Glad to see another 330 video. Seems like every video on here is 340. I’m with you. I couldn’t justify the 340 as I work from home and just don’t think I would truly get to enjoy that straight 6 as it should be. I have a ver similar spec and am More than happy with my 330. Enjoy yours!
I say that about the m3 having a m340i but the truth is I really want an m3 and just say what your saying because I don’t have one .There’s different levels to this.
I just got mine last week after ordering it first week of October. Car definitely has more power than you think. I keep having to police myself, because even when you get up in speed it feels like you're going slower. Someone at BMW is dabbling in black magic 😂 because this doesn't feel like a 4 cylinder.
I've had mine since Oct and it's true. When you are doing 50 it feels like 30. Can get you in trouble. It's the ride. It's so smooth your body isn't able to pick up on the road vibrations as easily. Imo
Absolutely great video! I’m buying one with the M Sport package too. How are you dealing with the low profile tires? Do you have to be extremely careful or just watch out for big potholes?
I had the 2016 A3 S-line, great little car and had zero issues but unfortunately it was a bit too small for my liking which is why I traded up for a 2019 A4 and now this!
@@thenew330i nice!! I’m considering between various cars including new 330i, A4/A5 (45 tfsi), s3… Used to own 2021 330i and found it to be a little bit too jerky/harsh for passengers when pushing around. Re A4/A5 - there are currently great demo deals on these however I’m concerned that there will be new generation coming out next year so this year model will drop in value instantly… There is even a demo s4 available at pretty much the price of new s3! s3 - quite small in size but could be good fun & value to drive around the city. Would you have any recommendations based on cars you’ve owned?
@@Denny.B. Absolutely: If you're doing lots of city driving and you prioritize Fuel Economy and Value over size and driving dynamic; then A3 would be a perfect vehicle. If you prioritize comfort, size and smooth daily driving (soft steering and slowish-but very smooth throttle response) then the A4 is perfect. If you prefer badge-status and an incredible driving dynamic over comfort; then the 330i is the car for you!
I know there’s more performance in the hybrid version but I’m not sure how they would compare! Personally I’m not a fan of hybrids because I’m unsure of their longevity with maintenance.
@@thenew330i I ended up going with the Genesis G70. It was similar price to the 330i I was looking at, and the jump to the 340i was 30k more. 64-65k for fully loaded G70 and 330i was 68k, but the 340i was 95k all in. I couldn’t justify the 340i for similar reasons as you.
@@thenew330i thanks. I really liked the 330i, I was meh on the A4/S4 and C300, new c43 looks good on paper, but it’s only hitting dealerships around me now, and I got the 2023 G70 a month ago. Watching your videos isn’t good for me trying to avoid buyer’s remorse haha
2:38 Lol guess my comments from the last video struck a nerve. My 2020 m340i is a daily driver and I love the power. I use all of it and want more with a bootmod3 n down pipe tune. The feeling you get when pushed back in your seat is amazing and yea the extra 175extra hp you can feel. I'm glad you like your car but the m340i is for the real enthusiasts. We car buy cars just for the bmw badge 🤣 Friendly shit talk.
Do you have Sport+ in your 2023 330i? I have a 2020 330i and coded Sport+ using Bimmercode. There’s a noticeable exhaust note difference between Sport and Sport+. No idea why BMW, at least in the US, removes Sport+ in the 330i.
Yeah I also coded in Sport+ in my car. It didn’t come with it from factory, and also; I unplugged the valved exhaust connector to keep it in the opened position at all times so there’s no difference in exhaust sound between comfort to sport plus! Exhaust video coming soon!
I really enjoy ‘real’ user reviews and footage like this. Before my current 2022 M135i, I had the pre-LCI 320i and I feel the interior and exterior updates really being the 3 Series forward
Nice video. I ordered the exact same specs. Brooklyn Gray with red interior. Shadowline package. Is the exhaust sound like that originally? Or was it coded? Thanks and love your video
I unplugged the muffler valve in the open position so it's louder than stock startup. I recently did a resonator delete and will be posting a video shortly! Thanks bro!
You have your priorities straight and that will keep you successful for the future! And if you keep thinking like that; you'll be able to comfortably afford an M340i rather than the 330i in no time!
What is the exact step by step process to do the launch control in this car? I just picked up my 2023 m340 but havnt done the launch control because I’m not quite sure what i need to do to make it happen.
For some reason I’ve heard people are having trouble engaging it but: sport mode, traction off, wheel straight, sport transmission, hold break all the way down, then gas pedal all the way down until kick-down is achieved. Let revs climb then release the break
do you have the adaptive suspension package? You mentioned the suspension was really nice over bumps and stuff so I was wondering if you have that package and if it's worth it.
@@thenew330i for some reason though I can't seem to find how to control the air flow direction manually. I basically just have two options: balanced or dynamic.
The 4 cylinder is certainly a great performer! I did get the 23 340i because it's my weekend car and I want to maximize the experience. Is there a way to display the oil temperature? Thanks!
Congratulations! What a monster, and to be honest I’m not sure how! I assumed the engine temperature that’s displayed in the bottom right corner applied to the oil temp as well lol
@@swervostoneyb1251 I also found out that you need to be in sports mode in order to display the oil temperature. It's in the "content" setting. Thanks!
I got one yesterday and within 5 minutes of leaving the dealership my wife got a ticket. Clocked her at 85 in 60. Definitely can get lost in speed at how slow it feels inside
I have a video posted with the full cost breakdown! And I’ve had absolutely zero issues mechanically, the only issue is iDrive8 and Carplay maps location unsyncing sometimes.
How did you configure remote start? I bought it and it shows purchased in idrive 8 (in car) and on bmw website but it doesn’t show available in the app.
Hey, does the bimmercode voids warranty on some cases? I want to get one! I purchased a 23 x3M today love it! And I just love how intuitive that screen is! That my bmw in between the maps and music is sick. I love how its so detailed , when u hit the brakes , it shows the brake lights , the turn signals etc! Nice car!
Thanks bro, and you bought yourself a beast! And warranty only gets voided for the things you manipulate from stock so if you code in different ambient lighting colours but something goes wrong with the ambient lighting in the future and the dealership traces the reason for it back to the coding, then your warranty will be void for it.

Just the big ones to be safe but the tire compound is very capable in taking impact but not the best for punctures.
Did you consider s3 when buying this 330i?

Does this 330i have a OPF/GPF filter? Or are you based in America? I guess in America there is no filter on the cars?
Yes it does have the OPF filter.
Do you get the LC checkers flag when you do the launch control?
Nope, I think they removed it!
The instrument cluster is a downgrade imo. I'd rather have the lambo dash in the g20s
A lot of people would prefer the old dash over iDrive 8, although I personally like the tech and how sleek iDrive8 looks
Is your car exhaust stock? Cuz if it is that’s really nice
The car has a resonator delete but it sounds very similar to stock!

I love your BMW i just got mine a couple weeks ago 330I I’m red and i am in love everyday i drive it 😮💨
I feel the same!
can you use 89 oct in the 330i and how is the reliability in the long run? Thanks . Great review.
Yes you can but 91 is recommended. I’m not sure about reliability but BMW’s are notorious for having issues around the 6 year mark.
Nice video. I ordered the exact same specs. Brooklyn Gray with red interior. Shadowline package. Is the exhaust sound like that originally? Or was it coded?

330i vs 340i: Which one to choose in which situation?
