Should I transfer my F36 430i lease to get a G20 330i?
I'm looking at a white on black G20 330i with M Sport, Executive, and a couple other packages. How is this car for you guys? What do you like/not-like compared to a 2019 430i GC?
I had the G20 loaner for a day, and I didn't like the dash layout too much. I thought it felt a little cheap, but I didn't have enough time to actually decide for sure. What do you guys think? Thanks |

I got the M340i and I am enjoying it.
330i might not be as fast but it's definitely quick enough. The dash is awesome. The I-Drive is awesome too. Touch screen is great, wireless Apple CarPlay is trouble free unlike what the reviewers have been saying. I also see a lot of reviewers say they don't like the BMW digital dash. I love it, not as customizable as the Audi one but has very high resolution.

Coming from a Non-BMW vehicle, the B48 4 cylinder is peppy. The Tech is more modern: voice control, the menus are crisp and fast when swiping. However, like with any infotainment system there is an adjustment/learning period. After this, the navigating through the menus and displays and adjusting the menu becomes second nature.
I configured my 330 with Leather WalkNappa Dashboard, makes a difference and is a more luxurious feeling. Rubber dash is too plain for me as I seen it on many F30s, F80s even with most non-luxury vehicles. I'm not a fan of Grand coupes, the rear passengers' heads get shafted so close to C pillars and sloped roof, if carrying passengers in the rear I prefer regular sedan or SUV. |

If you have another 5er as a family car, why would you want to replace the 430GC with a 330 sedan...? The 4GC is a great car and I personally wouldn't trade it for a 330 just becoz of the G generation.
If you want a daily to yourself, why not grab an M240? |

I like the current F36 GC. It looks sleek and purposeful.
I'm not a fan of the G20 front fascia and the generic styling of the G20. It just looks like a Camry or an Accord I also don't care for the new digital instrument panel. I do like how the center screen is better integrated into the dash and not tacked on like the F36 and other F series. I don't like how all the controls are clustered right next to gear shift lever a la microwave oven touch screen. |
