty. Not cool! Car has performed pleasantly on two, not one, but two cross USA trips over 1700 miles each. Car still puts a smile on my face while driving it, so still on the fence for trading it in.
