2003 BMW 330
The BMW 3-Series is an extensive line of vehicles with a diverse range
of body types and capabilities. Within this entry level are two engine
types and these determine whether you have a 325 or the more powerful
330 line. The 2003 BMW 330 offers a choice between the coupe, sedan and
convertible models but, in essence, the 330 line is for those who want
BMW quality and technology and are prepared to pay a little more for enhanced
BMW performance. This adds, of course, to the already explicit BMW focus
on performance as a design priority.
Available Models
The BMW 330 models include the following: The 2003 BMW 330i and 2003 BMW
330xi, the 2003 BMW 330iCi coupe and the 2003 BMW 330Ci convertible.
Interior Features
Whereas the 325 level offers good solid basic features, the 2003 BMW 330
adds an enhanced level of interior trim and amenity. For example, 8-way
power front seats replace 8-way manual ones. Other upgrades compared to
the 325 models include, Harmon Kardon audio as a standard feature. This
12-speaker system include s 2 sub-woofers and includes an in-dash CD player.
Leatherette upholstery, a 4-spoke leather-wrapped multi-function steering
wheel, a front seat center armrest with a storage compartment and split-fold
rear bench seating, automatic climate control and one-touch power windows
add more standard value.
Major packages can be added like the Cold-Weather, Sport or Premium packages.
Stand-alone features can also be added as options enabling the addition
of many luxury amenities to this near-luxury BMW line-up.
Exterior Features
The standard exterior features on the 2003 BMW 330 models include standard
free-form halogen headlights, heated power mirrors and heated windshield
washer jets to make for good visibility in all weather conditions. Titanium
finish trim, matching interior highlights, enhances styling that echoes
BMW's distinctive classic image, making this a prestige vehicle line up
that will look good in any driveway. The convertible model is a two door
with a fully automatic convertible roof.
Performance
The 2003 BMW 330 line up has its real distinction from the 325 line up
under the hood. A powerful 3.0-liter, it has ample power for confident
and aggressive drivers who want the authority to get into and out of potential
scrapes. Highway merging is no problem on these 330 models that can do
0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds. The powerful V6 engine produces 225 hp at 5900
rpm and 214 lb-ft of torque at 3500. It can be coupled with either a 5-speed
manual or automatic transmissions, which get about 18/26 mpg.
The 330Xi sedan has a permanent all-wheel drive system but the rest are
rear-wheel drive models.
Safety and Security
The safety portfolio is very impressive. All models have antilock brakes
and an assortment of airbags including dual front-impact airbag Supplementary
Restraint System (SRS) with dual-threshold and dual-stage deployment and
front-door-mounted side impact airbags. At the 330 level, rear side impact
airbags are also standard.
