My 1st BMW: Where Have You Been All My Life?
 I am the second owner of my 2013 328i.  I found it with 35K miles on the clock, and it was just about perfect:  Sport Line, Premium Package, Navigation, and 6 speed manual, Glacier Silver outside, Black Leather with Red Accents inside.   As the Germans would say, "Schoen".   Then there is the drive:  surprising power and quickness and the wonderful 50/50 weight balance that make the car so fun to drive. At the same time, you can comfortably and serenely commute or ferry passengers in it.  Plus, good fuel economy; in very mixed driving, I consistently get 25-26mpg, and that is with the car in Sport Mode 95% of the time.   So, yes, I really love my BMW; however, my love is not blind.  Among the things not so good are the halogen headlights.  Almost unsafely dim with the stock bulbs, so I upgraded to the brightest bulbs I could find.  Additionally, the base Hi-Fi audio system is not so great.  It lacks midrange, and Sirius in particular can sound muddy.  For reliability, besides a couple of warranty repairs (bad fuel injector, then fouled catalytic converter), my car has been relatively trouble free.  Being a BMW, yes, service and parts will cost you more.  I am going on the mantra of keeping up with the maintenance so as to avoid big issues.  You can pay dealer prices, you can find a good independent BMW specialist, or you can even tackle some repairs yourself.   In sum, there is no free lunch, but I feel the rewards of driving my 328i outweigh the pains.
