BMW 330i REVIEW | 2016 330i Sport Line – A Refresh For The Executive Express
BMW'S CONFIDENCE IN ITS 3 SERIES IS VERY WELL-FOUNDED, AND THE UPDATED 2016 BMW 330i IS A VERY GOOD CAR, MADE BETTER.
Without tearing up the rule book, a set of subtle changes have helped keep the 330i fresh - there’s the new badge for starters, with the 330i now stepping in for the 328i.
It comes with a new engine and a few equipment adjustments.
Importantly, the new 330i retains the athletic feel of the 328i, the eager performance and a high-quality interior.
Vehicle Style: Luxury mid-size sedan
Price: $69,900 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 185kW/350Nm 2.0 4cyl turbo petrol | 8spd automatic
Fuel Economy claimed: 5.8 l/100km | tested: 8.1 l/100km
OVERVIEW
Externally, new head and tail-lights, along with subtly massaged bumpers, tell the updated 3 Series apart from its predecessor, but at a glance the new 330i doesn’t scream its changes.
Under the bonnet there’s an all-new engine - part of the modular BMW engine family that the company is spreading across its entire range. Once again it doesn’t signify a huge change, but it offers some slight improvements.
