About two weeks ago my car was sandwiched while waiting at the light, someone decided I must have been moving because “my brake light is off”… Hey idiot, ever heard about the concept of PUTTING THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL? Just because my brake light is off doesn’t automatically mean that I am moving! Anyways, long story short, both the front and rear bumpers of my car were damaged so the insurance company got me a loaner from Enterprise while my car was in the body shop.
How I got the 328i from Enterprise you might ask… Well, the rate I was given is for a premium class car but lucky for me they ran out of premium cars on that day. Due to company policy they have to upgrade me to luxury which means I got the only luxury car on the lot, a 2008 black on black BMW 328i with about 25,000 miles. Following is the summary of my impression for the car:
Exterior: Well, there really is nothing to write home about the 328i’s exterior styling. Given that this is a base model so it comes with standard halogen headlight, which means no BMW angel eyes, bummer… Also, since this is not a sport package so the standard issue 16-inch wheels are at all four corners. I’ve stated before that I am not a fan about BMW’s paint job in recent year and this one is no exception, orange peel is very noticeable on this car given the black paint. It’s really not a surprise to me since I’ve noticed visible orange peel on BMW’s much higher end models such as 7-series and M6. Overall the styling is plain, inoffensive but very suitable for the class’ best seller, it is just like a Honda Accord in the entry level luxury sedan segment.
