I have a RWD M340i and I test drove the 330i as well. I love the 330i, still plenty of pull and a very fun car to drive. The one place the M340i beats the 330i for me is the top end, the 330i sort of dies out while the M340i just keeps pulling.

[@ERTZZTRE]

I have driven my G20 330i for over 2 years and 55000 km now. I have the same opinion, that this car is the perfect compromise. The engine is so responsive - even at 1500 rpm - smooth and perfomant, although it keeps the low consumption of a 4-cylinderengine. I also think, that especially the noise insulation is great.

[@gabrielsticks2829]

What is your cons on highway and in city?

[@bvedant]

@@gabrielsticks2829I have one as well so I can answer with my perspective. The only fault I have with it on the highway is like many say at the top-end it could use more power and is why many just opt for an m340. I can really feel the engine working past 110mph. Though, you’re well past illegal speeds basically everywhere besides the autobahn at that point. Cabin noise insulation could also be better but this would be a 3-series wide complaint.

[@mattlau]

Just test drove the 330i and m340i back to back and I got to say the 330i is really good for $20,000 less than the m340i here in Canada. Yes, some will miss the straight-6, but if you're commuting to work and not taking it to the track, you'll be really happy with the 330i. This review is very accurate. Just a great 4 cylinder. Buy the 330i, use the $20,000 in savings and go on a nice vacation. Best of both worlds!

[@hasansayanvala5389]

I drove the 330i and the M340i on the same day on a route which had mix of city and motorway. You will notice that I have not compared the 320i here mainly because the 330i and M340i are the more sportier models. Anyway, back to the comparison. I found that for daily city and motorways, the M340i definitely felt a lot heavier lacking the nimbleness of the 330i. It felt so much heavier in the front then the 330i ,that it felt like it really needed that extra power to get going. The 330i on the other hand felt so right on the money. I don't know how to put it into words. Imagine a Mazda Miata fitted with 3.0 liter engine vs the standard configuration Miata. Now you get why the 330i "feels" so quick despite having less power. I've driven 3 series since the 1990s and this G20 330i is as good a driver as it gets

[@hasansayanvala5389]

I also drive a G20 330i. How does it compare to legendary 3-series generations like the E46 or even the E90? I wasn’t old enough to drive when those cars came out lol

[@gavinryan4166]

I own a very well specified 2019 330i MSport shadowline in Portimao blue. This was a downsize for me back into a 3 series (my 4th, after a very long gap - I had an E30 and two E36s, all new in their day, plus some time in a company owned E46). I considered a M340i and loved the engine sound and sheer grunt, but I agree with Max that the rear-drive 330i is much closer to the 3-series I remembered with playful handling and - for road use - plenty of power. More power than any 6 cylinder model of the old cars I owned. I miss the road feel from the hydraulic steering, and the massively fat rim of the wheel doesn’t help though I’m used to it now. I’m in Australia where speed limits are low and heavily policed, so a really powerful car is a waste unless you’re going to track it. A stock 330i is easily enough on our roads and amazingly economical on long runs - I easily get under 5L/100 km at our 110 km freeway limit. I think it’s the best all round sports sedan you can buy. I continue to be delighted with mine and don’t see anything else yet that might make me want to change.

The B48 engine is great. Even though it is only 4cyl, its twin turbo'd and if you have xDrive the driving experience is amazing. Stock the car already sounds great and is a bunch of fun. A tune will help make this car feel insanely different. Highly suggest doing some mods under the hood.

It's a twin power(AKA twin scroll) turbo, not twin turbo. It's just a marketing thing BMW pulls out. The only petrol twin turbo engines BMW has are in the M3/M4 etc etc. And in the diesels.

The best KZbin review of the G20 330i. Thank you. The truth here is that despite 2L engine, the car does not feel underpowered at all, and my baseline is the long ownership of the e92 335i with 3L. The gearbox on 300i is also sublime ensuring smooth power delivery through all phases of acceleration. Suspension and handling in general feels superior to e92. I find breaks fully adequate on 330i, BTW.

My M340i has power for days! Especially when you get it tuned, add a cold air intake, and get a better exhaust. I added Dinan: Tune, Sway Bars, Cold Air Intake, Lowering Springs, and Exhaust. Sounds amazing and turns heads everywhere. I drive my on the Autobahn everyday and my cars takes corners extremely well. I also paid $62,000 for my car and added $8,000 in parts so... definitely more expensive.

[@RGorissen]

I have owned my 330i G20 for over 4 years now. I think it’s a perfect compromise when the M340i is just outside your budget. Mine is fully equipped with M performance parts (bought and fitted at DeMaassche) and I fitted an Eisenmann exhaust in the first year of ownership. The exhaust sound produced by the eisenmann exhaust makes up for the lack of a 6 cilinder sound. It’s not the same, but far better than the standard exhaust note as produced by the B48. Mine also has the limited slip diff which is a must have for every sporty driver in my opinion.

Yes I do own a 330i, now done all I can to it and at the very limit of the stock turbo and sill screaming for more so no choice M340i coming in very soon. + They can sound so much better too, they are stunning cars and better inside than a F30, on the outside though F30 will still be one the best looking 3 series once they have the right bits and pieces on, correct stance etc.

[@dennisk415]

I own this car and have never gone that fast wow!!!!

[@jberry1979]

I think it's a sweetspot....bigger than an e39 5 series, better performance than a e36 m3...definitely at the top of my list for my next vehicle.

[@TundeEszlari]

Great video.

[@A73fn]

looking to buy this soon

[@DejvidR6]

been looking for one just like this but in white and i cant find any good ones.. loved BMW ever since i was little i finally decided to get this one now im to picky on what i want😅

[@johanwetterwik32]

Is not having an lsd on a xdrive 330i a dealbreaker?? Or could you still have fun in the bends with stock diff?

[@error_nr-1232]

In my opinion the 330i is a tough pick, since they ditched the inline-six. Since the biggest selling point is the nice handling, I would rather chose the Alfa Giulia instead.

[@error_nr-1232]

@lennartdaniels No it isn't.

[@xxzmk]

The Outro and especially in combination to the discount code made me laugh my ass off thanks.

[@flyingmanforfun]

Id rather get the 330d

[@inflatable2]

In the Netherlands I think the 330e is the sweetspot.. Because of the BPM tax system.. For € 4000 less you get 50 more HP than in the 330i.. Bit more weight obviously as well..

[@Brandon-kg3pl]

Not so sporty as a 330i and small fuel tank in the 330e

[@rustcohle9589]

​@@Brandon-kg3plnot so sporty in what way? The 330e is faster on a straight line but in corners I think the 330i is.

[@Brandon-kg3pl]

@@rustcohle9589 handling wise, steeringfeel in corners. And the 330i is even 0,1 second faster than a 330e.

[@Stougie88]

It's similar from 0-100 and the 330e is slower from 100-200. Max already tells that this 330i handles better than the M340i because this is lighter. The 330e is even 100kg more than the 340i Xdrive! Oh and the 330e is limited at 230kph.

[@Rick776]

Zo'n accu is ook meteen leeg en hij weegt veel meer.

[@dinosoarmotorsports]

I own a 230i M Sport and it is everything the M240i is without the power. Oh, and it handles a bit better without that weight up front. For the money, the B48 versions of the 2 and 3 Series are a better buy, hands down. I ain't knocking the B58 cars, they are the industries' best, and I may end up buying an M240, but only because I'm nostalgic for a 3 liter inline BMW 6 cylinder, not because it is better than a 230. And mine will be a RWD, no xDrive for me.

[@husseinafzal2335]

Did you have to code out the fog light after deleting it? I’ve ordered the parts to install but don’t really want to code anything as I’m still in warranty (used approved)

[@Etonnantnon]

hello and compare to a A 4 45 TFSI 252 or A 5 which car you prefer and why ?

[@husseinafzal2335]

What did he do with the fog light after the switch? I’ve bought the pet and getting it fitted tmro!!

[@kifir376]

330i nice car❤

[@R3wolucjonista]

its my "dream car" atm ofc i mean for my dayli car.

[@akisgarbis2862]

Which is better equipped ?? The M sport or the simple Luxury model ??

[@Gazcan]

When are you reviewing the new M2? Please?

[@tubejorrit]

Is the Mdiff retrofit-able? I thought it was mechanical and electronically.

[@mentox6592]

I believe you can. The electronic diff you’re talking about (eLSD) only works when you turn DSC off, it electronically applies the brake to the slipping wheel so the other one catches up. eLSD should not activate with a retrofit LSD because you wont be slipping just one tire.

[@Dwayne3007]

I was thinking of buying this (used) but the 2018 440i Grand Coupe stole my heart.

[@teeq985]

Still a lovely car the 440i GC, congrats. I got the 330i used last year, with the diff!

[@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

It will be interesting to how this compares to an Audi a4 45 tfsi

[@blackmagician0078]

330i destroys it with easee😅 dont ask me how i know

[@Clarity520]

Been driving my G20 for 6 months now. Beautiful car overall. Quite a sweet ride. However as I get better and better at driving I find the power not high enough anymore😂. Looking to upgrade to G80 next year

[@eDENTECHNOCYBERHUB]

YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 19/09/2023

[@chris.k1903]

I think you need the stage 1 tune

[@MrHarryFTW]

330d for me thanks

[@oversteer_9339]

More than enough power for me coz we aint got not autobahn here 😂

[@KATOSHKIKA]

but is the sound origianal or is it produced by something besides the enginge?

[@M.SEK.P]

Dreamcar

[@Dodanek1893]

I think sweet spot is whole G20 3series preLCI.

[@madpistol]

The fact that it's still performing at 92k km is pretty fantastic. That's a good sign for this generation BMWs.

[@andrewburkholder3842]

man... 92k km should be NOTHING for a modern car. Ive got 77k miles on my BMW and its doing ok but i've had to put way more work in than my lexus including gaskets that absolutely should not have failed by now. Performance efficiency between the two is night and day but its definitely going to be my last foray into BMWs after being a lifelong toyota product owner.

[@kimboslice069]

92k km is nothing wtf 192k would be normal..

[@Andreww16]

I've been debating which car to get as my next car between the G20 3 series 330i or 440i F32 (both with good specs are around the same price) i know it's not really a fair comparison 4cyl vs 6cyl, i even considered the m340i but it's a lot more expensive and i would have to wait probably another year or two to get one maybe they will do down in price a bit more. Anyone who drove the 440i F32and the 330i G20 i would like to know what you think

[@Brandon-kg3pl]

I had a F32 before and ofcourse the looks of the coupe are timeless. The interior of a F32 looks outdated in my opinion and I really like the 30i engine. More than fast enough :)

[@djent1448]

Personally i would go with the 440i, i would choose the bit more outdated in- and ex-terior with more power and more fun potential over the newer esthetics with a more boring drivetrain. I never drove the 440i of that generation but I really liked the m4 and can imagine the 440i (with tune) is similar. But its a personal thing I’d say testdrive both and see what you like.

[@feraslolz3629]

Bro plz get a b58 I really enjoy mine I got stage 2+ e50 500 whp

[@Rentzin]

i'm on the same boat and as much as i love the b58 youre better off with a g20 330i as itll hold value a little longer. Plus you get better looks and daily driving comforts. I'm thinking I'm better off keeping a b48 g20 for a couple years and then add some money on top for a b58 supra, literally best of both worlds.

[@Andreww16]

@@Rentzin you are right b58 is a great engine, same with the supra nice looks and great power

[@samuelrodriguez6684]

Something makes me want to see a comparison between this car and a Mazda 3 with the 2.5T engine
