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.

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.

Big Question Mark on BMW quality and services

1.5 years after purchase, my transmission gone bad and the dealer replaced it. The dealer replaced a couple of spark plugs in 2~3 years. The dealer didn't tell me about the replacement of spark plugs. Soon after the factory warranty expired, the intake valve was loose and the dealer needed to re-tighten it. Even well before the warranty expiration, the problem (jerking and shaking) associated with the loose intake valve started. Another BMW? No way!!! Buy American or Korean.

Just purchased a 2014 328i with the 4 cyl turbo. After 5000 miles, engine malfunction comes up on the display. After some research, looks like this is a common issue with these newer f30 3series. Usually a transmission failure or VANOS failure. [HTML removed]
