"Perhaps a little overated?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Driver's seat won't move forward / back.

Computer screen bulbs blow.

General comments?

Surprisingly not as well built as my 300ZX.

Handles very well.

A little 'common'.

Don't you hate 318's, why would anyone buy a 318?

Would like my 328 to stand out from the 318i.

I own a 318i.

It hasn't got the engine, but has everything else your car has and cost about £6000 less.

Also you obviously can't afford a 328i anyway if your seat is broken. Sell it and get a 318i.

It will do about 20 more miles to the gallon and go about 4 seconds slower. In a city where I live that seems pretty sensible to me.

That's why I can afford and own a '318i' If I wanted gas guzzling performance I would move to the country and get one.

I own a 328is.

I hate everyone else who owns a bmw 3-series. here's why:

-the 318 is a lot cheaper and looks just as cool/sophisticated.

-the 4-door 3-series looks crummy, but similar enough to mine that, because everyone has one, my car looks less distinguished

-the m3 is way nicer and i can't even compete with it. the styling looks a little flamboyant, though, but i'd still trade.

and i really hate people with the 528. if you're going to get the 5-series, get one with a real engine. the 2.8 6-cyl hardly moves my car. imagine how sluggish the bigger one is!

so just get a new 330Ci and you'll have a much better car that looks more up to date and you'll probably pay less than i did for my clunker.

328 sluggish? I don't think so,I think

you must of been sold a 318 by mistake,

also the 528 has won just about every

executive car award, so it can't be that

bad!

I own a 98 BMW 328i. And I love it, it's an awesome car, I don't really have a problem with 318's, who cares. I took it to the track, did 00-60 in 6.2 and 1/4 in 14.9 stock. It's awesome.

I've raced M3's before and I'm neck to neck with an AT Sadans from the light. I've raced M3 5 speed coupes before and they are not much faster.

The 328i is an awesome car over all. But the M3 still comes with a lot more than just acceleration. It handles like a dream too!

It's fairly obvious this guy doesn't know what he has, especially if he thinks his 300zx is somehow better. The 328 engine is a great preformer, that's why it is put in the 2.8 z3 (which I have) as well as the 5 series.
