      Well , who said that most children are stuck on mobiles and iPads in a car.
      Also isn't it stereotypical to say that kids just see the outside view?
      Also what do you think is meant by older kids?
      As a 13 year old the only things I do in a car is
      1) see the road ahead( and the other cars)
      2) the rev meter
      3) the speedometer

    It’s a great update to the 3, the styling is so much better than the previous couple of gems, and it’s bristling with tech, but I’m really struggling with the offset pedals on longer trips. I find the right seat bolster squab really digs into my thigh if I have my foot on the accelerator.

    • @shabeerjameela3748
      @shabeerjameela3748 8 месяцев назад

      have you got used to the offset pedals yet? I've had a 2nd hand G20 since last 6 months and even 10 mins of driving is triggering strain/pain in lower right back above bum and on the right ankle. No such issues on my VW Touran or while road cycling for 2-3 hours or running 5K. So I am fit but 10 mins on this car is triggering mentioned strain/pain; I am at the highest set position after multiple tweaks and its the best I've been able to get to with relatively least discomfort. I am 171.5 cms tall. If things finally worked for you, let me know what adjustments you made with seating etc.

      I'd like to join in here. Bought a 320d xdrive 2 months ago for the daily commute. It's a LHD. The transmission tunnel is so wide both legs are twisted to the left causing pain I've never had before. Whole right leg is in bits: hamstring, butt, knee is all twisted. This isn't normal. And is never mentioned on car reviews, only on bmw forums. It's a huge issue. More than likely will have to sell car again. What a literal pain in the ass.

    Abandoned Mercedes-Benz and hubby got us The 3. I've never had this much fun in a car. I LOVE IT!

      You want at least the first Hi-fi package for decent stereo. The noise insulation is good in the 3-series, as long as you don't get one with the runflat tyres. Oh and forgot to mention the aircondition blower is a bit loud at middle or higher setting, unlike in the 5-series. If you keep it at auto, put it to second lowest fanspeed, then it's quiet.

    Got my BMW 330i G20 now for 3 weeks. its absolutely fantastic. The suspension on comfort mode just floats over bumps, but in sporty mode it really feels like an proper M car. although it doesnt have an M engine. And for anyone wondering, yes i've drove an M car on track. Im coming from an BMW 330i (E90 2005) this is my second car, also first one with an automatic and the gearbox just floats thru gears and shifts perfect when you want it to shift. i've got the luxury line version almost full option. Such a pleasure to drive.

    Hi Mat, you mentioned the USB Type-C in the back, I think you would like to know that there is something called "Power Delivery" it is actually a feature that allowing the charging port to "communicate" with the device you're charging and understand the exact voltage and ampere it requires. Without Power Delivery and USB Type-C (USB-A to USB-C won't work) you won't be able to charge new laptops such as the new Macbooks or any new laptop that comes with USB Type-C port.
    It is actually means that BMW took the charging capabilities one step further and I admire them for that!!
    BTW, it also allows for extremely quick charging time of new smartphones and the new Canon Mirorless cameras :)
