The tall glass greenhouse is kind of their look over the generations.

So, my wife has a 2021 330i now. I've been posting about it over in Car Chat:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...lo-330i-3.html

I'd say it's been an impressive car so far. It's fun to drive, fuel efficient, and easy to use. It also has plenty of power, putting my old IS 300 AWD to shame. I've got to say, my wife has great taste.

I find G20 drivers like to drive fast on average. It's a good enthusiast vehicle. The back looks like an IS350 which is a good thing

I have to say, the 330i is the first car I've driven in quite a while where I find myself unintentionally going 10 or 15 MPH faster than intended. It's quiet and has plenty of torque, so I have to pay attention to the dials.

That mid range torque is very nice in the BMWs. I find that the 330s run out of breath a bit at the high RPMs but that broad torque curve makes it super easy to drive fast in the highway.
