I purchased a white 320xi. It comes with 4 years free maintenance. It's my first BMW, comfortable, quick, and very smooth. I wanted a compact car, but I also wanted a solid car that looks good, and is safe, reliable, and fun to drive. The 320xi has plenty of power for me. It took 800 plus miles on the engine until I could feel it begin to break in. The design is very pleasing to the eye -- exterior & interior. The controls are logical, and easy use. I have the Sensatec faux leather which I think is excellent. I prefer it over leather in some ways, mostly because I think leather has a strange smell. I think it is a good quality, solid car, and a good value for the money. Excellent build quality. I did, however, trade it in for a Mercedes Benz E350, that has more comfortable seats and doesn't ride so low. (I traded the E350 for a Porsche Macan, that I think has a more heavy duty suspension, and more comfortable seats.) I have two negative opinions: First, no spare tire came with the car, and I'm not comfortable with that; and second, I found it difficult to get in and out of the 320xi, and the seats gave me a back ache. I would still recommend it, it just wasn't the car for me.

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.

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!

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.

My first bmw ever. I drove 328i which is the same just the 320 has lower horse power and I drove a x5. The 320 is a great choice for a first timer buying a bmw it’s great on gas sport mode the car moves I bought it used with 28k and I’m at 35k I’m babying it because it’s a bmw and still expensive but for oil changes and brake pads for this bmw it’s cheap surprisingly. All around a few cons about the car no gps and stuff like that but if you want a car to last you a long time especially a bmw a 4 cylinder x drive will provide that I hope to have this car for years it’s fun to drive it’s reliable the secret to making a automatic transmission car last you is to use manual mode it saves you on gas as well and be up to date with oil changes and maintaining the car as you would with any other any bmw will last but with this 4 cylinder you have greater odds. Yeah plastic engine and all that bull crap as long as u don’t put to much strain on the engine this car will last over 100k depending on how u drive it and maintain it. Overall it’s a great car I wanna buy another car just so I don’t run the mileage up if you look at m series and any other bmw they all look the same just different body frame and the best part about it 320 is more reliable then any m series or 6 cylinder and up because the engine isn’t using a lot of power and parts as a 6 plus would.
