2019 BMW 330d Touring (G21) Does 0-100 KM/H Acceleration Test

The G21 3 Series Touring is just like the 3 Series sedan only with a big butt? Well, yes, but it also came out with a new engine that people aren't talking about.

The sedan had 330i and 320d setups when it hit Europe. But here, we're dealing with the 330d. This proves diesel isn't dead, as BMW said. Although less powerful models are going to sell better, this is still a fantastic wagon to have.

In fact, if you're after a compact executive with good mpgs and lots of power, this is pretty much your only choices at the moment. All normal D-segment wagons (Mondeo, Passat, Mazda6) are exclusively four-bangers. The Audi A4 45 TDI (231 HP) is slower and don't bring up the S4 because that would ruin our point.


When it comes to money, the 330d xDrive Touring will set you back €53,450, about €7,000 more than a 320d. Is 265 HP and 580 Nm worth it? Probably not, but you shouldn't think that way.

The 3 Series estate body was launched during the car's second generation during the mid-80s. It was conceived by a normal BMW employee who needed something with a trunk big enough for family vacations.

But let's not beat around the proverbial bush. You're about to watch a video where six cylinders and a turbo push this family car to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. You can keep all your try-hard hot hatchbacks; a real family man/woman has something like this.

With so much power on tap, it's not surprising that it hits 250 km/h. And what do you think of BMW's digital dashboards? They're probably not as good as Audi's for some reason.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
