  • Updated BMW 330i remains a fantastic car in almost every respect, but now comes with a price tag that makes it tough to recommend 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
    For many years the BMW 330i has been one of the best options for those requiring a car to tick virtually every box: performance, handling, comfort, safety, efficiency and technology.
    The freshly updated G20 model does nothing to hurt that reputation, with a suite of talents that makes it very hard to pick holes. It’s undoubtedly a great car.
    Unfortunately, this excellence now comes with a much-inflated price tag, which only swells further once key options are included. For full details check out our written and video reviews.

    Im from America but im about to get this car paying about 52grand USD. The fact that this car is 100k usd In Australia is INSANE!! Deff not worth 100k.

      93k AUD doesn't convert to 100k USD. It converts to around 62k USD. Still a 10k mark up on USA pricing though, not including luxury car tax, on roads etc etc.

    Hired a 2021 330i a year ago and was amazed by it. Would I spend 100k on this 2023 model if I had the coin? Doubt it. I'd either get the 2020-21 model or fork out the extra and get the 340i as mentioned.

    One of the biggest issue of 330e is that it's EV range is only around 37km. Nowadays, even those cheap $20k - $56k cars like BYD Qing or Han DM-i PHEV Hybrid sedans have 55/121/242 km pure EV range.

    • @matthisalbert
      @matthisalbert ปีที่แล้ว

      nah it's more then 37 km. It does about 50 km, 70 in perfect conditions

    Are there any hardware differences over the 320i or does the extra power just come from pushing more boost through the same turbo?

    • @viktorshinkevich3169
      @viktorshinkevich3169 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know for a fact you could chip boost 520i/D to gain additional 40-50HP with a software update only

      All non m 3 series use the b48 which only differs in Software so yea, even the 318i can have 330i power which a stage 1 remap

  • @Jonathan0wh
    @Jonathan0wh ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nearly all cars (and properties, houses, apartments) are much more expensive in Australia right now because the global supply chain is still unstable. Cars and construction materials all need to be imported from overseas. And because of the chip crisis, many new BMW cars that come to Australia this year do not have options like 5AU L2 driving assistant, ACC, parking assistant plus (360 view cam) and Harman Kardon sound system.

    • @vMaxHeadroom
      @vMaxHeadroom 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Actually I think times like these gives the manufactures the excuse to gouge and gouge hard as a 30% price hike is way beyond the pale. The comment about the missing options due to lack of supply should in theory make the price cheaper, not more expensive.

    • @darrenwalker6854
      @darrenwalker6854 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yes but how long are companies going to continue with that excuse? It’s like they’re just riding the coattails of Covid to continue unmitigated price gouging.

    Trying to replace my 2016 206tsi Passat Rline with a comparable engine is really difficult given wait times and not liking the new arteon. Stuck between the price of a 340i which I'd love but can't justify the 90k upwards on dealer demo or new and interestingly came to the same conclusion as you guys. Pre face lift 330i with shadowing pack, just have to find one now!

      Sarcastic comment, sure, but a Ranger is not a car. It's a commercial vehicle bogans consider is the latest and greatest, like they used to with Falcadore Ute's.
