Perfect inside the beltway vehicle

Being inside the beltway I commute 10 miles and use electric mode all the way. With a charge station at my office parking garage I charge for free there and head home in all electric again! LOVE IT!!

I bought my 320i Xdrive used w/ 34K miles. Has the SensaTec leatherette upholstery, which I was skeptical about at first, but find very nice. Comfortable and durable. It drives like a dream. Could use more interior storage space. Center console space is tiny. But it keeps me from loading it with junk that I can’t find in the bottom like most cars I’ve owned. Someone mentioned no power locks. I think they’re confused about the door lock button. It’s on the dash next to the emergency flasher button. Mine has the complete backup Cam and display. I assumed that was standard. As for the USB charging port. Yes it’s in the glove box, but the lid has pads underneath that prevent it from closing on and pinching the cord to your device. No big deal. Mine does not have split 60/40 fold down rear seats. I wish it did. Trunk is pretty small too. Overall, I love the car. Plan to care for it well and drive it for many years.

Update: I sold this car in June 2024 and replaced it with the same year/make/model but lower mileage and the MSport package. Yes, I love this car now I have one with all of the features and red leather. A few years back I owned a 2010 Jetta tdi wagon and I loved the torque and amazing mileage. Alas, we found out that VW was cheating on emissions and I had to sell the car back to VW. The last four years I was driving around in a 2016 Acura RDX. It was nice but uninspired. My dream car was the 328d wagon. But this car is a unicorn. They rarely come up for sale and a few years ago the price was too high. Luckily for me I spotted a certified used 328d wagon at my local dealer. Price was great. Mileage was reasonable and I am back in turbo diesel land. How is the car? Its a beemer and handles as you would expect. Sport mode is tight and responsive and even though I am driving a 180hp diesel wagon, it is fun. In sport mode the acceleration is quick and the cornering is great with the AWD. The standard comfort mode is perfect for most around town and highway driving. Not using ecomode much at all. Car is comfortable. With the doors and windows closed, the diesel noise is not noticeable. Once you open the door you won't forget its a diesel. The clank clank of the diesel engine is louder than I recall on the VW. Interior is nice. But as with any BMW, the problem is that if the car lacked various packages you miss out on some key features. The original owner of this specked it without much so I am missing touch to unlock and blind spot monitoring among other nice to have features. Overall I am happy with the car. Update April 2022 - Car now has over 60k miles. Still fun. Averaging 39.6 mpg which is great in times of high gas prices. I had a fuel injector failure last year that was replaced under warranty. Update March 2024. Nothing to report except that I’m at 88k miles and the car is running as well as ever.

I had a 2003 Lexus IS300 Sportcross for 13 trouble-free years and despirately wanted to stay with a Toyota product. Unfortunately Toyota has seen fit to make C pillars so big you can easily hide an Escallade in the blind spot and that's just not okay. Reluctantly I jumped ship and leased a 2015 328i Wagon. True to the reviews it was very luxurious and handled well but it was a luxury car... not so much a Sport Wagon. Thanks to an idiot who couldn't see 4,000 pounds 10 feet away and decided to make her left turn anyway I recently found myself back in the market. With no viable options to even consider I leased a 2017 330i Sport Wagon. The specs say it's the same size as the 2015 but it drives like a small car instead of a mid-size and feels like a compact sports sedan. Steering is much heavier, turbo-lag is non-existent and it just feels right. Oh yea... and there's a ton of cargo room in the back. Now if BMW would only grow a brain and bring the G21 to the US I'd be a happy camper.

Simplistic Luxury

This is my first BMW, bought used. The leather tan and black interior gives it quality. The only negative I have in this series 320i is no back up cam. I think all Luxury cars should have it with no question. Especially for newer Bmw’s no matter the model. I plan to upgrade eventually. The car feels strong and powerful, the sport drive is smooth and fast. As a woman starting out the first time with BMW overall it is an epic car! Buy one with backup cam for sure.
