I own this vehicle. It’s an amazing car but be willing to put some work into it! It’s really not that expensive for maintenance. So don’t be afraid to buy one.
No I think you can find a better one you jus have to look. Honesty, mileage’s don’t really matter it just means it has been driven a lot more thus, more auto work has been done on the vehicle which could be a good thing but a bad thing if you don’t know the service history. If the car is good condition and has a good owner than yeah.
A day away from purchasing this car and couldn’t have found a more balanced assessment of its pros and cons. Thanks for this meat-and-potatoes, straight-forward review without the needless bells and whistles that serves no purpose other that to camouflage lack of substance . EXCELLENT JOB!
Found a red one with 160000. Had some work done, a lot of standard stuff like tires, control arms, hoses, etc. Altogether almost 3g but it was worth it. Engine and tranny are tight. Don’t buy expecting a perfect car and plan in some repairs. If it tests ok and doesn’t leak buy it. 3000 is a very good buy, imo. Good luck
The Hard Top convertible price from a private seller is from 6800 to 9800 Based on very good condition and, 86000 miles. I really do not understand the vast difference in prices, unless a lot of people are paying a premium. The car has a cheap plastic merged with leather in the interior. A lack luster amount of horse power for a premium priced sedan. The review was nonsense as far as it making 140 mph and, a 200 hp ford full size pickup will eventually get to 90 mph. The convertible is very nice and I would think of it as a ladies car rather than a sporty sedan. Considering the problematic nature of the car and the expensive repair cost to own, there are better choices out there for eight to ten thousand. Who wants to be stuck waiting on a tow more than two times a year? You do have a badge though and, with this car that's what your paying for. I'm sure you could get a car with a cheap interior much lower miles and more hp with a better service record. A 4.7 Dodge Dakota quad cab would be a better choice. They actually have Mercedes design in the engine and, about 230 hp with more rear leg room and a nice rear bed to haul anything large. Just put a Mercedes emblem on the hood and your off and running. I was excited looking at the BMW recently until I checked into what the negative aspects were.
you echoed everything I noticed, I'm a new owner and am Loving it. The dealership will never see my face in their Capachino waiting room. I fix my own or have "A guy"... thanks for the review it reinforced what I am experiencing driving this masterpiece. Onward!
I own an E92 and I can attest to how the car just springs forward at 5,000 rpm. I really love my BMW because there is no driving experience like driving one of these cars. I greatest pleasure during this pandemic has been driving my car very fast in the wee hours of the morning when roads are almost empty.
@@FD-rh6tr The car is an E92 one year newer than car in video but there is little difference. My car has the sport suspension with upgraded shocks. I am as thrilled by the car today as when I learned how to drive it. It has been totally reliable and my 141 mph claim is not a joke.
@@johntizzytm7592 no, no problems at all just your basic maintenance I had to replace spark plugs ,engine coils, oil change, and a few gaskets. But other then that I’m at 97,000 miles with the car right now and it hasn’t given me any headaches at all.
@@daboyy9295 I need Advice. I found a 2007 Bmw 328 with 42k Miles for 9k. Runs good from I saw on the test drive. Only thing that needs work is some Leather repairs which the guy told me they're doing. It's good. I'm just hesitant bc it feels too good to be true
@@robtheservantof6257 trust your gut feeling, any leaks? Does the car kik on its fans after a few miles? If not defiantly cop. Bought a salvaged one from my uncle for 3,500. Looks ugly sure but runs and drive beautifully. Cop it! I love mine so far and it hasn’t been 2 weeks yet
These are a great value once you find a well maintained one. My biggest concern would be the plastic electric water pump and plastic cooling pipes. Thankfully there are kits available and even if I bought one that wasn't leaking I'd change everything over as a preventative measure.
It just keeps getting better. A plastic electric water pump? How can you fix that with a better system? Getting the whole thing redone would cost half as much as the car.
I had one for 5 months, it was really weird, the ignitions coils were giving problems all the time, and also the clutch. I traded it for a Charger 2012
I've had one for over 4 years. A couple weeks ago I had a cylinder misfiring. Replaced the (original) spark plugs and ignition coils and cleaned the MAF sensor. Cost me $200 and it runs beautifully again. 2011 328xi with 81,000 miles.
Love the interior design of this generation! Especially the wood panels! Just wish there wasn't a Takata recall on this generation up untill around '14 models. Would probably buy one otherwise! :)
I think this is the best review you've done so far. Glad to see more of you in the frame. Keep up the great work. Also, love that you don't filter out you're sense of humor. "Basic bitch suspension," haha!
Nice review and cool car too. I own a car kind of in the same class. I have a 2009 Lexus IS 250. I really like the 3 series, I especially love the coupe version of this car. I came very close to getting an 08 3 series coupe but got the Lexus instead. Anyhow, lovely car. I always loved the interiors of BMW.
I recently bought this same car and love it. at first it scared me, lol. thanks for the video. Frequently when I punch it on freeway on-ramps, I find something else zipping by me ... they took notice. lol.
If you do your own work and maintenance this car isn't any more expensive than any other car. Also, get the LCI version. 2009-2011. Great car. Also those driver nannies turn off with the push of a button. I have an '11 328i 6spd manual. Space grey. With the big I drive screen. I love it so much.
I’ve just got to put it out there; a lot of the premium and luxury makers used a soft coating on their plastics, and no matter what happens, those coatings always break down over time. From Volvos to BMWs, it doesn’t matter. If all of the surfaces were nicely padded, then I couldn’t care less that small buttons and bezels were hard plastics - they’d actually last that way. Italian cars were probably the worst for this, since their soft coatings would actually melt down and leave a sticky/tacky residue on the surface of the plastics! And that was from Fiat, to Maserati, all the way up to Ferrari! But this Bimmer looks good for now. Most of the German cars just had peeling and flaking problems, not melting, but those plastics’ surfaces are slowly starting to rub off, and once that sets in throughout the car, it’ll look horrendous!
My friend is selling his 2008 328i It has 188000 miles he wants 4000 for the car. His mechanic has changed the main parts that break and it drives so smooth. Any advice should i get the car?
I’m looking into the 328i coupe which year is best they all seem the same but without the nav & m sport trying to remain reliable . Also I hear the base sound system isn’t the best is that true ?
It's a tank & it's nice not having to worry about air ride. Meticulously maintained one owner car that unfortunately sat outside in the FL sun for a while so the clear coat is toasted. Will send it out soon to be resprayed. Will likely make a before and after video of it.
Are the 328xi and 328i the same? I’m trying to put some mods on my 328xi but I always see that it’s for 328i. This model looks exactly like my shit so I’m going to say yeah lol.

Yousef if you can get it for 4K I’d go for it
Hey do you mind if I ask you some questions on this car? Considering getting it as my first car. Thanks!
I'm thinking of buying 1 for 3000$ and it has 127,000 miles good deal or should i back out?
Bought the 328i E90 with under 50K miles being a lifelong passion, it's been an intoxicating experience so far with the car.

@@godfatherofcinema right on man, yeah it is a very nice garage kept one by an old man living in the burbs so I think im gonna go ahead and get it.
Let me know how it goes. My rule of thumb: save 5000 to buy a 3000 car; 3000 to buy a 1500 car, etc...
Camera quality & cinematography is so good I thought it was an animation

Just bought this vehicle from BMW dealership with 90,000 miles. I love it!! I’ve never seen a used car so well kept.
Amanda Plunkett did you buy it straight up or did u make payments
Amanda Plunkett
Never purchase a bmw with more than 75K.... or you will be buying high and expensive repairs...
bmw is the best but not after 75k
Amanda Plunkett I’ll keep my ford.
Tikko Tikka you wont find a bmw under 75k not used unless they reset the car milleage and alot of dealership do that

@@Icantkeepout Thanks for the reply! the sport package is pretty tough to find, but i will be on the lookout for them.
Seeing these cars with 200k+ miles on it like it wont die
been considering a 328i.. thanks for the review.!
I have the same vehicle. Got with 11,000 miles back in 2008. So far I have 238,000 miles.
Holy shit 😂
238,000 miles that’s impressive is it still running pretty good??
Amazing. Can you tell how it has been going all these miles? Would you recommend it ?
I had one with 284k miles on it. Still felt strong.
The commentary made me subscribe! Great review as well. Everything you said is 100% true from my experience.
The newer bmws have more angled interior toward the drivers than this generation of cars
I own a 2008 328i. It is a fucking masterpiece.

The N52 is better than the vast majority of Mercedes engines.
Nice review bro
love your videos
Very helpful thank you!

It has 188000 miles he wants 4000 for the car.
His mechanic has changed the main parts that break and it drives so smooth. Any advice should i get the car?
Yeah
You should review a 2008-2013 c300.
How is middle seat in the back of the car? I have a child and don’t know if he will find it comfortable
I’m looking into the 328i coupe which year is best they all seem the same but without the nav & m sport trying to remain reliable . Also I hear the base sound system isn’t the best is that true ?
Yeah my friend better find one with Harman Kardon sound system .
Why not buy a manual? I drove 600 miles to get a manual lol so worth it!
Great video thank you

Lol I'm 16 with only a permit and just went 85mph on bmw like this one.
I’m getting one for 3800 with 160,000 miles is it worth it?
Very worth it! I bought my 2009 for 4999 with 120k last year

Most 2009 have the N51 but it is basically the same except for different emission parts.
Mine has the N51 SULEV
Does this bmw have a purple windshield ?
What is the exclamation in the triangle on the dashboard
Is it going to cost a lot on maintenance for this 2007 when I buy it now I’m 2019
Not too much if the previous owners maintained it properly
@@IdanKashani very true
@@IdanKashani how reliable is the motor?
