2017 BMW 3 SERIES

The 2017 BMW 330i xDrive strikes a fine balance between spirited performance, all-weather capability, and everyday luxury. As part of the beloved F30 3 Series generation, this model year introduces the new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine (codenamed B46), replacing the previous N20. It delivers 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of punch for both city and highway driving. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the 330i offers smooth, confident acceleration and surefootedness in all seasons.

BMW’s signature handling dynamics remain a strong point. The steering is precise, and while slightly lighter than in older BMWs, it remains engaging. The 330i xDrive manages corners with ease, delivering a composed and athletic ride. The optional M Sport package adds even more flavor, with sport-tuned suspension and unique styling cues.

Inside, the cabin is smartly designed and richly appointed, offering premium materials, intuitive controls, and a clean, driver-focused layout. The iDrive infotainment system is responsive and features crisp graphics, while optional upgrades like the Harman Kardon sound system and navigation enhance the premium experience.

In terms of practicality, the 330i xDrive features a spacious trunk and comfortable seating for five, making it a sensible daily driver without compromising its sporty character. Fuel economy is also impressive for its class, with EPA ratings around 23 mpg city / 33 mpg highway.

While competitors like the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class offer strong alternatives, the 2017 BMW 330i xDrive continues to impress with its dynamic edge and upscale demeanor. It’s a great choice for those who want a compact luxury sedan that’s fun to drive, refined in design, and dependable in all seasons.
