Used 2019 BMW 3 Series Consumer Reviews
Disapointment, thy name is BMW
Review updated, 11/2019: With 13k miles on this car, the warts overwhelm the more positive aspects. Honestly, I'll never buy another BMW. Turbo lag is horrendous (I measured it at 2.3 sec hesitation before responding to a full throttle from stop.) The Nav unit keeps going out; the display just goes all white and is unreadable. It also has a significant lag in displaying the current position of the car, which has caused me to miss turnoffs from highways several times. The dealer couldn't fix either problem. Operation of the stereo is brain-dead. For example, you can't pick an artist, play one of their albums, and then pick another of their albums. You have to go back and do a full search each time you want to change what you're listening to! And the seats...look great but after a few hours in the saddle my back hurts. This became a serious issue when I drove the Lake Superior Circle Tour. By the third day, I dreaded getting back in the car. My prior BMW had great seats. I don't know what they did wrong, but these feel like they were designed by the Spanish Inquisition. After driving an E90 for over 100k miles, I was excited to get behind the wheel of a new 330i. After the new car glow wore off, I realized that the car was a significant step down from the older model. There are two problems with the car: 1.) Turbo lag at low speeds is pronounced. I just timed the car, and from a standing start in Sport mode, it takes 2 seconds to respond to full throttle (that is, before it moves an inch). This makes it just a bit dicey when pulling out onto a busy highway. 2.) It's handling is ponderous, kind of like steering a loaded pickup truck around a slalom course. This isn't a matter of steering feel; it's a question of the car just being too big and heavy to feel nimble. A sport sedan is supposed to be light on its feet, like a dancer; this one just keeps stepping on toes. Otherwise, the car is fine once it's up to speed and handles well on the highway. It's given me no problems, and runs reliably.

Excellent performance and fuel economy
The 2019 BMW 3 Series has a powerful yet efficient twin-turbo engine that allows it to perform well while still achieving over 40 MPG on the freeway in ECO PRO mode. iDrive, the infotainment system, works reliably and is feature rich without being overly complicated. The build quality is excellent and high quality, premium materials like wood and aluminum are used throughout the vehicle.

One of my happiest car purchases.
After owning a 3 series convertible and a 4 series convertible over a 12 year period it was time for a change and a lower monthly payment. I purchased my 2019 330i from a local dealer who had it as part of their loaner fleet with approximately 3500 miles on it. I have a few friends who did the same over the years and all were happy with their purchases. I still wanted a car that was sporty but also wanted a more comfortable ride than my prior convertibles. The 330i is the perfect blend of just enough sportiness without the bone jarring ride of my previous cars. My loaner special came fairly loaded, with standard 18 inch wheels, without any upgraded sport suspension but with the non-run flat tire option. Extremely happy to have the non-run flat tires as run flats can at times be very hard. I've now had the car for 18 months and still turn around in the parking lot after I park it. Very satisfied BMW customer.

Love this car!
Great grunt, speed and 40 + MPG. This car does it all. BMW quality, handles tight and zips. AWD is seamless and grippy. Love that fuel economy.
Best car I’ve ever owned!
The mote package add-one you can afford to buy, the more exciting this vehicle! Get the 19” tires for an extra $600
