Is the 2021 BMW 330i the BEST luxury sport sedan for the money?

- The 330i carries on the BMW 3 series tradition. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged engine that is producing 255HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find an athletic look on the RWD platform with M Performance wheels. On the inside you will find a well laid out interior with lots of great tech. Is the 2021 BMW 330i a luxury sport sedan WORTH buying?

Here's the bigger question. Is Joe Raiti the best automotive reviewer on You Tube? The answer is YES.
You are so awesome for saying that! Thank you!
You lack the discipline
Yes! Raiti Is The Best Reviewer In The Game Right Now. Also Funny As Well 😁.
For regular cars yes but for anything like exotic supercars or hypercars shmee 150 is definitely the best and the goat
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!
No question!
It’s not always about the M’s, real bmw people love 3 series, 5 series, etc.. I have as huge soft spot for base models. Less in more sometimes and just a well cared for and maintained BMW is German automotive excellence.
I am so glad that you like this one Castro!
BMWs r so nice that you only need a base model
Very true. I have a 330i just like this one and it’s an incredible car. Always maintained on time and never had a single issue.
@@CorbinWilliams this is far from a base model. This is practically a 60k car with all of the added options. It’s heaps and bounds better than a standard 330 so congrats to you and enjoy the car!
We had this car as a loaner in February. It was beautiful inside and out. Got 40mpg average on the highway with a 5 hour trip, crazy! Very fast too!
same have the same loaner now, and the 4 cylinder is pretty fun to drive and super smooth
I test drive a similar 2019 CPO 330i Xdrive this week. What a nice car. Smooth ride in comfort/eco mode, and fast for a 4-cylinder turbo in my opinion. The low-end torque is impressive.
This car has the M Sport package which is why you see the M badges on it as well as the much more aggressive front and rear fascia. Really enjoyed the thorough review!
Thanks for that great info and for letting me share this one with you!
And somehow he had no clue while reviewing.. unreal I couldn't believe it
Just wanted to shout out a thank you here. Your very detailed, thoughtful, and funny review really sold this car for me.
I really appreciate how much time you put into each car and how interactive you make it. Just wanted to say a thank you! Keep up the great work!
Great job evaluating the 330i! Lots of solid info, PLUS a great sense of humor. Loved it!
I have my 2021 BMW 330 with 11k miles on. I LOVE IT
I've never been a BMW guy but wow, nice! Hope you guys had a nice thanksgiving!
We did have a great Turkey Day! I hope you had the same.
I can’t believe you are almost at 400k subscribers! Congrats and now you are on the road to that big 500k!
Thanks Jeremy for being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Great commentary as always and Crown Vic killing it with the Beemer footage!
Thanks man! We appreciate your support!
Joe, look forward to your reviews, keep them coming. Your opinions on cars are very fair and very detailed.
Thank you for taking the time to say that!
This makes me excited for my new 320i. Collecting it on Tuesday. Brilliant review
Thank you for always telling us about the steering wheel. I’m looking long and hard for a heavier steering like older model cars. Both my old cars. BMW 335i 2008 and benz c300 2008 both had perfect steering. Now newer model cars have soft steering and now I’m unable to drive or operate a vehicle anymore without freaking out and having a panic attack. But I don’t want to buy old cars I want a new car so this has taken me years to find and still no luck! Hopefully one of the bmws will work out for me.
I’m with you. The m340i has better steering response and feel.
Thanks you waiting for this all the day 🤙🏽
Thanks for the dedictation! I hope it was worth the wait!
I have a 4 series and just got a 2021 330i “M” trim model loaner as my car was in the shop. The car is amazing. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the car was. The loaner I had was fully loaded with all the options. Honestly thinking about trading in my 4 series for a 340i. Do not like the new kidney grilles on the newest 4 series :(
It is hard to say.... with the TLX, A5, C300, IS300, and even the STINGER...there are choices out there.. Nice video JOE
Hey Joey. Thanks for another great review, man. I really like this little BMW, Joey. A real nice color combo-that blue metallic exterior with that black and tan interior is classic BMW, real sharp and tough. :) JV Johnny
I am so glad that you are digging this one Johnny!
Ive been eagerly waiting to see a review of the 2021 330i from you Joe, loved the video. I've been looking to change my car with either a 2021 Lexus Is 350 F or this, thank you
I am so glad that it was worth the wait for you!
Omg I’m debating between these two as well ! I can’t decide (x
Almost 400K. Loving it. Just amazing.
Thanks Chris! I can’t do it without you!
I love your reviews brother. You are the best. Great work. 👏👏👏
You hit the nail right on the head with this 330i here Joe!!! That blue is absolutely gorgeous and the tan interior is sublime!!! Thanks much for this review!!!

Great feature as always. I had the opportunity to autocross a g20 330i in this same color during some BMW event back when people did things. I'd try to step up to the inline 6, but great package here.
Thanks for letting me share it with you and that is some great input from your experience!
Send you've stepped up your game a bit. Although I would like just a bit more history when it comes to foreign car manufacturers. I think this was a better review than the last BMW I watched. Not from the automotive stand point but from you. Great job sir.
Raiti is the only car guy I will watch every review very informative 👍
Thanks Earl! That really means so much!
Dude, I think you're the fastest youtuber to release car reviews one after the other!! So much dedication and quality. Keep it up..
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Love all your reviews. Lots of information that I look forward to BUT wish you could give some industry into the maintenance costs for people who are considering switching to a vehicle they've not ever owned. Thanks
Just bought my 2021 330i and soooo in love with it!!
Joe, Great review as always! Have you ever reviewed a 3 series GT? I am a little confused if I should opt for the standard 3 series or the GT.
Very luxurious and classic at the same time 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
I ma os glad that you are liking this one.
Very clean sedan! I love that interior. Victor would take a ride in a BMW pedal car, I'm sure.
You are 100% correct!
I have the same car, same color, it’s a XDrive though. Live in the NE, so I need it. But it’s a good car. Not fast, but perky. Good fuel economy and the HK sound system is good.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership!
My ex was perky. My new main squeeze is fast. Yes I’m talking about my cars.
You should get it supercharged. I think it would be a lot faster if it had the bigger 3L engine. My 04 330i has a 3.0L and it’s really fast have never been beaten by any new bmw but yet everyone says it’s not a turbo hmmm
We just had one of these as a loaner and it was surprisingly quick. The ride was a little more harsh than expected though.
I for one had a 330i E46 and it was sheer driving pleasure now I can imagine this one with all the improved tech, its must be a thrill. automóvel da deutschland 'sheer driving pleasure'
Thanks for sharing that input from your ownership experience!
The 3-series Beamers look in body style like the 5-series from about four or five years ago. It's hard to tell one from another at a distance.
That is a very good point!
I think 2021 is more sporty and German than the old bulky 3 series in the past
I think the trunk of this 2021 is more cut than round like the previous models more so to the e46.
@@chrispy9736 I agree: the new Beamers do look more refined than their predecessors, and yes, they do appear to have that je ne çe pas Germanic look, almost retro 90s.
So true. My Dad has a 2011 750Li and has some nice features that my 2022 3 series doesn't. It seems to trickle down the models.
good vid, still patiently waiting for the
2021 M5 Competition
I am getting to gether for you!
Thanks for the video. Own a 2017. Plan on purchasing a 2023.
Yes it is. Will get mine in few weeks, it was either this or the alfa romeo with the 2.0
To those depressed people out there, I know how you feel, I know exactly how worst that feeling was. I know how it seems be hopeless and helpless. I know how it feels to fight a battle that no one knows other than you. Lets be honest that the feeling is not okay, but bear that sometimes its okay to be not okay.
Just a reminder that Jesus loves you so much he died for you! He will never leave you nor forsake you! Jesus can heal your depression! Jesus can do anything! God bless! if you have any questions feel free to ask me :)
As nice as this is, not the video to comment this on
@@d3kiwi138 a lot of people appreciated that comment including myself.
@@katherinemariv8856 yeah that’s fine, it’s just that there are videos appropriate to say this and there aren’t
what?
I like the sneaky little product placements for Starbucks, Snickers, Subway, Doritos, etc. Like the car too. Rented one in Scotland last month, did 2250 km in 15 days, loved it. Steering feels great, good performance. Great car.
I just sat in one of these cars today. It's by far one of the nicest cars I've ever been in. Would love to take it for a test drive. Just wish I could afford one.
Thanks mate for the great reviews. This helped us choose a 330i M Sport in Mineral White! You guys are lucky, they cost so much less in the US. Ours out the door is just under $100k AUD! Everything Down Unda is more expensive. That's one thing I miss about being from the US! Thanks again!
Oh Wow! That is very pricey! I am so glad that I can share my car passion with you!
I have a 2019 330i MSport with xDrive. Love it, I’d highly recommend.
@Rico William 255hp. No boost from the standard 330. MSport has cosmetic differences, more aggressive front bumper and also different steering/suspension. Mine has MSport brakes too.
13:35 - "...your kids put one of their knives in here..." wat. Great review! :)
Thanks for letting me share some cars and laughs with you!
Lol he’s right tho!
That’s why my kids only store guns back there.
I purchased this car in black sapphire with everything black with FULL M PACKAGE & FULL PREMIUM EXCELLENT PACKAGE got the M SUSPENSION but not ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION. I don't regret it because I have all the top features plus I rather have those than buying the 340i just for the engine then I of to ADD all those PACKAGES for EXTRA MONEY which will make the car cost more. I felt like I'm in a 5 Series with all the Top Tech features plus coding extra features makes it even Luxurious, great review 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing that great info from your experience!
RAITI Running All Initial Tests Infallibilly
BMW 3s are very nice cars. For 5 years combined drove a 2003 325i and 2015 328i and both were very nice cars.
I am so glad that you like this one.
This is my next one. This exact car. Color and everything 👍
I just got my 2021 bmw 330i in black with the same wheels this car has!!! STR8 head turner!!!!!! Such a beautiful car drives amazing.... from a Honda Accord to a BMW🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congrats Anthony! That is so awesome!
@@RaitisRides thank you🙏 I’m so happy you reply love watching your videos keep them coming... 😀
Hi,
How much more for the maintenance? I am in same situation thinking to upgrade to bmw. Thanks
Joe, I love your videos. I'm car shopping right now and your videos are so helpful! At the dealerships I find myself thinking "How many twinkies would fit in here?" lol. Keep up the good work, man!
You need the 340 with the 3 liter straight 6 B58 engine. I have it in my A91 Edition Supra and it's awesome.
I totally agree with you!
Still think the 330 is more respected than all other 3 series 340 is just 330 it was made with intent of being more m like only thing I concur with is the 3l engine
Awesome review as always!
Thanks Umar! I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
I agree with putting the DOT reflector lights where the fake vents are. Joe should be a car designer, he knows functionality and styling better than most car makers!😂
Thanks fo saying that Jason.
Joe, fantastic review! Does it feel like a mid 5 second car?
that was a nice review, just gonna say that so many m logos are coz that particular 330 is the one with the m visual optional package
Great job again! Thanks raiti!.
Thank you for saying that and for tuning in!
I put a Dynan Power Tune in mine it pairs with your app on your phone and adds up to 30 extra horsepower. It also has a valet mode and if you get it installed at an authorized BMW dealer it does not void the warranty
Real talk Joe ahead of the race 🏁 grinding like Wu Tang or Heavy D "We got our own thang!"
I am digging that Milton! Thanks for your awesome support!
That blue makes all the difference but no ventilated seats. BTW Joe keeps us laughing and we thank him.
Thanks brother for letting me bring it to you!
Congrats on 400k Joe I subscribed b4 u even hit 100k and ill say your one of my favorite youtubers definitely tonight or tomorrow you will have 400k for sure 💨✅👌🏾👍🏾💯 on throttle 💨💨💨
Thanks Jerelle for being on this journey with me and for being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
@@RaitisRides your welcome Joe ‼️👌🏾👍🏾
Sport mode and move the shifter to the left, transmission will shift quicker
Thanks for that heads up Jose!
The ultimate driving machine.. I own this car and it beautiful nothing compares to drive a bimmer
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏
You are so very welcome! Thanks for watching from across the pond.
The rental car company made a mistake and gave me a 330I Xdrive, I really enjoyed it very fun car fuel mileage was great as well on the highway.
I just got one of these in white and I love it
Congrats! That is so awesome!
Great car review, as well as the shoes. Which model shoes?
6:09 goddamn that is a massive engine cover for just a 2.0 inline 4 😂😂😂
They did it on purpose to fill the empty space.
I think you mention the cold cut combo just as much as you zonk something.
I was hungry! LOL
Just bought a Certified Pre-Owned BMW 330i and absolutely LOVE the car!! Drove the Lexus and Acura first - no comparison. Love your channel Joe, and this video sealed the deal for me. Many thanks, and Happy Holidays!
Hello. How are liking your BMW so far? I saw 2022 330i series on Autotrader, but also looking at a 2023 Lexus IS 300. I plan on keeping my car for a long time and I am concern on the long term reliability of BMW and the cost of maintenance.
Hi, and thanks for the question. Difference between BMW and Lexus is in the driving. Both are smooth and quiet, but the 330i offers a much more dynamic driving experience. Steering is sublime, and acceleration feels much stronger than an inline turbo-4. Just filled-up on gas and it shows 385-mile range with high-20's mpg around town. Overall, a really terrific car, and yes, maintenance is a bit higher on either BMW or Lexus, but worth it. One tip to mention - make sure the car has every option you want - they seem to be all separate on BMWs. Best of luck with your purchase!

Great review
CONGRATS ON 400k!!!
I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Joe you are funny dude. When I first started watching I wasn’t sure, but now I am positive. The friendless comment @11:20 was priceless.
I had a 330 and then a 340. I think I like the new M235i Gran because of the smaller size.
YOU’RE THE BEST REVIEWER!
Real exhaust,nice 👍
I owned 3 BMWs. Fantastic cars. Reliability isn’t as bad as what people say but I’m starting to lean towards a Volvo S60 for my next purchase. I know they’re pensioner cars but I like the styling more.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership!
Hi could you review the 2021 m340i? I’m seeing they changed the exhaust note but would want to see your thoughts/review. Thanks!
Sure will!
Love, Love, Love your reviews!! Regarding the car: I loathe digital gauges...manufactures need to bring back analog gauges...make it an option. I refuse to buy any new car with digital gauges. Joe, are there any sports sedans with analog gauges?? If there are, please do a review. Cheers!
Awesome video!! Keep it up
Thanks Gustavo! I appreciate that!

yeah major major zonk my 2016 Maxima Platinum has cooled seats but a 2021 BMW at $52,000 do not? 2 zonks one for each seat
Thanks for sharing that with me Melvin!
Our 2012 and 2017 Optimas have heated and cooled seats...and so much more!
@@shopwithaaron It's crazy!
Exactly even Kia offers ventilated seats on their Forte upper trim
i have no problem with your opinion yes i heard about the CVTs. l like the Maxima because of the V6 and 300hp. That high torque in crazy at times but the car is pretty fast. Most of those CVTs are older and 4 cylinders. l have not heard any issues with the Maxima CVT
26MPG city and 36MPG highway.. that's the best MPG numbers I've heard for an engine making 250 horse power.
It’s legit too. It sips fuel when you want it to. I’ve easily seen 40-44 mpg when in eco mode.
Looking into buying this, I am currently in the Carolinas but I am moving up north later this year. Do I really need an xdrive?
Besides fitting Doritos in the trunk, I would also fit Cheetos, and alot of cans of my favorite soft drinks Dr. Pepper. Maybe some Chocolate Chip Cookie Cakes as well. Now it's a party in the trunk.
I like the way that you think.
Thanks Alot 🤗
Hey Joe! When is the 2022 M340i review coming out!
Joe -- is the steering actually good? Any different than before? Vague on center feel?
Still a tad vague but definitely an improvement.
Looks great! Don’t like M badges on a non-M car but the rest hits the mark (marque!). What are the customisable options ? Thanks for posting; have subscribed. 👍😎 🇳🇿
That one is actually an M car...
@@MrBachy7 not an M car, it’s a 330i with M package (just M style body kit)
@@galaman12001 Yet BMW put M Badges on it.
Great looking grill
Doesn't this USA version come with a 40/40/20 foldable rear back rests, to increase the trunk space? And doesn't the trunk open remoteless by moving your feet under the rear bumper?
Can you please review the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XSE. I want to know how it drives and if you like it.
I will get it together for you!
Perfect BMW for daily commute in luxury, enough power for public roads.
You may of just hit the nail on the head!
17 cubic feet is a huge trunk for the class. Very nice.
WOW. That's a really good MPG. And 0-60 in 5.6secs.
EDIT: I just noticed my other comment from 7 months ago about the great MPG. -:)
Congratulation for 400k subscribers , you are awesome Joe ♥
Thank you Meedo! I can't do it without you!
Would you choose the new 330i over the new 430i? I know one is sedan and the other is coupe, but is there any other differences, in terms of handling, the way it drives,etc?
Following because this is what I’m stuck on! An extra 20k for a car with 350+ hp that I’ll never get to use as a daily driver vehicle.. sounds unreasonable to me
I bought a 2006 325i new, when the Chris Bangle style was out. It had a 5-speed manual and that buttery smooth inline six engine. I had that car for five years and 100,000 and never had an issue. It had a good stereo and a sunroof...beautifully simple. It was $35k and was a great value considering the quality and driving dynamics. I'm kinda sad to see how the 3-series has evolved. The newer models just don't seem to have that feeling that the old ones did. And that value proposition is gone-I'll be damned if I'm paying over $52k and don't have ventilated seats!
Trust me I know how you feel!
I have the 330i X DRIVE & it drives like a dream & GREAT on gas..
I’m considering getting one, most likely to keep for a long time. So far, how is the reliability? It seems like many people exaggerate about it, but it’d be nice to hear from an actual owner. Thanks!
I want a BMW and "12 inches too". I think I'd be ok with 10" though. Love this guy.
