Steptronics shift and intelligent moving headlight

Cons

Not suitable for person who has weak heart

Very Happy — Solid handling and performance. It's nice to have steptronics gear shift, so when I'm feeling to have more horse power and skid, drive manual and unleash the full power of the V-6 2.5 injection under the hood. Absolute thrill to burn rubber. Careful, watchout your dashboard! You might hit 90mph before you realized...

A Great Mix Of Sportiness And Stability — I would not hesitate to recommend the 330 to anyone who wants a car. It feels super-solid from the first moment you step into it (either as the driver or as a passenger). It looks great. The acceleration will push you back into your seat easily. Steering is responsive and feels

cool-looking, quick, agile and lots of fun

Cons

run-flat performance tires are really expensive, but safer

Maybe The Best Of The 32 Cars I've Owned, Including Numerous European Luxo And Sports Cars — My second 3 series car. Purchased as a CPO with 16K miles 4 years ago. Now has about 54K miles and has completely met my expectations. Get the premium and sport packages if you can; these make the car much more enjoyable and capable.
