    BMW 3 Series GT 330i Luxury Line Review

    It’s interesting how the traditional executive sedan is slowly losing favour of late, getting displaced by fancier crossover offerings including compact SUVs and four-door coupes. This could make the new BMW 3 Series GT range seem like a more tempting proposition for those in search for both looks and functionality.

    What is it?

    It’s interesting how the traditional executive sedan is slowly losing favour of late, getting displaced by fancier crossover offerings including compact SUVs and four-door coupes. This could make the new BMW 3 Series GT range seem like a more tempting proposition for those in search for both looks and functionality. 

    The 3 Series GT, as the name suggests, is more of a grand tourer, one that’s considerably more luxurious and substantial-looking than the regular 3 sedan. Having recently tested the 320d GT (click here to read), it's now time to sample the 330i GT which marks the return of the hugely admired ‘330i’ trim previously sold with the E90 generation 3 Series. 

    The 3 Series is a CarWale favourite, winning our comparison test last year against the C-Class and the S60 (you can read about it here), and the 330i GT shares many of its positive attributes, including the looks. What stands out in the GT though, are the frameless windows, the coupe-like stance and the prominent sloping roofline. The 18-inch multi-spoke alloys are beautifully designed while smaller details such as the sharp looking LED headlights and taillights ensure that the 330i stands out. The rear spoiler, which extends and slides back into the bodywork depending on the speed, could be seen as a bit of a gimmick, but it certainly doesn’t look out of place. 

    How is it on the inside?

    The cabin’s design and layout is more or less like the regular 3 Series, meaning it has a quality feel with soft plastics on the dash and doors. The 330i also gets plenty of brushed silver trim and contrasting inserts that uplift the cabin ambience compared to the typical sea of black. The quality, fit and finish, therefore, is suitably top notch and worthy of the premium price that the GT demands. What’s not so impressive is the overall design. Sure, it’s all very conveniently laid out but we would have certainly liked some more flair – there’s hardly anything here which hints at the firepower under the hood. The 330i Luxury Line trim also lacks the rather beautifully made 3-spoke M steering wheel that comes as a standard in the 320D M Sport.  

    What it does get from other BMWs is the latest version of iDrive and a different centre display. Featuring a flatter design and narrower frame, this new display is unarguably better looking and higher in quality. 

    The GT’s cabin has an airy feel to it, something that cannot be said for the regular 3 Series. The sense of space is down to the combination of the car's large glasshouse and the panoramic sunroof, plus the fact that there is legitimately a lot of space. Speaking of which, the front seats are adequately snug with plenty of under-thigh and shoulder support, however, it’s at the rear where the GT truly shines – legroom and headroom is exceptional and the backrest is well contoured as well. And because of the longer wheelbase, the 3 GT matches the outgoing gen 5 Series for legroom and under-thigh support which is impressive indeed. 

    Being a notchback, the 330i GT comes with a generously large boot which can hold 520-litres of gear. If that’s not impressive enough, the rear seats can be individually folded down to liberate as much as 1600-litres of cargo area, making the 3 GT immensely practical.

    How does it drive?

    Whereas the E90 330i packed a sweet revving in-line 6 motor, the new 330i GT makes use of a 1998cc, turbocharged 4-cylinder unit which makes a healthy 252bhp at 5,200rpm but more crucially, 350Nm of torque is tapped from low down the rev range (1450-4800rpm, in fact). This engine is mated to ZF’s evergreen 8-speed single clutch gearbox that’s scattered across BMW’s range. 

    While it's not as quick as an M3, the 330i is willing and brilliant for ducking in and out of city streets, with hardly any turbo lag noticeable between light to medium throttle inputs. Better still, the engine is supremely refined and up till 5,000rpm and thereabout, totally devoid of any vibrations whatsoever. It’s only when you punch it out of the blocks that you will find some turbo lag down low, but once above 3,000rpm the acceleration is effortless with nice mid-range pull that doesn’t leave you wheezing for revs. Its no surprise that the 330i turned out to be plenty quick during our performance tests. In fact, it dispatched the 0-100kmph sprint in just 6.31 seconds, hitting 150kmph in an equally impressive 13.18 seconds. In gear, too, the acceleration is strong with 40-100kmph and 20-80kmph coming up in 4.96 and 3.94 seconds respectively. 

    The strong performance is no doubt aided by the exceptionally smooth and slick shifting 8-speed automatic. This single clutch gearbox is equally happy to be used to zip around town or wind up to the redline when needed.  Drivability around the town is superb since there’s no lurching in stop/start traffic – a big plus for those who tackle rush hour traffic daily. 

    The various driving modes inhere include the usual suite – Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport+, with each behaving exactly as expected. In Eco Pro, the throttle response is suitably dull and the gearbox, too, upshifts at the earliest. Things get better in Comfort mode which maintains a fine balance between decent economy and relentless performance. The engine and the gearbox are fully charged up in Sport and Sport+, delivering sharp throttle response and slick gearshifts. 

    With 8 gears and an impressively wide power-band, the 330i is a very comfortable cruiser. Its long-distance ability is supplemented with refined dynamics and a hushed cabin - road noise is kept to a minimum even at highway speeds. More importantly, the low speed ride is surprisingly plush and absorbent despite the lack of adaptive dampers. Having said that, the unusually soft suspension setup (for a BMW, that is) can be felt at high speeds. The highways and expressways offer up more than their share of undulations and broken surfaces across which the 330i tends to wallow with noticeable amount of vertical movement. Nonetheless, the whole thing sticks true to its line and gives drivers full confidence to cruise at some serious speeds. 

    Although it isn’t as much of a precision tool as the older-gen 325i or 330i, the 330i GT’s well weighted  steering and body control is more than adequate for a luxury barge. The brakes are likewise brilliant and never lose precision, even after repeated high speed stops. 

    Should I buy one?

    Summing this up, the 330i GT is impressive in a lot of areas. In essence, it’s a more luxurious version of the existing 3 Series with more than enough rear seat comfort that maintains the range’s positives – Strong performance, loads of tech and good on-road dynamics. The only negatives here are the comfort-oriented suspension and an interior that's not sporty enough for what’s basically a performance sedan. However, it goes without saying that if you fancy the idea of a 3 Series but need extra comfort, willing performance and plenty of exclusivity, the 330i GT makes a lot of sense.

    Where does it fit in?

    The 3 Series GT range starts off at Rs 45.92 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for the 320d diesel; however, the 330i with its unique turbo 4-cylinder petrol motor is priced at Rs 50.37 lakh. The GT range has always been a more practical and exclusive version of the standard 3 Series and now with the 330i coming into the picture, BMW sure has amplified the car’s appeal, especially among the enthusiast crowd.

        Specifications

        • Engine & Transmission

          • Engine
            1998 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Fuel Type
            Petrol

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            248 bhp @ 5200 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            350 Nm @ 1450 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            15.34 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Drivetrain
            RWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Automatic - 8 Gears, Paddle Shift, Sport Mode

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

          • Others
            Idle Start/Stop
        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            4824 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 4824

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            1828 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 1828

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1508 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1508

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            2920 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 2920

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance
            165 mm

            It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 165

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            1595 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            4 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 4
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

            • Seating Capacity: 5
          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            520 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 520

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            60 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Disc

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Hydraulic)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Alloy Wheels

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Alloy

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

            Select premium car models feature space savers (smaller than the stock wheels) to save on boot space.
