2023 BMW 330i review
The 330i is a good thing, but if you’re spending this much and ticking a few options boxes, you really ought to step up to the M340i.

CarExpert's Take
Matt Campbell
Senior Contributor
Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- A fairly complete offering
- Sumptuous interior appointments
- Now with five-year warranty
Misses
- Considerably more expensive now
- Ride is too firm, even on adaptive dampers
- M340i xDrive is just a few grand extra
