Ok, i'll start off first with the pros. The car is F.A.S.T! If I need to get around someone on the freeway, I barely even touch the gas pedal, and i'm in front of them. The gas mileage is great, considering I have a lead foot (average freeway speed is 80 mph). Also, the seats are the most comfortable seats I have a had in a luxury car. And trust me, all my life I have owned luxury vehicles (Range Rovers, other BMWs, Mercedes, and even Audis). The iDrive is AMAZING! I owned the 2007 BMW 750Li when it came out, and holy crap did the iDrive suck! It great now! Now the cons. Resale value is horrible! My Range Rover was a 2009 HSE Sport and I sold it in 2011 and got 35k for it! I already checked the BlueBook value for my 335Xi and its already down to 40k! Ughh! When you start the car, it sounds like a crazy diesel motor for a second! Coming back to a pro though, the drive is so smooth compared to my old 2010 Mercedes 350 Sport! The car has the smoothest suspension I have ever dealt with! And heading back to cons, the rear seats aren't that comfortable if you don't have the heated rear seats option (I do but my friend has a 2014 328Xi with no heated rear seats). And my god, the navigation has sent me to more dead ends then I care to recall. Thats about all my issues I have with it for now. I recommend buying one for sure! Good luck!

2015 BMW 3 Series 320i 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Black on Black 320i with manual 6 speed, Sport, Premium and Driver Assistance packages, plus heated front seats. I've had it for two weeks and less than 500 miles. I traded in a 2013 Honda Accord Sport CVT. The Honda had accumulated some equity in the lease, so it went back 5 months early; the dealer paid it all off (residual and 5 payments) leaving a zero balance against the BMW lease. Impressive for Honda. . In several ways, I miss the Honda: the "infotainment" was better. The BMW does not have a Pandora source in its system. Yes, it will stream music, but you control it from the smartphone, not through the car. Rebound control seemed better than the BMW, especially for the rear. I really liked the CVT. ( I don't like automatic transmissions with gears, so I got the manual BMW.) The BMW gas mileage in suburban traffic seems about the same as the Accord, which was excellent: 26 to 40 mpg. Power seems similar also, but the BMW is MUCH quieter and smoother, so it's hard to tell. The BMW certainly seems to have enough power, but it's not a racer. (I purposely looked for a low-powered BMW to save on traffic tickets, based on past experience with other BMWs. This is the primary reason why the 320i attracted me - it's sensible and well balanced.) But when you consider that the BMW lease payment is just $6 more than the Honda payment (although I did kick in a little cash to cover tax and tags), and that it has far more premium features than the Honda did, not to mention all that comes with the BMW brand, The BMW Club, you see the advantage. I'm looking forward to "growing into" the BMW as it breaks in. ONE YEAR LATER: After 14,000 miles, I wouldn't change much about what I wrote previously. However, this car is GOOD on gas. 33-36 around suburbia, and 42 at 70 MPH on cruise, over a 150 mile trip. I've done that trip several times. There are no rattles of any kind. It still doesn't seem fast, but high speed cruising (80+) is excellent, when possible and safe. But I still miss the Honda sometimes, and probably will take another look at that brand in two more years. If I ever get another BMW, I probably won't choose to get the sport seats - they make getting into the car more difficult than it needs to be. This car is a 2015 model. Handling is good, not not appreciably better in feel than my old Accord. I'm sure that if put on a racetrack, the BMW would go around faster than the Accord, but in daily driving, they feel nearly the same. I understand there were some suspension improvements on the 2016. At 20000 miles, I put on Michelin pilot sport as 3 plus non run flat tires. I saved the old continental run flats to put back on for lease end. They have plenty of tread. With the michelins, it's like going from square to round to put it simply. What a difference. If I do get a flat, I have an inexpensive can of Slime and a compressor. If I ever get another car with summer run flat tires, I'll make this change in week one. Otherwise I stand by my previous comments. 27000 Miles: I also have a 1997 Z3 that I have renovated. Lately, I'm choosing to drive it over the 320i. It just drives better even though it uses a lot more gas. I'm looking forward to the end of the 320i lease so that I can find another used BMW to fix up. Still, the 320 is a great car for long trips. 35000 miles: Ditto the last comments above. It’s an excellent car that feels like it would last another 20 years with no problem. I’m wondering about my lease mileage choice (15,000/year). I have 6 months left to drive 10,000 miles. Either I set off across the country, or turn the car in with significant unused miles. I tried out a 2018 Accord. If I do get a new car, that will be it. Looking at residual value, this 320i would cost $24,999 to buy. It does have special equipment, but similar 320’s are already available for $23,000 full retail price, and with less mileage. That’s the same price range as a brand new Accord Sport. I think Ill just use the Z3 as my daily driver for a while, or pick up a used 8-10 year old Bimmer for $ mid-teens. The brand does still have exclusivity. FINA Review: As promised above, I found a 2002 BMW 330ci convertible with 59000 miles. For $7,000. It was a local car, too. After purchase, I added a Bluetooth device, did a LOT of cosmetic cleanup and painting in the interior, refinished the leather seats, had quite a few dents taken out by paintless dent repair, replaced all four rotors and pads with ceramic pads (no dust), Painted the wheels and the rear bumper, and now have a very respectable $9,000 car that should be reliable for quite some time. I returned the 320i three months early to save on insurance. So, the overall review of the 320i is “meh”.

I downgraded power from a 2011 328i sedan to a 2015 320i sedan. Not much is lost with the power for the price. The 2015 320i is more of a comfortable ride and the interior styling is very luxurious. I think for the price the 320 beats the 328 and the power is still there with the turbo added.

I am on my 21st BMW. Having lived in Germany for a decade, all I did was fix up and drive BMWs, Mercedes, and Porsches. My current BMW is an 06 330i for which I was seeking a newer replacement. Since 2012, the 3 series has went to electronic steering. The car no longer transmits "road feel". If you push it in a corner, it no longer feeds the driver input that makes a sports car a sports car--it doesn't matter what mode (sports, comfort, etc it is set in) The brakes have a regeneratative feature that makes them clunky--they have lost their ability for the driver to modulate them--just like the steering. The engine exhaust note is lacking, especially when the biturbo is kicked in. It kind of sounds like a metal trash can with some marbles rolling around in it--when you get deep into the throttle, the 300hp being unleashed should have a growl and not sound like a muffled trash can with marbles. The rest of the car is classic BMW, the ergonomics are what has made the 3 series a Road and Track and Motor Trend car of the year winner in its class since its production--that has not changed. It has beautiful lines, beautiful interior appointments, and another 80 more horsepower than my current 06. One of the new technology enhancement I like is the heads up display--it also has simplified GPS info--only the turn in so many miles/ft--just what is needed on the windshield--the rest is still on the main display. Overall, I won't be buying. I could change the exhaust--but I can't change the brakes or steering which are so important to a sports car feel. BMW has tried to have an appeal to a broader audience and has left its enthusiast drivers sort of wanting more. This Ultimate Driving Machine has now been tamed and is now just a normal driving machine with sleek body lines and a little more hp under the hood.

We obtained this vehicle from a family member. We are pleased with the car. We have only had it for two weeks. It did sit in a driveway for a couple of months. The brakes are being checked out this week as there is a slight pulsating feeling...especially when coming off a highway and slowing to a stop for a light or stop signs. Could be from sitting but want to have it checked out by the dealer. No steering wheel shaking...that is a good thing. We are used to driving SUVs. It will take a bit for us to get used to sitting lower in a car like this one. The HD radio is a little annoying. There is a "skip" and echo's that can be heard when listening in HD mode. It happens while using Bluetooth as well. There is a blog online that mentions this problem. I guess one will have to get used to it. The car could use a one or two more USB ports. I don't have NAV...cannot comment on that. Cannot comment on dealership just yet but so far, they have been good to work with. Hopefully, I won't have to mention maintenance cost anytime soon. I thought resale value would be a little higher for a BMW...even at the 320ixdrive level. Maintenance is not transferrable but if there is a problem with the brakes, the car's warranty will cover that within the first 4 yrs or 50k miles. We are covered there. Since my last review, I had the brakes serviced. The issue was from the car sitting in a driveway for a while. It was also in a garage for a bit. Either way, from not being driven, the rotors had developed some deposits on them that could not be "driven off". The dealer resurfaced the rotors and put new brakes pads on all four spots. The car drives like a dream now. It is night and day. Extremely happy with my BMW 320i Xdrive!!!

I bought this car as a CPO about 2 years ago. Car is great. The only downside are the seats that are definitely too hard and lack of lumbar adjustment. Breaks could also be slightly stronger... Other than that, performance and quality are outstanding. Just like any other BMW, avoid using regular fuel (87) so you can really get what a BMW engine can offer (smoothness, strong and quick reactions without any Knocks and pings).

This car has met or exceeded my expectations in every category. It provides outstanding performance, excellence MPG (38 mpg on first trip of 55, 65 and 70 mph while in comfort mode), the navigation system is excellence, blue tooth setup and streaming is perfect, seats are very comfortable, and the styling continues to be one of the most beautiful on the road. If you are looking for a entry level sport sedan that does everything well while maintaining the right balance between performance and luxury, you can not go wrong with the 2015 BMW 3 series. This vehicle is a blast to drive, while at the same time providing all the technology and creature comforts any one could desire!

I bought this 320i with about 46K miles on it. At about 55k is when all the Problems began. The Pulley on the Alternator self destructed. I replaced it myself took about 2 hours... then it started to Leak oil and smoke all the time. The oil cooler gaskets failed and were leaking on the Serpentine belt, which caused the Belt and Tensioner to fail too. I replaced the cooler Gaskets and Tensioner and belt myself, which took about 3 hours. Next, the Cooling hoses started failing one by one, along with the reservoir, and cap. I replaced them all. then the water pump failed. So I basically replaced the entire cooling system, with the exception of the radiator and Elec Fans. then the Oil Filter Cap started to Leak Oil all over. Then the Valve Cover Gasket started to leak. Now onto the Electrical system. The Battery was dead when i came out from work I thought maybe i didn't get the radio turned off. Next morning Dead again. I replaced the battery, which then proceeded to die on my way home on i95. I had to get it towed to the mechanic. they replaced the battery and claimed it was fixed. nope, 2 days later dead again. It was sent to a specialist who took 2 weeks to find the problem. Turns out, it was the IBS / intelligent battery sensor.. Now, the front hubs appear to be almost gone. I will fix that in a couple of weeks . One more thing... I am getting a P0171 code. System Lean, Bank One. I now have a little over 72k Miles on this car. I have spent Over $7000.00 in repairs this year alone. luckily i have been able to do some of them myself, otherwise it would have easily been $15000.00 in repairs I got a quote from BMW for one hose for $1200.00. I bought the Hose for $50.00 and replaced it myself. I took it into the dealer to test the timing chain as well, since they are Notorious for failure... there was a class action lawsuit concerning the Timing chain on the n20 Engine. No car should have this many failures at less than 70,000 Miles... absolutely ridiculous! I will never buy a BMW again, or any German car for that matter. I will warn as many people as I can about this Utter horrific so called quality car maker as I possibly can. I will buy Japanese from now on. this is my first and last BMW One other thing. I bought an upgraded AAA membership, which allows 5 towing instances per year. I used them all up this year. BMW, you should be ashamed !

I purchased this car new and had it for almost 4 years and 54,000 miles. I test drove several competitors at the time, including the Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS350, and even the ford mustang and chevrolet camaro since I wanted a manual transmission. It was apparent the first second I drove off the lot that the BMW was special. There's just some type of intangible driving feel that they have and the other cars don't. That, combined with the phenomenal interior and exterior quality, made my purchase easy. I wasn't originally planning on spending as much as I did on a car (was looking at the 328i first), but that inline six was intoxicating and I ended up factory ordering one the day I test drove. Over the life of the car, I had a blast. A few small suspension mods and ditching the run flat tires made the car so competent in the corners, and a tune made it just fast enough to be a lot of fun but not break every law in America in under 5 seconds. The balance of performance and comfort was fantastic. Unfortunately I needed a towing vehicle so I had to part ways, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another F30 in the future if I have the chance. I didn't have any reliability issues to speak of and the interior still looked brand new at 54,000 miles with virtually no wear and tear.

I'm sure it's been written many times before and I'm going to sound like an old fart, but it's sad what has become of this car. I owned a 2001 330 Xi for 14 years and it was the most fun car to drive. The minute you got in it and started to drive, it made you smile. Good in city and on snow, and punch it into a turn or a corner and the back end sits down and keeps the whole thing under control. I'm not a sports car aficionado, but that is how I imaging a sports car should be (and actually how my BMW motorcycle is). IMO, the "old 3" really was an ultimate driving machine. The newer versions have lost this, and yes I've driven a bunch of different models (328, X, 335, etc.). It's a real shame. I now drive an Audi A4, which I felt was better but still doesn't approach my old 3, and is about 2x the price. It's sad and somewhat hard to understand.

We have been BMW enthusiast since the early 70's. I also ride a '05 R1200RT 3000 mile trips tent and sleeping bag. I would agree with the negative changes in the newer cars. The loss of steering and brake input. I have had many 2002's -'68, '72, '73, E28 535i, '96 328iC, '02 325i all fun to drive. But the driver experience of our pervious BMW's is much greater than our new 2016 328i M sport. Even the Sport+ mode the road input is lacking. The newer BMW 3 series have become IMHO homogenized : (. Its been a year milage is 13,225. Still stand by my above comment. One trouble some thing. The internal exhaust tip is coated with a heavy carbon build up (soot). We have a Mercedes Sprinter 3500 RV. The internal exhaust tip is super clean and its a diesel!! The black carbon on our BMW is unburnt fuel, as I understand. Why else for the carbon build up. Dealer says its the norm!

Wow.... I have no idea what else to say! The acceleration is amazing. When driving it you feel like the vehicle fits you like a glove. You feel safe. You are one with the vehicle. I had test drove Mustangs back a couple years ago, and although they were fast as all hell they just felt like I was driving a boat. Not to mention the options weren't there. I have had this vehicle for a couple years and have still not found all the gadgets, and things that it can do. I am surprised all the time when finding something new the 335i can do. Did I mention the 335i is quick/fast? It pins you back in the seat when you step on it.

Bought this car CPO in 2018 with 30,000 miles. For having a 4-Cylinder, the car has a lot of pickup, is high-revving, and overall fun to drive. Fuel economy highway is 35-40 mpg. Usually in the city it gets into the 20's range. My car is the Sport package which means it has 18" wheels and M Sport steering wheel, which I would definitely recommend. The upgraded screen is needed in my opinion as well. That being said, the car is very comfortable for a small sports sedan. iDrive is user friendly, and I love it. Back seat and trunk are fairly roomy. Reliability wise, the car has done 10,000 miles with the only issue being a blown fuel injector (Don't use 87 Fuel). The battery also loses charge when it is cold out, such as 10 to -45 degrees Fahrenheit. Overall this car is really a great bargain, if you are on the fence about purchasing one, get a PPI and make sure it is good, and make the right decision!

Absolutely love driving this car. Hugs the road and has adequate power and acceleration for me. Shocking to find that I can cruise along at 70 mph and get 41 mpg...only one major issue. I can only get one cart size golf bag in trunk. Even then the driver must be removed from the bag and carefully fit in cross wise before I can close the trunk. When I pick up a friend his clubs have to go in back seat. Some of the controls and safety features are a little quirky, ie, double pulls for the doors, trunk. The radio controls take a little time to learn but now seem easy enough. Overall, happy with this little BMW as for the money it’s great. Been trouble free as well with no mechanical issues or problems. It might ride a little better if I replaced the run flats, but I’m ok with them so I will keep. 2015 model year Update: Had a bad o2 sensor with check engine light but covered by warranty at 34,000 miles. Otherwise been trouble free. Honestly, I have found some features very annoying. For example, the double pull door handles. I have had a couple of passengers almost pull the handle off trying to get the door open. Also, no option to have all doors unlock when driver door unlocks. The radio is aggravating to use as it is not user friendly for tuning or changing stations. Unlike some, I have not found the auto off for the engine problematic. I also don’t like having the door unlock button in the middle of the dash board. It is, however, a hoot to drive. Feels light and nimble. A fun car to drive with adequate power.

I am the owner of the previous model of the 3 series, and had this car as a loaner for a month and over 2k miles in driving. It fixes everything that was "annoying" with the old model; a nice smooth 8 speed automatic transmission, really strong acceleration, no more bone-jarring over NY/NJ potholes, and a functional navigation that actually has useful up-to-date traffic information. City MPG is not much better, but highway is where it shines (~30% better MPG). Unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positive. Starting the car, you hear this annoying diesel like clatter. The power steering is one of the best I've ever driven, but still lackluster in feedback. Brake pedal is nice and firm like the BMW norm, but it takes forever to stop and also lurches when used in force. Interior plastics have gone down to Honda/Toyota levels - tap the console under the CD changer and you will hear lots of clack. Overall, much more plastic and less wood. If you are a typical Mercedes/Audi driver, this 3 series generation will appeal - all the "complaints" from previous generations such as stiff steering, firm ride, etc. are gone with this car. If you're a BMW purist, you will hate this car as much as I did. I have never been happier to turn in my loaner car, to get my real car back!

This is my second BMW. My first, 2009 335xi I purchased new and I absolutely love. Great road feel, steering is awesome, great acceleration, leather, etc. I never considered buying anything but another BMW. So disappointed in this 2015 335 xi. Numb steering, cheap feel of fake leather (sensa tech), cheap feel of the steering wheel, overall this car is not as good as my '09. When I bought this 2015 car I gave the 2009 to my wife, but being so disappointed in this 2015 I took back the 2009 car. Don't know if I will buy another BMW after this experience.

I will start by saying I own a 2014 328xi. I love the acceleration and the way the car handles. The gas mileage is phenomenal! My problem is comfort. I have taken this car on 2 long trips and both times came home with a herniated disc.....L4,L5. I was not doing any heavy lifting so I know that was not the cause. My chiropractor said that he has many patients who own BMWs in all models and herniated discs are a problem. He has even written BMW about this. If BMW can make such a wonderful car mechanically, why can't they make a comfortable one?? I traded this BMW in for a Nissan Murano and am much happier!

....but someone ought to. No neck-snapping acceleration, especially with the ix version. More than ample power, however. Most importantly, fuel consumption in hybrid territory. Just did a quick (average speed 68.2 mph) Philly-Washington, DC round trip including stop-and-go on both ends. Less than a half tank of gas, 39.1 mpg according to the meter. No, I wasn't drafting 18-wheelers.

Yes, Gotta have it. There is a real break-in period. There are noticeable improvements in shifting smoothness ( 6 spd manual), although maybe it's me that is breaking in to the car. This car is plenty fast (for me, anyway) and a great, quiet cruiser. Just for fun, I reset the computer after getting on 95 for a trip up to NJ. With a steady 70 mph on cruise control, the consumption was an average of 43 mpg over approx. 100 miles. Granted, that is purely just a 70 mph cruise with no stopping or much accelerating, except for tolls and pit stops, but it is an eye-opener when you look at that display. Around the suburban area where I live, the mileage hovers around 30 mpg. My usual drive mode is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, then 6th gears, revving to about 3000-3500 in 1st and 2nd. Not exactly a feather foot. Recently, at 20000 miles through an allowed 45000 miles on my lease, and halfway through the time of the lease, I took off and saved the run flat tires. They will be reinstalled when I return the car. The new Michelin pilot sport ps 3 plus all season tires make a huge difference, like going from square to round tires. The rolling resistance is far less (I can push the car with one hand). It is tranformed into a quiet, fast, road eater. I added a can of slime and a small air compressor in case of a flat. This is common on higher performance cars like the BMW M and some Mustangs. I highly recommend this change.

Let's be realistic; with so many cars on the line, there are many choices, unlike in the 90s BMW was the only one. My 5th Bmw from 99M3-4 328's 2015 was the worst first off; the interior is outdated. Most components are plastic, including the pulleys, which left me on the side of the road and almost killed the engine due to the belt from the tensioner failing I treat my cars with supper delicacy, including service always beyond what's expected. It is a very high-maintenance BMW compared to the older models good on gas, but you need to use 91 + octane.

7,600 miles and six months after warranty expired chassis stabilization warning light light came on abs and brake light came on. picture of a car skidding appeared on dash. Cost me $500.00 to replace "speed sensor" Both rear wheels speed sensors have gone bad and have been replaced. Expensive.

I bought a loaded 328i M-sport, love the car, I'd only buy it with all the great tech options. If you want the brand, engine, transmission, and base features buy it! If you want one with the bells and whistles, be prepared to own it for life, because the resale is terrible (you don't get any value for the packages , only Navigation). Especially with sub models, lease/purchase specials, and CPOs). All in all I love driving my car, but I hate that I'm upside down in it for its life... I'd like to upgrade in the future, but due to its cost from all the options I'll be stuck for at least 3 years. This isn't a problem for normal people but my automotive shelf life is 1 year to 18 months,,, so I'm salty. UPDATE: Traded the car in and got destroyed on the value... Actually tried to trade it in at the BMW dealership I bought it from, their trade in offer was the lowest of all dealerships i visited. Paid a ton of negative equity to dump the car. My wife wanted the 428 Grand Coupe, so we leased one from the lessons learned from the 3 series.

I purchase this car Feb 2016. It was 2015 BMW 328i. I saved $10k in the purchase of the $51k vehicle. I put $6k down. Unfortunately I was involved in accident which total the car. This vehicle within 1 year has depreciated $20k. Bad investment.

This is my first BMW, I found it to have enough HorsePower even though I read reviews otherwise, Great for getting on the high way or pass. I do find the steering almost too smooth and easy to float over the road. Very comfortable ride. I like the front look of this better than the newer models. Since buying the car the gas mileage is averaging up as well because I am paying attention after replacing my VM turbo Diesel.

Took the certified pre owned warranty maintenance package. Fun car with a niche drive. Will see how the winter handling is with the PA snowfall.

I have had my 2015 BMW 328i RWD for 2 years now. I got it at 35K miles, now it has 47K miles, and honestly, at 57, I see it lasting me the rest of my life. I have three cars, a 2016 LR4 Landmark (dog car), and a 1989 Mercedes 560SL other than this BMW. The BMW is by far the most fun of them all to drive around town. I get combined about 22mpg, but that's because I can't stop driving it like I stole it. My kid borrowed it for a while and she got 26mpg combined. If you want a fun sedan that can get the groceries, haul a few people, and is reasonably comfortable for a small sedan, this is a great choice. There are lots of groups on Facebook with help if you need some help fixing something at home, and lots of aftermarket add-ons for the car including iPlay for your iPhone.

I bought my BMW 2015 328i in 2018 with 19K miles as a certified pre-owned. I have had it for 6 years and it now has 65K miles on it. I was thinking of getting a new car but when I test drove new cars I realized just how much I like my BMW. So I'm going to keep it for at least another year or probably more. I'm retired so drive less than 5K miles a year. The interior still looks new and it's just a really well built car.

this is my wifes car. She has had 3 BMWs, I hated all 3, problems, problems and more problems and it cost too much to fix. BMW are nice performing cars but unless you plan on trading it in in 2 years do not buy
Love this car!
