Used 2014 BMW 3 Series 328d xDrive Wagon AWD for Sale near Peoria, IL

After driving my 2010 Jetta Sportwagen for 50,000 miles, I test drove the new 328d that BMW was finally offering in North America. I was looking for an automatic for my daily commute (my Jetta was a manual transmission, and I was getting a bit tired of the stop-and-go), and the 328d was an upgrade on everything that I already loved about the Jetta: AWD, more luxury, better mpg, a great automatic transmission, significantly more fun to drive, much quieter at cruising speeds with an awesome OEM stereo -- I just had to have it. I wouldn't call it the world's best value, at nearly 2x the price of my Jetta and offering only incremental improvements in many ways, but at the end of the day it makes for a cohesive whole with great character that stands up to any comparison with any vehicle. Nothing else on the road provides this kind of driving enjoyment while also offering the utility, space, mpg and luxury of this car. I love getting into it every day...
