Sad story, happy ending
1 month ago my g30 540i ran into an unfortunate problem... flash flood damages totaling 50k in repairs. Needless to say my car was totalled and I thought I wouldn't get another amazing beemer (i know overreaction).
But then my BMW guy put me onto a great deal on an Msport 330i and bam!! Back in business. So far added CF spoiler, mirrors, all weather mats, tints, black grille and black chrome tailpipes... all OEM. Check out some pix. Bottom one is me saying goodbye to my 540i.

Great looking car. Is your 330i painted in alpine white? I'm shortly before placing my order and not sure wether to chose alpine white or mineral white. What was the color of your old G30?

This looks like Alpine White. I think it better suits the Sport Line and M sport cars.
Mineral white is better with Luxury line package. |

Both were Alpine White but they have a few other great colors in the 330i. This one just had an amazing offer so couldn't pass it up. Thanks for the comments!

How are you liking the less powerful four banger in the 330i compared to the inline six in the 540i? Not to denigrate the 330i, but I would think it might be a little bit of a letdown going from a 540i to the 330i.
Great looking car. Glad you were able to get back into a Bimmer. How flooded did your 5er get?

That's a great question... the 540i engine was strong and smooth but the car was bigger and heavier. The 330i has good torque for its weight and therefore is quite quick. Its still real fun to drive and with the M sport suspension iit handles well. So there is a drop but its not as noticeable as you'd expect.
Now the new i6 turbo in the M340i is more powerful than in the 540i. That was another thing all together. I'd say if you've got the money go for the M340i but if you're looking for a good bargain, and good looking car the 330i is quick enough and looks so good! What do yall think? |
