I love how BMW is keeping it real with the exhaust no fake 👍

Great review!! I actually think this one is classy and subtle!! I agree with you about the gloss black not looking good in the rear, but it does match the front.

I’m liking the muscular chiseled front end….but what I appreciate even more is you keeping the mph uncensored so I could really get a gauge as to how the vehicle performs with regards to acceleration and braking. Through the video it’s not always easy to tell so having the visible frame of reference was a nice touch!

I own the 330i in portimao blue it's a 2022 I bought it right after the LCI came out I love the way the new idrive system looks graphics wise but I just like physical buttons way better.

Hey, Joe good review on the BMW, also I am glad BMW is sticking with more gas powered vehicles 😊😊😊.

Wow glad to see you coming up on One Million subs! Congrats Joe and Lori!

Drove one in Deutschland and LOVED it. 330i is a winner engine. All I need, even on the Autobahn.

Getting rid of the physical preset buttons and placing them on a "swipe down" from the top feature on new screen for the presets ... agree, bad idea IMO.

I feel that safety will drive this as it becomes more of a distraction to me than anything else.

BMW killed it with the Gxx series cars. Sedans aren't dead as long as they're still making them like this. I LOVE my G20 M340i.

Love my 2019 330i M-SPORT car is a blast to drive and so balanced all around. prefer the M-SPORT front and rear bumpers over these. i drive 8 is a step back from i drive 7 as well i think it feels to convoluted.

Having seen a similarly specced 330 during my recent trip to the US, I can say that it looks very good, except for that black glossy plastic part on the lower front and lower rear, I thought that looked cheap. Also no buttons for climate control is not ideal imo. But I am sure that it's a great daily driver.

It's a great daily driver but like you say, those touchscreen climate controls are a problem. After 5 months I'm still not used to them and it still irritates me every time I want to change the A/C or heated seats. Of course, only a minor detail on the whole, all in all I do really like it

My oldman has a 2023 sky scraper M550. Looks great with black wheels and red calipers. 330 is a better run about than M340. But M340 is monster performance wise.

I have this car in Oxide grau or gray from Ramstein, Germany. The color looks very similar, it changes a bit depending on how the sun hits it. 😊 love the car so far.

Gloss black on front and back bumbers are a major zonk! Just imagine the stone chips.

No massively huge and fugly beaver tooth grill on it is a win in my book. One of the few still attractive BMW's. Nice review! Thanks.

Great car from my own personal experience with a 2020 model. For 2023 however, bmw should’ve at least increased it to 305 hp same 295 ft lbs of torque That would put it on par with the step up m340i having 382 hp and 369 ft lbs of torque. Make it make sense. I mean they have touched up on everything else like the new LCI Botox facelift the fillers in the rear end. The weird gear shifter. At least give us more horse power.

Love the 3 series! I own a 2020 330i and I absolutely love it and it's exceedingly fuel efficient for a pure petrol engine. This new 330i (love the color by the way) is nice. I'm a foglights type of guy, I think cars look slicker, graceful and just more complete with them. It sux this new 3 series does not have em. I also love that you can get red for an interior color option which you could not get with the generation I own. But I absolutely hate just hate the new screen layout and the fact BMW got rid of a lot of physical buttons. Glad I got my 3 series when I got it.

So no issues with my Bimmer but one thing I changed almost right away when I got my car was the run flats.

Thankfully I have the M sport adaptive suspension to help out with comfort even more.

One thing i am curious about is, do the rear turn signals interfere with the brake lights? I noticed there's an extra, lower portion to the turn signals, so if you have your hazards on, would the lower portion stay blinking when you are braking while the upper portion stays on to indicate you are braking? Something that i think is actually a major safety issue on our roads, and I really think it should be a law to have the braking lights separated from the turn signal lights. Other than that, i am totally loving this styling, and the interior really suits this class of car very well.

do you think 19'' wheels are ok for daily driving on a little bit bad roads, ok roads and highway ? i think 19'' are to big and tiers are to small, what about you ? ( speed will not be over 180mh/h)
