As the new entry point into the 3-series line-up, the new for 2013 BMW 320i promises buyers the BMW badge at a lower price. With 60 horses less than the 328i, you'll no longer be winning those stop light drag races but it still represents the ultimate driving machine right?

I don't understand how this guy doesn't have more subscribers. His reviews are the most thorough and critical ones I've seen on TH-cam and I've been watching him for years.
I don't really see the correlation but ok.
shuvo ahmed are you being rude or is he actually gay?
Nivaldo Sartori yeah it's the same thing I'm saying
because he has no emotion

I miss 2012-2014 redline reviews. Your guys content was the best! It was more raw and true. Love your guys channel
I love your review because you aren't biased. You talk about the positives and the negatives. Great review!
I love you reviews Sofyan, so detailed and very comprehensive. Thanks so much . Thumbs up 👍🏾
After owning the 320i from 2013 to present. This is what i learnt:
- Infotainment system inside the car (base one given is horrible, UI wise as well as search wise takes forever to find an artist, loses connection with the iPOD, have to reset it)
- 184 bhp, is good, comfort mode is decent, sport mode is the best way to drive any BMW. The full potential and driving experience only comes out in the sport mode.
-Sport mode is fun for curvy roads, and lane merges. Other than that on the straights, on freeways, better to go to comfort mode.
- Eco mode is one that I rarely use. Although it helps increase range, when searching for a gas station, under dire circumstances.
- Handling is great even for a 320i, which is the lowest in the category of BMW.
- Moon roof is an essential, if you like wind on your face / cabin get the moon roof and power seats.
- Failures over 4 years of owning:-
- Only one of the windows stopped working, warranty fixed it
- check engine light(once again warranty fixed it)
- 3 of my tires went bust, tubeless so could drive and have them replaced easily
- Extended warranty with mechanical warranty, as that seemed more essential that the regular maintenance warranty.(Warranties are around 2k - 3k at the moment)
- Now if I wanted to get another vehicle in the future, it has to offer me something more than my trusty 320i, we have made it to 66K at the moment, i hope to go to 300K with this baby.
*Porsche boxster 2013(used) yellow in color - More fun i think?
* Good ol'murican muscle upcoming Emperor Corvette(used) - More power
*Jeep wrangler(used) - off roader fun i think?
- If anyone read the rambling of this fool, your opinions on a future car to replace the 320i and experience with the 320i are most welcome.
Here in Peru the lowest in the range is the 318i, it has 3 cylinders and makes 136 hp. 0-100 kph in 8.9 secs and costs almost 40k, while the 320i is almost 50k.
do you still own it? if you do how is it doing so far?
Just bought a used 2017 320i XDrive and I’m super impressed with it. I don’t understand how everyone tries to compare this to the higher 3 series models. It’s a great car and has plenty of power. I realized something after purchasing this. Having a higher powered car is kind of worthless. Every time I place mine in sport mode and take off, I’m waiting for police sirens to go off. So having a car that can do 0 to 60 a second or two faster doesn’t make sense to me because you’re just asking for a ticket.
Very true. There’s really no point. 320i is more than enough
This is a joke right?
I never understood why people would buy a base BMW let alone a 320i.
Buy a Civic or a Mazda and get the same performance, better fuel economy and reliability while having an extra 5k in your pocket
@@isanchez9839 only reason I’m here is because I’m looking for a daily 😂 tired of driving the m4 everyday
@@bimmerguy9274 nice. But damn bruh how you going from a M4 to a 320i?
@isanchez9839 M4 to 325/8imakes way more sense right?
Love your vids! Don't ever stop making these reviews brotha.
Great review - I like the negative points you brought out that I didn't see on other reviews. Very concise and precise.
Always a good review! Thank you!
Just bought a 5-year old 2017 320i XDrive and I’m super impressed with it. As an older couple, it's the best car either of us has ever owned
Good job on the review. I hope BMW brings a 4cyl stripper 3 series to the market. 2800lbs, no turbo, manual transmission.
you're getting newer and newer cars in the lineup. great reviews bro :)
I just love your reviews of base cars. This is the car I can actually afford. Thank you for the great reviews. In Canada there is an 8000$ difference in price with 328
We agree, this could compare more with the ILX to be honest, or the Buick Verano.
Excellent rewiew. Congrats. Regards from Bogota Colombia.
i love the f30! my family rented it when we went on vacation to florida and i instantly fell in love. it's beautiful and perfect! i want one when i go to college!
Great review. I especially agree with the implicit recommendation to get the Sport Line 6-sp manual 328i... that's what I got and absolutely love it. It is true that the steering is too light on the non-Sport Line models. My Sport Line's steering is also relatively light compared with the E90 or E46 but has a nice weight to it and good feedback nevertheless.
Awesome review!
the little single limp dick exhaust pipe sprouting out on one side really kills the rear end of this car. christ, it looks horrible
Jacob Palmer I was thinking the same thing. They should have done the 2 pipe exhaust like on the e90s
I got my 320Ix with sport package , heated seats and moonroof. It was a program car with 4,000 miles that dropped $5,000 off sticker bringing it down to around $33,000. Add in the 5 year 50,000 mile service deal and this car works for a regular buyer. Gas milage has come in at around 30 miles a gallon and thats great. The car is fun to drive and is really peppy that is just fine for most drivers. I traded in my 2011 328ix with a six that was a bit faster but gas millage was much worse. This model is bigger and fun to drive that makes it a great car for the average driver looking for that experience only a BMW can deliver. In 2 years I`ll do the same thing and keep driving a BMW that makes me happy in my retirement years.
Good review sofyan
good job man!!love it!
Thanks for the review, I'm a BMW fan and I test drove a 328 and was stunned by the lack of steering feel. My Mini has electric steering too but much more feeling and much heavier. I really hope they fix this, the steering is so light it feels like a Suburban.
Nice review, Definitely will be going for the 328i or 335i after watching this
Excellent review.
Great reviews
The screen gets much larger when you get Nav and it becomes a widescreen.
Great overview.
Liked and sub'd. Great review good sir. Also, nice car.
Keep it up, good review.
Drove a 320i and then drove a 328i (both were 2013 model year) and i couldn’t believe how much quicker the 328 was. I wont use the word fast but its more power than most people will ever even use.
My family just ordered a 328i xDrive as a winter/daily errand kind of thing, and it's Alpine white with black leatherette. That alone saves about $2000 and the leatherette in the F30 is actually quite good. It's also got navigation and the harmon/kardon stereo. Total cost is only a little more than the 320 you have there, if you can get over all the things you've decided every car at a certain price point "should have." And for the record, the 328 doesn't come standard with a rear view camera.
Good review. You are spot on about the steering difference. I like the steering much better in my 2007 328 xi than this one. I got to drive a new 328 x drive for a few days while I was getting some work done. I wasn't impressed. The start/stop feature is a bit annoying ( it can be turned off). The 3.0 six seems much more fluid than the turbo 4. But the steering is the pits compared to the E90.
Redline Reviews Can you kindly make a video of 2015 320i and mainly the comparison video on the 320i and the 328i?
Just bought one, it everything he stated in the review!
To be honest, we like the idea of the 320i with the 6-speed manual. We just think it's still overpriced once you add in the usual options to make it more appealing. At $41 grand, this should have Nav, HIDS, a back-up camera, and the sport package.
Thanks for the review. Can you keep an eye out for a 328d to review when they arrive? Long roof preferred...
great review, i'm considering this car for a lease
E46 will forever be my favorite 3 series

Thank you sooo much for the review , I couldn't find any other reviews ... I Fuckin love you lol
very nice review
Good Review Of 2020 BMW 320i. 😀
Currently driving a 320i. I agree that the silver plastic wasn’t a good call however I will say on my car with the black leather interior it looks much better in contrast
the only people who don't like this car are the people that haven't tried to drive one
Or jealous people
idk, the 320i really just isnt it. i personally own a 328, and the 320is are way to slow, and not to mention it has no steering feedback :/ the 320i is just a bit boring, without the extra power that you get from the 328i. great ride, and amazing fuel economy for what it is, but overall the 320i is pretty disappointing
@@jj-fk9ez 328 is much better value, i have a 750 now lmao, not much value but its nice
Yee
12:20 It will not shout off if you are in sport mode
Very good video, did you make any vid about Renault Latitude? if yes show me the link, please. Thank you
good review
I understand your emphasis on the matter that BMW should refine some things in this car. However, you can't expect every single detail of the car to be top notch sport/luxury! This is an entry level, and lowest costing 3 series of the 3 series spectrum.
There's a 316 and a 318 before the 320.
KenDM my mistake. I meant in America for 2014
Brandon Le Sorry, wasn't aware of that.
I am seeing more of these 320i's here in L.A. now. Some will give up comforts or money just to say, "I am a BMW owner." And there are plenty of them in Southern California.
Hi! Great review, gonna get this one soon as a company car. I also went for the business navigation (so without the built-in HDD for music etc..) Do you know if the screen is the same compared to the one in your review? Or it the screen bigger?
Thanks!
omg... YOURE IN ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA ON LITTLE RIVER TURNPIKE WHEN YOU ACCELERATED ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE TEST DRIVE!!!
I test drove a 2013 320i m series package today and it was really nice it's small engine has plenty of pick up definetly feels like more than 180hp to me only thing I wish was that they came with navigation I might lease this car but probably wouldn't buy it
Me too but first they need to improve that CUE system. I know that has nothing to do with driving characteristics of the car but as an entire package that needs to be at the level iDrive is at now. I love the edgy styling of the ATS and it seems to have excellent driving characteristics along with tons of standard features.
I agree with the sound quality of BMW's 4-bangers. From the video, it sounds like a Honda 4-cylinder.
Sick whip.
Great car for the 17th year old birthday gift. You see a lot of 335i and even M3 driven by teens in Vancouver. I guess when you get to college you can get a M5 or M6.
Very good video
328i does not have backup cameras as standard its part of the PDC (Parking Distance Control) package
I think he may be referring to the European optional nav system. There's the professional and the business satnav. The US market ones can only be ordered as professional
It's a great car, I have one with the Sport line package in Thailand, the only difference is mine cost $90,000 because of the high import duty!
wtf!
The 3-series has come with runflat tires since the e90 (2006), so there's no need for a spare tire, and there's no fix-a-flat kit.
Make a video of the diesel version as well please
I've gotta say that if the only downside in the interior is a few trim pieces, BMW did a darn good job. Unless you pay $140k, not everything will be cushioned like a couch. I personally love the idea of the 320i. More than adequate power, and than capable in 98% of driving situations. Sure the steering may be a downgrade from the E90, but BMW more than made up for that with the MPG. I don't think I'm alone in saying that my daily drive isnt on a twisty back road.
Agreed
Great review brother... I am in the market for a used 2014 to 2016 bmw 320i for my wife.
the orange illumination was chosen because bmw determined it was the least distracting color at night...
Quick correction.. a backup camera isn't standard on a 328i Either :P
Other than that great video! I drove both the 320i and 328i (currently own the F30 328i) and honestly, the extra money is worth it, its a lot faster and the interior uses better materials. i.e., on mine the aluminum trim is actual metal haha. Also having the sport package makes a big difference in terms of handling too since it rolls in the Sports suspension. and Lighting pack is of course a must :)
wow the prices really went up because a year ago i bought a new 2011 328i xdrive fully loaded for 43k
I noticed you've highlighted 3 modes : Eco, Comfort, Sport. How is the comfort of the ride (stiffness) if you put it in comfort mode?
What about time from 0-60km/hr?
Damn good reviewer.
now i wanna see a 335i review
Do you guys have any plans to review the new impala?
41k seems mental when its 9k now
The F30s depreciated so hard!
9K cost + 15K per year in repairs and maintenance lol
supershroom164 nahh not even theyre not goin wrong much yet
Matt3667 They’re such pieces of junk. Especially the early ones. The N20 with its timing chain is the biggest problem. I’ve got a 2012 328i that I’ve had since about 44k miles and I really don’t like it. The fit and finish is garbage and the steering/suspension tuning/handling is so mediocre for a BMW. I regret not getting an E90. Those had a phenomenal straight six even in the 328i.
Alex Pascutiu aghh fair play, i gotta e36 328i
Currently, the only 2014 3 series out is the wagon.
Same 0-60 as the E90 325i. Steering is lighter. Power is probably better down low in revs so it feels a little faster. Real world if you lay off the options and just get the sport package it's a $33,000 car.
Looking cute Sofyan
I agree with you about the RWD. But let's face it, by the time you add all the stuff that should come standard (xenons, leather, a stereo that doesn't suck), the price is pretty ridiculous.
Honestly, the tires on this car did not look like run-flats.
Can you do a review of a 2012-2013 Volvo S60 T5 ?
Great review! I don't understand why though a car that high end doesn't come with Satellite Radio. If you do get it, it costs 3100 bucks. Not cool BMW! I want the 328i M-Sport no doubt which should come with more than it does imo but super car and looks great. Wish M-Sport was avail in 320i as to get the classic estoril blue but they rip you there too. :-/
amazing
Do a 2014 Lexus IS next!
honestly i dont think its worth picking fights with people over how fancy their corolla is LOL. however IMO there needs to be a line between drive dynamics and price. 41 grand can work wonders over in the japanese luxury department with maybe even better drive dynamics and double the value. for me its 328 and up is where the car's at.
I agree that silver dashboard is terrible. BTW, I get sea sick when you rock back and forth while circling the car. You say the horsepower feels inadequate, but how does the power delivery and performance numbers compare to the 6 cylinder E46?
Brian Gleeson Your avatar photo is a picture of a sailboat and you're sitting here crying about getting sea sick watching this video? Grow some balls, dude.
the only thing that I feel differentiates this from a GLI is rear wheel drive
Pedro D. Avalos gli is quicker it has 200hp
for 41k BMW could have made the interior much nicer.
Lol they're worth like 13k now ahahahah
@@vitaliyvechirko8515 literally more than this.....
@@Kxifs depreciation is nice. Got my 2015 328i for 17k
@@Brazillianboi69 just got a 2018 340ix 34k
uh, this new 320i IS turbocharged. As the reviewer correctly said, it's a detuned version of the 328's engine.
Next time use Google... a quick trip to BMW USA's website will confirm it's a 2 litre turbo engine in the 320. Cheers
You can always remap these to around 260-270hp :)
Haven't driven a BMW in years so i honestly can't say how the driving compares to the cost. I say this because with what you get in a Mazda 6 i doubt if i would spend that much on this car. I guess that is the price you pay for the nameplate.
Mazda 6 is great car very comfortable
Just remap it, I looked on tuning websites, potential to get 300bhp without having to do anything to the physical engine.
Daniel Brooks how would you do that ? i have a 2014 320i and i would love 300bhp. do you have any sites or names of who could do it for me ? thanks in advance
Okay, so there is a sunroof! So the 32,000 or so starting, the options added nearly 10k more to 42,000 lol! I didn't expect the silver plastic park and the cheaply styled steering wheel. I think I'll take the 335 overall. That's just my opinion. Is BWM trying to soften their ride?
Your rear passenger tire is touching the curb.
Can you test drive one with a manual transmission?
you don't get a spare tire because the tires can go 100 miles even while flat.
Honfy Lam how do you know it’s flat. After the 100 miles are up.
2013 BMW 320i, 916 miles.
Is plastic silver painted because you don’t want metal on the dashboard in case of an accident.
One thing is wrong v6 is still an option of plus 4 no turbo or turbo
Great review. I've always loved BMW's, but I've never liked their drivers/customer base. It may be just in Atlanta, but they've just put a really bad taste in my mouth.
you're not mistaken. Negative vibes abound. I've owned three and people assume you need to die soon when you drive one. Someone out there is ruining the brand's rep with their driving.
i didn't say it isn't the benchmark. im saying that it isn't as far ahead as it used to be
I have a 2012 328 and I HATE the new steering. They ruined the whole feel of driving a BMW. I'm so disappointed in them. I've owed 5 BMWs and this is least favorite.
Should've gotten the 335I, instead of the low end 328.:)
It wasn't low end. It was fully loaded modern line
