BMW 330i 2021 - 3 Series - You Get a lot for a Base Model

This is a review of the BMW 330i 2021 series in Jet Black, black interior. Minimal options to show a base 330i and all the standard features even if you don't want to spend too much.
Note: I posted the trunk space as 13.2 cubic feet (375 liters), this would be the hybrid version. This non-hybrid version is 17 cubic feet (481 liters). Thankful to the viewer who pointed it out.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING THE BASE MODEL🙏

[@fahmidamaroya5714]

Thanks for reviewing the base model. I was confused about x3 or series 3. But now I make up my mind… Thanks again.

[@LA-db9xj]

Nice video. Going to my local dealership on this Saturday to select a base model 2021 330i base model for my next vehicle. As your video shows the base model is very-well equipped. Beyond color of both the interior and exterior, I'm only after one thing. I would like to have 19" wheels as I think they really dress the vehicle up. I've owned previous 3 series models in years past. It's always been a very nice vehicle. But this model REALLY impresses me. Thanks for the video!

Yeah a really great car.

[@zj100]

Great video. I love this car! Does the base model come with Harman Kardon sound system?

[@CristianMendoza1]

@@zj100 The base model comes withi a Hifi Sound system with 205-watt digital amplifier and 10 speakers. The Harmon Kardon surround system isn't standard of an option on the 330i. You'll need to get at least a M340i to be able to purchase the option for $875.

[@zj100]

@@CristianMendoza1 thank you Cristian!! My current car is a 2013 Civic lx. I think the Hifi standard Sound system would do just fine 😂

[@kenand10]

Camera is not standard in europe. I tryted base model 2 weeks ago. No camera , regular seats. It was 2020 model. Other then that. I must say wow. What a car. Refined and punchy. When u do kickdown is like 😮 Definitely looking for performance package and buying this monster.

[@SoLA489]

After having two different Audis within two years I decided to switch it up and go to bmw. I really liked the technology on the bmw and liked how peppy it was compared to my a4s. But the only thing I don’t like are how different it is when braking.. and cuz I’m over 6ft the side panel on the right interferes with the bones on my knee :/

[@tuerty]

I'm 6"7 and I don't have that problem, you probably need to verify your setup.

[@robsnow2099]

That black grill sets it off, that’s car is beautiful. I have the P-Blue M sport, and need that grill lol.

[@StealthAZ]

That’s the color I have ! 2021 just got it end of August. How do you like it ?

[@robsnow2099]

@@StealthAZ love it ...and just got the grill put on. I've had one technical issue but the car is all tech and fully under warranty so it's fine. I have the M sport suspension that I was nervous about but I like it, yes you will feel a pot hole more than you would a non m suspension but it's absolutely fine, especially if your city streets are mostly taken care of. How do you like yours?

[@StealthAZ]

@@robsnow2099 I had a 2022 on order but found the 2021 new with 8/10 items I wanted so I picked it up. It didn’t have the wireless charging only afc for my phone to used as my key and it didn’t have the stock M calipers - I have the 19 inch wheels but the m calipers wouldn’t fit them but everything else is Dynamic handing package-Adaptive M suspension. I’m still learning all there is to know about the i7 technology bmw genius. But I like it it has the HUD in the windshield and live pro cockpit in the dash I paid $2k to have the front hood and grill clear coat pff put on and paid $3,500 for the 5 year/75k mile maintenance warranty

[@StealthAZ]

@@robsnow2099 I just tried the launch mode for the first time - hold break and gas at the same time then punch it 👀

[@robsnow2099]

[@bvedant]

Good stuff bro, did you consider adding the M-Sport Package when you were buying and if so what turned you away?

[@CristianMendoza1]

No, I was looking for a base spec without too many upgrades. But the M-Sport package would be something I recommend for the better styling and the 19 inch rims.

[@K917L]

Thank you so much!!!

[@CristianMendoza1]

No problem. Hope the video helped on your next car purchase 🙂

[@yahigelharrison7870]

Nice review and do the m440i 2022...

[@CristianMendoza1]

Thanks! I've gotten a couple requests for this model. I'll work on getting one to review.

[@PJAvenger]

"It's more than enough power for getting around town". I LMAFO. I have a 105hp Toyota Yaris. It keeps up with all traffic, every time from stoplight to stoplight. I also have a 330e.I don't use it in the city red light useless races

[@MisoElEven]

lul until recently I drove around in a 45kW Škoda Fabia :D that was plenty was to get into trouble, I wonder what these guys think buying m340i or cars with even more power...youre going to use what, the first 3-4 gears in an 8 speed transmission? :DD I dont know, to me it just screams *BORING*..unless youre tracking it every weekend, but still even for that its better to have a secondary "race" car.

[@diegopina9178]

Does the interior color change light all around is that a feature tht comes in all the 330i ???

[@tosomt5419]

yes, I have it...it's cool at night

[@adriankatava6662]

I think you have the liters of the trunk wrong. Not a big deal tho, but its supposed to be 480L unless it is the hybrid version.

[@CristianMendoza1]

Yup I made a mistake there. I normally grab my specs directly from the manufacturers website but I wasn't able to find the trunk space. I ended up googling it and thought google would be fine. 😅

[@omarramirez6984]

Why is the gage cluster different isn't it supposed to be how the m cars look like

[@CristianMendoza1]

M cars normally have more modes so they tend to have different dash displays on their more sporty modes. But likely the same screen.

[@a.s4622]

Is there any digital reading on the windscreen like M5?

[@CristianMendoza1]

Its not standard, but you can add it with the Premium option for $2,250. Comes with heated front seats, gesture control, heads up display, lumbar support, heated steering wheel, and keyless entry.

[@a.s4622]

@@CristianMendoza1 I already got my car😭 Is it still possible to add up?

[@blippie]

Actually it's not a base model, at least not in Europe. There we have the 318i (156hp) and the 320i (184 hp). Actually i find it rediculous that the 330i (considering the rather sluggish traffic on the highways) is the base model in the US for the 320i would offer plenty enough for that and would save a few grand as well.

[@amt407_]

Anyone looking at a bmw here in the states doesnt mind spending a few extra plus with how much driving folks do here u would get piss poor mpg with 184hp. Only compact cars like the civic and corolla make that type of power in the US

[@blippie]

@@amt407_ Funny...184hp ain't poor power. In Germany we have no speed limits and even there the 320i is better sold. A bmw 3 series has not much more "status" here than a nice honda civic, only the high end models, just as doing a 150miles an hour is quite common here on the autobahn. Can't say that indeed in the US. But the price tag of a 320i is in some European countries even higher than a 340i xdrive in the US, not to mention the skyhigh prices we have to pay here for gasoline....

[@donaldduck2801]

Right here in the Netherlands 184 bhp is not poor. I believe in the us they dont have the touring , witch is in my opinion more nice.

[@oscar7476]

320i the base model. Does it not exist in America?

[@ayoogbeide6637]

No in America

[@backtoshallabal6662]

is this quicker than a Type R?

[@CristianMendoza1]

The 330i is about 5.6 seconds and the Type R is about 4.9-5.3 seconds. So the Type R would take the win.

[@eagleeye8916]

with a jb4 tune you should be the same or faster then a type R

[@bvedant]

@@CristianMendoza1 Type R may take the win in a straight but there's no replacement for that balance of comfort and performance you get with the 3 Series and not to mention rear-wheel drive 🔥. The 3 Series is arguably the better daily!

[@siddharthr1853]

Planning to buy this in India here and the MSRP here 75K USD and after taxes it's almost 90K USD!! 😭

[@CristianMendoza1]

Yeah all the car related taxes I hear many countries have makes some options less viable unfortunately.

[@bvedant]

I thought they assemble the cars locally over in India to keep costs down. Is this the pricing over there despite local / Indian assembly?

[@arjunbhargava077]

@@bvedant yes bmw 3 series costs about 75 to 85,000 dollars in india even though it is fully assembled in india locally and this is just the ex showroom price and after taxes its about 82,000 usd for base and for top its 96 to 97,000 usd

Thanks. Not really 0-60 5.6 seconds. More like 5.4 seconds - per Car and Driver.
