I’m 16, can’t drive, can’t buy a car, I don’t even live in the UK, and yet here I am, watching all the carwow videos just because of how entertaining they are. 😂😂
It’s a great update to the 3, the styling is so much better than the previous couple of gems, and it’s bristling with tech, but I’m really struggling with the offset pedals on longer trips. I find the right seat bolster squab really digs into my thigh if I have my foot on the accelerator.
have you got used to the offset pedals yet? I've had a 2nd hand G20 since last 6 months and even 10 mins of driving is triggering strain/pain in lower right back above bum and on the right ankle. No such issues on my VW Touran or while road cycling for 2-3 hours or running 5K. So I am fit but 10 mins on this car is triggering mentioned strain/pain; I am at the highest set position after multiple tweaks and its the best I've been able to get to with relatively least discomfort. I am 171.5 cms tall. If things finally worked for you, let me know what adjustments you made with seating etc.
I'd like to join in here. Bought a 320d xdrive 2 months ago for the daily commute. It's a LHD. The transmission tunnel is so wide both legs are twisted to the left causing pain I've never had before. Whole right leg is in bits: hamstring, butt, knee is all twisted. This isn't normal. And is never mentioned on car reviews, only on bmw forums. It's a huge issue. More than likely will have to sell car again. What a literal pain in the ass.
@@henrypark4356 Why are you saying this? no one asked and no one didn't know but what you said its also wrong lol. X drive has different uses and most of the x drive cars are not Haldex like VAG so no it isn't front wheel drive with power to the rear when slip is detected on the 3 series
The Kruxed you don’t have to be such a dickhead about it lol and he did not say it was FWD, he’s trying to say that it’s an AWD car but how much power is out where varies on the current conditions of driving therefore it can be driven like a RWD car
You want at least the first Hi-fi package for decent stereo. The noise insulation is good in the 3-series, as long as you don't get one with the runflat tyres. Oh and forgot to mention the aircondition blower is a bit loud at middle or higher setting, unlike in the 5-series. If you keep it at auto, put it to second lowest fanspeed, then it's quiet.
Had a Merc for 11 years. C180 (2012 facelift and a great car), C200 (wouldn't start when I went shopping one day - 6 weeks after buying it) and the C220d (replacement of the C200, this one left me stranded on the side of the highway with NO warning). Abandoned Mercedes-Benz and hubby got us The 3. I've never had this much fun in a car. I LOVE IT!
@@stefanmoraru9544 i got mine used from BMW and been driving for about 18 months. Touch wood no issues. I would say be careful with liquids in the boot especially on the left side as thats where the control modules are for the radio antenna and speakers. Battery is also under the boot floor with these cars so keep a bootliner or shallow storage box for any paint or water bottles. Its my first BMW, love it.
Just picked up the F30 second hand at an amazing price. Well kept by the original owner. Love the performance of the car. Looking forward to driving the G20 one day.
Bought my first 3 series a few weeks back and havent looked back since. Once this one has run its course i'll defo be in the market for a newer version.

Those USB-C complains sound really funny in 2024. Nowadays I no longer have the regular USB cable anymore.
so this was probably filmed a little while ago but the Apple carplay thing is no longer true. it is no longer subscription based. if the car has it, it is included forever at no extra cost anymore.
This review is SPOT ON! I have this car in the same spec except it’s black in colour and it’s absolutely incredible. Definitely an accurate and fair review of this car. It’s easily the best all rounder and certainly best in class!
Mat struggling to lift the boot floor to get at the battery is one of the reasons I love his reviews. It reassures me: It's not just me who struggles with stuff which should be so basic. E.g. when the instructions say, "Simply rotate this or unclasp that..." and it's anything but "simple."
Carlos Lago said the same thing about the BMW M2 (which I imagine would be the same as the rest of the 2 series). Mat has also said that of several Mercedes cars and I feel like I always get twisted in my Mercedes.
Bmw have forgot how to make right hand drive manual cars. They can’t even stop the steering gromet used to plug unused steering column hole from letting water in
@@arnoldkwenda4678 Really the only thing holding the 5 series back is that it's a big car and for practicality smaller is better, but I'd still agree with you.

The pedals are a little bit to the right because you are supposed to use one foot for both (the right one) and them being off center to the right makes it easier to do so
@@flexelsson1625some all wheel drive gives option to drive as rear wheel drive option? Like in semi auto gear boxes people use automatic in traffic or city roads and manual for motor way or clean road
Got my BMW 330i G20 now for 3 weeks. its absolutely fantastic. The suspension on comfort mode just floats over bumps, but in sporty mode it really feels like an proper M car. although it doesnt have an M engine. And for anyone wondering, yes i've drove an M car on track. Im coming from an BMW 330i (E90 2005) this is my second car, also first one with an automatic and the gearbox just floats thru gears and shifts perfect when you want it to shift. i've got the luxury line version almost full option. Such a pleasure to drive.
I’ve had an M340i for about 4 months now and I’m still in shock about how much better it is than my F30 335i in every possible way. My only gripe is that my passenger (right, in the US) side door speaker just started rattling like crazy at any volume when the music is even slightly bass-y. I’m hoping I can either find a DIY for it, or have a dealership 😱 find a fix for me.
8:16 BMW 3 series cars have had this feature forever and its literally one of my favorite thing about these cars. It adds a little bit of side support which is just great!
Tomasz I never said it shouldn’t , I just implied that lauding it as “ the best feature” is depressing - when it is just a plug. This is a car that has thousands of engineering developments to improve the driving experience and the best feature is ...a plug.

Hi Mat, you mentioned the USB Type-C in the back, I think you would like to know that there is something called "Power Delivery" it is actually a feature that allowing the charging port to "communicate" with the device you're charging and understand the exact voltage and ampere it requires. Without Power Delivery and USB Type-C (USB-A to USB-C won't work) you won't be able to charge new laptops such as the new Macbooks or any new laptop that comes with USB Type-C port. It is actually means that BMW took the charging capabilities one step further and I admire them for that!! BTW, it also allows for extremely quick charging time of new smartphones and the new Canon Mirorless cameras :)
Bought this model same spec and colour MSport today! 2021 320d demonstrator model with 3000 miles on it. Picking it up on Saturday. Have to say I’m delighted 😊
When the plastic water pump and thermostat isn't enough trouble for owners, bmw adds a new surprise mechanic feature which auto opens the grill to spice up the reliability once the warranties ends.
why do people keep on saying the bmw 3 series copied the lexus IS's tail lights, they didn't bmw had those on the 3 series before the IS did. because the current 3 series was made in 2018, the IS came in 2022, so don't say that bmw copied lexus when they clearly didn't.
I bought a 2019 330 a month ago. I really like the vehicle but my complaints are, the auto off is WAY to aggressive so I turn i toff when the car goes on. The gesture control is pretty much tech for the sake of tech and a useless way to get it done when there are more efficient ways that work all the time. Swirl your finger to turn up or down the radio... or maybe use the damn buttons on the steering wheel.. or knob by your knee.
@@asadbekokhunjanov5255 Is that in the UK? If so my objection to buying one of these will disappear. Waze is such a good system that not being able to run unless you change to an Ios device means I wont buy one of these despite how impressive they seem
Idk how well that “I’m tired” feature would work, but it’s quite clever. Though it might be more useful if it directed you to the nearest coffee shop or just said “WELL PULL THE HELL OVER, THEN.”
Got one last month it’s awesome best car I’ve owned. Brand new 43 grand got it for 26 with 5 thousand miles on the clock. M sport pro pack, comfort pack and x drive. Knocked the dealer down 700 pound over the phone.
@@ryantaylor5482 I’ve gone from a 2.0 TDI Audi to the petrol BMW. It seems good on fuel it’s automatic so 8 speed gearbox. I travelled from London to Newcastle used 1/2 a tank pushed it after Leeds as well. A feature really good is when u download the app onto your phone it shows u where your car is. So I suppose if it gets stolen u can locate it.
Great review.. I want one oh so bad BuT waiting to see what the New M3 looks like (always wanted an M3). Keep up the great work, your reviews are stella!
@@fredfredburger5150 the m sport non adaptive is softer than the F30 model. And if you go for the 18" wheels, they are non run flats which is a huge improvement. Sadly these are the positives. I came from the f30 which I liked more. Please check pedal position at 17:34 they are even more offset to the right than before. Sorry, I can't drive like that, his right foot on the throttle is pretty much flat to the floor. The M seats are pretty awful and the steering wheel is not quite centred as he mentioned (It was in the f30) . Probably due to safety reasons, they placed the seats more to the center of the car without changing steering wheel nor pedals. At my third 3 series after two F30 models might well be my last. After less than two months with the car, I am looking at various configurators from Lexus, Merc or even Hyundai.
@@ryadhasanahmed5443 neighbour parks his on the road near my house. Got to see it every day and still can't believe how the traditional carmakers are making such hideous adaptations to legacy designs 🤢🤢🤢
That sunroof is so small compared to mercs panoramic sun roof and it’s 2020! Also I see a few hard plastic parts e.g behind the steering wheel which Matt didn’t point out like he usually does for other cars. But definitely a nicer car compared to current c or a4.
The USB-C connectivity is good because the new iPhone Pro comes with a USB-C to Lightning in the Box, and the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro all use USB-C too. You just pull the cable from the plug. Most Samsung, Pixel, and other Android phones use USB-C too, so it’s no issue really.

New 3 series is actually so good
8:15 those stripes look purple from far but they are red and blue that’s cool
Bought this model same spec and colour MSport today! 2021 320d demonstrator model with 3000 miles on it. Picking it up on Saturday. Have to say I’m delighted 😊
Would much rather have USB-C! Wish my car had that.
That's what I was thinking, USB-C is the future!!
USB-C sucks.
Get one in 12-18 months when they all get handed back once the rental periods are up!
When the plastic water pump and thermostat isn't enough trouble for owners, bmw adds a new surprise mechanic feature which auto opens the grill to spice up the reliability once the warranties ends.
why do people keep on saying the bmw 3 series copied the lexus IS's tail lights, they didn't bmw had those on the 3 series before the IS did. because the current 3 series was made in 2018, the IS came in 2022, so don't say that bmw copied lexus when they clearly didn't.
I bought a 2019 330 a month ago. I really like the vehicle but my complaints are, the auto off is WAY to aggressive so I turn i toff when the car goes on. The gesture control is pretty much tech for the sake of tech and a useless way to get it done when there are more efficient ways that work all the time.
Swirl your finger to turn up or down the radio... or maybe use the damn buttons on the steering wheel.. or knob by your knee.
Big up BMW for not putting on fake exhausts!
Yeah unlike other brands
10/10 car just wish it had the signature BMW Angel/Halo Eyes for the daytime running lights
10/10??? Dude this car is garbage.....first Beamer I was ever in and was like wow, people really think this car is high tier....
@@andrewmiller2478 what do you drive?
Finally a car which priorities Android over Apple
How so? It doesnt have android auto at all
Just because of the USB ports? Because the idrive doesnt support android auto at all while it does support carplay...
@@unuseableb well the new 2020 models will have Android auto
@@asadbekokhunjanov5255 Is that in the UK? If so my objection to buying one of these will disappear. Waze is such a good system that not being able to run unless you change to an Ios device means I wont buy one of these despite how impressive they seem
@@grahamholliday9962 long story short, read the pinned comment from carwow
Mat says that it's rear wheel drive, but why does it have an Xdrive badge...
Have 2021 mazda3 saloon, considering going for 2019 320i m sport. Has less miles which worries me. And cost of keeping it. Worth the upgrade
Drive it as a fleet car ! It’s a stunning car ! Love it !
Terrific review. I’ve not seen anyone put child seats and a trunk full of luggage in a sedan. Very thorough and very well done!
The Burberry jacket looks great. 👌🏼
Thanks! I was wondering which brand it was.
alexahijado distinctive Burberry pattern lining.
Daily driver is a beat up legacy sedan...chipped to 170hp, love it. This is my dream car 330xdrive diesel stationvagon. Good channel👍👍👍
The new 3 series is a refreshing one for sure. Great in-depth review Matt. Pretty much covered everything!
Except the e boost thats avaliable in the 330e. But yeah
I think that it would be really good to hear a mention of what tyres come factory fitted to the car that you're reviewing.
Range Rover
Idk how well that “I’m tired” feature would work, but it’s quite clever. Though it might be more useful if it directed you to the nearest coffee shop or just said “WELL PULL THE HELL OVER, THEN.”
3:10 great editor you have there carwow 🤣👍
Got one last month it’s awesome best car I’ve owned. Brand new 43 grand got it for 26 with 5 thousand miles on the clock. M sport pro pack, comfort pack and x drive. Knocked the dealer down 700 pound over the phone.
What’s the mpg like
@@ryantaylor5482 I’ve gone from a 2.0 TDI Audi to the petrol BMW. It seems good on fuel it’s automatic so 8 speed gearbox. I travelled from London to Newcastle used 1/2 a tank pushed it after Leeds as well. A feature really good is when u download the app onto your phone it shows u where your car is. So I suppose if it gets stolen u can locate it.
It's not just an in-depth review... it's an ULTIMATE in-depth review.
Great review.. I want one oh so bad BuT waiting to see what the New M3 looks like (always wanted an M3). Keep up the great work, your reviews are stella!
3:07 Mat had "a bit of a wild weekend". That got my head spinning, up to the point I wasn't paying attention for the next 2 minutes.
I've got a 330e m sport on order now, should have it by the end of January. Very excited!
JW how is it mate
How is it mate we all wonna know 😂
Hows the suspension? (assuming you didn't go the adaptive m sport suspension)
@@fredfredburger5150 the m sport non adaptive is softer than the F30 model. And if you go for the 18" wheels, they are non run flats which is a huge improvement. Sadly these are the positives. I came from the f30 which I liked more. Please check pedal position at 17:34 they are even more offset to the right than before. Sorry, I can't drive like that, his right foot on the throttle is pretty much flat to the floor. The M seats are pretty awful and the steering wheel is not quite centred as he mentioned (It was in the f30) . Probably due to safety reasons, they placed the seats more to the center of the car without changing steering wheel nor pedals. At my third 3 series after two F30 models might well be my last. After less than two months with the car, I am looking at various configurators from Lexus, Merc or even Hyundai.
Title: 2020 bmw
Award: 2019 best car
Number plate: 2018
Number plate 68, so from Sep 1st 2018 to Feb 28th 2019, so technically could be a 2019 model year...
Couldn't care less, stopped the video when I saw that hideous grille.

Really want to see the m340i review
Front lights remains me of the e46 - Just way more aggressive. So nice to see some old design elements beeing refreshed
That sunroof is so small compared to mercs panoramic sun roof and it’s 2020! Also I see a few hard plastic parts e.g behind the steering wheel which Matt didn’t point out like he usually does for other cars. But definitely a nicer car compared to current c or a4.
Great review Matt.. I just watched this and ordered my 330e plug in Hybrid 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿🙏🏿
Great review as always. Please do a review on the M340i just cant wait
3:09 how to avoid becoming a meme material?
Matt: be a one urself 😆
I like the 2020 m340i Beter with 374 hp
Please do not stop the 5 annoying things about that car in your reviews. That’s the reason why I love your videos.
The USB-C connectivity is good because the new iPhone Pro comes with a USB-C to Lightning in the Box, and the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro all use USB-C too. You just pull the cable from the plug. Most Samsung, Pixel, and other Android phones use USB-C too, so it’s no issue really.
When you're in the back seats and go over a speedbump it is a painful experience
For a sporty car, yes
Thanks For Demonstrating *The Only Acceptable Use Of An Umbrella By A Man*
Mat Watson...great commentary and very entertaining. By the way, BMW rocks. Our 2019 650 Gran Coupe with M options is an amazing car!
Did just go ahead and buy one, Absolutely love it. Driving Pleasure 👍😬
Now I like BMW even more after watching carwow review
The ultimate driving machine no doubt in my mind
