what maintenance do you do and how often? I just purchased a used 2020 BMW 330i xDrive with 61k miles. It is an awesome car but I want to make sure I keep good care of it with minimal repairs
@ggcools9 ай бұрын
I sold my BMW to my son after 60K miles. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly sure about all of the maintenance. I followed what the dealership recommended. I had spark plugs replaced, and I had brake fluid replaced. I ended up needing front and rear brakes, including rotors, and, of course oil change every 10k miles. Fairly expensive to maintain. I don’t usually agree on maintenance packages, but moving forward, my wife and I have purchased a maintenance package on our other BMW.

I may do that. I’ve had others ask the same thing. These are the costs I can think of so far. Rear brakes $900 (40k miles), front brakes $1000 (50k), spark plugs $300 (60k), oil & filter change every 10k $220, cabin air filter and engine air filter $150, brake flush $200. I pay ~$55 monthly for insurance through State Farm. I average 27mpg in town and up to 39mpg on the road and I drive in Sport Mode 100% of the time.

This review and your other one are absolutely awesome. I watched many reviews, and yours is the most unbiased, honest, and authentic. I am sure that because of you, some people who were on the fence are buying the car. Quick question: I just bought one of these. Really like everything about it, except I feel like when in Comfort mode there is a sort of delay, or like a hesitation when starting at a stand still. It's hard to describe, but it's there. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Is that delay sensation something you or your viewers have experienced?
@ggcools3 жыл бұрын
I know exactly what you are feeling. This is the main reason why I do not drive it in comfort mode. The other reason is because I can’t hear the engine noise, which is a little ironic because I’m not a big engine noise guy. I also just like how it accelerates in sport mode and I like how it doesn’t feel like it’s “lagging” trying to get the most fuel economy possible like it does in comfort mode. Also when it’s in comfort mode and I try and pull out in front of traffic there is the delay or hesitation that you talked about and I do not like that. I have learned to drive the whole time in sport mode. I get good fuel economy because I normally use the adaptive cruise control while driving in town and that gives me the best fuel consumption I think.
@miketennis143 жыл бұрын
@@ggcools Thank you so much Gregory for this information! I noticed exactly what you said in that in Sport mode the lagging is not there. I am going to try to keep it in Sport mode as well going forward. Your detailed description of the characteristic was really a help to me. Also, I agree with you on the radio - with the chip shortage and the general situation with trying to buy a new car, there are no HK systems available.

It’s an awesome car without those features. Fun to drive.
Thanks for the in depth review. How has the leather held up? The Vernasca leather in relatively new so I'm curious about the durability. Also, has the vehicle developed any creeks and rattles?
The Vernasca leather has held up really well. My wife has a one year older BMW with the fake leather that already has cracks in it. I have had some rattles on the speaker cover on the dash. The other thing that’s annoying is one of the speakers is blown already in the right door. Outside of that I love it.
@@ggcools Thanks. I have a 08 5 series with 200k miles. No cracks in the leather and little wear.
does it have a 360 camera? is it included as standard or as an additional package
Yes. With the Executive Package. Yes this one has that.
Sorry Greg, but the title is misleading. The design features were there a year ago... what changed since you drove 20k?
I agree. I had envisioned sharing better information but when I put it together I just covered mostly design like you said. Nothing really changed. Just wanted to share little things I noticed and how I feel after one year.
Well Done !! About to buy my 330i xDrive 2021....Loved the review....Was undecided but you gave me the push. How is the car after two years of ownership ?
I love it. I was just thinking yesterday about posting something about the 2 year mark. This car is fun to drive and sporty. It took me a little to get used to the sporty feel. You will love this car.
I also posted a 1year follow up on my KZread if your interested in that.
For future reference, the hi-fi sound system that BMW offers is made and produced by Harman. The upgraded $875 option for surround sound just has more speakers and a better amplifier.
don't forget the metal covers for vanity purposes lol!
This is nice..Luxury at it's best..Toyota did it again..
This review and your other one are absolutely awesome. I watched many reviews, and yours is the most unbiased, honest, and authentic. I am sure that because of you, some people who were on the fence are buying the car. Quick question: I just bought one of these. Really like everything about it, except I feel like when in Comfort mode there is a sort of delay, or like a hesitation when starting at a stand still. It's hard to describe, but it's there. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Is that delay sensation something you or your viewers have experienced?
I know exactly what you are feeling. This is the main reason why I do not drive it in comfort mode. The other reason is because I can’t hear the engine noise, which is a little ironic because I’m not a big engine noise guy. I also just like how it accelerates in sport mode and I like how it doesn’t feel like it’s “lagging” trying to get the most fuel economy possible like it does in comfort mode. Also when it’s in comfort mode and I try and pull out in front of traffic there is the delay or hesitation that you talked about and I do not like that. I have learned to drive the whole time in sport mode. I get good fuel economy because I normally use the adaptive cruise control while driving in town and that gives me the best fuel consumption I think.
@@ggcools Thank you so much Gregory for this information! I noticed exactly what you said in that in Sport mode the lagging is not there. I am going to try to keep it in Sport mode as well going forward. Your detailed description of the characteristic was really a help to me. Also, I agree with you on the radio - with the chip shortage and the general situation with trying to buy a new car, there are no HK systems available. I was very concerned about that, but when I heard the radio I realized it was not bad at all and much better than many other stock systems out there. Thank you again!
Excellent review. Bizarre how people go way out of their way to find the one or two hard spots that they don't like. So some don't like the purr of the engine.. Then buy a Corolla. Well done!!
Thank you! Fun car.
I just bought a 2020 330i yesterday. Went back to the dealership to get an amp out of my trade in. The salesman that sold me the car backed another car into MY BRAND NEW CAR. 🤬🤬🤬 I’ve had more accidents in one day of owning this car than I did with in 5 years with my Mustang 😅
Oh man! That’s no good. Hopefully they fix it soon so you can enjoy it. I still love mine. Just turned over the 33,000 moles.
Does this SUV have bluetooth and how many mpg on highway
nice n honest..like it
Thank you! I still love driving my car. Even more than when I first got it.
