- Another review of 3 series, this time 330i M Sport. I go really in depth to find out how it is to live with this mid range family saloon/ sedan.
Have a look at my reviews of 340i and 330e!

I have a 330i M Sport with pretty much all the options, including adaptive suspension, laser lights, etc. Mine is a 2019 so doesn't suffer from the chip-shortage strip-out of desirable features. I think it's all the car you need in almost all circumstances on the road. I say this from a background of owning many high-performance and luxury cars over three decades (I still have a supercharged Jaguar XF which I'm loathe to part with). I didn't buy it for track days. I wanted that Goldilocks car - something not too big for town use, well built, civilised to ride in, economical to run and safe - but still great fun to drive. I tried the obvious suspects - Audi A4, Mercedes C300, Jaguar XE, Alfa Giulia Veloce - I might have have bought the Alfa if it wasn't for the residuals (I've wasted a lot of money on Italian cars over the years). The BMW seemed well ahead on a broad range of considerations, and I've been very pleased with the choice I made. My only real grumble is that the ride is too hard around town even in Comfort. I had expected the Adaptive mode to make it more supple (and I still don't understand why Adaptive can't be made the default mode on start-up!). I blame this partly on the run-flat tyres (P Zeros on my car). In Sport(+) it's great on smooth surfaces but too hard if you're pressing hard on bumpy bends and corners as there isn't enough compliance to prevent some skip and vertical movement in the suspension. Jaguar does this better. The only other gripe is that I still haven't got used to the main instrument panel and backwards rev counter. It lacks the finesse and customisation of Audi and Mercedes. Those things apart, I think it is indeed 'almost perfect'.
Thank you for detailed comment. I’m sure it will help someone.
try 18 inch m rims

@@destinationam I’m sure it would make a positive difference, but I’m not prepared to spend the money. I’ll switch to non-run flat tyres when I change out the original PZeros next year.
The non-runflat Michelin pilot sport will transform the car for u...
had a 328i F30 for 10 years, still happy!
Thanks for this review. This is a sweet car with a sweet motor.
I use it to drive it to work .. and my wife uses it to drop kids and to take it shopping etc. we have only one car.. this is so good, puts a smile on my face everyday … I have to say that you need to get the one with adaptive suspension… that makes it sooo comfortable on bad roads. And for bonus, it’s quite silent on freeways
Perfect owner’s summary. Thanks. Regards
Some write here that adaptive susp. is not so comfortable at all.
A very interesting & informative video well done 👍👍
Enjoyed the review and note your comment about the G series chassis. If you can convince your dealer have a test drive in an M240i - it’s an absolute flying machine and is based on the G series chassis too, however before I give you my thoughts on the comparison to my M2C it would be good to hear how you felt it performed. Cheers, Kevin.
Thanks Kevin. I’m hoping to get 2 series at some point. G series gives a lot confidence on the road but it’s not M2. They might be quicker but to me it’s not about speed. I like the drama.
@@MDrives you and I think alike, the drama is there in the M2😱👍
I love the 3 serious.
😂🫣
i was stood at the rear of one the other day when it fired up, and my wife asked me why it had 'growled'.
now it's NO C63, but neither is an m2 for that matter, horses for courses.
Of course.
Ok can you make next review video on travel sickness pill types please? I think I need that in my glove box just in case.
Good review…I’ve just bought a 330i 2022 today
I’ve already started to research how to delete the synthetic engine noise!
Love the car though
Nice. Congrats. Does it have the curved screen?
@@MDrives no unfortunately it’s a 2022. Still classy though
Personally I prefer the older ones. I think the new curved ones moving too far away from a traditional car look inside.
You never mentioned the M Sport characteristics of even mention it all except for the video title. So was it M Sport packaged or not?
I think its got m sport styling only
@@thedonkilluminati96 Mine actually has the M-Sport suspension and exhaust as well. A little bumpy but very fun in the corners and sounds pretty good. 👍🏻
Love it.
3 serious 😂
Hilarious 🤣
😂😂😂
13:00 it's NOT a boy racers car, IF you want that at bottom, mid, and top end, you don't want a 330i
It’s not about boy racer but engine characteristics
Why so serious 👀🤣
😤 you guys will never let this one go 😂
Can’t tell if he’s German or british
Neither
Since you are not a race car driver, that explains why you don't know how to launch a car. The 330i is a turbo car, so to launch a turbo car, while depressing and holding the brakes raise the RPM to allow the turbo to build pressure. Once the turbo has built pressure release the brakes. This will launch the car and you will get that awe you are looking for and the "G" force will pin you to your seat
Thank you 😉
Nobody is going to do that on the street in daily driving. His test was much more realistic daily scenario where you mat it from the lights.
Sorry, Is the commentary dubbed? I find it very offputting.
No
You are the perfect application of the acronym SMH
It's a SERIES, not a SERIOUS !!!! 😂😂😂😂
What it is, it’s my terrible accent 😉
@@MDrives 👍
why so serious ? 😂 have a bit of fun
@AnakinLi314 😅🤦♂️
you dont know how to launch it man...
You’re right. That wasn’t a proper launch.
Jeez, I do not like this review. This "3-serious"-man doesn't seem to know all the ins and outs of the car. So don't review it!
I’m sorry. I can’t please everyone. Regards 👋
Horrendous review, show around the car not just you driving, the occasional b roll of the car is not good enough, you hardly showed the back, the boot or the seats down
Unfortunately I was a bit limited to what I could do in the timeframe I had. I hope you will enjoy my other reviews which are far more in depth.
