Hi everybody! Unfortunately I must say no, I changed my mind the last minute and got a diesel instead. That 2.0 turbo is a little weak to be called a 330, if you ask me. Go for the 340i if you can afford. I still think though that the 330i is a reasonable choice. Haven't heard much bad about it.
So the fact that the new 4 cylinder turbo is just better then the 6 doesn’t matter to you cause it doesn’t sound that good ? 4 turbo is better faster more efficient.
Bmw doesn`t have a model called 330xi in 2018. That`s a model ended in 2006, I guess you mean 330 x drive. :) I hear ya about some of the complaints but then there is 340 xdrive which is a beast :) 330 x drive is for people who don`t care about the hp or torque but wan to to own a nice compact luxury Sedan, at the end of the day BMW is a true driver`s car. Turbo engine is fun once you get used to it or accept the fact that it is the future... start stop function can be disabled or enabled depending on your choice. Also digital display is an option for a little extra, some people like the analog still.
BMW does make 330xi with a digital dash plus it come with a heads up display; it comes with the executive package. They are a bit harder to find, but I am lucky enough to own one myself so I know they exist.
First he's complaning about BMW swapping the natural aspirated car to the four sylinder turbo charged engine, his arguement there beeing that he is oldschool. And then he goes on, complaining about the car not having digital gages, calling BMW out to step their game up because they are too oldschool^^ What do you want mate? New tech or oldschool`??
Just send her and buy one. it it’s completely worth it tbh just know your budget for maintenance it’s not expensive but it can get pricey if you can’t do the simple stuff yourself brakes, oil, air filters, etc
I love the analog gauges, like a mechanical watch, vs Fitbit's. Germans make the best gauges, PERIOD...However the warm up small "ready to drive " worries me.
So, complaining about the dash.. but you can get the 2018 with the digital dash.. what a guy! 😂 Also turn your start stop off, this guy doesn’t know anything about cars apparently.
You forgot to mention the compartment space below the knee on the door bangs into your lower leg/calf area. You can't comfortably lean your leg against the door without banging into it. On my old model 2013 M-Sport, the door compartment folds in. Wish they went back to that. I feel like cutting out that lower part of the door so I can fully stretch my left leg on the dead pedal and not feel the door bulging out.
I have an old E65 745, the first to come out with iDrive. Amazingly it still works. The rotary knob and the lcd all work to this day. The very first iDrive implementation. Amazing how little has changed today. I was checking out a used 2018 330 xdrive and it was a bummer to use. Like you I lamented these old school analog dashes. Didn’t end up buying.
I had 1 as a loaner from my BMW dealership. Thought motor was super loud, sounded like a lawn mower and road noise was loud for a vehicle in this class. Would get 340 for sure. I had dealer program my start/stop feature turned off unless I turn on. Normally it's always on. They did it under warranty, other wise they'd charge customers.
I have the 2018, its an LCD, not analog, still not as good as others, thats about the only update they did to the 2018. Note, I live in Europe, so 2018 model starts manufacturing in june 2017 and delivers sep and forward.

Yup Start-stop system is the stupidest thing in the world . Engine doesnt sound too bad just your are used to with the astonishing sound of your V10 and that's why this 4cyl turbo sounds to you wack :)
You are right, it does not sound bad, just a bit tame vs the Lambo or E60 M5 sounds. Still not a bad noise. The beauty as well with the stop start is at least you can turn it off.
I just bought one because and despite of your video
How does it drive??
Is it reliable??

Just bought one aswell with 20k miles for 34 CAD
I agree with your points, but the analog gauges. I love them in my F30, they might be old school but hey they are what BMW always have been
Overall I really like this car. Very easy to live with a great to look at.
Idk, I don’t trust anyone with a soul patch...
Why not?
Because it’s creepy 😂
That ain’t a soul patch, homie got a VOID patch
@@KidHueey 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was rude lol
That doesn't sound to bad. I'm getting a used 2018 330xi this week.
How has it been?
Did you get it??
hows it been?
Did you end up getting it? How is it

''Im a sucker for the old stuff" ......2 min later...."WHY DONT YOU HAVE DIGITAL CLUSTERS!!! EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT"
You can turn off the start stop feature the button is right above the push start button lol
So the fact that the new 4 cylinder turbo is just better then the 6 doesn’t matter to you cause it doesn’t sound that good ? 4 turbo is better faster more efficient.
I like the old school analog Speedo and tachometer!
Many agree with you

I line your review better less bitchy 😂👊🏽
ikr? iX silly.
Weak review. That car is amazing. I felt like you were just nit picking. None of these issues would ever be a concern to me
What do you think about the new 2021 230i 4 cylinder 2 door sport coupe with the available manual transmission?
One word, yes
BMW does make 330xi with a digital dash plus it come with a heads up display; it comes with the executive package. They are a bit harder to find, but I am lucky enough to own one myself so I know they exist.
Nice. Thanks for watching.
I just got the M sport package..absolutely beautiful
Absolitely

Tbh, high performance yet conventional drivetrains including manual transmissions ideally but a simple yet classy interior
My Civic hasa digital dash, it went glitzy one day, and was annoying. I prefer the BMW semi analog & digital dash.
The analog gauges are sexy .. makes the car a nice blend of traditional and new. I'd probably not buy one if it looked like every other car.
Before i watched i thought there were some major issues with 3er, but this is another level...
Miljenko this issue even issues, the guy fails on every point haha
The title should not be" not to buy". It should be " 5 things that should be much better".
Fun car regardless
@@ECPP I know I just bought a 2017 one. I love it
Basically, stupid UA-camrs trying to get MORE VIEWS!!!
Analog is cool- everyone else is doing it does not always qualify as a valid reason.
I agree with you about the the engine, miss the old ones, that’s all tho.
Is this a N20 or a B48?
I really want a 3 series xdrive!!!
Why is it soooo hard to just get more footage of the actual car and less of the mouth?? Ugh!!!

So convenience and aesthetics are the issue. You know you can turn off the auto engine feature. Well to each of their own.
I think people who can't afford a new one say the old ones are better.
So, complaining about the dash.. but you can get the 2018 with the digital dash.. what a guy! 😂

I had a 2011 Mustang GT. Loved it. I prefer the 330 for sound and performance

No issues with it since you took it off?
Nice soul patch
G20 BMW 3 series should solve all these problems
Absolutely, and yet I do actually like this car overall.
I have the 2018, its an LCD, not analog, still not as good as others, thats about the only update they did to the 2018. Note, I live in Europe, so 2018 model starts manufacturing in june 2017 and delivers sep and forward.

Stick with the analog gauges BMW. I HATE digital gauges. I DESPISE THEM

Except the turbo 4 of course in the new G20
Would be nice to have a manual in the G20 but does not look like its in the cards.
Ty
You are welcome
the soul patch bro its 2022
Haha, nice
Dash smash whats the big deal?
Some just like to hear themselves talk
Yup Start-stop system is the stupidest thing in the world .
