BMW 3 Series Touring review 2020: 330i wagon driven

Is the BMW 3 Series Touring the perfect family car? Should you buy a 330i estate over an SUV like the BMW X3 or an Audi Q5? Does the 3er wagon beat an Audi A4 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class? Find out in this 2020 BMW 3 Series Touring review. In today's episode, Tom drives the new G21 330i M Sport in Dravit Grey metallic to find out.

Our 330i Touring: 190kW (258PS) / 400Nm (295 lb ft) / 2.0-litre B48 petrol turbo four / 8-speed automatic / rear wheel drive

What do you think of the new 330i? Is it the benchmark small premium car? Is it even better as a wagon? Do you prefer the sedan? Or is a Tesla Model 3 the way to go?

Let me know all your thoughts in the comments.

Covers the BMW 3 Series Touring handling, ride, engine, practicality and price.

Great review! Can't believe I only just found your channel. Love your work.

Thanks for this excellent review - wasn't considering a BMW and definitely not a wagon but after seeing this and taking the sedan for a test drive for a couple of days, bought one last week!

Good work and great review Tom the BMW 3 series touring is the best BMW I wonder if will get the 320d M touring

[jackcarline]

Nice review, not too long but exhaustive! I like your style! 👍
And... very nice car!
I’m driving a 2018 Audi A4 Allroad (great car too! ) but I just ordered the 3 Series Touring, M340d version (not yet in production, coming soon) ... I expect the driving dynamics to be top notch!
Greetings from Italy ... ciao!! 🤗

Great review of a great car. Love wagons! Wonder if we’ll get the M340i touring?

[MLife]

Thanks for the great review again. Wondering if there's a Kia Seltos review in the pipeline anytime soon?

I agree, station wagons look so much cooler than your standard suv. The v90, audi Avant and even the old commodore wagons looked so awesome! Glad bmw brought these .
Only wished it had a more powerful engine spec option

Thorough review again thanks Tom, would be a perfect car to replace my wife’s Skoda superb estate

[zaamuro]

Some sideways spirited drivign there Tom ;)

The 330i does not make the diesel equivalent redundant. 8 litres per 100km is less than 30mpg; the diesel 330d will give you well over 40mpg (and a lot more than that if driven conservatively). It also has a 6 cylinder engine and loads more torque at lower revs.

Thanks Tom.. I had the 320 GT some years ago (best car ever driven) and the X1 after that. Unfortunately I do not drive BMW today. The next one will be the 3 Touring (2022 hopefully). Motor yet to be decided.

[mark_nz]

I took one for a test drive (used) and it is a real weapon. Felt like it had 300hp to me but it’s all that torque…no doubt the m340i is the start but also much more expensive. Would be totally happy with this!!!

Great review. I have a manual 3 series wagon with the 3.0L 6. Let’s hope bmw brings back the 6 to the wagon. I just can’t get excited about a 4 cylinder car, especially not for this price. 4 cylinders to me denote econoboxes. Thanks for the super input though.

Very nice review - I can relate to all that is said as I too have a Dravit Grey with Cognac interior 330i sedan which I also ordered with Visibility Package and a sunroof. This is my fifth BMW but by far the best. Recent 2500 km interstate trip using assisted driving and some capital city driving, gave an incredible 5.5 litres/100km. This for a 190 kw motor with stacks of performance is outstanding. The standard equipment for the price is very good and why would anyone want a more expensive, heavier SUV?
