Reviews: BMW 330d M Sport
Pick of the updated BMW 3 Series range is the new 330d. Particularly in M Sport guise.
Inside & Out:
The mid-life facelift applied to the 3 Series this year was subtle to say the least, though once you see the new car alongside the old it becomes apparent how much more modern it looks. The changes to the front are most obvious, with new lights and bonnet sculpting, while the M Sport cars look more aggressive than ever before. The extra body kit and sporting 18-inch wheels are likely to be part of the reason the M Sport models account for nearly half of all UK sales. Of note on our test car was the new 'Bluewater' metallic colour, which draws a lot of attention.
It'll take an owner of the pre-facelift 3 Series to notice what BMW has done to upgrade the interior, as the changes are so subtle; yet like the exterior, it has been effective. The overall result is a sense of better quality. BMW's switchgear has been praised for its tactility for some time now and nearly all the materials used in the cabin are solid and nice to touch. That's especially true of the new aluminium trim and the optional Dakota leather. However, the 3 Series is a less practical car than the best of the D-segment models, with less rear legroom and boot space than many competitors.
