Love my 328i. On the 5th year of ownership and there have been some costly problems but the way it corners and drives makes you fall back in love.

@@saman1820 Parts in general are expensive so replacing the battery and alternator and getting it programmed (necessary step after battery replacement) cost over $1500 ($500 battery, $800 OEM alternator, rest for labour). A new thermostat cost me over $800 from BMW dealership. Getting a software update for the car because it was draining battery cost over $500 from the dealership. New breaks and rotors cost $650. Oil changes cost $120 unless you wanna do em yourself. Just little things. Not going to the BMW dealership will save you a lot of money as well. I learned the hard, costly way. BMW will always have some issues, so leave aside anywhere from $500-$3000 for unexpected repairs! These cars are aging and repairs are costly.

@@braedon7577 Please refer to my above comment. The car is at exactly 90,000 KM (kilometres), i’ve done the above replacements^. Its a 328i, a big issue with the 320i and 328i in particular is the timing chain, which tends to deteriorate over time and should be replaced around the 100k-120k mile mark. I’m not entirely sure what to look out for with the 335i and 340i, but if you’re buying i’d suggest you look for something under 80,000 miles.

I’ve had my f30 328i for 15 months. Never had a CEL or drivetrain error. No tuning mods because I don’t want issues. Completely stock. Absolute lovely car and I got really lucky with the one I have it’s pristine at 59k miles.

I have a 2014 328i F30, got it for 22k 13,900 miles, no accidents, 1 owner. Seriously a great car overall people underestimate its power and handling. I have 40k on it now after 2 year ownership no issues yet except for small stuff

130k on my 2014 F30 (SULEV version). No issues yet 🤞 Still runs and drives so well. I don’t know what it is about BMW and their transmissions (think it’s a ZF, but still), but the shift points in this car are just spot on (yes… it’s an automatic, lots of driving in traffic). Anyway, just thought I’d chime in just in case anyone is looking at purchasing one.

This car just needs maintenance. Oil leaks, sensors kaput, plastic and rubber parts disintegrate, wind noise above 110kmh. The maintenance is a little higher than japanese, interior trim parts can be extremely pricey. However there are plenty of parts in the used parts marketplace. This car is not for car owners who drive and don't bother with maintenance. BMW is a car for car enthusiasts. Gotta love it more than you hate it because anything that can break will break with this car.

Rob, thx for the vid. Good recap. I have the same car in red that my wife drives. 120k and nothing but regular service except for motor mounts. Still going strong, but wifey can get over 30K out of the performance tires, so not pushing it 😂

Hey bro cool video. Regarding the thing you said that it feels faster than 250hp, is because that is true. You probably know that BMW actually write their power numbers lower than they actually are. Multiple dyno tests of the F30 328i have been done and all of them have shown them revolving around 270-280hp actually instead of the 245 on paper. So essentially with that in mind, a stage 2 and more tunes can get this engine up to 350hp

Checkout my latest video, I'm digging into the engine and going for Forged internals next.

Reliability really changes around September Built 2014 forward. Currently at 220,000 miles and the worst issue I've had on it was a radiator that sprang a leak. The fix is simple, took maybe 2 hours to do myself and I picked it up for about $200 USD. That being said, I am also the only owner. Picked it up at 230 miles (it was a dealer car).

Honestly, the F30 is less comfortable, but smaller so you can fit in the city easier and with less worry, F30 is also sharper in tight corners, but F10 is much more stable at high speed. In terms of diesel vs petrol, Petrol Sounds better, 328i is faster than 520d, but also less reliable at the same time.

f30 is WAY better for turns, like its night and day.. F10 just feels so bad to drive honestly, but its way more silent and comfortable than F30.. F10 for autobahn / highway and F30 for city or backroads, also F10 is marginably slower, lets say f30 gets 0-60 in 5sec f10 gonna need 6
