- You can go for 3 Series 330i M Sport. The BMW 3-Series is a very capable sedan offering good performance and fuel efficiency.The BMW 330i M Sport is certainly a sporty car, the engine is powerful and the transmission is quick. The car’s dimensions and dynamic setup make it feel compact and chuckable. To BMW fans though, that 4-cylinder engine will never feel as special as the six. For new BMW buyers however, the 330i M Sport frees them up from the hassle of buying the 330i Sport and kitting it up with M Sport parts. While it could have redeemed itself as a luxury car with a bit of added performance, being the oldest car in its segment has left it with less than ideal passenger space and some previous-gen features. The BMW 330i should have been special, but it just isn’t.
