    I have a ‘19 330i that I got in June ‘22 with 25k miles. I have 110k now and only had 3 issues. Heat management went out at 34k miles and started to overheat.. fuel line went out at 50k and at 100k the evap canister had to be replaced all under warranty. Other than that it’s been very reliable and no issues. *update* at 117k miles now and my motor mounts are starting to leak. Need new rear break pads (dealer says rotors are still good) and my radiator shutters are starting to act up causing check engine light to come on and off when it wants to.

      Besides the warranty what was the cost of maintenance I’m considering between a 330i or an Acura integra (basically a Honda) also what’s insurance looking like I’m 20 so insurance isn’t gonna be very cheap

      @@kkuski1489I only paid for oil changes ($130 each) most dealers at least in CA offer 3 oil changes for $225ish. Because I drove so much I’ve gone through so many tires and rims because of pot holes. Rims don’t feel the same even when repaired so better to just get a new rim. Thinking about changing to regular tires than run flats that way they are more durable during impact.

    Great review! I had a 2019 in Mediterranean blue and just bought a 2022 in Melbourne Red. I agree with every one of your 5 likes and dislikes as well as your driving impressions and comments on the looks. I’m wondering if my engine burbles. I rarely drive in sport, but when I do it shocks me how fast it is. Don’t know if you mentioned how great the gas mileage is? I get about 40 highway and around 35 combined. Love it.

    The car DOES have a sunglasses holder. It’s to the left of the steering wheel…there’s a little cubby for sunglasses.
    Heated seats in the front is a $500 option, to add the rears is another $350, unless you do the premium package then the front seats are heated but the rears are still a $350 option.
    I have black Vernasca leather in my 330i and it doesn’t really show crumbs in the thigh extender pullout as much as a light interior would.
    I agree with the stereo adjustments. The upgraded Harman Kardon system has more adjustments but that’s an $875 upgrade and is a rare find on a 330i. Since the chip shortage, I’m not sure if you can even get it. Might have to go up to an M340i.

      Tighter suspension, smaller “sportier” steering wheels, shadow line exterior… it drives a bit tighter, but this 330i in just the basic/convenience package is more than adequate.

    How is this "entry level" :D 318-320 are entry level, I doubt you will be able to throw the rear out (on dry roads) on the 318 but they are the real entry level 3s.
