ABOUT THE 2016 BMW 328I XDRIVE
The 2016 BMW 328i xDrive is the all-wheel-drive four-cylinder model of the sixth-generation 3 Series saloon (F30). It uses the N20 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 240 hp and 255 lb-ft (350 Nm). This entry covers the version with the eight-speed automatic.
A transition year
2016 brought the F30’s mid-life update, with revised lights, bumpers and interior details. The 335i was replaced by the 340i with a new six-cylinder engine, while the 328i kept the N20 for one more year before being replaced by the 330i for 2017. That makes the 2016 car the final 328i.
Practicality
The saloon seats five and has a usable boot, and the 328i xDrive was also offered as a Sports Wagon for buyers needing more space. All-wheel drive makes it a sensible choice in snowy regions.
Buying one today
Wear of the N20’s timing chain guides is the best-known issue, most common on earlier engines. Oil leaks from the oil filter housing and valve cover gaskets and failures of the electric water pump are other commonly reported weak points.
Rivals
Rivals included the Audi A4 2.0T quattro, Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC, Lexus IS 300 AWD and Cadillac ATS AWD.
