I just bought mine over the weekend but I got the Dynamic handing package-Adaptive M suspension shadowline version $52k out the door. First time BMW owner so pretty excited
@@moonlightsilent5086 The BMW Dynamic Handling Package is an option package for some BMW models that may include adaptive suspension, roll control, or active steering systems. Dynamic Drive allows the system to adjust the roll stabilizers to allow for maximum comfort on smooth, straight roads and reduce body roll through corners.
I added the Dinan Power Tune on to my 325 xDrive and it added up to 30 horsepower when paired with the app and also has a valet mode. It does not void the warranty if you have it installed at a certified BMW dealer.
I used to work for the government chauffeur department in Germany. I drove BMWs from 225e , 330e,530e to 745e . They were all one year leases. We drove a lot of miles and never we had an issue with one of them . As a German living in the U.S. I'm not a huge fan of German cars because they tend to have a lot of expensive technical issues BUT BMW really stands out . I'm confident to say they're still reliable I would buy one myself. What I love about BMW is the ride quality fit and finish. We had a brand new 2021 Audi A6 in our fleet. Loved that car but not as good as BMW when it comes to quality. Stick with BMW guys.
Yes i agree. I have a 2019 330i and was way better than any of the cross shopped competition. And i was coming out of a 2016 f30 328 that was rather dissapointing.Also, the open pore wood totally evalates the interior. Great car!
I rented one, had it for two weeks, they= key is to manually shift it in sport mode. Yuo can keep it at a higher RPM where the turbos are spooled up. It's so much more responsive and controllable. for sport triving its a must
I own the 2018 330i XDrive and I have to agree the driving experience is way better than the Audi and Merc. The firmness in handling is too good. And yes those 300Nm torque makes a lot of diff
You have to spend at least 47-50k to get the features most people want. That is too much $$ IMO. Additionally, the depreciation on these things is ridiculous. Check out the prices on 2020 models. I've seen them 10k cheaper than a new one! And, no matter how much you spend you can't get ventilated seats. Don't get me wrong, I like BMW but I just don't see the value here. I recently drove a 2021 Honda Accord Touring. I know, it is not a BMW. But with a sticker price of $38K you get every option that the bmw comes with except for the heated steering wheel (a 300 dollar option). Same horsepower, same torque, better depreciation percentage, and less expensive to maintain. Even an Acura TLX should be on your shopping list. I do agree with leasing instead of buying. Out of warranty maintenance and repair costs will be crazy expensive. Maybe that is how they get you to buy a new one after the warranty expires. Hmmmmm
Did you notice it has a configurable how strong you want the lane departure and change feature. Looks like you are driving with strong lane keep configuration. change it to low and it won't feel that strong.
Adam, thank you, great video. Your explanations are pleasant and objective. I totally agree with you, this car is worth what it costs, by far. I bought a 330i 2020 almost two years ago and it is a great car. Regards from Mexico.
@@nessuno5403 Thank you for your question. I have not had any serious issue with this car in two and a half years. The comfort access had a problem, but BMW fixed for free, great job!
I just picked up my 2021 Bmw 330i I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!! It’s black with the 19inch bmw Rims it’s sooooooooo nice love the drive I did lease it was good choice for me❤️❤️ I’m definitely loving it
It's interesting because many of the major critics (us news, consumer reports) say that the 3 series interior is not as nice as the competition, like the A4. I don't know what they are talking about because I think the quality is just as nice (if not nicer). I always like the simplicity of the BMW interiors. The new Audi interiors look too harsh and clunky now IMO. Bmw keeps it simple and classy. This will likely be my next car. just not sure if I want a regular or hybrid. I want the hybrid but I hear they are not as reliable as the normal gas ones.
I can't decide between 330i. and M235i. The 235 is really nice with a lot of great options and the panoramic roof. The dealership I'm working with has both.
I rented a 2 series, it’s so cheap and small, everyone looks at you thinking you got into the brand for the brand and you barley can afford it lol the 3 series is the perfect sedan. 5.3 second 0-60 and size wise it grew a lot from previous 3 series from the 2000’s. It portrays more luxury and quality and size than the 2
@@davidmargolis95 I agree it provides more luxury and quality. I did get the M235I and its very nice. I got real leather seats and its very zippy. I have noticed some things I am disappoint in quality wise. The only think I like better is the smaller size. My previous 3 series was too wide and hard for me to park. I prefer to drive the 2 series but desire the quality of the 3 series. Some weird things have happened to my new car like I turn it off and it still stays running so I have to restart it and turn it off again. There are color choices and I want blue once I took it in for the 1st oil change its stuck on purple and the dealership does not know why. Worried
i don't know which trim is this? why don't you have digital speedo meter. Also, your central console is so tiny. You should have upgraded to M sport version.
Love the color .I went with Black Sapphire Metallic with black leather seats ,night package ,track and handling package with red M Brakes with these wheels adaptive cruise control laser lights ,Harmon Kardon ,wireless charging pad ,Adaptive M suspension.remote engine start . Heads up display. People say the Dynamic handling Package is a waste of money .Don't fool yourself .Hitting twisting roads at 45 or more ,it handles like a champ and the larger brakes ,makes it that much more sportier . My car is 2021, picked up from dealer( October 15,2021} ,the production time was 6o days.So it was not affected by the semiconductor chip.The 2022 is missing a lot of the options above .The active cruise control is my favorite and it reads stop signs and slows the car down when I reach different speed zones.I love my BMW and this is my 8th one since 1984. would never buy a base model.my car cost $55,678 6k down 60 months @ 567.63. With this chip shortage. I am keeping my car .
Not bad not bad...never been a huge fan of bmw for some reason, but I’m kind of digging this 3 series. Too bad BMW is losing me hard on the new front end grill design on the newer cars :(
Where's the digital dash? I had this for a few months and was bored out of my mind. Should've bought a M3. Bought a Elantra N and never had more fun on track
The market for new and used cars is absolutely insane right now. There is more demand than there is supply. The shortage should last for another few months, possibly closer to the end of the year.
No ventilated front seats? Not even as an option? Damn I was so close to getting this car but not offering ventilated seats was the deal breaker for me.
Base configuration means nothing. You want the Premium Package at the very minimum. Leather is worth it. Think $52k…minimum. You need to put it into Sport Mode for it to feel like a BMW. Lane assist is annoying. Otherwise, it drives perfectly and sounds great. Blind spot detection and heads up display are very nice.
Good review I have 2020 BMW 330 I and before that I have 2017 Audi A4 BMW ride is much better also if you go with non run flat tires which I did ride will be much smoother
Hi! I have the same car, after purchasing it I realize that Dashboard Instrument Cluster is like the one you are showing in the video, but not a whole bigger screen like what other people shower. What are the differences between the 2? Are there some opinion added in order to get the other dashboard?
I'm 6-4" How tall are you, and how do you feel you fit in this car? I['ll have to keep an eye on leasehacker and see what pops up. Kills me to see the 4 bucks a gallon out there. #Stupid high..mid 2's here.
I’m 6’’4 245 lbs I have one and I fit fine.It’s just a far drop down to get in seat but other than that I’m very comfortable .I have a lot of head room my knees have alot of room from the steering wheel .Don’t worry you fit
Oh and yea the gas sucks but you can feel the responsiveness and if your not in sport mode you will still get good gas Mileages. Don’t let the 3.50 a gallon change your mind you’ll thank us later
Good review!!! U said lease! Rite so why not buy? Or buy pre own bmw!!! I have 2016 accord coupe really fighting should I trade it’s paid off it just get the Bmw and have 1 car.🤦🏾♂️
I’d go BMW almost went Audi then read reviews on oil leak problems with the Audi. I ended up buying the bmw 330i M sport package shadowline but also bought the 75k/5 year maintenance package with it
I drive a Tesla so I’m not biased at all but I’m sorry dude BMW cannot compare to Mercedes sometimes I get inside BMWs and they still have buttons for the radio like their interior is not modern at all and their cars are very uncomfortable!
Ever since I was a kid my goal in life was to own a BWM and now that i finally have the money to purchase one, the features of the car seems pretty basic to me. I’ll rather put my money on Tesla model s plaid
I’m looking at cars I’m going to trade in for my 2020 bmw 330i but mine is the base model no xdrive and it has 320HP are u sure there’s 255 on there..? And ahh man they removed the digital dash...
The only issue with a car like a 330 (and the 530 as well) at the lower base trim levels is the interior seating is all upholstered in plastic vinyl instead of leather. To get leather seating you have to spend nearly 70K, which is a complete ripoff for a 4 cylinder “luxury” car.
I agree with your beef and it applies to most of these luxury cars. Fake leather for a $50k car is BS. But you exaggerate the cost if talking US dollars. I saw one with real leather at the local dealership the other day for under 50k. Nicely equipped too.
I just got one!!! My husband surprised me with it today! A white one!!! I just hate my new boo does not have the blind spot monitor and bird’s eye view feature! 😔
Your dash is weird! My '21 330e looks completely different and my centre screen is way larger. Canada vs. USA I guess. Mine's better 😸 I just did a currency conversion to USD for my 330e XDrive price I paid - $39,885. Pandemic pricing eh?
Trust me when i tell yall get this or the 340i you won't regret it plus the stairs you get when driving these cars are priceless and i need to throw a little bit of shade i dislike seeing youtubers or people sitting on these luxurious high price cars just stop it because if you owned it you damn sure wouldn't be sitting on it. Stop possing on things you dont own
