Over the years, the 3 series BMW has been the benchmark for entry into the luxury car market. BMW has built an impeccable driving machine. There are so many reasons the 3 series is the standard in the compact luxury market. During my week in Metropolitan Washington DC, I got a chance to experience this first hand. Handling and performance on the new 3 series were true to its legend. For 2019 BMW 330i has a 2.0 L twin-turbo inline 4-cylinder engine that makes 255 HP and 295 lb-ft of torque. This smooth-running engine has an 8-speed automatic transmission. It gets an EPA rated 36 MPG on the highway. You have many driving modes available including; ECO Pro, COMFORT, SPORT, and ADAPTIVE. You also get a superior active driving suite of safety features. The extended traffic jam assist is one of the better ones I have tested. BMW allows you to configure your 3 series to your heart’s desire. The M Sport package, the executive package, track handling package, drivers assistance pro package, Harman Kardon surround sound system, and so much more were included in the model I drove. The base price on the 330i is $40,250. With the options I mentioned and more, it came to $60,170 delivered. You also get free maintenance for 3 years with BMW.
