Great car. Long-term keeper.

I always love BMWs. This is my favorite and most reliable. It's a 2012 with 90k miles and is experiencing only "older car" issues. Love the ease of the top and the size is perfect for me. Warning: be careful of servicing at dealerships. My top was stuck up. Dealership told me $3500 to fix. My regular mechanic told me it was only a little plastic piece and replaced for $0. Dealership: Fermin BMW in Palm Harbor, FL. Avoid them.

Blast of an every day car

Bought my 328 used at 52k and currently sitting at 95 and the car has not had one hiccup. It is a blast to drive on backroads but can easily handle long road trips. Great fuel economy despite having a lead foot. Absolutely love my 328

Fun car. Great convertible top. Reliable.

Great value. Quality throughout. Versatile, love the pass through and fold-down rear seat. Easy to use info system. Great handling, smooth engine, economical and runs on 89 octane gas.

Smoothest Ride I have ever expierenced

This car was my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. I have a family now and need something that has more kid-friendly. I love the fact that it has sports mode for fast driving, eco mode for gas-friendly drivers and comfort mode for the smoothest ride.

Nice Ride

Owned a 2005 BMW 325ci convertible. Loved it and recently purchased a 2013 328i 6cyl 230 hp. HT convertible. The 13 feels heavy but the increased hp makes it quick. Love the ride which is softer but still controlled. Not much room in the rear seats and very little room in the trunk. Changed run flats for standard tires. Quieter, better handling and a much better ride. I am a fan of this car. Buy one. (:

This is my 2nd BMW, and its better value than 530i

I've experienced 18years of driving 2 BMW, my 1st car was 2006 brand new 530i, it was great, there's no problems after 189,000miles, and i sold it to my sister. And the 2nd one 328i used that i brought i find it has better performance than the 530i due to the enginee & the body of the car it's a lot easier to drive & faster than the my previous 530i.

Beautiful convertible in and out-avoid potholes

Space Grey with M-Sport aerodynamic kit and v-spoke rims on the outside caught my attention in the dealership right away. Gorgeous Coral Red Dakota leather, aluminum hexagon trim and 18 inch low profile run flat summer tires added to the package. As far as performance, tires and suspension grip so well with the M-Sport options that I never felt as confident taking corners as I have before. Really communicative road feel and cornering that allows you to accelerate through the turn is exhilarating. As far as comfort, New Jersey roads make it a little rough on your nerves as I have learned with 3 tires replaced due to sidewall blowout. As a daily commuter, the power of the Q1 release of this 2012 328i (Q1 was still a 2011) V6 SULEV engine combined with beautiful styling, that only BMW has to offer, makes you forget that potholes are not your friend. With the top down and the Harmon Kardon surround sound system turned up to ear splitting but pure sound levels, the workday just melts away. Great first BMW and I doubt this will be my last unless I retire in NJ.

Great car but have had multiple problems

Turbo line messed up thank god it was under warranty. AC makes a loud noise when on high and it once stopped working while on a hot 3 hour drive. Other then then that. Good looking car and it drives well.
