Nice car, but not as quite as the Mercedes. Engine leaks oil after 3 years like all other bmw models.

Trade in Lexus 2018 for this vehicle. Test drove Lexus 2019 (numb steering), Mercedes C class (feels like 160 Hp when accelerating), Audi A4 (Besides good interior lacks acceleration, numb sterring)...

I wonder when BMW will build a car to compete with Tesla M3.

I work at the US BMW auto mfg plant. We have a lease program, we get to drive many different models. That being said, I currently have the 2019 330xi. And I do not particularly care for the new design, the body style is sportier and not bad, the interior is to be desired. My biggest complaint is the removal of the temperature knobs, to the +\- buttons, the weird gauges, and smaller trunk access. The steering assistance is extremely annoying, so I deactivated it. The only new tech feature I like is the programmable climate control and automatic start. I previously had the 2017 330 and it was much better model than this. I prefer the the 5 and 6 series more. You definitely get what you pay for, they are far more superior cars, in every aspect, and very fun to drive. The 3 series is descent for the price, but not a true enjoyable bmw to drive.

INSTANT FAILURE

On my first drive after taking delivery on this 330i sedan, it veered into opposing traffic and the steering wheel froze. Two stays at the local BMW service center didn't solve the problem. This vehicle is too dangerous to drive so I returned it to the dealer!

Want Utility AND Fun?

I absolutely LOVE my 330i X-Drive wagon. I was lucky enough to find one with a blacked-out package on trim and wheels, with a dark grey paint. Gorgeous. But here's the really great thing about it: it's fun to drive! Surprisingly quick with great handling, yet every lux option you might want, including a killer Harmon Kardon sound system and an expansive extended glass roof. It is an UTTER SHAME that BMW decided to stop importing these wagons. Super bummer. I intend to drive mine as long as possible!

Reliable diesel - great highway cruiser

The car shows 5.4 l/100 km or 44 mpg! of mostly highway driving! I bought a 2018 diesel demonstrator and am very happy with it. The brakes don't last as long as other cars I have owned but after 96000km/60000 miles I have had to change 2 fuel injectors - glad I had an extended warranty. The first 4 years service is free and then they had a special on service so I am paying less for service than the Subaru I owned previously. It handles well for a sedan but the steering is numb - not remotely as fun to drive as the Subaru BRZ i had previously. One needs to put it into sport mode for acceleration and then it has enough power. (7.3s seconds 0-60)

Silver Bullet BMW 330i

Just took ownership of a beautiful 2018 BMW 330i in Glacier Silver. Beautiful vehicle inside and out. Very responsive and a wonderful daily commuter. Fuel ⛽️ efficient. This vehicle is nimble and handles corners and turns in a very impressive manner. Could not be happier with this everyday vehicle.
