Hello and congratulations for the great review. I am going to take delivery of a new 330d in about three weeks time and I simply can’t wait to finally get behind the wheel of this engineering masterpiece.

Just picked up the 330D, 2007 model cabrio. What an excellent car !

I recommend you avoid the M models, unless you are happy spending 300gbp equiv PER tyre and running the risk of the run-flat-tyre sensor playing up and the 18inch alloys cracking on you. Thats what I have read in other reviews.

I bought an E46 318 on a great deal 3 years ago. Fuel economy was one reason for the purchase and it was a cabrio.

Pleased with BMW comfort, styling and usefulness.

Having power-skidded it round a bend with ALL active correction off at 50mph and smashing the back into a newer ‘less subtle’ styling, its time for an upgrade to a 330D

Im a UK buyer and second-hand it seems a great option !

Hell… I may even drive it more carefully.

Great review !

Best one I have read, out of 4 total, so far !!!

I drove the 320d recently and couldn’t believe the power, torque and overall driving experience associated with that, so I can only imagine how incredible the 330d must be. This was a week after driving a 335i, and I almost think I got more enjoyment from the 320d.

The 330d is manufactured in the BMW plant in South Africa.

What an amazing machine. BMW’s are where it’s at. Does anyone know if this model is made in the plant in South Carolina?

Just wondering Anthony, how does this car compare to the 135i in terms of driving dynamics and performace?

If you think the 330d is great, I wonder what you’d think about the 335d? Seriously, the Diesels came a long way in the last years. Price is the only thing standing between me and a 330d… I’m seriously looking into getting a 123d, however $60k+ for a small car like this is pretty hard to swallow. At the moment I drive a tuned Astra CDTI that I absolutely still love after almost 3 years. So you see, I’m very familiar with the bursts of torque that make it so easy to drive from gap to gap. 400 Nm in a small hatch is nothing short of magic, 520 Nm in a wonderfully balanced sedan like the 3 must be even more so!
