What Do You Want to Know About the 2020 BMW 3 Series xDrive?-May 2024

The is all-new for 2020, and naturally there’s an all-wheel drive version. I’ve driven the European diesel, an M340i prototype, the 330i four-cylinder rear-wheel drive, and now I have an 330i xDrive for a week. What do you want to know about it?

First, let’s go over the basic specs so we can facilitate some real questions:

It has a 2.0-liter turbo inline-four cylinder engine with 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic, and is equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive.Starts at $42,250 but mine is equipped with $10,600 in packages, $1,450 for black leather, a $875 stereo upgrade, $500 for auto climate control, and some stupid “Tetragon” trim that I hate which costs $250. Total comes to $58,220 including destination. ( I misread the spec sheet and reported the CD Player was a charged option. It is not. It is included. Really regret it.)Gas mileage is 25 mpg city, 34 highway, 28 combined.

So far all I can deduce from the xDrive system is that it definitely makes turning around in the city a three-point affair. I also am pleased to report I still like the driving dynamics of this car, at least in Sport mode. It’s pretty good.

Please ask some other questions. I got time.

What's the Best State for a Gearhead?
I am West Coast born, and that means I’m California raised. My nostalgia for the streetparked cars of my hometown will never fade, remembering ‘70s Corollas still used for commuting to rust-free Volvo 142s sitting with $500 for sale signs on them. But since moving East, I’ve fallen a...

What Year Is This, 2008?
The is a rotary-powered sports car that was produced from 2003 to 2012. It is now past 2012, which makes me wonder why Mazda is testing an RX-8 on the Nürburgring like it’s 2008. The RX-8 you see in YouTuber ’s video is the refreshed version of the car...

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams. Anyone up for some 2000s trance? I may or may not have had this song as my Myspace song for months. What a time. ...
