[@Riconeeeeeeect]

I could listen to Thomas reviewing a lawn mower, without even video skipping.

[@autogefuehl]

good idea :>

[@vanishingpoint5673]

ricardo - agree.

[@michall1727]

I think this engine in facelift version is 252bhp, not 245bhp as mentioned in the beginning

[@conspiracykill]

Yup

[@emreblue3853]

and number one presenter Thomas :D all the love

[@christopherdandeker6122]

One of the best channels. No nonsense, informative, classy

[@autogefuehl]

thanks, stay tuned!

[@duvels86]

That plug to your review after you saw that crashed X3 is hilarious!

[@JamesMilliganJr]

I think that the more Germanic the vehicle, the more Germanic is your accent!

[@SkywalkerPaul]

Lol

[@dwergmaster]

All Germans have quite an accent I've noticed after living there since a few months. In comparison to the average, I'd consider Thomas a native English speaker :-)

[@tincars740]

Well I don't know where you have lived before but that guy for sure is not a native speaker. He's fluent but the accent is just very german!

[@lamaludwig1470]

I agree (as a German) but since most of the English Native Speakers are too lazy to learn foreign languages we have to speak our "Denglisch".

[@thisislife9911]

yeah, sometimes it sound just like german^^, but it has some charme.

[@hyypersonic]

That color with those wheels looks amazing. BMW really knows how to make a great looking car

[@poda7273]

my favorite reviewer and one of my favorite cars!

[@autogefuehl]

way to go !

[@conspiracykill]

I have a 2016 (with bright rims) so I'm bias but I truley think this is the most beautiful looking 3 series since the e30

[@BomJai]

Always a joy watching your reviews, Thomas. You and the team are pure quality

[@autogefuehl]

always appreciated!

[@energymc22]

24:08 - you can also hold down the left paddle and it will automatically kick down to the lowest possible gear. Good for preparing to overtake

[@edinayee]

although this model (f30) is outdated but I think it's still a good looking car compared to its rivals, kinda like the sporty look of this 3 series

[@g0r76mh1]

i own one (RWD 2017 330i), i get remarks about the M Sport bumper all the time! Its very beautiful.

[@senadselimovic8649]

Weak points 1. The bad thing is that the wind noise sounds more than normal. 2. When u have down ur windows and then trying to close the door, the sound is very bad. 3. When your opening the trunk it doesnt show you on the dash that the trunk is open and it doesnt even warn you when your driving it, it only shows you the trunk when your opening the front door, its really crazy how is that normal?

[@guyronkar1160]

"They probably need a new X3 now" Yes I laughed :-D

[@michaeljones5986]

I definitely like the bright wheels as well Thomas. Love the standard 3-series profile. The perfect sedan if you ask me.

[@maxaffe3195]

i mean many ppl mock about his accent but considering how other germans speak he speaks really good

[@autogefuehl]

jawohl!

[@ahmadal-abbas534]

long time no see Thomas.. you are the best presenter

[@bvedant]

Wish the US 3 Series M-Sports came with those suede designs. I think the Rossyln factory builds are like this

[@lmw1996]

To me, the way it drives and handle is the number one criteria for buying a new car. Although BMW seems to take a step back in that regard, I still think they are ahead of the major competitions in terms of driving dynamic.

[@pol1250]

Wow ....wasn't aware how old they look !! Who would buy this over an out comming model 3?

[@autogefuehl]

well they dont offer any full electric yet

[@polymonk]

Any chance of a 4 series GC review?

[@killingtime8612]

I love your reviews 🙂

[@sechszylinder8055]

The rear design reminds me the 3 series e46, and it's a good point.

[@lastminutesolutions]

I wish they'd get the numbering to match the displacement again.. something like a 320t would be more accurate than 330i

[@davharuk]

Thanks for a great review Thomas. Beauty is subjective and it is always a personal preference, I think the 3 series is one of the most attractive shapes of saloon/sedan cars. Particularly in M-Sport trim. BMW gets the styling most times. I would be interested to see a mini review of the F31 differences to the F30. They are so similar that it probably doesn't need a full review. The higher level of road noise, could be due to the run-flat tyres as they are a bit noisier in my experience.

[@autogefuehl]

+David Hart 👍

[@arlind530d]

This car is close to perfection

[@autogefuehl]

Also compare our review of the all new generation

[@arlind530d]

Autogefühl i just watched it, i like it but i still prefer the f30 design i guess the new 3 series design has still to grow on us :) great channel btw!

[@cheapsk8]

Wow, such a comprehensive review! Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@autogefuehl]

thanks keep joining us!

[@Wicked_RotF30]

The best looking 3 series ever.

[@sgirwan]

Never black rims, just classic alloy!

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

Thanks for this review

[@autogefuehl]

appreciated!

[@shamsiqadirli]

You are the only one that I watch your all videos! Good work King Autogefühl!

[@autogefuehl]

+Shamsi Qadirli 👍👍👍

[@FiredEmpire]

The modern 3 series is truly remarkable but I'd rather pay a little more and have the 4 series gran coupe which is even sharper looking, more athletic and as practical. And most importantly it's not remotely as commonplace.

[@klausm5460]

The 4-series GC is a brilliant blend of style and practicality, I´m still going for a 3-series though, the 330e is only available in that bodystyle.

[@yourcrapp]

you could get a touring?

[@SuperAless112]

I am really in Love with BMW. We got the 328i, its so much fun it has great performance and a superb milelage one the highway buuuuut I have tried recently the new A4 and its impressive how super quite it is while driving even at higher speeds and that is something i would love for my BMW too.

[@DerHalbeEuro]

For me it doesn't make any sense to pay 4 - 5k € more just for a slightly more "sporty" design with still the same engine and technology under the hood. New or used. Instead you should better invest the money in a slightly better car or extras...

[@sal6419]

DerHalbeEuro But it is a better car lol

[@MrRockrazer]

The quality is wonderful on this video, and as always Thomas is wonderful. Also I'm a fan of the black wheels, they really match better with more colors in my opinion and I'm a fan of the aggressive look.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks so much !

[@IAmShaunMichael]

German guys always top level lol.

[@banipanet]

252 not 245 ... 245 was the old N20 engine, this is the new B48

[@OlwethuDube]

This car is still classic ❤

[@antoniosilva2145]

can u review the m240i or m140i??? love the channel!

[@liqhtx3]

especially the 140i.

[@autogefuehl]

Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2SymaStfZ50jKM

[@liqhtx3]

Sooner or later you need to make a review of the 140i!!!

[@robz1471]

I love the way you say horse power. 👍

[@darexdarex]

That's the Qi charger in the arm rest. Not sure what BMW was thinking. Larger phones will not fit. They should have just had a "mat," like everyone else uses for their Qi charging solution.

[@MegaGecas]

Thanks, Thomas for this review. If you remember I was the one who asked you for this. This is a perfect car.

[@autogefuehl]

+Vytautas Gečas 😎

[@MegaGecas]

and that joke about X3 was perfect. Keep on doing this :D

[@danmurphy1994]

This is an excellent value Compact/midsize sport luxury sedan and spec. I think it strikes a great balance of cost, sportiness and practicality.

[@TS-gg9dk]

Must say I'm very disappointed to see naked metal in the boot space inside above. Looks very cheap and more noise will come in from the rear.

[@Fiwek23452]

e46 coupe 3 series/m3 is the best looking bmw ever made

[@jaime5711]

Okay

[@SDav21]

Black rims look like a spare wheel. Normal rims are the best.

[@denny9278]

Totally agree

[@idokwatcher2062]

I find they visually shrink the wheels, for example if 18 is largest you can run on your car no point in upgrading from 17 silver to 18 black, it will look the same and you are just adding weight.

[@rodrigorivera1479]

Yeah , silver original wheels m sport wheels are the best.

[@Rjl41]

Nothing compares to BMW!! Deutche Qualität!

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

My friends think it's strange that I like to binge watch Autogefühl videos about cars I'll never own. 🙃

[@autogefuehl]

sounds great!

[@BJN87M]

same here, i watch them even tho i have 2k euro car :D And probably won't buy anything close to this in a near future.

[@Sheetoable]

Bester Kanal Love your Review

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@oneillmurray7938]

thank you for this video, im going to a dealership to check out one of these tomorrow used with only 7k km, wish me luck hopefully i can come to good terms on it

[@autogefuehl]

Good luck!

[@bwmim9709]

Did I buy it

[@GinsengStrip-wt8bl]

Both interior and exterior look like it's modern E46. Especially the shape of it looking at its side

[@petitflocon647]

3 series is a good car but like C class, Xe , IS300h, it is really not good for families. Rear places are really not confartable. It is too small.

[@axelloder]

Haha @ 24:15 when you saw a crashed X3 and used it to spruik your latest X3 review... smooth!

[@zilexe]

i wanna review thomas' exterior ,interior and of course his german performance in full hd full length. LET'S GO

[@robertoandrada]

Gay?

[@justinling2204]

Great review, love Autogefühl!!

[@autogefuehl]

😊

[@PrimorisOrdo]

Hey Thomas. That is real aluminium. I have the exact spec 3 series and on cold days, you can feel how cold and metallic those can get. Still, great review.

[@autogefuehl]

+He-Man yeah felt that too now!

[@burimkryeziu8167]

Love bmw😍❤🔒

[@manjbains1977]

Nice car and great review Thomas. Doing so many videos now, have to take out extra time to watch them all. 👍

[@autogefuehl]

+Manj Bains enjoy 😊

[@aleksanderszymanowski6631]

A review of the 330e would be great considering the rapidly increasing taxation on pure combustion engines in the EU.

[@MrDarrenNice]

Purely from an aesthetic point of view, it's like I'm watching a review of a car in the 90's. I can't believe people are still demanding cars like this? To me it looks so outdated. I do like the outside and the engineering is lovely. It's just the interior. Come on BMW?

[@segyeullee6623]

I love how BMW is conservative! Great video

[@autogefuehl]

+Karl lee 👌

[@danmurphy1994]

Depends on exterior color, with white/silver colors I'd go with dark matte rims, same goes for some greys, other colors: Blue, green, black, even, would get glossy or brushed wheels for me.

[@hansyali_]

Fantastic review good sir

[@autogefuehl]

🙏🙏

[@Alexander-oz9rz]

Bmw shpuld update the 3 series because the dash looks a little bit dated, but still nice car!

[@steveokinevo887]

The all new 3 series is coming out end 2018

[@alastairdand]

Hello Thomas, Thanks for yet another complete and objective review. It's interesting to note that BMW offers lower power models in the domestic market, whereas the "3er" starts at a more premium level here in France (perhaps also in other markets). I agree with the idea that people would intrinsically trust the 3-series because it not only delivers on a reliable car promise but also offers good resale value. It's also a fun car to drive when you're out on your own. it would be interesting to compare today's 330 or 340i to a 5 series (528 - 545) back in the 80's ...

[@autogefuehl]

merci!

[@alastairdand]

Just checked, the 5er E12 from the late seventies was just 1 cm shorter than today's 3er and about 12 cm narrower ! I suppose a similar story could be told about the Golf and others. But it's interesting to see how important proportions are in modern car design;

[@lesbray3504]

The interesting thing with those dark wheels is that they have normal tyres, not runflats. I toyed between those ang the ferric grey wheels. Ideally would have ferric grey 18s but without runflats. Chose the ferric grey with runflats they are good but wondering for would be even more quiet and have even more grip with normal non runflats. I have 2016 330i m sport saloon bought new now on 18000 miles and very happy with it. I would buy same again. It is more comfortable better looking car with a moore exciting drive than its competitors. Your review I think is accurate and consistent with how I feel about the car.

[@autogefuehl]

+Les Bray thx for the feedback!

[@brenthobby3282]

Can't wait for the M4 review

[@lancerevo1983]

Great reviews as always! I'm planning to buy a 3 series and it is very useful.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks spread the word for us! =)

[@sleepygamer5590]

Thanks for this review. Please do more 3 series in future, as we need your expert opinions compared to the higher series. I prefer silver alloy wheels, always. Makes the car stand out more, especially when they have been cleaned properly & gives a bright effect. The front interior I am disappointed, this is where in my opinion VW group cars are ahead. Even KIA interiors look very nice too. Hopefully BMW will surprise us in the next generation with a new look. Cheers.

[@autogefuehl]

cheers!

[@fabiusmaximuscunctator7390]

Ich habe über das Späßchen gelacht :D Ich finde, dass 320d/i vollkommen ausreichen in jeder Lage, mehr ist eigentlich unnötig.

[@AlvaroGuindaRivero]

always bright rims and blue Thomas

[@autogefuehl]

+Alvaro Guinda 😎

[@im8980]

A little bit of wind noise I have noted when you were driving on the motorway.

[@RobbieKiama]

Thank you Thomas, great review. I am actually thinking of Alpina D3, instead of BMW, but I am a bit concerned about noise inside the cabin at a bit higher speeds (I am driving F10 at the moment which is incredibly silent). Would you be willing to do a D3 review?

[@autogefuehl]

+Roberto Vis thanks! Alpina wont supply cars

[@tupaei01]

Thanks Thomas! One of my all time favorite car the 3 series. I've owned E36 and E46 generations. Loved them. I don't believe that they will cancel the L-shape rear light unit because it's traditional since E32 7 series.

[@autogefuehl]

+tupaei01 👍👍

[@lesbray3504]

Question 1 black wheel silver wheel? Black wheels in this instance as speccing them is the only way to get non run flat tyres from the factory. I didn’t spec those on my 330i msport. I have changed tyres to non run flat Yokohama summer tyres and can testify the car is greatly improved as a result. Less tyre roar being transferred to the interior even better comfort and better grip characteristics. Question 2 Should the disc player be dropped. No the disc player provides. The very best sound quality. I think the spec for best handling would be to go for lowest weight. So 4 cylinder 330i with the sweet manual box and adaptive m sport suspension. That combination specially with decent non run flat tyres provides supreme comfort great handling with very precise steering. The ride is way more compliant (better at smoothing out bumps) than with even the Basic non s line etc version of the latest A4. I tested both these cars and others. I have now completed over 20 000 Miles on my 330i saloon specced as suggested above. Very happy with it but fuel consumption is not as good as expected. I average 29mpg over all those miles. Drove an auto 330d msport auto without adaptive for a few days. Very nice and addictive torquey Diesel engine. It even sounds good from inside the car. Ace auto box though I like manual too. Not sure I would want to pay extra for it but would take it if no option as in 340i etc. Not quite as responsive steering. The ride not quite as alive or as plush. Still good though. MPG was 35 mpg

[@autogefuehl]

Interesting report!

[@user-hj2se6qr6f]

I think bright rims show show the shape better! And i hate the looking of this m package front bumper, which looks too simple and old

[@keltonreyneke8948]

Black Rims look good on a silver or white car!

[@ArchieMakuwa]

Is that your personal car Thomas? Very neat car... Love the cloth / alcantara seats 😍😍

[@autogefuehl]

+Archie Makuwa test vehicle. Yeah awesome!

[@scottthompson7009]

Great review again Thomas, I am so happy to see a BMW with fabric seats! I think this is the first BMW I have ever seen that doesn’t have animal skin, it is a shame that in Australia it is extremely difficult to buy a European vehicle without leather especially if you purchase any interior upgrades or go for the better engine :-( +autogefühl

[@autogefuehl]

+Scott Thompson 👌👌

[@MSkallywagg]

I've got a similar raised cover/pattern on my DS3 sport and unless you are wearing something thick it digs into your back after a while

[@123rkss]

hope to see you in 4k soon

[@AbdulGhani-ld9np]

Good work.. Appreciate!

[@autogefuehl]

👌

[@e.simons6964]

Bright rims Thomas! I'm not a fan of the dark rear roll pan look, a more elegant body-color is required for a car of this price range! The "ideal" 3 series to me is the 340 X-drive! Poor fella with the wrecked X3! Sad...Funny! But sad... ;-) I sure wished that BMW would return the 335 diesel (3 liter diesel) here to the states! I'd buy it today if BMW sold the "new" 335 X-drive diesel today!

[@autogefuehl]

bright is way to go =)

[@ATBullitt]

Nice review! But the facelift 330i should have 252 hp. The pre facelift 328i had 245 hp. I like this car. Although the 3 series almost got too big for my taste. I hope I will find a used f30 330i next year to replace my e90 320d.

[@autogefuehl]

+Bullitt every single vehicle you can buy has a different hp figure because they cannot exactly have the same hp production wise so it doesn't really matter. You can do some tests on power and can see that the results vary more than the customers expect up and down

[@kungula]

thank you Thomas, the 330 i is surely an interesting engine if the 340 i is unreachable. The question I ask myself though, isn´t it better to go for the X drive for safety reasons. What is your opinion about this ?

[@autogefuehl]

depends on where u live actually. Where I live it doesnt really matter as we dont have something like a true winter. Nothing like a true summer either, sadly ;)

[@kungula]

in Luxemburg ist es im Winter fast immer glattt da die Temperatur oft um die 0 Grad schwankt und in den anderen Jahreszeiten regnet es oft. Deswegen denke ich ist der X-drive doch ein Vorteil .

[@KarelKannel]

I live in Estonia, so we have snowy winters. I have rear wheel drive 320i. Most important- have good winter tyres! I got studded Nokians. Not any problems, though car behaves differently from my previous ones. BMW's stability control is silk smooth. Maybe in central Europe where studded tires are banned I would go for xdrive, but four wheel drive mostly helps when starting from standstill and when thick snow on roads. On cornering and braking all cars are equal- they have four wheels- so it's mostly about the tyre grip and there studded tire is better. My other car is AWD Volvo XC60, before that were AWD Subaru Outback and then Saab 9-5 FWD and wife has FWD Mazda 3. Just my personal experience and opinion - others may have different experiences.

[@SuperAless112]

Romain Meyer i have got the 328i without X Drive, 2013, when its wet or snowy in winter you have to be gentle on the gas, I would say over 230hp XDrive would be a safer choice if you have a lot of snowy or wet conditions. My next one will feature xDrive. Buy the way i am living in Germany. You feel that its slippery without the XDrive, Even if you are gentle on the Gas the traction control is working hard in Winter conditions when its Snowy. In Summertimes the rear wheeldrive will be fine but for autmn and Winter the Xdrive is a better choice. Trust me, you will feel a lot more confident driving the 330i with xDrive in Bad wheater.

[@tokyoluGS]

Great review, as usual, been waiting for this from you guys for ages. Thank you, Thomas!! One question though, are you guys planning to do a review of BMW 4 gran coupe and may be compare it Audi A5 sportback. Thanks..

[@autogefuehl]

thanks m8! We do have 4-Series Convertible and several A5 reviews so far

[@christill]

Normally light rims for me, although black rims on a white car could be cool. Really interesting to learn about comfort in different sized cars. I’ve only ever driven B segment cars so far. It would be good to see more comparisons and discussions like that.

[@user-gi4uz5rc6u]

we wait for you to test the new type r!thanks

[@CT37BN]

Can you do a short feature history behind the Opel brand and gather up some memorabilia/famous Opel cars from the past Thomas? Also some explanation as to the acquisition by PSA. Thanks.

[@kevinn1158]

I think the 4 series gran coupe is much better looking. Or just buy an Audi A5 sportback... Thanks for the review Thomas!

[@autogefuehl]

+kevin n thx kev!

[@thomass3769]

I have the same car but I don’t have the digital display , wish we could get it

[@knowledgeishere5072]

Could you please do a review of the BMW 3 series GT. I would like to get your perspective on this vehicle.

[@daveuk9669]

hi thomas great review as always . glad i decided to get a volvo s60 r design nw . much mre stylish . thanx

[@autogefuehl]

thanks dave!

[@ItisBean]

Those wheels look small, they don’t look like 18 inch at all, maybe it’s a perception caused by the back rims?

[@inflatable2]

I don't understand why they did not call this model the 328i.. 30i should have be reserved for the 6-cylinders in my opinion.. But I guess that's downsizing for you..

[@Stiffler2k4]

Cooles Video und dazu noch in meiner Nachbarschaft gedreht :-)

[@autogefuehl]

😎

[@Dr.Ijaz_ab]

bright multi spoke alloys for me

[@Ahmed_Mohammed692]

I am looking like this model for sale very perfect 330i B48 engine

[@fdmc2278]

Thomas great review as always, it I old but always watchable.How tall are you in c please? I have driven 5 series f10 an now I’m thinking about 330i or 430i. I’m 190cm. What would you recommend since you have driven all of them? I believe 4 is a bit nicer? Please let me know and thank you in advance for advice.

[@autogefuehl]

5Series for that size or X3 or X1 😎

[@letlotlomotebang1182]

I’m not sure if I should get this vehicle or not hey…

[@Justigad0r]

Very Nice review!, i hope you can review the new bmw 6 gran turismo soon!

thanks ! we ll do
