This Year's Model Updates:

After a full redesign last year, the 2013 BMW 3 Series gains standard power front seats and a new M Sport equipment line, while the xDrive all-wheel-drive system makes its return. A less expensive 320i trim level is also new for the sedan body style only. Meanwhile, the ActiveHybrid3 sedan debuts for 2013, offering 28 mpg combined and an eye-popping price.

Pros:
  • Elegant hardtop convertible design.
  • Upscale cabin
  • Excellent ride/handling balance
  • Powerful and fuel-efficient engines
Cons:
  • Limited interior storage space
  • New sedan is less involving to drive than carryover models
  • ActiveHybrid3 lacks typical hybrid efficiency.

  • Steering Wheel Vibration - 2013 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    This summer I ordered my 328 exactly they way I wanted it and waited for two months for it to arrive. My steering wheel had a vibration between 40mph and 60mph and at first thought the tires were breaking in. Sent to the dealer after a few weeks and the loaner they gave me had the same problem but WORSE!!! Ive since discovered that BMW was made aware of a "potential" steering wheel vibration between the speeds of 40mph to 60mph in February 2012. Sold me my 328 without testing it and traded my 328 convertible, which I would have kept if Id known the new sedan had this problem. Im in the process of returning the vehicle. Trying to work out a deal to buy a 5 series now.
