Surfing sucks! Don't try it!

There's a bumper sticker that says "Surfing sucks! Don't try it!" It's not meant for the literal translation. Let me just say: This car sucks! You'll hate the comfort, drive, and flexibility it offers. I started with a 2011 sedan and when it was time to change cars (due to life, not anything with the car) I grabbed what I really wanted - the estate / touring / wagon. I love being able to take 4 passengers in relative comfort, while also being able to help someone move (not large furniture, but LOTS of boxes). Over the years I've started doing more an more of the maintenance at home, but still leave the larger jobs to the shop, (the ones I either don't want to do, or don't have the tools/time for). In my view this is a keeper. Between the fun of driving, versatility and sporty/stylish looks, and the power and longevity of the inline 6 / powertrain this car is only lacking 1 thing in my view... Apple CarPlay - which wasn't available in 2010/2011 and happens to be on my list of next ups.

Has been reliable. Classic BMW style still looks recent after 10 years.

The BMW 328xi sedan has proven to be a reliable car for the past 10 years. Its classic styling makes it look newer than it is because it's hard to tell it apart from newer models. Xi means good handling on snow and ice. My only complaint is that Xi also makes it slow on acceleration. Acceleration feels sluggish, not what you expect from a BMW. But overall, the car has been good to me and is still going strong.

Finding the Happy Path with the e93.

What ties me to the car are its beautiful lines, its growling sounds and the way it drives. Top down breeze is nice too. From a service perspective, I have had to replace items on this 2011 car bought used (water pump, belt tensioner, clutch, oil filter gaskets, wheels, tires, suspension, starter). Other than that, it has given me some decent time intervals between to enjoy.

Great car super fast when needed!

I love the 6 cyl twin turbo combination of my 2011 I335 BMW. When you need to speed up and get into the highway it does not ask how but just does it's thing! Love the headlight. They are so cool that other automakers are following suit. With BMW you don't need to wait for new developments. BMW creates them, and others just follow!

BMW 335I CONVERTIBLE

Money well spent and BMW financing interest was exceptional compared to other companies at the time of purchase. Plan to buy the next model in the same series. Will be holding on this car for a lifetime as I purchased it with low mileage and one owner although it’s my second car.

My BMW

This is the best vehicle I owned so far. Had Mercedes Benz and Corvettes to name a couple. My BMW is the tightest, most responsive, stable, and quality built vehicle I had so far. I am looking forward to a new one soon.

Best car

This is my second 328i of this model year, this one being stick shift and two door, my last one Auto and four door. Both cars are excellent. In my opinion you can’t buy a higher quality used car for the money. These model years are very reliable and actually not hard to work on. I’ve replaced my own brakes, shocks, oil, fluids, stereo system and will be replacing any gaskets as they go out over time, I’m at 83k on this one and it is super reliable. The handling of these cars is extremely balanced and I can carry big speed through corners and keep up with much faster cars. The motor is not super powerful but it has power and is swift indeed and will take you past 140 mph easily. The next model year starting in 2012 uses a 4 cylinder turbo instead of the smooth and torquey in-line 6 and I would not recommend it and I doubt it’s reliable. This model year is the ultimate blend of performance and reliability and build quality and value.

2011 BMW 328I - a driving machine.

I have had this BMW sedan for 9 years now, and I really like this car a lot. It has been very good to me. I think that if I could afford getting a new one, I probably would. Although the power is very good and quite adequate, I would also consider a 5-series BMW as an upgrade. The seating comfort is not quite as nice as I would like it to be, but you get what you pay for. I would like to have better lumbar support, and a cushier bottom. The car handles very well, and I trust it implicitly in demanding situations that require precise handling in tight, or when required in sudden, sometimes unexpected maneuvering situations. I do quite a bit of freeway driving, and the drive is always smooth, and the mileage is very good.

Diesel Trouble!!!

BMW has not been up to par with its 335D diesel cars.... Many, many check engine issues.... One of the issues is that the exhaust seems to not work up to the necessary levels, and the engine get stuffed with diesel deposits... A real pain to get this series 3 diesel BMW going.... Plus check engine light on = No passing the emission tests.... I also have a 2010 X5 BMW diesel; with no problems of check engine.... So you figure...!!!

Attentive,friendly,and fast service

When my 2011 BMW broke down, I called CNM Auto and they gave me the service needed to put my car back on the road. They were informative on identifying the issue, solving the problem with quick cost effective solutions and family oriented service. Awesome!

BMW overal experience.

This is a car that is fantastic for the driving experience it provides. Excellent handling and drive quality. Performance with regard to acceleration is all I could ask for. My only gripe is that at 85000 miles it developed some significant oil leaks and a coil failure at approximately 70000 miles.

All I can say is, "Ultimate driving machine" for a reason! Love the power, handling, stereo, comfort and style of the body. Love the gloss of the paint and how it looks with just a few simple mods. Sporty look

Love this car

German technology means something!!! One of my BMW's has 195K miles. Although it's a standard, the car is reliable and has never failed me. Since it is getting older, it is becoming a bit more temperamental, but so are we.

Nice Vehicle!

Nice sporty car to have you can find a used one for an affordable price and if you keep up on all the preventative maintenance it’s a dependable car to have as well. Also when the car tells you there’s something wrong with it go get it check out/fixed

Good looking fun car!

I’ve had my car now for about 5 years and all I can think about is how this car makes me feel every time I get behind the wheel, and when I leave it parked and have to take one more glance at it before walking away. Not the fastest car. Not the most luxurious. Not the most reliable, but all in all, a good well rounded vehicle that if you invest good maintenance on, will not leave you stranded on the side of the road. Do not neglect it, and you will be fine. It’s your baby.

Mixed

The bmw 3 is a good driving machine. Some of the design in terms of comfort are suspect such as cup holders and the display is in some cases obscured by the steering wheel. The biggest issue is repairs. They are extremely expensive. For instance a battery replacement will cost you 450 bucks which is outrageous and they structure it so it is difficult to get in done anywhere but at a dealer. When I complained to the dealer I was told “ well it is expensive to own a BMW”. I said I looked forward to seeing that in the next bmw ad. So overall gives a great ride but be prepared for excessive costs to repair issues
