So far I've had the brakes completely redone, fuel pump replaced, dealer-inserted foam to stop a steering wheel road noise, worn out a set of tires at 33K due to a faulty alignment, and now the transmission is acting up intermittently. All this has been paid for out of warranty, except the alignment/tires. I asked BMW USA to fix the alignment, but they refused. I love the looks of this car, but would never buy another one. It makes me sad since I've always dreamed of owning a BMW.

The best engine, worst infotainment

BMW knows how to build a car and engine. They however don’t know anything about how to properly make computer systems.. Nothing is more frustrating then getting into a fantastic driving machine only to have a infotainment system that is literally useless. With constant reboots, freezing and sometime not even turning on , all without the ability to totally shut the system off, you quickly find out how much you just want out of the car.sure there is the display off option , however ... that doesn’t mean the system is actually off. Oh even better let’s try to completely reset the whole system without needing the dealership... also not an option. Cap that off with BMWs most amazing NON TRANSFERABLE warranty , and your looking at an easy and unrealizable repai that cost anywhere from $1000 or more . I still love the brand , BMW makes true luxury sports car and the build quality shows all of that. style wise the car is timeless and hold a unique design that no matter what year or model you drive , if well maintained and cared for, will still grant you many compliments. Interior is symplistic and comfortable and lush in soft touch areas and high quality hardware and leathers . Seats are firm and supportive, engine noise is let in just enough to let the driver feel truly satisfied when stepping on the gas peddle. The sport seats hug but and can be tight for larger frames , but have the option of electronic adjustability . Remove the rediculous IDRIVE BMW system and you have a piece of German engineering that is a vehicle that is sexy to look and a true fun. Fast joy to drive.

This is my third 3 series and likely my favorite. Huge fan of the AWD. The sports seats are very comfortable and I love the speedometer projected onto the windshield and the rear backup camera. Navigation was used once and I am concerned as it routed me 80 miles for a trip that should be less than 20 miles. Hopefully user error but I am suspicious. Steering is light for me and not what it was in my 2011 nor my 2006. Updated 20Jun2017. Enjoying the car. Found the kick under the rear fender to open the trunk feature which is great when hands are full. The technology elements are great, but ease of use could be much better. Still, I love this car. Updated 27Jun2018. Still enjoying the car but wish the steering was not so light. Navigation working well and receiving updates. Once received a warning about a traffic problem miles ahead which turned out to be a tree that had fallen. Impressed by the warning.

Nice Car

It is a nice car and like most things about it. It does have road and wind noise though compared to previous BMW that I have owned. The menus for the iDrive are not that intuitive, but it does have many bells and whistles. The climate control is slow to respond to the temperature requirements for the fan.

Get a better 3series - not a 320

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!
