This appears the best review on the net of the 328i....
Im mulling over the 328i or the 330D Before I pull the trigger and splash out £20k on a 328i Can you advise me about the mpg you are getting? I can not find any evidence about what to MPG to expect BMW state 44mpg but if I could get 40 then I would get the 328 and save the extra £2500 it costs to get the 330D any advice greatly appreciated Thanks Last edited by Twenty2Three; 09-27-2015 at 05:29 PM..

Knocking around 35-37mpg. Cold knocking around - 32-35mpg. Driving like a twat - 27-21mpg. No, really driving like a twat - 22-25mpg. It's good, but honestly, get the 330d. That does 45-48mpg whether you coax it or boot it.

Thanks for the update...
to be honest I feel the end is on the cards for diesels now The recent VW and now Audi scandal will put many off so its possibly a 328i for me...although not as fast there are no DPF issues Just an opinion |

I was looking into buying a 328i wagon and went to test drive one. The first thing I noticed when I sat in the car is how far the driver door panel protrudes into the footwell. It didn't allow me to spread my legs out and was very uncomfortable pushing into my leg.. Did anybody else have a problem with this? I am 6'2" 215lbs.

Thanks for this old review thread! I’m thinking of selling my ‘11 328i (E92 LCI) for a F30 328i, preferably the M sport. Why? Just because of the more aggressive looking front and rear bumper.
As I’ve been looking around at F30’s, I’ve noticed that most 328i’s don’t have the halos/xenon projector headlights, even the M sports which most come with cold weather package and a lot of other packages I can’t recall. What should I be looking for (specifically referring to the packages name) if I want the OEM halos/xenon lights in the car? |

Not sure if it's adaptive headlights. All i know is it comes with the standard BMW halos, projector bixenons. I guess lighting package makes sense lol. Thank you, I love the E92 but I'm really digging the F30. It's really hard letting go of the E92, specially the LCI with every single light bulb in and out of the car being LED, but I plan on coming back to a E92 (M3 hopefully) in a few years.

Thanks for the detailed review. It made me even more enthusiastic about the drive home in my 440i.

If you have it in DS mode, using the paddles will put the car into full manual mode, and you will have to flick the shift lever into D to go back into automatic. However, if you're in D mode, it will automatically return from manual to auto. If you pull and hold the left paddle, it will downshift to the lowest available gear. Quote:

That's not much at all! Easily another 81k miles could go on that engine, plus more.

Yea probably. I see that your car has the cold weather package. Does that mean you get heated seats for front and back AND a heated steering wheel?

Yup - front + back seats + steering wheel heated. That's one package that has really spoiled me. And the lighting package. I could probably live without the tech package.

In the US, all three are heated with the Cold Weather Pkg on the 3 series. Of all places, Canada should have all three heated!

That’s awesome. I’ve never owned a car with a heated steering wheel. Besides the halos, what’s included in the lighting package? And the tech package? Is there a link or source I can find to describe what each package has instead of bombarding you with questions? Lol thanks for your time man
