4-cylinders in-line TwinPower turbo with twin-scroll turbocharged valvetronic.
This car is so comfortable. You can get a little econobox or a roaring BMW. Safe, precise cornering. Reliable if you maintain it properly, and maintenance is a reasonable cost. Whatever type of car you want there is a BMW 3 series that will eclipse the opposition. I love my car so far. Do not have any problems.

In my opinion my vehicle provide me the best performance when I try to compare my car with another one it comes far better than others.

This is hands down my favorite vehicle thus far fuel economy is a big plus.
My BMW 328i is very responsive and has lots of power. Interior is well laid out I I can easily access all of the functions. Seats are very comfortable and roomy my husband is over 6 foot tall loves my car. Handle well in all types of weather I live in Pittsburgh that is really important. When I replace this car I will get the same make and model.

Classy car with great detail.
My car drives very smooth and I haven't had any problems with it. The seats are really comfortable and you can set the driver seat to your specifications. The gas mileage is very good too. The Bluetooth feature comes in handy for hands free driving and very nice.

The electronic features inside the car are amazing and so user friendly.
I have had the car for about 5 months now and have had no problems at all. It has been super reliable and extremely great. Drives smoothly and all the Bluetooth and electronics inside the car are super handy and I have had no issues. It is a little low to the ground so if you do not like that I wouldn’t purchase it. I would also get the tire warranty at the dealership if they offer one.
Jennifer G
The safety features and driving capabilities use cutting Edge technology.
The vehicle is one year old and the only issue I have encountered is a small one. When I have my phone connected to apple carplay, and than try to use the wade app for navigation, the audio will skip in an out regardless of the input (Sirius xm, radio, aux, etc. ). This is resolved from disconnecting my phone from apple carplay. I have read other reviews that this is an issue among other owners so I know this is not simply a user issue. Otherwise the car is amazing. It is powerful, beautiful and highly functional. The wagon body style is rare and are sought after as used vehicles.

Excellent BMW 330 Xin series.
Excellent luxury sport vehicle. Fun to drive, no problems but expensive to maintain that is why I leased. Beautiful interior and color and performs nicely. Gas mileage is excellent even for an all wheel drive vehicle. Dealerships are helpful when you need maintenance.

Check your care of your vehicle because of the year.
Right now my car does not have any issues. I get the smoke check when its suppose to be for. And I check it before it gives me problems. And also take it so they can turn the tires around every season as well too. I recommend to every new driver to always check it before other things happen to it.
Adrian V
Name: BMW. Model: series-3. Buy: 2017. Model number: 320i. It is very good car.
It is a very good car to drive my experiences do not say it out loud but there’s now an economy version of the BMW 3 series sedan. Well, a more economical to buy and drive version. It is the 320i and it comes with a slightly less powerful version of the 2.0 liter engine found in the 328i and a 36 mpg (highway) EPA rating..It is a very good car.
Vito B
BMW are crack a jack of the lack of de way, I just wanted to say hey.
This car sucks, it only was useful one time then it broke down on me because I didn't pay for it to be repaired when the seller said it was in perfect condition, I never thought I would get such hollow realization until I thought about getting it and trying my best to get it and when I have it, I will be the best character on there.
gail s
This is a safe car that is still fun to drive. It gets good gas mileage while still having the power to push you back in your seat.
I like that the vehicle is a lease and that I do not have to worry about any maintenance on it. It's comfortable and gets good gas mileage. It's small enough to fit in parking spots. I do not like paying the bill every month. I've found a few things in this particular car to be cheaper made than the previous one I had. That's discouraging to see the company cutting corners.
Kendall S
The BMW 320i needs more storage!
The storage room and in the vehicle is very minimal. There should be more room for everyday items. I will not be getting another 3 series for this reason. I also do not like the radio display. Also, the glove compartment could be bigger. It is an expensive car and should feel like one.
Itai I
It runs in a crowded class, but this 3 series is one of the best.
There's still no problems. It is also giving top-notch performance. Also, it got a good looks and build quality. Not to mention, it is also quite comfortable. This one also is a all rear-wheel drive, with the exception of the xdrive all-wheel-drive model. However, if you do look after them they should be perfectly reliable.

Stylish, full of features, durable.
Its stylish and durable, full with useful features. Fits all my family in. Great for family and also can be used for a little sport with all the BMW legacy. Tho overheating is a issue but not a huge one for me. I had to replace my tail lamp it was a negative point.

Is The 2017 BMW 3 Series A Good Value?
I pay over $800.00 a month for 2017 BMW 320i vehicle. It's a great value only because I get paid great.
Sarah S.
40000 and it is a lease. I think the value is decent because it is a hybrid and gets good gas mileage.
George A.
The BMW 328d is a good value for my family personal needs and some the travels our family encountered day in and day out.

Lauren C.
I think it's around 25,000 but we paid for it in full with cash. Definitely worth the money. It's everything someone would want.
