The last of its kind...

Too bad that the BMW diesel 328d was phased out. Great handling along with great fuel economy. The car is extremely well balanced between the front and back and the 18 inch wheels complete the terrific handling. Amazing range at 600 miles highway.

Hybrid system provides adequate power

The short range EV will benefit those the most with total commutes of less than 12-14 miles in real world driving between charges. I’m averaging 41 mpg combined since I purchased the vehicle about 5000 miles ago. One tank averaged 50 mpg since I was doing so much short distance driving. Electronic steering is definitely a downgrade from my 2011 335d. I don’t feel as connected to the road and the steering isn’t as tight as the 335d. The ride is familiar and I am happy with the styling as well. I’ve heard good things about reliability so looking forward to worry free driving until I possibly go full EV either the i4 or another manufacturer. A lot is coming down the pipeline.

Amazed

I have owned SUV's since before they were called that, my first Toyota 4 runner in 1987. Have owned 4 X5's lately. Bought a new 328d wagon and am stunned how a fairly heavy wagon can absolutely fly and get the mileage it does. I'm getting 5.2 liters/100 km or 42 mpg (US). Loaded with great features handling is superb and 5 star safety rating. Great rig.

Had always wanted a Bimmer.

Had been a loyal Lexus driver (5 sedans, one SUV). Downsides to an IS in 2016 and was very unhappy all around. The car did not handle well, poor mileage, Bluetooth with phone was terrible, pickup poor. I had always wanted a BMW sedan so went on line and studied for several days. Most of my drives local, side streets, short trips. Little freeway driving and distance driving rarely. Test drove the 320i and was very pleased. The handling, size, comfort were perfect for my needs. People complained that it wasn’t sporty enough, maybe if I did a lot of distance driving I’d agree, but for short city trips it’s fine. Size great for parking at Costco! Overall very happy with my little Bimmer.

Have a 2018 330 i series, X drive. My wife drives it for the most part, me on the weekends. It is quick, I will give it that, it flies and you have to really watch the speedo. For me the absolute worst thing about this car is the horrendous run flats. Awful tires, lots of nibble and wandering all over the place, so for a car that is supposed to be the ultimate driving machine? Not so much. I would have changed the run flats for regular premium tires but, open the trunk and there is no place to put a spare or donut, nothing there without taking up room in an already tight trunk. So the run flats stay and the BMW 330 Xi remains an enigma because of these ridiculous tires
