- The BMW 3 series is getting some major changes for 2023. On the outside you will discover an updated grill, front fascia, wheels, and lighting. On the inside you will discover tech brought over from the 7 series. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 255HP & mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 BMW 330i the BEST new luxury sedan to BUY?

I love how BMW is keeping it real with the exhaust no fake 👍
Great review!! I actually think this one is classy and subtle!! I agree with you about the gloss black not looking good in the rear, but it does match the front.
I’m liking the muscular chiseled front end….but what I appreciate even more is you keeping the mph uncensored so I could really get a gauge as to how the vehicle performs with regards to acceleration and braking. Through the video it’s not always easy to tell so having the visible frame of reference was a nice touch!
Hey, Joe good review on the BMW, also I am glad BMW is sticking with more gas powered vehicles 😊😊😊.
I appreciate your effort of making all your vids your great joe big fan👍👍👍👍
Wow glad to see you coming up on One Million subs! Congrats Joe and Lori!
I own the 330i in portimao blue it's a 2022 I bought it right after the LCI came out I love the way the new idrive system looks graphics wise but I just like physical buttons way better.
Nice paint job
Nice looking car overall
But I just prefer the look of the pre lci
Keep delivering on those angles Steven. Thanks.
He is doing a great job!
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
Great review, all the reason why I love my BMW 330i
I am enjoying your channel. Keep it up!
I love it Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍
Great video 👏💯
Love my 2019 330i M-SPORT car is a blast to drive and so balanced all around. prefer the M-SPORT front and rear bumpers over these. i drive 8 is a step back from i drive 7 as well i think it feels to convoluted.
Excellent thanks! You the best
Great review of the 330i Joe!
Drove one in Deutschland and LOVED it. 330i is a winner engine. All I need, even on the Autobahn.
Hi Joe, all of your test drives are during the daytime. How about doing nighttime test drives to assess the performance of the vehicle at night particularly how the headlights perform lighting up the road.
❤❤❤Love this one! Thank you for your video! What a beautiful car!
dumb question but would you go with this or a camaro ss with perhaps the 1le package? in other words is the camaroa interior really that bad of quality cause in terms of performance it’s probably better or how does this stand with the ss??
Good job Joe. Thank you.
Between Mercedes & BMW, surely BMW for me 💥💪 thanks bro. for the review. Subscribed
Great car from my own personal experience with a 2020 model. For 2023 however, bmw should’ve at least increased it to 305 hp same 295 ft lbs of torque
That would put it on par with the step up m340i having 382 hp and 369 ft lbs of torque. Make it make sense. I mean they have touched up on everything else like the new LCI Botox facelift the fillers in the rear end. The weird gear shifter. At least give us more horse power.
Hey Raiti's Rides How Are You Can You Make The 2023 Bmw 540i xDrive Sedan Great Video Have A Nice Day
Great review Joe. I don't love the silver grill, I'd prefer it to be the blacked out shadow line grill. I like the gloss black rear diffuser a lot. I'm old school; I like buttons for certain features. I'd also be willing to pay the extra $8-$10K for the M340 because the power difference is worth it.
Agreed with every point. Coming from a 330 owner
Agreed, the shadowline gives the car a completely different look
Hey rati!!! I was wondering can u maybe do a 6 series review? I don’t think I’ve seen one yet on ur channel but maybe an m6 or a 650i I know they’re discontinued but I have an m6 and I’m in FL I’d love to meet up and let u review it 😃
Solid 😮 Do you think it’ll age well - or will the technology make out of warranty repairs seem disproportionate? And can the pumped in increased simulation of acceleration etc sound - be turned off?
finally a modern BMW with a normal sized grill, and I love it.keep up the good work joe you make my day
exactly that's best part about this new BMW 330i
This is exactly why a lot of people who can afford an m3 are “downgrading” to an m340i lol. And I’m all for it. I know a guy here who just got a new m3 and no matter how fast it is I can’t get over the grill. Lol.
@@OleMisssthat's just not true at all. Look up the sales numbers. BMW g8x models are selling double the amount per year then their old f8x models.
I had a 2022 230i with 4-cylinder and it was super fun and plenty quick (4.9 0-60)
Outstanding options in both the 230/330i
What did you do with it?
@@robsnow2099 got a m240i
@@voltaire9237 nice! Thanks for the reply.
Hey Raiti what camera and mount do you use to record the pov drives?
Having seen a similarly specced 330 during my recent trip to the US, I can say that it looks very good, except for that black glossy plastic part on the lower front and lower rear, I thought that looked cheap. Also no buttons for climate control is not ideal imo. But I am sure that it's a great daily driver.
It's a great daily driver but like you say, those touchscreen climate controls are a problem. After 5 months I'm still not used to them and it still irritates me every time I want to change the A/C or heated seats. Of course, only a minor detail on the whole, all in all I do really like it
your voice and passion is impressive! its like were in the passenger seat!
It's beautiful, I've always wanted a 3 series.
This will be my first BMW sedan also Joe.
Very Good Review Joe. The 3 series is a great sedan but i advised anyone who buys one, Get the extended maintenance/warranty and don’t keep it pass 70K miles. If you do, you are going to almost buy a new 3 series with repairs
Thanks for the great advice!
do you think 19'' wheels are ok for daily driving on a little bit bad roads, ok roads and highway ? i think 19'' are to big and tiers are to small, what about you ? ( speed will not be over 180mh/h)
One of the top ride reviewers on TH-cam fr fr fire 🔥
I'd say he's THE top reviewer now. No social commentary. No nonsense and he reviews everything. Not just the cars nobody can afford.
@@VanquishedAgain very true
Great video! I love the car especially the curved screen! Can you do the M550i Or The M5?
Im telling ya, these colours look sooooo good on these German cars. Gives it that sporty and aggressive look. Good stuff.
What are the best seats, Joe? What vehicle does have the softest comfortable seats?
My oldman has a 2023 sky scraper M550. Looks great with black wheels and red calipers. 330 is a better run about than M340. But M340 is monster performance wise.
good work joe
Nice car. Handles great, good power, lots of tech, no complaints here.
Beautiful car!
Great looking car! Just not a fan of idrive 8. I bought an X3 recently and it still has buttons all over the place. LOVE buttons!
I have this car in Oxide grau or gray from Ramstein, Germany. The color looks very similar, it changes a bit depending on how the sun hits it. 😊 love the car so far.
I just got my 2023 330i XDrive Msport, and I absolutely love it. My first Beemer. I have owned many vehicles and this one is awesome.
Would the xdrive with Msport be fun too ?
Drove one today. Fantastic
BMW needs to bring back the ice silver color option on the 3 series for nest year...no idea why they stopped offering it in 2023 as it's such a nice color!
Hey Joe! Formerly Golf King here. You inspired me to start my own channel doing my own style of reviews in my limited free time. I wish I could get my hands on some sick cars like you though! Haha thanks for the inspiration
If you want to be good at this you have to be crazy. Crazy in calling and bothering people and dealers to give you cars to review.
Regarding pumped-in noise mentioned by Raiti, you can adjust its level... You can get rid of it or amplify it or let the car dynamically adjust its level
Thanks for the heads up!
Yea most cars you can now but it's still disappointing that they can't just make the exhaust sound good itself. I know it's a tiny 2 liter but if Hyundai can do it, so can BMW.
BMW killed it with the Gxx series cars. Sedans aren't dead as long as they're still making them like this. I LOVE my G20 M340i.
Hey Joe two questions:
1. When is the first look at the 2024 Hyundai Sonata?
2. Will U guys reschedule the Live Q and A?
🤔
He’s going to think YOUS is stalking him. What do YOUS wanna ask JoeyBall and RAGULA will have her team ask his team? BUAHAHAHAHAH
@@ericB3444 Very funny CUB Blopp Blop.
It's such a shame they got rid of the buttons with iDrive 8. I have a pre-LCI M340i and use my physical buttons daily. The even got rid of the BMW preset buttons, those are so handy. Brilliant idea, sad to see it gone.
Agree 100% I have a 2022 M340i and purposely bought just as 2023's were coming out to keep the buttons and more integrated looking iDrive screen. It's literally the perfect daily
Getting rid of the physical preset buttons and placing them on a "swipe down" from the top feature on new screen for the presets ... agree, bad idea IMO. I honestly feel these large ugly screens dominating the dash requiring multiple steps to actuate systems in/on the car will go away. I feel that safety will drive this as it becomes more of a distraction to me than anything else.
@@wamhas9348 nothing against the screen but they should have at least kept the volume knob and climate control knobs
@@donaldsperrazza1074 volume knob is there still...and agree about the physical climate controls. So many people provided that feedback that the cars that upgrade to 8.5 will have the screen controls mimic the older physical controls for the most part.
Great video, I just wish lori would have hovered over that gear shifter. I wanted to get a better look.
Man!! This car is almost perfect 😮😮😮!!
I am so glad that you are liking this one Angel.
I still love those "sculptured" instrument panel.
17:51 does the white acura hit you?? the last scene was take-2
Nice video Joe. I would probably go up to the M340i because it is about $13,000 more but it has almost 400 hp.
I have a 340 on order and should go into assembly in about 2 weeks. I opted for the 340 due to the B58 engine alone. They "say" 382hp but it's probably that at the wheels.
If you wanna save some money this is the best choice great performance for the price
Love you Joe ❤ Always
Have this as a loaner while my 2018 750 air suspensions get replaced. I must say, I kind of don't want to go back. Very very very nice.
I think I like the Shark Skin color on the Camaro LT1 you recently reviewed more than the Sky Scraper Grey on the BMW. Would rather own the BMW, though.
Great camera work Steven, and great review Joe. What major auto show is coming up next Joe?
We will be at the NY Auto Show!
@@RaitisRides When will that be again Joe?
I'm super excited for the NY Auto Show Bro! Maybe Toyota will unveil some heavy hitters
@@chrisgelo1425 April 7th-16th
@@chrisgelo1425 I’m super stoked for the redesigned Camry,redesigned RAV4,and the all new AC Cobra bro!!!! They’re going to reveal the AC Cobra NEXT MONTH BRO!!!!!!!!
One day.....I'm going to buy this BMW sedan.
Gloss black on front and back bumbers are a major zonk! Just imagine the stone chips.
WOW NICE AND SUNNY OVER THERE OVER HERE IN CALIFORNIA THE BAY AREA NOTHING BUT RAINING 😣
Trust me I know that life!
Love my BMWs but this year passed on this for a new IS350.
Do love the tech here tho
The king of “guess what” lol
I got mine 3 months ago and I love it
Love the 3 series! I own a 2020 330i and I absolutely love it and it's exceedingly fuel efficient for a pure petrol engine. This new 330i (love the color by the way) is nice. I'm a foglights type of guy, I think cars look slicker, graceful and just more complete with them. It sux this new 3 series does not have em. I also love that you can get red for an interior color option which you could not get with the generation I own. But I absolutely hate just hate the new screen layout and the fact BMW got rid of a lot of physical buttons. Glad I got my 3 series when I got it.
Q50 faster
@@issavibez394 Yeah it is and it should be. I guess that means you win the grand prize......🤔
How's the reliability? They are great looking cars no doubt!
@@TheItalianDude96 So far so good and I drive it a lot due to the fact that my job is about 45 to 50 mins away going and coming. I mean I keep up with my regular scheduled maintenance as much as possible, which is how I got to experience the new 3 series because BMW lend me one. So no issues with my Bimmer but one thing I changed almost right away when I got my car was the run flats. I went with a Michelin touring tire, run flats are not particularly well for longer rides especially if you have more of a sport suspension setup they will contribute significantly to the harshness. Thankfully I have the M sport adaptive suspension to help out with comfort even more.
@@tonemack2981 nice, glad to hear! Always hear about how BMWs have iffy reliability.
Absolutely man, I’m a huge fan of BMW.
Awesome, Please make a video for bmw 330E - Plugin hybrid Model
Nice. Wanna see the 550i
Can you review the M340i?
BMW invented the sports sedan with the 3 series. They still make the best one. The 330i is great but spring for the M340i if you can. It's the sweet spot. Great review!
Thanks David for letting me bring it to you!
Beautiful and my dream car.
Beautiful car, my favorite. What about the TLX TYPE S
Joe, right off the bat, 1. Great haircut 2. Disappointed there is no designated Twinkie compartment in the bimmer 3. 32k to go and I’m rooting for you man
I like the way that you listed that out Joe.
Nowadays, an entry level 3-series costs over $50K 😭
@18:35 Joe sure the king for that section of the freeway! No one can beat him. I guess he can even drive that section blindfold. 😂
I love 340 ixDrive the most, but 330i is always a favorite street car
Joe you need to test the LcI M340i too !
BMW is just a beautiful car manufacturer ❤
You need to review the new M340i next Joe! 😊 I bought the new 2023 M340i LCI a couple of weeks ago and it’s absolutely brilliant. Possibly the best daily driver?
I am getting a 2023 M340i too
I went with the 2-door version with 4-doors (G26 - M440i Gran Coupe) b/c of the flexibility of the 4 doors and the hatchback style opening for the boot. Agree with being just the best daily driver. Combination of performance when needed, and comfort/economy also if needed. I'd be hard pressed to pick an M version over the "M-light" versions since they've done such an amazing job lately with the _40i series of vehicles!
That dash is a drag. I can’t warm up to the solid screen that takes up 2/3s of the dash. Also, knobs and buttons over touchscreens for AC.
Crazy that with options you can run a base 330i up to what an M3 used to cost 10 years ago
M3’s from 10 years ago are ticking time bombs, and we didn’t even know it yet 😂
My niece and her rich husband bought a 330i last year. They love it! The car looks great in my driveway when they visit. I’m far too frugal to ever buy a car that costs more than $20,000, but I can dream!
That is so fantastic! Thank you for sharing that Jim!
@@RaitisRides Her husband is a CEO for an international construction company. He can buy a BMW dealership.
LMAO you dont have to be rich to get this car. And nobody cares about your niece's husband you weirdo@@mycatlovesme159
@@porfiriato84wait til value depreciation kicks in less than a year and an everyman buys it off them.
bummer for no cooled seats...especially for states down south...seems under powered too with not even 300 HP...the only item carrying that car is the updated infotainment screen, which is sweet...
330i or A5 sportback? 🤔
Would love to see a review of a Lexus ES Hybrid F Sport Handling sometime.thanks for all the great reviews!
Stay tuned Andrew!
I like this !!!
Not M330i….last October I got my Brooklyn Grey 330e with m sport pro package …extended shadowline. The LED LAMPS with high beam assist DOES Not need fog LAMPS….Thats what BMWs logoc is! The shadowline packages comes with gloss black lip spoiler! Also comes with rear privacy glass and I chose the red calipers and Tacorra red cow leather.
No massively huge and fugly beaver tooth grill on it is a win in my book. One of the few still attractive BMW's. Nice review! Thanks.
I am glad that I can share it with you Abe!
Always be a nice car .
Should have reviewed the M340i 2023. An amazing car all around.
Hope you do a review on updated 2024 X5 & GLE350
I will work on that for you!
The acronym BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke GmbH, which roughly translates to the Bavarian Engine Works Company. The name harks back to the company's origin in the German state of Bavaria.
🇺🇸 *LOVE this NEW BMW 330i* !! *255hp sounds like fun* !! *Too many virtual buttons on the dash, deal breaker* !! *Would rather have an Acura Integra or a Lexus IS500* !! *Fantastic video Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
The Integra is super slow (but much cheaper) unless you get the type s. The IS500 is a beast but also like 65k if you can even find it anywhere.
Thanks Susan for sharing your thoughts on this one.
This is a very good point.
The Integra is a class lower than the 330i and the IS 500 is a class higher (more like an M340) so it's hard to compare them.
@@Another_User_Name_ true but most people that can afford to finance an integra can likely swing it for a 330i. So I can see the slight comparison to some.
i own the 2022 330i M sport. The car is a peach. It's smooth engine pulls really good.. and auto box is the best in the industry. The only issue is that it is a bit small for me as I am 6.2. But looks really great in my garage
Thanks for sharing that wonderful ownership experience!
