Why The 2023 BMW G20 3 Series Is One Of The Best Cars You Can Buy | Review
Рет қаралды 64,828
Күн бұрынThe G20 3 Series is one of the most fun, efficient and quick cars to drive. It represents wonderful value for money as it starts at only ca. £30,000 in the UK.
This Dravit Grey example is an M Sport Pro Edition, consisting of all available packages as optional equipment - Visibility Package , Technology Package , Comfort Package, Comfort Plus Package and obviously the M Sport Pro Package (as it's the M Sport Pro Edition). It also has the full M Performance Accessories including a rear lip spoiler, side skirts, carbon rear diffuser, front and rear bumper attachments..it just looks stunning.
I just loved this car, I really think it's one of the best cars you can buy today..it really reminds me of the E39 - it's refined, it's comfortable, it's quick but it's also fuel efficient and quiet. It's a stunning car.

Just bought a G20 330i. Love it. I really wasn’t considering a 3 series until I just stopped into the BMW dealership on the way home from work one day. I was about to pull the trigger on a Mazda 6 Carbon edition. Test drove a 330i and the decision was made. I had shopped them in the past and liked them but for some reason wasn’t even considering it this go around. I found a dealer demo 2021 with 4400 miles on it with a great spec and pulled the trigger. Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic paint was the tipping point. Something other than black, white or gray.

I know the UK and the EU have always, say, been more expensive than the US and Canada. But living in Australia for the last decade, it's bloody insane here. A 330i, with most major options (save the HK sound and several other accessories), comes in at ~$100k AUD drive away. That's $77k USD, $55k GBP, or $63K Euro.

The m sport suspension is awful on this g20 version and they know it, it seems they will retune it soon. It gets worse if you have bigger wheels. So either go for classic suspension, or adaptatove one, but avoid m sport ones except if you really don't mind it being extremely stiff.

Yes 100%, it's a bit more but you get an awesome paint, black wheels and all the contents of the M Sport Pro package. The RV is better too so for what you get, your monthly payment won't be much higher than a nornal M Sport. A 330d M Sport Pro Edition Touring sounds amazing 😍

If you drive a manual and then drive an auto G20, you'll know what I mean straightaway. The manuals aren't bad at all, just less efficient than the autos, less convenient and a bit annoying if you live in places with lots of traffic. The Auto gearboxes in G20s are honestly amazing - super smooth, fuel efficient (8 speeds in the auto vs 6 in manual), quiet, you can't tell when the car shifts and also really convenient if you live in areas with lots of traffic. :)
