Absolute waist of time and money

I bought a brand new 2021 330i xDrive on December 30th. Then, on January 16, the car was defected after driving only 150 miles. All of a sudden, the car stopped recognizing the key fob and the engine was not starting. Neither the main key, the spare key, or the access card were able to start the engine. All 4 windows and sunroof opened up themselves and could not be closed. The whole car system got locked up and did not do anything except lock/unlock the doors. The worst of all was the so-called roadside assistance who failed to send a tow truck and left me stranded in a parking lot for 5 hours! Eventually, I had to tow the car myself and send it to the dealership.

I went from a 4.5 in lifted jeep wrangler to this BMW and I am in love! It sticks to the road, it's fast when I want to have fun, loaded with safety features, and a much better fit for my family.

My first BMW, first PHEV and first truly sporty thrill ride. Since I've only driven Japanese cars I could never do a valid comparison. Two years in and I'm impressed by the way it handles, accelerates and just keeps you engaged in the experience. The combination of ICE and battery engines along with the smooth 8-speed transmission is an absolute delight. I've had no repair problems of any kind thus far. So is it a Toyota or Honda in reliability? Not sure yet. I have owned sedan styles in both of these Japanese brands and they are truly rock solid. But now I enjoy the drive much more. Since I own my own house the plug-in design is another plus. With the high speed charger I installed in my garage I can charge it every day and/or night and have little need to head to the gas station for a month or more. Yes, in electric mode it's super quiet, fast and much more economical than I anticipated especially for a sports sedan. I prefer it to any basic hybrid model No, it's not a cheap roadster. You have to have the funds to buy and enjoy it. But I have absolutely no regrets having made the 330e x-drive sedan a part of my life. Solid engineering, fast acceleration, engaging to look at and truly economical for daily driving. Oh, and it's an iconic 3- series BMW. You know the tag line. Highly recommended.

It looks great, feels great, and handles like a dream even on these crappy California roads. But when I compare the charging against my former Honda Clarity, I can easily say that German engineering is not keeping up with the Japanese. No pressure on the boys in Munich, but . . .

This car is every bit as good as it looks. The car is intuitive and the iDrive is easy to learn. It also drives like a dream with good pickup and great cornering.
