Everything you would ever want in a sedan and more

Not too sure what the nay sayers are speaking about as the new F30's are just a dream to drive. The base models are just that, basic, but they will still offer a great ride without all the advancements of premium packages. Having had a plethora of sedans over the years we can wholeheartedly say this is by far THE best one yet. The 340i is a joy to drive and is a driver oriented car. The engine is smooth as silk and makes puts out some serious low end torque. For the price, this sedan is far worth it!

Pleasure to drive

If you are looking for a fast sedan that gives you a thrill when driving, then this is one to drive. The acceleration is phenomenal. It has launch control for quick take offs and awd for traction. In Sport + mode this car is like a 70's muscle car to drive. It does the 1/4 mile in 13.4 sec and 0-60 in 4.6 secs. It will put your back into the seat and a smile on your face in an instant. Gas mileage is OK but only in economy mode with the air conditioning off. Comfort mode and above allow you to watch the gas gauge move frequently. I average 22 mpg. I bought this car and now regret not leasing for 3 years. Lease is best. The sound system is great. Overall this car has been a pleasure to own for the last three years and 13500 miles. I do not drive this car in the winter.

Best 4-banger for your buck

This is a great car! It's fast (especially in sport plus mode with the transmission lever kicked to the left), fun to drive, handles confidently, looks and feels elegant (at least with the leather seats and wood trim) and has intuitive tech features. I also love the car's styling- It's sporty and aggressive, but refined enough to take to a michelin rated restaurant or valet park at the Ritz. Overall, I think the 328i (and 340i) are a best-of-all-worlds choice. You can't go wrong with this car.
