Overall, I am impressed with my first BMW. The drivability of the car is exactly what I expected. It is quick and confidence-inspiring. The hybrid integration is much better than I expected. I seldom notice moving from the battery to the engine, as the transition is smooth. I notice a power difference when on the battery, as it seems to hold the car back. After driving many "T" brand cars, I hoped for immediate torque during acceleration but found it tame, noticeably different than when under ICE power. I appreciate the 20 miles+ range on battery only and am amazed how the BMW powertrain management system when in Hybrid ECO, can offer good performance, regenerate the battery when under ICE and coasting, and extend one take of gas beyond 500 miles. My only complaint is when the stereo is at full power, and then the screen is touched, a noticeable reduction in music happens. I expected a better integration of the software, and that is the only reason I deducted one star.

Great car but maybe not for all

Update after one year: I am close to exchanging this car for a A4. I don’t care for the firm ride and the run flat tire situation causes me stress. I have had 2 tire incidents where I had to replace the tire after hitting potholes. I couldn’t drive away as the tire was totally deflated. If you can’t drive on the run flats then what is the point? No spare tire so had to wait an hour for bmw to call for towing. Now I drive around with anxiety looking out for ruts in the road which is not a good experience. Note that I had the lower profile 19 inch tires. It’s a shame. The A4 at least had a donut spare wheel. Auto makers should listen to their customers - no one likes the run flats! Old review: I’ve had the 330 xdrive for about 3 weeks now and overall I am happy with it. My previous car was an Audi S4 which is more performance oriented. I wanted something more modern and more fuel efficient without sacrificing too much performance. This car pretty much foots the bill. For anyone that is shopping in this segment you should take a hard look at the Audi A4. These two cars are very close in terms of competence but they have different flavors. The bmw is more stylish, handles better, sounds better and is just cooler. However, the bmw has a firm ride that may bother some people. I got the 19 inch wheels and it comes with run flat tires that are stiff. I didn’t test drive this exact car so my bad. If I had known I would have chosen the 18 inch wheels. This is not such a problem that I regret my decision to buy this car. However if I lived in an area with a lot of bumps and potholes I would choose the Audi. The suspension is great at soaking up everything while still good at high speeds. As for the power it’s one of the best 4 bangers I have driven. At times I miss the 330 HP of my S4 but the trade off in fuel mileage is worth it. I am getting 26mpg now vs 18. If you live in a less congested area where you can really open it up I would suggest getting the M340. However, once you get this car up to speed it is naturally fast. It just cuts through the air. It’s natural habitat is way over the speed limit.

Purchased my 2022 330i X- Drive in October 2021. This is my 1st BMW and it’s just amazing. It drives and handles just amazingly and has been reliable. Gas mileage has been high 20’s in the city and low to mid 30’s on the highway. The pythonic blue paint looks incredible and the car get looks everywhere I go. The comfort of the seats is just incredible. I was concerned about power going to a turbo 41cyl from a twin turbo 6 in my last SUV (that had over 400hp) and It’s never at a loss for power. Overall it was a great decision buying this car and I would go it again in a heartbeat!

This is my first BMW, and it doesn't disappoint! It has a great drive, it is quiet, responsive handling and smooth. There are many controls and it comes with everything you could want. I added the phone charging tray station, and I am happy that I did. My only complaint is my trunk space is smaller than my last car - an Acura. Great gas milage with the hybrid. Loving it!

330e Delight

I had this car built full spec. A pure joy to drive. Very quiet in both electric and ICE mode. Purchased 11/6/22. My commute is 13 miles one way and I'm able to charge at both ends. After 30 days I pumped in 7.9 gallons ($32) and used 222 KWH @ .15 per kilowatt ($33.30). I canceled a I4 order and went this direction and not looking back. Between Fed and State rebate= $9500. I4 not eligible. Safe driving and ask Santa for this ride. You won't regret it.
