<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> 49 Driven Value Cars BMW has combination of power and efficiency • By Ross Kiddie IT’S A phone call I’ve received a couple of times in the past. <strong>The</strong> invitation goes something like this: “Would you like to fly to Queenstown and drive a new BMW back to Christchurch?’’ Of course, it’s an offer I’ve been only too willing to accept, especially considering that drive is one of the best in New Zealand, and the car in this instance was my favourite out of the BMW stable – the 330i. It was in April when I evaluated the 320i, a 3-Series car which has effectively the same engine, but with lesser power outputs, the 330i is rated with 185kW and 350Nm against 135kW and 270Nm. Of course, there’s also a four-cylinder diesel model in the line-up. <strong>The</strong> 3-Series in total is a true sports sedan range and I’m really smitten with the concept, the 330i has road feel, power and handling that makes you feel so much part of the car. And if you take into account it has economy almost unrealistic for a performance car, the combination is simply amazing. On my long highway journey and cruising at a steady 100km/h, the instantaneous fuel usage figure was constantly hovering around fourlitres per 100km (70mpg), that sits well with BMW’s combined cycle average claim of just 5.8l/100km (49mpg). <strong>The</strong>se figures could suggest unremarkable performance, but the opposite applies, the 330i is the powerhouse of the 3-Series line-up, it will scamper to 100km/h in 5.8sec and will make an 80km/h to 120km/h overtaking time of 4sec. And I made many overtakes on my journey, the 330i is a touring car of true genius. But it is also the docile sedan for when the driving environment is a lot more sedate, I had the test car for a week at home and BMW 330i: Touring car of true genius. used it for inner-city travel, especially to and from the hospital during the time my wife was having surgery. <strong>The</strong> 330i is involving to drive at all times, as a driver you feel tightly connected to it. <strong>The</strong> 3-Series isn’t, big but it does translate its compact proportions into a user-friendly environment, and that is something BMW does well, not only is it desirable, as a sports machine it relishes the everyday role. • Price – BMW 330i, $88,000 • Dimensions – Length, 4633mm; width, 1811mm; height, 1429mm • Configuration: Fourcylinder, rear-wheeldrive, 1988cc, 185kW, 350Nm, eight-speed automatic. • Performance – 0-100km/h, 5.8sec • Fuel usage– 5.8l/100km To reinforce that, the 330i has compliant suspension, it soaks up the big hits from Christchurch’s roads, but it also has the firming needed to control body balance tightly when fired into a series of tight corners. Of course, the 3-Series has a host of wheel and tyre options but the test car was sitting on aggressive, 19in Bridgestone Potenza rubber. I leaned the evaluation car heavily into several tight and twisty sections and can conclusively say grip is phenomenal, the quality follow us on facebook.com/riseupchristchurch www.blackwells.co.nz of the fully independent suspension lends itself to sporty driving, and if you take into account the feel you get from rear-wheeldrive, then being part of a car such as this is almost the ultimate pleasure. At the other end, sitting longitudinally, is a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. <strong>The</strong> twin-camshaft unit works through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. It has a paddleshift mechanism if you want to take control over the gearshift process. <strong>The</strong>re are also sport, normal and eco pro driving modes that the driver can use so that the car can adapt to varying driving conditions. I used sport mode a lot when passing opportunities arrived, and normal mode when long straights called for the use of cruise control. With the decisive torque boost that turbocharging provides, the 330i is a swift mover under acceleration, it will pull from anywhere in the rev band. At city speeds the engine will often hover at around 1000rpm, yet it will unleash and rev freely if the throttle is given a nudge. <strong>The</strong> 330i lands here at $88,000, it’s a premium price but you do get a lot of car for the money. Column space doesn’t allow for comprehensive detailing of specification items but to say it has a lot of kit and can be specced to personal satisfaction. However, the factor that means the most to me is the engineering prowess that BMW builds into its motor vehicles, the chassis design and construction create a sublime driving experience while the engine is a true delight with its surge and keen throttle response. As much as I enjoyed the drive back to Christchurch and, as much as I lust after the 330i, I’d still be happy with its sibling – the 320i. It doesn’t miss out on much, and a potential buyer could end up with a $16,000 saving.
