Nice looking car...congrats!

How is your 328 treating you? We have a 2011 as well. It just went over 50,000 kms on the clock and zero issues so far (knocks on wood)

I hope this thread does not turn into a FGC discussion. But my 328 has been completely trouble free like yours. Granted there are only 35,000 kms on mine. The joy of owning has been ruined quite a bit by what I read here (and elsewhere) about the FGC horror stories. I constantly think about when it is going to break and how outrageous the repair will be. It is hard to get the FGC stories out of my head.

90,000 relatively trouble free km on mine....take a deep breath.....this was the last year of that model's generation.  These are well sorted cars, and my indy expects it to be solid outside of the known issues with the cooling system.

Congratulations. Kias have really been nailing things in the styling department lately.  :thumbup:

Nice looking car. Congrats!
And no worries about your 2011 BMW 328i xDrive. I used to have the exact same car with a manual. It is very sound and solid mechanically, plus it doesn't have any "advanced" electronics, so I am sure it will remain (relatively) trouble-free for a long time to come. I still miss mine. The inline 6 is a gem.
