UPDATE: 4 years and 150,000 miles. Still no repairs or anything outside of regular maintenance. New battery finally replaced and coming up soon will be my first brake job. Still a wonderfully reliable car and looks amazing as long as I can keep it clean. I have owned this car for almost three years and so far it has been a wonderful car. No repairs at all outside of regular maintenance. The car still drives like it was new. I will say that this car is best suited for lots of highway driving but the seats in the sport model get very uncomfortable after about 45 minutes of driving. Handling is excellent. However, if something does go wrong with the car, there is no place but the dealership that will service it because it is the diesel model.

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.

Original review -- This bmw 328d is beautiful, sporty, economical (50mpg hwy), and with the diesel reliability, it should last me the rest of my life. Got buyback money from VW for my old 2009 Jetta TDI (which I also loved) and got this 2014 328d in perfect condition for buyback money plus $2000. These cars depreciate fast but most of that loss was incurred by the prior owner. Everything about the car seems very high quality, much more so that the Jetta was. Always looking fwd to taking it on another trip. 11/19/2021 Update -- Still absolutely love this car. Have had a few incidents where I had to hit the brakes pretty hard on the highway and take evasive action, and it handled beautifully. Only problems I've had so far are the nox sensors, which were covered under extended warranty, and the rear oxygen sensor which I had replaced. I dread the day I have to replace it with an all elec vehicle because I just love diesels. 5/12/2024 update -- Still loving this 328d beemer. So glad I got one before they stopped making diesels. No problems at all since my previous update. A beautiful ride with beautiful BMW style. This car is a long term keeper. 11/20/2024 Update -- Still loving this diesel BMW, and it's even more special now since you can't even buy diesel cars in the US anymore, thanks to VW dieselgate scandle. Not a big E-car fan yet and will never go back to gasoline, so still plan on keeping my ultra reliable diesel vehicles for a long time.

My wife and I purchased a 2014 328d sedan about 2 months ago and we could not be happier. She had a 2009 G8 GT and were used to driving a high performance car BUT it got horrible fuel mileage (avg 17.3 mpg). When I found the 328d and the 32-45mpg estimates I was very skeptical of the accuracy of that fuel rating but let me tell you right now for a fact, this car gets every bit of 45mpg on the highway and I drive it with a heavy foot. We took a 500 mile trip and I drove at 85-90 mph almost the whole way and I was blown away when I saw 42.2 MPG driving in comfort mode and I was not trying to conserve in any way. We have not found anything that we do not like about this car so far.
328d is great BUT!!!

I agree with most of the positive comments regarding owners inner feelings about owning a BMW. However, with sticker prices out of sight the real reviews should be on the cost to own an operate these cars. An oil change can run from $200 to more than $250 depending on what dealer you call. Run flats cost an arm and a leg- but BMW does not have to provide jack , spare not even a mobile repair kit. Everything and I do mean everything from brake pads to air filters cost 2x more than my 2014 full size hybrid. I got caught up in all the reviews both by pros and owners. Most do not talk about cost of maintain the car or it's overall reliability.
