Active Auto Sales in Novato, in Marin County, has this refined German sports sedan in stock and ready for a test drive. With 83,389 miles on the clock, this 330i hits the sweet spot for used luxury car buyers — past the steepest depreciation curve but well within the range where BMW's engineering really shines. Stock #7990 is your opportunity to step into one of BMW's most iconic nameplates at a compelling price point.

About This 2018 BMW 3 Series 330i

The 2018 BMW 3 Series remains one of the most well-rounded luxury sports sedans on the market, and this 330i trim represents the heart of the lineup. At just over 83,000 miles, this vehicle is well within a comfortable ownership window — especially for a BMW that, when properly maintained, routinely runs well past 150,000 miles. The 330i designation means you're getting the turbocharged four-cylinder variant that BMW engineered specifically to balance spirited performance with real-world fuel efficiency, all wrapped in a four-door sedan body that makes it practical enough for daily commutes across Marin County and weekend drives up Highway 1.

2018 BMW 3 Series Performance and Engine

Turbocharged 2.0L Four-Cylinder Power

Under the hood of this 330i sits BMW's B48 turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine — a SULEV-certified powerplant that produces 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Don't let the four-cylinder designation fool you. This engine is widely regarded as one of the best in the segment, delivering smooth, linear power across the rev range with a low-end torque punch that makes merging onto US-101 or navigating the curves of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard genuinely enjoyable.

Paired with BMW's 8-speed Sport automatic transmission, shifts are quick, precise, and nearly imperceptible in normal driving — yet snap to attention when you push the throttle. The rear-wheel-drive layout keeps the 3 Series true to BMW's "Ultimate Driving Machine" heritage, offering a balanced, driver-focused feel that front-wheel-drive competitors simply can't match. Expect EPA fuel economy in the range of 26 mpg city and 36 mpg highway — impressive numbers for a sport sedan with this level of performance.

2018 BMW 330i Features and Interior

A Cabin Built Around the Driver

Step inside and the 330i's interior design makes its priorities clear: this car is built for the person behind the wheel. The cockpit-style dashboard orients all controls toward the driver, and the standard iDrive infotainment system keeps navigation, audio, and phone connectivity intuitive and accessible. The 330i trim level typically includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button start, and BMW's signature ambient lighting.

Rear passengers aren't forgotten either — the 3 Series offers genuinely usable back-seat space for a sport sedan, making it a viable everyday car for small families or frequent carpoolers heading into San Francisco or across the Golden Gate. The trunk offers a respectable 17 cubic feet of cargo space, practical for grocery runs or weekend getaways up to Wine Country.

BMW 3 Series Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2018 330i

The 2018 BMW 3 Series earns consistently strong marks from long-term owners and automotive publications alike. The B48 engine in the 330i has proven itself to be one of BMW's most reliable modern powerplants, with fewer reported issues than earlier turbocharged units. Consumer Reports and J.D. Power surveys from this generation reflect above-average predicted reliability when routine maintenance is kept current.

As with any European luxury vehicle, staying on top of oil changes (BMW recommends a synthetic blend changed every 10,000 miles), brake fluid flushes, and coolant maintenance is key to long-term ownership satisfaction. Buyers who keep up with service schedules consistently report high satisfaction at high mileage. At 83,389 miles, this 330i is entering a phase of ownership where maintenance costs are well-understood and the vehicle's character is fully broken in.
