In Finland we can’t get the 330i anymore, the gas base model is 330e which is a shame because it’s a lot heavier due to the hybrid system. 330i is a great compromise with performance and price. Still the best design wise in the whole line up and it’s basically a 6 year old design with one facelift.
I was incorrect, there is still the 320i available in Finland as the base model but only in xdrive form. The bmw configurator has changed so that it’s hard to find what you are looking for. Before you could search by model and choose options. Now you choose by body style or by powertrain. In any case, they are purposedly limiting the options everywhere. In Germany they can even get the 318i which we never got. We can still order the 320d diesel. The next 3-series will probably be full electric since they are developing a whole new platform. Too bad we customers don’t seem to want EV’s yet but that’s what they have to do by law in the future.
we have them here in Poland... i think we have all the models for 3 and 5 series.. but i noticed that the X5 model doesnt have the 20i or 20d version here for the newest model just saying in case you're seriously interested in buying this model
And in Slovakia we have 320i xdrive or rwd, 330i only as xdrive and 330e. M340 no :(. And some diesel, but… diesel 🤢. And 330 has only 245hp. I have an order on 330i rwd from april 2024. But BMW deleted it in 07/2024 because LCI 2 facelift. I ordered it again, but 330i xdrive with higher price 😢. I was very unlucky. And I waiting still to delivery.
@ cool! It’s so weird that inside the EU the lineup is so different. It might be because we have an extra tax on cars and it’s based on co2 emissions so the hybrids or EV’s have an extra advantage. The M3’s and such cost so much here that you rarely see them. The tax on those is ridiculous. I have ’19 a 320i and might be getting a new one but the prices have gone up a lot in 5 years so I might just keep it. I’m glad I didn’t get the hybrid, it felt so heavy. For my need the base 320i is just fine anyway. Interesting to see what the next generation of 3-series will be and is it full EV. I tested the i4, it felt like a tank driving down the road. I miss the days when cars were lighter and had more character.
I went from a slightly modified 987 Cayman S to an F30 328ix at my daily driver. No M Sport that I wish I had, but the drivetrain is the same. Even with the first gen I 4 turbo, I can categorically say that I've never wanted more power in the BMW. Granted, in so altitude which advantages the BMW, but it feels almost every but as fast in a straight line. I've driven the V6 and think it's a great engine but overkill considering the efficiency trade off. But man, that digital dash on the new generation is pretty much a deal breaker. I'd go for another F30 just for the analog gauges and smaller screen.
Can you make a modernized version of the Chevy Trailblazer SS more interior and modern looks muscle suv with agressive styling nice lines and sleek slights muscle car front end look
Great review. Didn't mention anything about suspension though. Can you give some feedback regarding the ride comfort? Is that car with passive M suspension or adaptive one?
Also has the amber side reflectors in the front. Red turn signals are not a legal requirement but many imports still do it in the US for some reason. I think it looks cool being from the EU myself. Especially on older american cars it fits them just right. Red turn signals go way back in history when there was only one bulb in the rear doing driving lights, brake light and turn signals. Now it’s just a gimmick.
I can't make sense of BMW's new dashboard. Why do I have to use it like a fighter jet? An analog theme could have been added. There should be more options. Just pixels easy..

I love to watch your reviews
One of my favorite car reviewers

Its funny because in the US, we can only get the 330i for 2025, no 330e anymore for 2025.

One of the last few good looking BMWs left..
Pre lci though ❤❤
That color looks so good, red but kind of orange in sunlight
Still the best sports sedan! Nothing like a 3 series BMW❤

I thought those wheels were 20, they look crazy big for 19 inch.
Because of the smaller sidewall
Beautiful car, favorite sedan. The area you live in is beautiful also.

Nice Skoda!

Why can't vehicles in the US just have the regular yellow turn signal in the rear lights ?

It is looking like my car. But l have got it in the nice light grey. 😇

M235 still the King of compact sport cars. M235 0-60 4.6 330i X drive 0-60 5.4
I don’t like the new bottom grill, it looks too big for the size of the car
BMW advertises closer to whp numbers
I was thinking this or a 2025 Type R? Which is faster?
Are you joking or serious?
@ im serious.
Those wheels are terrible! Great color though.
those wheels are so horrible. bmw used to have the best looking rims. the rest of the car is alright
BMW in response to everyone saying their cars are starting to look like kias decided to add KIA design rims to distract them.
Needs inline 6... day don’t like the split shoulder line and weird Hofmeister Knick and black spoiler is bad,too . Underwhelming.
kidney grills no longer look like kidney shape, more of RayBan sunglasses
