2016 BMW 320i xDrive Full Tour & Review | TestDrive Legacy

Today we take a look at BMW's entry level sedan, the 2016 BMW 320i xDrive with Sport Line package. The 320i's MSRP is $46,149CND with the optional Sport Line package which adds $3,300 to the price but includes Park Distance Control for the front and rear, front sport seats with heat, leather upholstery and high quality trim, and a sport heated steering wheel.
This review shows the interior features of the car along with our opinion about it's options. We'll have a detailed video coming later on showing the iDrive options and another video with a test drive of the car.

great video, you went into great details especially the radio staying on part, thanks

[@PRNTestDrive]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

[@vicm2903]

In order to turn off the music after you turn off the car, you have to press on the start/off button one more time. I hope that helps.

[@PRNTestDrive]

It does, thanks! I finally discovered that when I shot the video for the X3 xDrive 28d little while after. It's a change I wasn't accustomed to with my older BMW :)

[@HCChen86]

Victor Mata that's because press two times in order to fully turn off your car. Just like the old key, your turn two section to pull out the key. But when you just press one time and lock the car I think it still fully turn off the car after you lock the car for a while.

Great video, pretty straight forward.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I’m glad you think so, this was a very easy video that we did, I think I’ve improved significantly since.

[@ashleymiskin5284]

Great video, enjoying some of the old classic BMW and Mercedes reviews as well..

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks! The older videos seem to be the popular ones on our channel. It's hit or miss, vehicles like this 320i do well, but others like the Mercedes C300 did not.

[@ashleymiskin5284]

I know what you mean, always great seeing the classics. I love your 740 IL, I myself have a BMW 5 series, living in the UK our roads are not equipped as well as the American roads !! Hence tend to go for the 5 series rather than a 7...

[@PRNTestDrive]

Our roads here aren't that great either, but once we move they'll be even worse. We're going to have to scout out some smooth pavement for future videos!

[@ashleymiskin5284]

PRN oh yrs the roads in the U.K. are ok but we lack the space you guys have in N America. Some of my finest memories of driving are in the US, great roads! If you're ever in the UK you are welcome to review my F 10 !!

[@PRNTestDrive]

We'll definitely let you know!

Mine is arriving tomorrow , ive really worked hard for it, can’t wait to put the baby seat inside and hit the road😀😀

[@PRNTestDrive]

Very nice, enjoy it!

[@danielhenderson7050]

Nice video, thanks

[@PRNTestDrive]

I'm glad you think so, we've improved our quality exponentially since this came out.

[@danielhenderson7050]

@@PRNTestDrive cool, I'll be sure to check out some more .

[@mariodorado5950]

Really helpful video...too bad you didn’t talk about the space and confort for riders on the back seat. It would’ve been nice to pop open the trunk and engine compartments and tell us a bit about both. Specific gas mileage?

[@PRNTestDrive]

This was a very early video that we did before I figured out the rythm of the show. We've since filmed a full episode on the 2019 430i Gran Coupé, and a short video on the 2018 330i.

[@ILoveJesus2695]

Hi just saw your channel, how nuts it is this car is at the 15 000$ mark in Toronto with 100kms. So 4 years it lost 30k.. Btw looking for my mom, where is the I drive explaining video?? She likes Audi after driving the Q5... I want to use your channel to show about bmw. Love em so much. I subbed and can't find the video yet, pls link me it

[@PRNTestDrive]

We ended up filming a second video on the driving segment on this car, it's one of our first car videos and the format of this show has changed significantly since then. Overall the depreciation on these are huge, it's great to pick up one as a certified pre-owned to get a really good deal.

[@CJJaxxson]

As a big guy how would you rate the cars space and access / comfort?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Better than the older 3 Series models like the E46. I'm quite comfortable sitting in the driver's seat of the F30 where as the E46 felt tight. BMW has definitely made their interiors feel larger as time goes on.

[@emadnadi152]

what is the difference between the 2016 and 2017 model in the exterior and interior design ??//

[@PRNTestDrive]

Between 2016 and 2017 there shouldn't have been any noticeable differences. The 2016 model year was the facelift, so it has a slightly different look from a 2015, along with different engine tunes.

[@gunnarelisigurjonsson2587]

Kaleo. Good choice 🇮🇸

[@NewfieBullett]

I drive an E90 with an N52 engine, I'd love to see you do a review

[@PRNTestDrive]

I ended up doing a 2009 335i a couple years ago with the N54 engine, closest I've gotten so far. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ-5pqSDetaAr5Y

[@masisb5939]

So you can't charge your phone unless you have that hatch open?

[@PRNTestDrive]

There's a way to feed the cable through the arm rest, but I haven't driven a car with a USB connector that charged a phone very well. I still prefer using the 12V outlet with a plug.

[@segerkranz2287]

Whats up with the mushroom-music?

[@serenelounge]

There is no sport package on this BMW, the steering wheel is different and has the M badge at the bottom. It should also be equipped with a black or Anthracite headliner. Just something to consider :)

[@serenelounge]

+Possibly Awesome maybe not for your market, but the US market gets the m sport steering wheel, m suspension and the black headliner for the sport package.

[@prn_tech]

@@serenelounge That would be the M Sport package, this is just a 'Sport' package.

Acceleration? HP? Gearbox?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Something sadly we didn't do back at the start of our automotive content, but something we've ensured to include since.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Does 4 wheel drive affect the steering feel much? Thx

[@PRNTestDrive]

It doesn't feel like it does, but it helps that the steering is electric so it helps to alleviate any differences. We'd definitely like to have the opportunity to review a non xDrive vehicle side-by-side with an xDrive one like this.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Thx

[@christyanaya3437]

Would have purchased this car but the car button is broken for the cup holders.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Definitely not a good sign on a 5 year old car. BMW doesn't have the best track record for interior plastics like their cup holders, but you'd expect them to last a lot longer than 5 years.

[@John.doe26840]

The bottom line for e46 is 320i not 323i lool

[@PRNTestDrive]

They didn't sell the 320i here in Canada, we got the 323i.

[@John.doe26840]

@@PRNTestDrive my friend Jermaine has a 2005 320i what is your insta name I’ll send you a pic

[@melvinjohnson7033]

At about 40k for a new base model the 320i is hopelessly overpriced. Fake leather seats and bland interior in base trim and only 180 horsepower under the hood from the noisy turbo four popper. Same power as a Camry 2.5 XLE w/o the notoriously unreliable BMW reputation for 15K less.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Good points. $40k is a lot for essentially a badge. I don't understand the reason for buying a luxury brand but getting the base model, it's only to be able to show off the badge. It's one of the reasons I don't plan on buying a new car of any make, much better deals to be had on pre-owned fully loaded models.

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Agree 100% on the pre owned luxury makes. Big depreciation on a one or two year old car plus if its a factory certified BMW etc you get a nice (hopefully) low milage car with the extended factory warranty.

[@opmike343]

Paid 19K for my used 320i with navigation, M sport wheel and suspension, 6 speed manual, etc. Wouldn't dare pay 40K for it, but it's an awesome car once you start to take advantage of that German luxury car depreciation. Also, I know it's a point of many an internet argument, but I don't feel the Sensatec seats are a downgrade for leather. Sure, you don't get the smell or the "clout" that comes from them being "genuine leather." But you do get a set of seats that are very low maintenance, have better grip, and hard to distinguish from the real leather alternatives. I always see it as just another seating options like cloth or alcantara instead of trying to compare it to whether or not it's leather.

[@nikhilkalra1530]

The best thing I discovered on BMW CDN website- you could lease their pre-owned cars with CPO which extends your basic 4/80k warranty to 6/160K! for a person like me who doesn't want the same car more than 3 years why paying for the full amount when we could lease a used pre-owned with all the bells and whistles vs leasing the new base model!

[@PRNTestDrive]

That's the best way to do it!

[@ColinFox]

Tesla model 3 is going to eat BMW alive, if this is their competition :)

[@PRNTestDrive]

We'll definitely see what happens when they start delivering them to customers.

[@1988josip]

Tesla is electric what are talkong about...even worst model that is electric can eat any petrol diesel car in terms of speeding up to 60 70 miles
