Incase people didn't notice, BMW India silently deleted many features from the previous 330Li M-sport(surround cames, HUD, etc), citing chip shortages. Whereas these chip shortages don't exist for any other country according to BMW. Instead of adding features(like keyless entry, lumbar support, adaptive LEDs, Adaptive Suspension, etc) they chose to delete. But hey, it's BMW and Indian luxury car owners don't care for features. Had it been any other country, the people would have made BMW(or any other OEM) lead a miserable life.

[@anishmalwatkar5193]

Those features have been shelved for the upcoming 5 LWB. Otherwise there won't be any motivation for customers to upgrade to the 5.

[@eldiabloindahouse]

That's an astute observation! Even when they are priced double than their European counterparts, we still get half the features. Which is frankly absurd and also a little elitist on their part I feel

[@abhinavgupta4428]

I expected it to have 360° cam, rear sunblinds and adas. C'mon these are available now in cars a third of this price

[@cockballtorture7531]

The 20d Engine is insane. Found out yesterday that its extremely easy to drift in my f10 520d.

[@heIIboy666]

Wireless carplay and voice-controls are great. But, BMW India still refuses to give us adaptive cruise control, autonomous breaking, ventilated seats with front massage, lane departure assist, and the ground clearance is terrible.

[@shivvashishthabhargava4600]

No other country gets such treatment and BMW is exploiting/ripping off the simple Indian customer who is willing to pay. The last 330Li had a lot of features that this car supposedly doesn't have? No additions whatsoever. BMW probably thinks Indian customers just go ga-ga over the badge. Seriously disappointed in BMW. 👎

[@Forevercineasta]

I got the regular wheelbase 330i, picked up the last piece available in the my state.

[@cena_g2704]

Hi, is there a new 330 Li m sport pro that launched last month? How's the car? Are there any changes from the previous m sport model?

[@vikramnayyar]

I just bought the older model of the 330Li two months ago. I feel as if I was duped since BMW did not inform me about a new model coming out. Customers should be informed about upcoming models especially when they are making a purchase. At least luxury car manufacturers should not hide this information from customers and sell their last few pcs of the older model.

[@ganeshk9635]

Where is the place that you are driving ?

[@pritamkanire585]

Same Info tenement screen are available in X3? I love Bmw X3, X4, X5 #Bmw❤️

[@aayushbajoria]

Not only did BMW deal away with a lot of features in this car, the engine is also down on power. The old regular 330i Msport had near 250 BHP for 10-15 lakh cheaper than this. Absolute waste of money for 10 mm of extra leg room

[@Sidharth_k]

Finally a sooperb looking bmw 🥵🥵

[@NM-gc7vc]

No rear curtains for a chauffeur driven car

[@saratchandrarath7675]

What is the price?

[@bhawal_07]

No company can match the luxury interior of Mercedes.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

BMW should launch the standard wheelbase variant of the 3-Series in top-of-the-line trim . . . 325i 330i M-Sport & M3 . . . it should feature adaptive air suspension, active dampers, Nappa leather upholstery, keyless entry & luxury package . . .

[@Ashmit566]

Just need this for drifting

[@BELIEVEhasNOPLACE-WhreTRUTHis]

Greatly presented Renuka. 👏🏻💐

[@hariharan-fu3rj]

1st view 1st like always bmw

[@rajatgulghane1530]

My Dream Car♥

[@satyamevjayte2443]

This Diesel Engine is a Rocker Machine

[@RK-tv1zo]

Any car without reclining seats is not a luxury car in my opinion

[@doctor.arjun.drives]

Not a fan of this single screen look. Dual screen setup looks better.

[@binoyadhikary9376]

Serious what' a car😎

[@kushsaraogi]

Finally, After Much Chagrin & Noted Customer Feedback, BMW has Added a MSPORT Variant for the 320 LD .. Now, Its Time to Book One .. 320 LD MSPORT.. ♥️

[@AnweshAdhikari]

❤

[@sohamsharma693]

Mention price

[@satyamevjayte2443]

Larger Touch Screens are Useless.....7 or 8 inch screens are perfectly enough, and tac tile buttons and richer interiors will be back again in future

[@shwethagowda3907]

Rocking Road presents

[@manik1580]

I drove the petrol 3 series, the interior is luxury. But when i drove in D and sport mode, i did not feel much excited. The reason is the vehicle i own. After that test drive in Kun motors in the coimbatore highway, i then took my Troc for a spin. In sport mode i was really able to enjoy a quick 116 KMPH in S3 !!. That looked pretty cool. I m happy with Troc.

[@BINGOBOB20]

Damn

[@siddhantshah4652]

I see a lot of comments on the reduction of bells and whistles in the car. And while that is extremely disappointing, the car delivers on what it needs to; a comfortable ride with best-in class leg space handling.

[@kappy4873]

🤙

[@techwithnaga]

Love you Renuka

[@shyamraj8291]

Interiors doesn't look like BMW

[@deeppc]

1st :)

[@pranay220]

I find BMWs boring nowadays.. because of overexposure may be. They all look like last year's models. Changes are incremental and I don't dream of owning one anymore... a good EV is far more interesting to know about

[@ps3301]

Car has become a PC.
