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.
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 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 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 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 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...
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.
