BMW 3 Series (2013 - 2018) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Diesel review only, I’ve never tested the gasoline models. The BMW 328D diesel xdrive is the most fuel efficient internal combustion engine powered all wheel drive vehicle. Go ahead and try to find another more efficient, you won’t be able to. For Highway it will get you into the 52 MPG range stock, and with a some modification into the 56 range, City is still high 40’s. It has all the creature comfort’s you could want, and is a quite, comfortable ride! Blasts through snow and ice especially with winter tires, this is a great car for all regions. Car is plenty spacious for four and has a large trunk (boot ) storage. Find yourself one! Aug 22, 2022

Excellent steering, handling, transmission, and high tech features and classy interior and sporty exterior with tree powerful and quick motors available in the 328/335/M3. The 320 is still got the nice designs and such but they’re terribly underpowered. For the 328 to only have 50 more horsepower, it feels like it’s got 100 more. And the fuel economy is the same on the 328 and the 320. idrive is great now, and they’re surprisingly roomy inside, front and back, snd the trunk is shockingly large as well. Just be sure you have a warranty cause we all know bmws are expensive to repair, especially their complicated turbo engines. And there’s a huge difference between sport, comfort, snd eco pro. Everything about the car changes-steering, throttle, transmission, so you can be in a quick car that can do 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds in the 328 and still get average 32 mpg combined in eco pro mode. Also the seats are comfy and the shifts are lightning quick in sport and they hold the exact right gear and don’t shift when you don’t want them to either, it’s 8spd is perfectly tuned and the computer always gets it right, like it knows exactly what gear u wanna be in. No need to even use the paddles. And the stereo system is great as well. And I love the way the led daytime lights look when you get the optional headlights. All around great car for fun sporty driving or road trips where you’ll get amazing mileage -esp in eco pro. It even shows u how many extra miles you’re getting vs comfort or sport when in eco pro. Pretty cool. And of course the obligatory keyless ignition and auto start/stop which can be shut off if it’s super hot and you’re in bad traffic and want that cool air to continue lol but in sport start/stop system is automatically disabled. It even sounds good for a turbo I4Apr 28, 2021

This 2015 328i is our first BMW. After owning and driving fora month we are presently surprised with just how good this car is. It is solidly built, with quality materials and workmanship. The electronics are amazing. We carefully read the manual (a must) and watched YouTube videos to fully grasp all of the options this car has. The integrated i-drive system controls most of the electronics and is easy to use by almost anyone. The cars performance and handling come with high expectations and will not disappoint. I have owned and driven other European cars such as Mercedes, Porsche, and Jaguar and understand the commitment to maintenance and care these cars require. Just follow the simple rules of maintaining it by the book and if something breaks fix it. I recommend a quality aftermarket extended warranty after the factory warranty expires, and to find a good independent mechanic who specializes in BMW. This car will not disappoint. Everyone should experience a BMW at least once in their lives. Mar 06, 2021

I bought this car to have something more family friendly than my Porsche Boxster S. The Boxster absolutely has better handling and is more fun to drive, but the 335i is FAR more practical and still preserves a bit of fun. Plus, the refinement and technological tools (HUD, music hard disk, etc.) is a clear step up from the "oversized go-cart" feeling of the Porsche. While it's under warranty, maintenance costs are obviously manageable. However post-warranty, I recommend getting to know a good private mechanic with a lower rate than the dealership.Jul 22, 2014
