Used 2016 BMW 3 Series 328i xDrive SULEV 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
BMW figured it out
For 2016, BMW has really improved the 3 series, particularly the 328i model. I was very impressed with the handling, and interior upgrades that make the car feel more expensive and more like a true BMW again. The steering still has an artificial feel, but it is very precise and they have fixed the handling issues of the early models of this generation. The car feels well composed and can take just about anything you throw at it. Acceleration is terrific, and I found braking response to be just okay. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds great, and I wish it was standard as it is in the 340 - would definitely recommend it. LED lighting package is well worth the money as it looks great with LEDs all around including turn signals front and rear. Safety ratings are superb with five stars, and lots of available safety enhancing technology. I hesitated for years to trade my 2011 3 series in for one of the new models, but I feel great about getting this 2016 328i x drive, as BMW has finally figured out what we wanted. This car is fantastic.

2016 BMW 328i xdrive M-sport Estoril Blue
About 8 years ago I passed on purchasing a new 2008 328 and ever since I have kept my eyes on the advancements and improvements that BMW has come up with. This past month I traded in my 15' Ford SHO for a 16' lighly used dealer CPO Msport,IMO the best looking set up outside of the M3. Going from my 365 hp 4400 lb SHO that felt like a fraight train the 328 feels like a go cart and in a good way. Power always at the ready and the transmission always seems happy to play. The different drive modes are actually effective unlike some other brands. I love the idrive dial and technology and yet it keeps the classic BMW feel inside. Drove in a bad snow storm over the weekend and the awd system always felt planted and in control even when I pushed it. So far I love this car and I am excited to get in and drive it everyday.

BMW 3 Number 3
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.

The High Price Of Luxury.
For a German car that costs so much on initial purchase, It does not hold it value very long. If you like speed and tight performance, this could be the car for you. You feel every bump, crack and crannies in the road. The run flat tires with stiff sidewalls, adds to the performance level and harsh ride. The 2.0 liter turbo has plenty of get up and go upon request. The gas mileage was pretty good even while driving at 80 mph freeway speeds. You can hear the husky sound of the motor. Was not impressed with the purchase experience and readiness of the vehicle at pickup time. This soured my impression of BMW overall. The service department was unable to find a noise in the dashboard that was heard after a hard braking then accelerating. I usually don't buy the same brand twice.

Well, not so fast
I "upgraded" from a 328i 2008 to a 328i xdrive 2016, what a disappointment !! The 2016 is trash, a total waste of money, I miss my 2008 so much. This car sounds come from the speakers!! because the engine belongs in a civic, it's embarrassing to drive, if I could just return it I would, I have had bad cars in the past but this one beats them all, it belongs in a line of cars driven by people that don't like driving, DO NOT waste your money!! get you a 6 cylinder if you want to stay in love with the brand, this car is no longer a cut above or the "Driving Machine" they claim it is, not even close, it sounds like a sewing machine, don't say I didn't wan you !!
