This is my 2nd BMW. My first was a 2014 328xi and I LOVED everything about it, except the fact that I was in 3 accidents with it, which is why I did not buy it after my lease. I was told by the BMW salesperson that the 320xi was exactly like my 328xi. Lies. It is actually nothing like it except that they are both BMWs. I can tell you that this is a slug at 180hp, a slug. Also, I am getting 20, yes 20 miles per gallon out of this car and I have about 4,000 miles on it. My much faster, more hp 328xi got at least 24 mpg. Also, something is rattling already on the ceiling/door panel, I cannot quite pinpoint it but I don't think that should be happening on a brand new BMW. Doors also feel cheap. I would recommend getting a 328 or 330 instead of a 320...they are WORLDS different. This car would not stop me from getting another BMW and I cannot wait to get out of this lease!

Girlfriend loves the "her" car!

Got a CPO 2016 with less than 15K miles from local BMW dealer(Century BMW-Greenville, SC). Sales process was fantastic and made very easy! Dark gray exterior with black, non-leather seats...with the Sport package(a must). Handles wonderfully, but not a hot rod...at least for me. Girlfriend, for whom I bought it, loves it though as compared to her old 2013 Honda Accord. Doesn't have the navigation or even heated seats, but it is the core of what I grew up knowing about BMWs: great handling cars, with a torquey engine, and very-good build quality. Anxious myself to take it on a trip to air it out a little. She tells me the gas mileage is as good, if not better, than her Honda Accord. That's a welcome thing to hear! Hard to beat getting such a nice car for the same price as a brand new, but more mundane car. Only small complaint relates to the run-flat tires...not cheap at about $300/tire. Oh well...

Car rides great, drives great and gets great gas mileage. Love the way it handles and performs. Could not be happier with our purchase. We have owned the car for over 2 years and it has been in the shop only once for a minor problem besides the routine service. It came with 4 years free maintenance. 😎😎

Spacious but nicely fits into parking spaces. The car drives beautifully and is so good with steering. You can feel the power and accelerate, but it's not loud or noisy. Couldn't be happier.

Third BMW... lease it instead

OK, here is a fair review of my third BMW. I have had 2 ...5 series...in the past. I bought them. After they got out of warranty they cost me a lot of money. So this time I decided to lease a car. Three series is smaller than the five ...obviously ..but it has grown over the years. The backseat has plenty of room. I find the three series less smooth.four-cylinder engine is a bit underpowered. I hate stop start function. Just turn it off. German interiors can be spartan, options add up quickly. There are a few nitpick cons I have. I hated that you have to unlock the door from the center of the console. Fake leather seats not quite as comfortable as the real leather. I drive is a mixed bag. The back up camera screen too small for a luxury car.Japanese car interiors are more intuitive. Controls are easier to read. If you don't get navigation then you can't speak to call... we have to use the rotary I drive dial. Get the parking sensors and the automatic door lock feature at a minimum. All-wheel-drive is a plus. I leased my BMW certified preowned. Got a great lease rate and the maintenance included. What I do like is the drive, the feel, The car hugs the road and gives you a great driving experience. I like the three driving mode feature...comfort,sport, eco.I got the white with black interior. I love this color combination.
