good car but far from perfect

2023 BMW 3 Series 330e 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

I have the 2023 330E with the M-Sport package, shadow line package and convenience package and also added the Harmon Kardon stereo. While the car does handle well and is pretty quiet inside, it still has its faults. The battery doesn't really last long at all, although I knew that when I bought the car, I just wished it had a gas tank larger than 10.3 gallons, so it really limits any long trips. The trunk is pretty small, mainly due to the battery location. The brakes are really strong, but way too sensitive to me and take a lot of getting used to. Overall I think the build quality on my previous Audis were better, especially the seats and interior trim, but the BMW 330E is much cheaper, so I guess that can be expected. I also don't like when the engine jumps from electric to gas while driving on the freeway, it can be pretty harsh at times and is very noticeable. Overall, it's a good car but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Practical and Balanced

Great fuel economy, sporty exterior and interior filled with lots of technology with comfortable seating. The M-Sport package adds the extra character to the car and makes it an overall extremely well balanced car that still delivers practical power.

Effective and Efficient 4dr sleeper hot rod

2022 BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

Car handles great, stops on a dime, gets good gas milage, and the M340i AWD is as fast or faster than many V8 pony cars. Only thing AWD has too skinny and low temp rated tires, BMW should have upped this aspect.

Best bang for your buck at price point

If you can get this car at a good price you are getting an absolute steal! I got lucky with mine and got a spec’d out 2023 rwd M340i for a great price and I absolutely love every minute of it, it’s been around 4 months since I first received it and it truly never gets old, the power, luxury, drive quality, and technology along with great mpg all come together to make the greatest modern BMW daily ever made in my opinion. I can’t recommend this car enough.it has turned all my Mercedes and Audi friends into bmw enthusiasts just from one drive in it. Truly a game changer.

M340i is the perfect BMW--

Excellent design and performance-- the sweet spot in BMW's 3 series lineup. Mileage could be a bit better but is good considering the powerful engine and drive train. The car is fun to drive but comfortable for everyday commuting. The m340i is what most people buy a BMW for-- luxury and performance.
