2020 BMW 330 review

1. Energetic powertrain

If you're looking for a sporty sedan to help liven up your commute, you'll love the 2020 BMW 330's energetic performance. Anchoring the 2020 330 is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder that generates 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive comes standard or you can opt for BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system for more precision on less-cooperative driving conditions. This luxury sedan is incredibly fast off the line, too, reaching 60 mph in an estimated 5.6 seconds with rear-wheel drive. A sharp-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth performance or you can use the standard steering wheel paddle shifters to feel more engaged with the road.

2. Luxurious interior features

The 2020 BMW 3 Series' interior features a modern design and luxurious amenities to help you feel at home while on the road. The standard front sport seats are well-bolstered and supportive, plus they offer 14-way power adjustments, so it's easy to get comfortable. Supple leatherette upholstery comes standard in the 2020 330i, or you can choose rich Vernasca leather as an option. Up above, a standard two-way power glass moonroof fills the cabin with natural light and includes a sunshade with one-touch operation. If you're an audiophile, you'll love the crisp, clean sound that comes from the 10-speaker hi-fi sound system while you enjoy your playlists as you drive.

3. Plentiful space

The BMW 3 Series is a five-passenger compact luxury sport sedan—but, don't let the word compact hold you back. With a wheelbase spanning 112.2 inches long, this 2020 sedan offers lots of space, especially in the rear seat with 37.6 inches of headroom and 35.2 inches of legroom. With 17 cubic feet of trunk space, the 2020 330 has incredible cargo-carrying abilities for a sedan. It can swallow up three larger suitcases or easily carry your golf clubs for a day on the greens. The 2020 330i also includes standard 40/20/40-split fold-down rear seats to pack longer items, like skis or a snowboard.

4. Advanced connectivity

Staying connected, whether with the office, family, or friends, is easy in the 2020 BMW 330 thanks to its advanced connectivity features. All models come standard with Live Cockpit Plus, which uses an iDrive system with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display with voice recognition. Here you'll have easy access to the standard navigation system and hands-free Bluetooth capabilities, as well as Apple CarPlay connectivity. Opting for the Live Cockpit Pro package will get you more features, like a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen display. Other available options include a wireless phone charging pad and gesture features that let you input certain commands by using hand motions.

5. Useful driver aids

With the 2020 BMW 330 as your chariot, you'll benefit from many standard driver-assist features to help you on your daily commute. All models include Active Guard with Frontal Collison Warning, Automatic City Collision Mitigation, and Lane Departure Warning to inspire confidence on busy highways or congested streets. For even more driver aids, you can add optional lane-departure warning, as well as rear-collision protection and cross-traffic alert.
