On this weeks episode of TheFadShow I give an update to what it has been like to live with my certified pre-owned BMW 328d wagon for the last two years.
Yeah, I thought I was the only one who liked the 328d wagon. I think I’m gonna get one as well. San Antonio has a few right now and there all certified pre owned. Anyway, I’m in Dallas as well. Really enjoyed your input.
lol, everybody wants that car...hardest to get - Americans always want it so people think they go skiing and imitate europeans.....8 out of 10 cars in Europe are wagons or hatchbacks...only taxi cabs are sedans...
@@levondarratt787 that's a pretty broad and inaccurate statement about Americans. I want one because I grew up in wagons, refuse to get an SUV or a van. Nothing to do with "imitating Europeans". There are quite a few wagon/estate enthusiasts over here. Unfortunately this country is ridden with SUVs so our community is a small percentage. Not enough to encourage automakers to bring their wagons over here. Shouldn't really lump "We Americans" in one specific, and incorrect group.
I bought a used 328d sedan a year and a half ago with 28k miles. Great commuter car for my 40 mile drive to New Braunfels. I still wish I would have waited for a wagon although I did not want X-drive which all wagons come with. Stock power was okay, but felt a little lacking. Deleted and tuned the car within three months of ownership which increased power to around 230hp/380lb-ft at the wheels. Very easy to delete compared to other diesel I have deleted. It is a beast for a four banger, and the growl it now has on hard acceleration is awesome. It keeps up with my friends 2014 328i. I average 43 mpg calculated which is 45 mpg according to the computer since it is usually 2 mpg higher than my hand calculations each tank.
Wish I had the car while it was out of warranty I got the feeling it would be a much better car with that potential unlocked. My favorite engine of all time is still the vw alh TDI. That engine could take anything and did it with so much soul. Sad to see diesels dying but I understand why they are.
What was the production date of your car? I bought a 2015 with 55K on it and I'm fearful of the EGR. I live in a relaxed emissions control area and would do the delete myself if I could figure out how to deal with the codes.
1 year later - wow! EGR recall, NOX sensors replaced, giubo plate updated, transfer case replaced - all under recall/extended warranty. I still love the car but I was sweating bullets when all these issues started happening. Fortunately, dealer in Denver honored all the problems and it runs SUPER now!
I’m looking to buy one with relatively high mileage 100-140k. How is the reliability and your thoughts on this? I just had an older Lexus with crazy amount of problems so definitely don’t want to buy another problem.
What kind of car/wagon/SUV are you replacing it with? With that kind of mpg I think it would be hard to find something to match its performance/efficiency/awd combination.
I absolutely LOVE my 328d!! I’ve had one issue, the driver side running light keeps going out. But reliability, I haven’t had a single issue. Maybe I’m lucky 🙂 The ONE feature I don’t have is the Kardon stereo. What parts would I need exactly for the delete?
It's getting difficult to find anyone who wants to discuss EGR deletes after the Diesel Brothers got fined $1,000,000 or so for doing them. I am really satisfied with the performance since I had all the recall work done.
i love my 328d...i have 120k not one single problem and best car i ever owned..this review is a typical youtuber..complains about everything , watch, his next car he'll complain too...

I live near that area. Any suggestions on where the buy a 328D?
"deleted" - speak English dude!!
@@levondarratt787 you dont know about diesels if you dont understand when someone says theirs is deleted
Great review
I agree re: Manual had to settle for the Automatic as well. I may have to import one from Europe myself some day.
So many better cars to import. Mercedes Diesel Hybrids
Currently trying to find one of these in an okay condition and it’s so dam hard
currently shopping for a cpo bmw or audi wagon. I'd be switching from a Lexus....these video scares me but damn these look so good.
Is this egr valve part of the recall or just the egr cooler. Bmw want to Charge me for an egr replacement.
They did the valve for via the recall and the cooler through my CPO warranty I believe. It is frustrating the recall doesn’t cover everything.

@@edgy1rocks would you do a egr or a dpf delete?
I’m looking to buy one with relatively high mileage 100-140k. How is the reliability and your thoughts on this? I just had an older Lexus with crazy amount of problems so definitely don’t want to buy another problem.
same question. did you ever get an answer felipe?
What % is your tint?
If I’m looking into a used 2018 328d with 45,000 miles what would be your thoughts?
I would be prepared for some mild reliability issues get a certified pre owned one if you can. Otherwise great cars.
If I ever get another car (I have a 2013 Ford Fusion lol), this would be my first idea.
What kind of car/wagon/SUV are you replacing it with? With that kind of mpg I think it would be hard to find something to match its performance/efficiency/awd combination.
I got a 2019 VW Golf Alltrack does everything but the efficiency but I suspect with price differential between diesel and regular will be close.
You should try the audi Q7 tdi next!
I have the 325xi manual wagon. But need something additionally. Would I be hopelessly bored with this? I’m trying to figure it out.
I was but maybe you won’t be. The ZF 8 speed is good for an automatic but I still personally just prefer a manual.
you still got it? I'm getting one this week from AZ. 1 owner. 43k miles. serviced at BMW like 2-3 times a year since they had it.
did you end up getting it? I am also from Az thinking about getting one myself!
@@YungGoat99 I did. Just arrived friday! It's great. Weird because I'm not used to diesels. But great.
I absolutely LOVE my 328d!! I’ve had one issue, the driver side running light keeps going out. But reliability, I haven’t had a single issue. Maybe I’m lucky 🙂 The ONE feature I don’t have is the Kardon stereo. What parts would I need exactly for the delete?
What year and model do you have?
Rudy 2014 328xd. With the list of mostly all packages available.
Are you selling your car?
Annoying music overview stops at 1:11
The real hero here
Thank you
ready to sell? I am looking for this exact car-- with seat heaters though :) Let's talk about it.
Why do you keep clicking that paddle?
Paddle shifting. Instead of automatic, the car has a ‘manual’ mode and you change gears with paddles on the steering wheel
Did you sell it already?
Yes
Wish this had the 3.0 6 cylinder....
Would be nice! A pretty awesome 335d swapped wagon just sold on BAT.
TheFadShow have you see the m550d x drive wagon that’s only getting sold outside the US? That thing is awesome
Why is there a 328d in the US with 180 hp...
When there is a 320d with 184 hp and 400 nm....
Emissions regulations
the 328d is just a rebadged 320d in the US I think-BMW just didn't think a 320d would sell well in the US I suppose
They’re no longer going bring anymore wagons to the us either :(. Found your channel through the E91. I have one in San Antonio and I love it.
Yeah it is very sad for us wagon enthusiasts. I just bought myself a 2019 Golf Alltrack SEL 6MT. Likely the last ever manual wagon to be sold here.
this is or a e91 or an jetta alltrack/ sportwagen
E91 is the best drivers car. Alltrack is best all around car.
Have you deleted the EGR yet?
It's getting difficult to find anyone who wants to discuss EGR deletes after the Diesel Brothers got fined $1,000,000 or so for doing them. I am really satisfied with the performance since I had all the recall work done.
Voice is so monotone... couldn’t watch the whole video
I have been wanting to get one of these. I'm 6'2 and afraid I won't be comfortable in it.
The F30/F31 is a surprisingly big platform I would try it out and see what you think. I would bet you’d be fine.
OWNAGE 956 I’m 6’1 and I fit very comfortably in the E91 version, witch is very slightly smaller. You’re only 6’2, you’re not Shak 😂
I’m 6’3 and fit great in my 328d wagon. I actually sit lower than when I’m in my lowered Mini Cooper S.
plenty of space...as big as a 5 series from previous years...
How do you talk without moving your lips?
exactly!
He’s pretty hard to take. The drone of his voice and incessant talking.
i love my 328d...i have 120k not one single problem and best car i ever owned..this review
is a typical youtuber..complains about everything , watch, his next car he'll complain too...
woof, you are difficult to listen to... breathe between sentences man!
