@@henrypark4356 Why are you saying this? no one asked and no one didn't know but what you said its also wrong lol. X drive has different uses and most of the x drive cars are not Haldex like VAG so no it isn't front wheel drive with power to the rear when slip is detected on the 3 series

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.
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.
Had a Merc for 11 years. C180 (2012 facelift and a great car), C200 (wouldn't start when I went shopping one day - 6 weeks after buying it) and the C220d (replacement of the C200, this one left me stranded on the side of the highway with NO warning). Abandoned Mercedes-Benz and hubby got us The 3. I've never had this much fun in a car. I LOVE IT!
so this was probably filmed a little while ago but the Apple carplay thing is no longer true. it is no longer subscription based. if the car has it, it is included forever at no extra cost anymore.
Just picked up the F30 second hand at an amazing price. Well kept by the original owner. Love the performance of the car. Looking forward to driving the G20 one day.
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.
This review is SPOT ON! I have this car in the same spec except it’s black in colour and it’s absolutely incredible. Definitely an accurate and fair review of this car. It’s easily the best all rounder and certainly best in class!
Bought my first 3 series a few weeks back and havent looked back since. Once this one has run its course i'll defo be in the market for a newer version.
Mat struggling to lift the boot floor to get at the battery is one of the reasons I love his reviews. It reassures me: It's not just me who struggles with stuff which should be so basic. E.g. when the instructions say, "Simply rotate this or unclasp that..." and it's anything but "simple."

Carlos Lago said the same thing about the BMW M2 (which I imagine would be the same as the rest of the 2 series). Mat has also said that of several Mercedes cars and I feel like I always get twisted in my Mercedes.
Bmw have forgot how to make right hand drive manual cars. They can’t even stop the steering gromet used to plug unused steering column hole from letting water in
The pedals are a little bit to the right because you are supposed to use one foot for both (the right one) and them being off center to the right makes it easier to do so

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.

Idk how well that “I’m tired” feature would work, but it’s quite clever. Though it might be more useful if it directed you to the nearest coffee shop or just said “WELL PULL THE HELL OVER, THEN.”
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 :)

He complained because *nobody* has C to C cables with their phone charger 🙄 "Future-Proofing" is a bonus, not a hindrance... This is "Present-Faffing" 😜
The best thing about this video is that he says it’s a rear wheel drive it drives better power from the back and steering in the front but clearly says xDrive on the back of the car
That sunroof is so small compared to mercs panoramic sun roof and it’s 2020! Also I see a few hard plastic parts e.g behind the steering wheel which Matt didn’t point out like he usually does for other cars. But definitely a nicer car compared to current c or a4.
why do people keep on saying the bmw 3 series copied the lexus IS's tail lights, they didn't bmw had those on the 3 series before the IS did. because the current 3 series was made in 2018, the IS came in 2022, so don't say that bmw copied lexus when they clearly didn't.

But he's right tho... BMWs nowadays are shitty when it comes to reliability. It will cost u a fortune to maintain past the warranty.
@@AlexanderGeorge yeah but in overall German cars are great to drive and you have much fun driving them. But nowadays all new cars aren't very reliable because they have much electronics
*Endless money pit* 😂
Its only because of too much electronics & a bit of interior quality is also reduced.
Otherwise its the best german vehicle.
3:10 great editor you have there carwow 🤣👍
The Burberry jacket looks great. 👌🏼
Thanks! I was wondering which brand it was.
alexahijado distinctive Burberry pattern lining.
10/10 car just wish it had the signature BMW Angel/Halo Eyes for the daytime running lights

Title: 2020 bmw
Award: 2019 best car
Number plate: 2018
Number plate 68, so from Sep 1st 2018 to Feb 28th 2019, so technically could be a 2019 model year...
Couldn't care less, stopped the video when I saw that hideous grille.

@@ryadhasanahmed5443 neighbour parks his on the road near my house. Got to see it every day and still can't believe how the traditional carmakers are making such hideous adaptations to legacy designs 🤢🤢🤢
Are you sure this particular car was rear wheel drive? I saw a clear Xdrive badge there😁😬
Get one in 12-18 months when they all get handed back once the rental periods are up!
a great car, BMW knows and knows how to create a great product
Yup
No argument there.
Not a big BMW fan, but they sure do know how to make a solid car with all the features and looks.
(Apart from the 1 series team)
@@AmarHujan I'm a big BMW fan but yeah they sorta screwed up there

It's not just an in-depth review... it's an ULTIMATE in-depth review.
I’ve had an M340i for about 4 months now and I’m still in shock about how much better it is than my F30 335i in every possible way.
My only gripe is that my passenger (right, in the US) side door speaker just started rattling like crazy at any volume when the music is even slightly bass-y. I’m hoping I can either find a DIY for it, or have a dealership 😱 find a fix for me.
Big up BMW for not putting on fake exhausts!
Yeah unlike other brands
When you're in the back seats and go over a speedbump it is a painful experience
For a sporty car, yes
3:11 best way to end the year
My Friend just bought this yesterday and his loving it .

People misuse the car and then complain that it breaks down and have to pay for the repairs. Go buy a hooptie toyota the repaira are cheaper.

Aka Tesla Model 3 - I’m 2 years into ownership and have yet to spend a dime for repairs.
This car is so HOT you gotta do an ultimate review for the first time ever 😤 mad respect
Front lights remains me of the e46 - Just way more aggressive. So nice to see some old design elements beeing refreshed
I think that it would be really good to hear a mention of what tyres come factory fitted to the car that you're reviewing.
Range Rover
Great review.. I want one oh so bad BuT waiting to see what the New M3 looks like (always wanted an M3). Keep up the great work, your reviews are stella!
New 3 series is actually so good
13:01 why Matt laying across the seats like that? hahaha
Sometimes bad boys need spanking
😄😄😄🤣🤣
Drive it as a fleet car ! It’s a stunning car ! Love it !
Bought this model same spec and colour MSport today! 2021 320d demonstrator model with 3000 miles on it. Picking it up on Saturday. Have to say I’m delighted 😊
Mat, i'm sorry to say this, but the pedals are ofcourse offset to the right, supposing you only use 1 foot when you have an automatic gearbox. :D
BMW future proofing cars with USB-C ports...
Mat - STOP IT
Vihanga Rajalingam I know right!? Why on earth would he tell them not to future proof it?
I’m on his side on this one;)
He complained because *nobody* has C to C cables with their phone charger 🙄
"Future-Proofing" is a bonus, not a hindrance... This is "Present-Faffing" 😜
Stfu
I like the 2020 m340i Beter with 374 hp
wish carwow really give a discount on ferrari too XD
The best thing about this video is that he says it’s a rear wheel drive it drives better power from the back and steering in the front but clearly says xDrive on the back of the car
Daily driver is a beat up legacy sedan...chipped to 170hp, love it. This is my dream car 330xdrive diesel stationvagon. Good channel👍👍👍
Thanks For Demonstrating *The Only Acceptable Use Of An Umbrella By A Man*
Mat says that it's rear wheel drive, but why does it have an Xdrive badge...
Great review as always. Please do a review on the M340i just cant wait
That sunroof is so small compared to mercs panoramic sun roof and it’s 2020! Also I see a few hard plastic parts e.g behind the steering wheel which Matt didn’t point out like he usually does for other cars. But definitely a nicer car compared to current c or a4.
why do people keep on saying the bmw 3 series copied the lexus IS's tail lights, they didn't bmw had those on the 3 series before the IS did. because the current 3 series was made in 2018, the IS came in 2022, so don't say that bmw copied lexus when they clearly didn't.
