If you've been searching for a 2011 BMW 3 Series 328i for sale in Sacramento, CA, this is the one worth stopping for. R&A Auto Sales has a sharp Gray 328i 4-door Sedan SULEV in stock at just $10,995 — a compelling price for a German luxury sedan with only 84,800 miles on the clock. Whether you're upgrading your daily commute or simply want more car for your money, this 3 Series delivers the kind of driving experience that's hard to find at this price point.

About This 2011 BMW 328i Sedan

At 84,800 miles, this 2011 BMW 328i sits comfortably in what most automotive experts consider the sweet spot for a used luxury vehicle — enough miles to have cleared any early manufacturing quirks, but well within the range where a well-maintained BMW is just hitting its stride.

The SULEV designation (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) is worth noting. It means this car was built to stricter emissions standards than most vehicles of its era, reflecting both environmental responsibility and an engine that was tuned with precision from the factory. That's a genuine point of difference for California buyers navigating smog requirements.

The exterior Gray finish gives this 3 Series a clean, understated look that holds up beautifully in traffic and ages gracefully compared to flashier colors.

2011 BMW 328i Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits BMW's legendary 3.0L inline-six engine — one of the most praised six-cylinder engines in automotive history. Smooth, refined, and responsive, this engine produces around 230 horsepower and delivers a driving experience that simply cannot be replicated by most four-cylinder competitors in the same price range.

Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the power delivery is seamless whether you're navigating Capitol Mall at rush hour or merging onto Interstate 5 heading out of Sacramento. The 3 Series rear-wheel drive platform gives the car a balanced, athletic feel that BMW engineers spent decades perfecting. This isn't just transportation — it's a car you'll actually look forward to driving every day.

BMW 328i Features and Interior

The 2011 BMW 3 Series 328i Sedan was never a stripped-down car, even in base trim. At this level, buyers typically get a well-appointed interior with leatherette or leather seating, a power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and BMW's iDrive infotainment interface.

The cabin is driver-focused by design. The steering wheel falls naturally to hand, the instrument cluster is clear and legible, and the overall layout communicates quality in a way that many mainstream brands still struggle to replicate. For a 2011 model, the technology and material quality feel remarkably current.

The 3 Series also offers a genuinely usable back seat for a sport sedan — enough for two adults on longer drives or the everyday reality of Sacramento family life.

BMW 3 Series Reliability and Ownership

The E90-generation BMW 3 Series (which covers 2006–2011 models) has earned a strong reputation among enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. The N52 inline-six engine in the 328i is widely regarded as one of BMW's most reliable modern powerplants — far more so than some of the turbocharged engines that came after it.

Owners of this generation consistently report that with proper maintenance — regular oil changes, cooling system attention around the 80,000–100,000 mile mark, and valve cover gasket awareness — these cars run well past 150,000 miles without major drama. At 84,800 miles, this particular car is well-positioned for years of dependable service if it's been looked after.

It's always smart to pull a vehicle history report and, if possible, have an independent BMW-familiar mechanic inspect any used luxury vehicle before purchase. R&A Auto Sales can walk you through what they know about the car's history.
