Wow! You purchased my car! I got mine in the fall, same colors and I love it. Even the bow I put on it! Performed excellent in the long Minnesota winter.
Nice!!
Many congrats on your new vehicle and it looks really fly! If any two guys who deserve it, is you all! Been hearing a lot about how BMW vehicles have improved over the years and hope this one will give you both great service for many years!
Thanks so much!
Love you guys and your reviews! Please don't change!
I agree.
We appreciate that! 😁 Thanks!
Congrats on your new 330e! I have a 2021 330i and I love it. It's also my first BMW. Enjoy your new ride! I'm looking forward to your updates.
Thanks so much!
Ohh man that’s awesome..congratulations guys many blessings!!!
Thanks so much!
Oh wow! Ok now i will be honest. I did think about it being a PHEV when you posted your story 30 minutes ago. I wasn’t quite sure if it was bmw or not but i did think a little bit that it was german. However i didn’r know this was built in America. Yall made a very great choice.
Omg. I love it. This is such a nice car. Congratulations Drew and Mason.
Thank you!! 😁
Congratulations!!! 🎉 Excellent choice!!!
Congratulations on your new 2023 BMW 330E! Sharp exterior colour and the interior matches perfectly! Enjoy driving it! It was made to be driven! 🥂
Thanks so much!
Congratulations!!!
Congrats guys!🎉🎉
I built a 2023 330i Xdrive.Took delivery 2weeks ago.absolutely love it. Mercedes and Audi have a lot of catching up to do.
Awesome! Congrats! What color did you pick?
Congrats guys
yayy congrats!!
Congrats on your new car Drew & Mason!! Enjoy your new car!!!
Thanks, Nick! We appreciate it
Congratulations, guys!
Congratulations! I love the exterior color! You guys deserve a fantastic car after all of your hard work! 😊
grey - very rare color these days 😏
Thanks so much! We also love the color!
@@tinhinnh I’d go for this gray in a heartbeat
@@2004cyrus nice color but everyone has a grey/gray one nowadays 😁
Love this, I am waiting delivery of my 330e, I didn't go for the xdrive but otherwise the same car
how much did you get it from and which city?
Lovvve it congratulations on the new car🎉🎉
Thanks so much!
@Car Confections y’all deserve it
It was so cool to see this car in action! I ordered one in March and am still waiting....:( Apparently, they're having some manufacturing issues. But I know I am going to love it when/if it ever arrives! Again, fun to see it on the road!
Great choice. Great video!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations
Nice car guys ! Enjoy your new ride !
Thank you!
Wow congratulations 👏🎉🙂
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎈
Thanks, man!
Congratulations you guys on your new car it looks so beautiful I love the color of it 🎉🎊🎈🥳🥰❤️
Thank you!
Great choice, and love that color! I hope the detailed review includes a few minutes on the Drivers Assistance package that includes handsfree driving up to 85MPH. I am ordering a new X5 and am considering whether that feature is worth it for extended highway driving.
Thanks! We would... Except that this vehicle has 2 Drivers Assistance packages and we only have the first one 😭
Sensational content.
Congratulations. Stunning car.
Good for you guys!
Congrats and nice spec!
Great choice! I'm actually in the market for a 330e and would love to follow and see how you like it. I am not ready for a full EV....so this seems like a good choice. Can't wait to see your pros and cons and reviews. thanks
Awesome! Hopefully we can help you out!
Congrats!! I like it it’s very nice! I’m happy for y’all!!!
I love your consistent positivity D!
Lovely car guys enjoy , my dream car really, happy 4 you,s .
subbing cause you bought my dream car
Thanks!
Congratulations. Very nice color. Let us know how you like the rectangular dash screen. I considered getting the new X7, but the dash screen's straight and pointy corners bother me so much; couldn't get over it.
We like it so far and it doesn't bother us! But we do understand why some people don't like the floating look
Perfect choice! Kinda like halfway between a Model 3 or something like a standard 330i being all gas. If you guys end up doing the same thing with the Sonata N-Line I think the Buick Envista would be a great choice as it's very cheap and it seems to have a sporty dynamic that is very car-like on a budget with an admittedly upscale design esp. Avenir models.👌🏽
I’m not sure these brothers want “cheap.” Lol
This new 330e was $53k
And I’ve never heard of Envista but young people don’t buy new Buicks. I don’t think you have your finger on the pulse of what these brothers look for lol. 😮
@2004cyrus They are obviously two people who like a good deal. They paid less for their 330e than sticker, so why wouldn't they want something they can get cheap? Just because something costs less doesn't make it worthless or means it isn't quality. They also bought a base Model 3. I just made a suggestion. I'm not betting on them doing anything it's just my opinion bro like you gave yours & besides, they seem to be wanting more luxury, hence why they traded Tesla for a Beamer. A Buick is more premium & nicer than a Hyundai. 💯 Maybe you should try doing your research on the vehicle in question if you haven't seen or heard of it. It's been getting a lot of attention for being nice for the price. 👍🏽
Excellent job
Congratulations, very nice car.
Thank you!
Congrats ❤️❤️❤️
I love it I love it❤❤ Beautiful
Congrats guys!! Would have never guessed but great choice😍
Thanks so much!
I never would have guessed it either! I’m excited for them as I’ve also been shopping BMW for about 3 months. Lovely rides. I have a Mazda CX-5 currently - 1 year left on my lease.
Excellent choice.
Excellent choice.
Congratulations Drew and Mason🎉🎉
Thanks!!
Welcome to the BMW family ❤️💙🩵
Brooklyn Grey looks so good!
Good choice!
I’ve also bought a 2023 330e xdrive and am interested in your insights. BTW: I had dealer change oil & filter at 1,000 miles, plan to repeat every 5,000 miles with comprehensive multipoint check annually.
Hey guys. Congrats. It is a nice car! I live in KY and am interested in your config. May I ask how much you paid for that specific one?
Thanks! It was $53,870
Am new to this channel. Are y’all brothers ? N congratulations on ur new car
Hi Christian, welcome! We are brothers and this is the channels new long term tester, in addition to the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N-Line that we already have
Great choice but it could have been a used m340i too for the same price or lower, have u guys considered that?
Not what I expected but its really nice!
Omg I’m torn.. should I get this or a CX-5?? I like both but idk if I should get a sedan or suv😂
I really love that color though.
Congrats bro, rideo on👍 I also purchased mine last months paid in cash. While watching this video I feel very proud of who I am and what I've accomplished. I'm glad I made a wise financial choice that changed me.
Congrats you definitely need a load of money to own a house, you did it!
Thanks and big congrats on your 3-series as well! What color did you pick?
@@CarConfections the ash 👍
Here are some tips that helped me.
1. Plan towards it
2. Be frugal and minimal on spending (don't buywhy you don't need )
3. Save money towards retirement (Roth IRA/401k)
4. Build an emergency fund
5. Save to invest, this is the most important because it's a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success.
this is very informative
thanks for sharing this positive information
Really nice
You're going to enjoy this a lot more than the Tesla. Teslas aren't really a "fun" car besides the crazy acceleration. Sure they're fast when it comes to raw acceleration but they just lack in "feeling". There's something about hearing an ICE motor do its thing. It's just satisfying.
Smart kids. 😂
I was gonna comment on why not the M340i?
Can you get a different gear shifter
Are you sure you have the driver assistance package? I do t see the Radar in the front lower grill! How come your car did not come with the M Sport brakes?
There are two Driving Assistance packages and we have the first one which is less advanced and does not have radar cruise. Painted brake calipers are also extra cost
@@CarConfections here in the UK , the red/ blue calipers are part of m sport pro package. I also noticed that you don’t have the rear quarter privacy glass? This also is part of the pro package.
@@CarConfections when you say two, please can you let me know what comes with the package you chose? Also does yours come with blind spot alert? Thanks.
@@rajiv4972 just active blind spot detection and lane departure assist
@@CarConfections thanks. Also mine came with m color seatbelt trim!
Good choice, fellas!
Thanks!
Excellent
Sensatec or leather? I’ve owned a Mercedes with MB Tex, but am not familiar with how Sensatec compares.
This is Sensatec. It feels very realistic and is probably more durable than the real thing so we felt no need to upgrade to real leather
@@CarConfections Thanks. I’d probably go with the Sensatec also, although I should send you a picture of the leather in my 2003 Z4 to attest to its durability.
Any thoughts on when an upcoming 3XXe would have similar EV only range on par with 2024 530e?
We aren’t sure at this time, but may have more info later this year!
Good choice guys!
Aw darn, it's not the Volvo S60 Recharge!!
It was a close second choice! If the steering/handling were better then we would have picked it!
I’ve had a 330e M Sport Toring for over 2 years. Circa 30, 000 miles. Approx 10,000 e-miles and 20,000 hybrid. Circa 65mpg overall. Such a pity on refresh not bigger/ more effective batteries. Only 30 e miles when 100% … sub 20 in the winter. U.K. 🇬🇧
So overall, have you liked it or not? Curious to hear your take on it
@@CarConfections Yes it’s been a pleasure. Why didn’t you consider an i4 ? Seems more logical after a TESLA???
@@Lotuselisetube those are weird looking and they said in the video that they wanted a compact sports sedan.
She’s a beaut!
Can you mention any Negatives/minor inconveniences that you hate with this car since you had it? Debating on going with the 330e or Audi S5 Sportsback.
Let's see... Small trunk space, in screen climate controls, occasional rough shifts in electric mode
Now you're talking 🎉
Nice car
Nice 👍
How economical is it if you don’t charge it?
If you don't charge it, you would be better off with the 330i. The 330e weights a bit more than the i and gets slightly worse combined MPG
@@CarConfections thanks for that. Here in Ireland there’s only a choice of the 330e or 320d (diesel)
Hello! Are you sure it was disqualified? We bought one last year and got the tax credit. We wanted to buy another one this year 🚙
According to the latest info we have, this would have been disqualified starting in April of this year
@@CarConfections I was going to buy one because of the tax credit. My wife bought one last year and got the tax credit 🚙
BMW.....Bowel Movement Works.
Surprised you didn’t spring for the Harmon Kardon sound system…
They did… look at 1:11
@@alexandercura1523 the tweeters (in the window) would show the branding
@@ericbliss6354 no they don’t on the 2019+ 3 series… instead Harmon Kardon branding is on the door speakers (by the armrest)
We did! Having once reviewed a BMW with the base sound system, it confirmed that we would need to upgrade for sure 😄
Lovely 🌹
Hopeless after sale bought a new X5 had a burst tyre and company says that it’s going to take 1 month to replace 😢
Great
Having owned 4 Mercedes I can say conclusively that the "myth of German vehicles" is just that, a myth.
I’ve owned 3 Audi’s and it is not a myth to me. They were great. Particularly the Q5. I’ve had min for 12 years
They are made to be leased and turned in at year 3. After that warranty is up, drop it like a bad habit. I’ve been in German car sales for 9 years. First thing they told me on day 1. The Arabs love to buy them pre owned so they can feel like big shots.
Does this vehicle get the $7500 EV rebate?
At the time it did qualify, although our understanding is that it does not qualify any longer with the recent rule changes
i was hoping you guys would buy a Mazda, but i dont blame you guys for going up market lol
If Mazda brought back the Mazda 6 with the Inline-6 like they originally were going to, this might have been a different story...
@Car Confections I'm also hoping for Mazda to drop their new i6 + rwd-biased-AWD combo into a sport option. The CX-30 Turbo (black w/ red leather) will do for now 😉. I'm happy you guys also got something with red leather. Classy.
I bought a Mazda!
@@2004cyrus siiick which model and spec?
“We don’t have that type of money” you ordered a new bmw. That’s a bad investment you could have easily had the M340 used for the same price with less depreciation.
Wow
I would totally get one but…no more tax credit!! 😑
Screw the credit; if you want it, get it!! I just did 2 weeks ago!
@@2004cyrus lol I like your thinking!!!
Congrats on getting a Bimmer!!! I need my boo to get me one too!!!! But not electric!!! Those cars are too quiet and I don’t want my man sneaking out to clap his side chick!!! Sorry not sorry!!!!
Thanks!
@@CarConfections keep keeping it real !!!!!
အရမ်းကောင်းမဲကြိုက်တဲ့
I thought it was the hyundai ioniq 6
That was a good guess! We were impressed by the IONIQ 6
@@CarConfections same here, i was impressed when i saw it, btw what do you think of the new tacoma?
I will not buy BMW for 51K because in a year it will lose 10k from MSRP - you just throw out your trip to Bali. But when you are young it does not matter. Enjoy your choice.
That comment is unnecessary. Why you make somebody feel bad for no reason. What do you drive Slavoray Ebalsirog? Sheesh foreigners are so rude.
where did you get it from? did you get 7500 tax credit?
Yea they said in the video that they did get the tax credit
@@2004cyrus oh yes. but it is not available anymore
Congrats! Totally didn't think of BMW (I forgot it's made in Mexico...hence North America, lol). Was expecting a Jeep 4xe.
Ya, that made it tricky! Thanks so much!
Keep? They are too sophisticated for that junk.
53k Lol 😂😂😂
Overpriced car but happy for you guys
Immigrants think everything is “too high.” That’s America buddy
Do not compare to the downmarket Toyota, sorry downmarket Tesla. Tesla is scrap.
Congrats on the car I love your reviews! You said you guys bought it “together” if you don’t mind me asking, are you both gay for each other?
Thanks! We're brothers and this is the new long-term vehicle for our channel
I Love Volvo s60 or xc60
Yes, S60 was our second choice
Completely unreliable money pits! Break My Wallet BMW is NEVER EVER a buy and only a lease at best!!!!
Shhhhh
Lease is great. They probably won’t keep it past 3 years. Do you have to make people feel bad about their choice? I can only imagine what you drive!
@@2004cyrus 21 Honda Accord 2.0t Touring if you must know. Great bang for the buck and reliable on a buy, not lease.
i like 330i than 330 e
🥲 no (reliable and strong resale value) Lexus RX 350h. I gotta remind myself that I’m also in my mid 30s and people’s tastes and decisions vary haha
Be nice Chavez. They have money and don’t need to worry about petty things like that.
Excellent job
