For those on a strict budget, the 330i does offer a lot. What it doesn’t offer is nearly 400hp from a silky smooth inline 6. Without driving a M340i, you won’t know what you’re missing. Once you drive one, you won’t want anything else. This car’s drivetrain is the star of the show. It has virtually no weaknesses. Instant torque, quick throttle response, a smooth and quick-shifting 8 speed transmission with mental telepathy, and great fuel economy to boot. For me and many others, this is just a perfect power plant. The interior? I love it, but taste is subjective. Controls are intuitive and well placed. The infotainment system is typical BMW — complex, robust, responsive, and worth the steep learning curve. Plenty of leg room and head room. Seats are very supportive and well bolstered. Some find the exterior plain or without the typical BMW hallmark style. I think it will age well because it’s not overly stylized and doesn’t try too hard to follow recent trends (looking at you, Hyundai and Toyota). Adaptive LED headlights are great and, unlike another certain BMW model, the 3 series is blessed with a grille smaller than Lake Superior. Honestly, in spite of the relatively tame steering feel and highly insulated interior, I think this car is a modern classic that will earn itself a great reputation down the road. BMW has really improved its game, especially with drivetrains, interior technology, and reliability. The M340i is a home run.

I traded in my Infiniti Q 50 for the new BMW 330i xdrive Love the handling gas mileage much better than the Q 50 and just as fast 5.3 seconds 0 to 60. Only one gripe that lane keep assist is very aggressive maybe that is the way it should be put on the expressway if you have it on it is very hard to keep straight. But the looks that I get when I am in this car! Remember when you are driving a BMW you don’t have to take a backseat to anybody. Make sure you get the M sport version it really holds the road with those 19 inch tires this car is phenomenal I’m not sure how they rate the G 70 in the Kia stinger ahead of it just because they are newer cars the three series set the standard.

Smooth ride, feels like you’re gliding along, infotainment is intuitive and fun to use, safety features work well. Only complaint is the seats aren’t as comfortable as a Lexus for example.

Last two vehicles were '15 Porsche Macan S (delivered on launch day), and '19 BMW X5, both excellent, but a bit shy in the fun quotient. Now this new M340i...back to looking forward to driving....somewhere, anywhere. Haven't had this much driving enjoyment since my '99 E36 M3. This car does everything well. Both powerful and efficient. Solid (rigid) construction, quiet, and handles better than the Macan. 90 mph feels like 60. This B58 inline six mated to the ZF 8 transmission is incredible....every bit equal (imo) to the Porsche PDK. No more SUV's for me...long live the Sport Sedan. If you want ride a little softer, and don't need the 382 hp, the 330i is a great choice. Just don't test drive the M340...it'll cost you some $$. 14K mile update: Still impressed by the performance and efficiency....25.2 mpg since new. Gets 37 on trips. Still rock solid and trouble-free.

I love everything about this car. It’s comfortable, quick and handles beautifully. This is our 5th BMW since 2011 and I plan to keep this one for my daughter’s first car in 4 years. Our 2011 got totaled and everyone inside was safe and physically unharmed, that is why we are so brand loyal. This model is my favorite, it’s very fun to drive.
