ABOUT THE 2023 BMW 330I XDRIVE SEDAN
The 2023 BMW 330i xDrive Sedan is the all-wheel-drive version of the core four-cylinder 3 Series, part of the seventh generation (G20) in its newly facelifted form. It uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 255 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm), with an eight-speed automatic.
The 2023 update
2023 was the facelift year for the G20 3 Series. The most noticeable change is inside, where a curved display combining a 12.3-inch instrument screen and a 14.9-inch central touchscreen replaced the previous layout, running BMW’s iDrive 8 software. Many physical buttons were removed, and the traditional gear lever gave way to a small toggle switch. Outside, the headlights and bumpers were redesigned.
Everyday appeal
The 330i remains the balanced choice in the 3 Series range: refined, responsive and economical, with handling that still feels sharper than many rivals. xDrive all-wheel drive makes it a strong option in snowy regions. The saloon seats five, and the rear seatback folds to extend the boot.

The B46/B48 four-cylinder is generally dependable. Commonly reported issues on this engine family include coolant leaks and oil filter housing gasket seepage. With the facelift’s heavier reliance on touchscreen controls, test the infotainment system thoroughly and confirm software updates are current.
Rivals
The 330i xDrive competed with the Audi A4 45 quattro, the Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic, the Genesis G70 and the Acura TLX SH-AWD.
