The 2014-2016 BMW 328d Touring is a diesel-powered sports wagon that offers a compelling blend of BMW handling and impressive fuel economy, often reported in the 40-50+ MPG range by enthusiasts. Reviewers praise its good power and expected BMW ride/handling. It is known for its excellent efficiency and torque. Some models faced issues like timing chain concerns (especially pre-2016) and a potential high-pressure fuel pump failure, along with an intrusive stop/start system. This wagon is well-suited for drivers who prioritize long-distance road trips, commuting, and those seeking a balance of luxury, practicality, and high diesel efficiency.
