The BMW 3 Series 330i and 330i xDrive come standard with a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine that boasts up to 255 horsepower. The 8-speed sport automatic transmission allows you to switch between Sport and Manual shift modes, depending on your preference.
Offering the same 8-speed transmission as above, the next trim in the series allows for a glimpse at what a hybrid is capable of. The M340i and M340i xDrive come with a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine that produces 382 horsepower, thanks to the eBoost 48V mild hybrid technology.
The M3 offers the most power of any BMW X3 model. Utilizing the same 3.0L BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine, the M3 sees an astonishing output of up to 503 horsepower.
The BMW 3 Series also offers two electric trims: the 330e and 330e xDrive. These combine the 2.0L turbo engine from the 330i with that of an electric motor, giving you 288 horsepower and the continued use of an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The interior of any BMW 3 Series is bound to delight any driver. With its automatic multi-zone Climate Control and leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, you and your passengers will be able to enjoy a comfortable journey.
The 330i lets you customize your seating position with the power front seats. As an added bonus, the M340i even offers a 4-way power lumbar support.
In addition, all four trims are compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ for seamless smartphone integration.
The four trim levels of the BMW 3 Series are also available with an all-wheel drive system, indicated by the xDrive after the trim name, as in 330i xDrive.
Although the engine and horsepower are the same between the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, the fuel economy will differ slightly, which we’ve highlighted below for both the 330i and M340i.
For the 330i, you’ll get an EPA-estimated 26 city/36 highway MPG.1 Its all-wheel drive counterpart, the 330i xDrive, can deliver an EPA-estimated 25 city/34 highway MPG.1
On the M340i, the 3 Series manages an EPA-estimated 23 city/32 highway MPG.1
