328d Advice

Sunnyledge · 08-29-2016, 07:42 PM

I am considering a 2014 328d X Drive CPO. With 47,000 miles it won't have any free service, but a 3+ year warranty. I normally wouldn't be too concerned about 47k on a diesel, but should I? What about the rest of the car? What should I expect for the next major repair or expense?

Several threads about 328d lately. Search here, and in the N47/N57 diesel subforum. Might also check bimmerfest - lots of diesel traffic there.

Hi, I have 320d, only RWD. Currently have ~91k miles, had it since new. So far only regular maintenance and changing brake discs/pads. Reliable car with solid engine. Plan to keep for another 2-3 years.

Which year it is? Is it a manual or automatic?

I have a 328d Touring for 2 years now and nothing to report so far.

I have a '14 328d that was bought brand new, so far I've racked up a little over 55k without anything major aside from right when I bought it. Other than that, just the basics. Front brakes got replaced at 40k, and I have a wheel bearing going out, but I do drive it rather hard.

Early on a few diesels were having issues with the NOx sensor. The fix was to replace the sensor.

Outside of that I am not aware of any widespread issues with these, but I had mine for a very short time.

That was mine the day I bought it. Light came on while on the test drive, and again on the way home.
