Matt, Long-time fan and you absolutely nailed-it on this one!!! I'm now in my mid-70s, and the horrid roads here in Los Angeles drove me (pun intended) to trade my 2020 Mustang Ecoboost for a Certified Pre-Owned 2020 BMW 330i with 23,000 miles. Dealer price was $28,600 and the car was immaculate. First impressions were word-for-word how you described the car - smooth, quiet, comfortable, yet responsive and fun to drive. I spent 20 minutes dealing with all the settings, 'tuning' the car to my needs and turning-off all the infernal 'safety' features that kept wrestling the steering wheel out of my hands. Now I truly love driving this car, and the mileage has been most impressive. Thanks for a fabulous and highly accurate review!

BMW really upped their game in 2012 with the F30 generation 3 Series. I had one for 7 years and only had one issue with it -- a rock broke out the lower radiator on the freeway. It was more reliable than probably any other car I've ever owned, including brand new Honda, Hyundai, Ford, a Mazda. Just stay away from the n20 4cyl due to timing chain issues, until model year 2016, when they fixed everything.

My wife's last car was a 2021 330i with M Sport. I miss that car; it was fun to drive and got super good fuel economy. We averaged about 32 MPG combined - yes, combined - over the two years we owned it. Add in that it handled great, had a good infotainment system, had comfortable seats, and looked great with M Sport, it was a very impressive car. It was somewhat firm-riding, however, but not bad enough to be a deal-breaker. I think the adaptive dampers would have made it ride better.

I think depreciation isn't bad at all on these cars. A 2020 non-MSport car with the options this one had probably would have cost a buyer low 40k range out the door when it was released 5 years ago, nobody was paying MSRP. If they are still going for nearly 30k that means it retained close to 3/4ths of its value 5 years later. Maybe that's more of a statement about inflation's impact on the used car market?

We actually bought an A4 over a 430i because the BMW suspension was way harsher for the crappy roads we have here. The A5 wasn't available at that time. I won't get a BMW with run flats. A used G70 with the V6 engine probably goes for the same price but it is so cramped, the BMW is a much nicer size wise all arounder than the G70. I would still take a used A4 or A5 though over the 330i.
