Driver's Seat Ruins Experience

I have never had back pain in a driver's seat in the 5 new cars I have had before buying this car. The seat is infinitely adjustable, but i can't get to a comfortable position and it actually causes sciatica pain.The seat does not line up with the steering wheel as a threshold matter which causes the driver to have to twist a bit to face true forward and also feels like it applies uneven support; a mushy seat bottom and hard and shallow seat back. The seat is smaller than in an A4 which may be a contributing factor for the seat discomfort for drivers with wider torsos as the BMW seat just can't comfortably accommodate an athletic build. Since the seat is uncomfortable, other positive aspects of the car kind of go out the window; $47K for a car with a terrible drivers seat?

The BMW M340 is an excellent car

I drove a new 2019 BMW M340 for a couple of days. It is an amazing car. It has very strong acceleration and it handles well. The interior is relatively quiet and it gets excellent fuel economy on the highway. Over the course of 350 mainly highway miles, at an average speed of about 75MPH the car returned 37MPG. One thing I did not like was the lane keeping technology. If the car drifts towards the outside of a lane the car is nudged back into the lane, which is fine. However, if you signal a lane change the nannies do not kick in. I did try to change lanes without signaling and the car reacted in a disconcerting manner. I was able to override the lane keeping software, but not before the car strongly tried to keep the car in my lane. In fact, the car actually felt “sloppy” and disconcerting when I forced the lane change without signaling. This could be problematic in a panic lane change situation. My verdict is that it is a great car. And, as long as you always signal a lane change you’ll be fine with the lane keeping technology.

I love this car! Sleek design! Super comfortable the only thing I would change is there is not a lot of storage space for things like glasses etc. other than that this car is beautiful and the price is affordable for a luxury car

I bought this 2018 330Xi after years ( and more than 400,000 miles) of S60 Volvo ownership. I loved those cars and thought I couldn't find a better sedan. However the 330Xi has been a real joy to own. Unlike others I have found the tyres and seating just fine. In fact the seat is better than the S60 as it is more adjustable and hugs you better. I have made several crowss country trips in this car, driving 1000 miles ( 17+v hours) at a time and feel relaxed at my destination. The headsup display, nav system and sound system along with the seat and responsiveness make for a delightful ride. When up to speed on western interstates I run in ECO and get 37-38 MPG. When in city, or high traffic areas I run in SPORT and get 32 MPG. Ya it takes premium gas but even so it crushes the MPG of the P2 Volvos and deliveries much more. Not sure what other reviewers drove over their life, but the 330 is a much better car then it's similar priced rivals. Bought "Liesl" as a CPO so didn't experience the top end cost of NEW and it was priced equal to or better than competitor sedans at 3 years old.
