    I have a G20 330i. Have owned it for a year. It is a fantastic vehicle, inside and out. Comfortable and efficient in eco pro and aggressive sounding and fast as hell in Sport +.
    The B48 engine is great. Even though it is only 4cyl, its twin turbo'd and if you have xDrive the driving experience is amazing. Stock the car already sounds great and is a bunch of fun.
    A tune will help make this car feel insanely different. Highly suggest doing some mods under the hood.

    I have driven my G20 330i for over 2 years and 55000 km now. I have the same opinion, that this car is the perfect compromise. The engine is so responsive - even at 1500 rpm - smooth and perfomant, although it keeps the low consumption of a 4-cylinderengine. I also think, that especially the noise insulation is great.

      @@gabrielsticks2829I have one as well so I can answer with my perspective. The only fault I have with it on the highway is like many say at the top-end it could use more power and is why many just opt for an m340. I can really feel the engine working past 110mph. Though, you’re well past illegal speeds basically everywhere besides the autobahn at that point. Cabin noise insulation could also be better but this would be a 3-series wide complaint.

    I drove the 330i and the M340i on the same day on a route which had mix of city and motorway. You will notice that I have not compared the 320i here mainly because the 330i and M340i are the more sportier models. Anyway, back to the comparison. I found that for daily city and motorways, the M340i definitely felt a lot heavier lacking the nimbleness of the 330i. It felt so much heavier in the front then the 330i ,that it felt like it really needed that extra power to get going. The 330i on the other hand felt so right on the money. I don't know how to put it into words. Imagine a Mazda Miata fitted with 3.0 liter engine vs the standard configuration Miata. Now you get why the 330i "feels" so quick despite having less power. I've driven 3 series since the 1990s and this G20 330i is as good a driver as it gets

    The best TH-cam review of the G20 330i. Thank you. The truth here is that despite 2L engine, the car does not feel underpowered at all, and my baseline is the long ownership of the e92 335i with 3L. The gearbox on 300i is also sublime ensuring smooth power delivery through all phases of acceleration. Suspension and handling in general feels superior to e92. I find breaks fully adequate on 330i, BTW.

    I own a very well specified 2019 330i MSport shadowline in Portimao blue. This was a downsize for me back into a 3 series (my 4th, after a very long gap - I had an E30 and two E36s, all new in their day, plus some time in a company owned E46). I considered a M340i and loved the engine sound and sheer grunt, but I agree with Max that the rear-drive 330i is much closer to the 3-series I remembered with playful handling and - for road use - plenty of power. More power than any 6 cylinder model of the old cars I owned. I miss the road feel from the hydraulic steering, and the massively fat rim of the wheel doesn’t help though I’m used to it now. I’m in Australia where speed limits are low and heavily policed, so a really powerful car is a waste unless you’re going to track it. A stock 330i is easily enough on our roads and amazingly economical on long runs - I easily get under 5L/100 km at our 110 km freeway limit. I think it’s the best all round sports sedan you can buy. I continue to be delighted with mine and don’t see anything else yet that might make me want to change.

I never drove the 440i of that generation but I really liked the m4 and can imagine the 440i (with tune) is similar. But its a personal thing I’d say testdrive both and see what you like.

    I have owned my 330i G20 for over 4 years now. I think it’s a perfect compromise when the M340i is just outside your budget. Mine is fully equipped with M performance parts (bought and fitted at DeMaassche) and I fitted an Eisenmann exhaust in the first year of ownership. The exhaust sound produced by the eisenmann exhaust makes up for the lack of a 6 cilinder sound. It’s not the same, but far better than the standard exhaust note as produced by the B48. Mine also has the limited slip diff which is a must have for every sporty driver in my opinion.
