Taking delivery of a BMW 330Li: Initial impressions

The BMW 330Li feels more mature than my old 2019 BMW X1 diesel, which felt like a hooligan with raw power.

BHPian Arunsedanlover recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Got it finally:

Initial Impressions after a 300km drive home from showroom:

1. Too refined. No exhaust note fun. Did not push it beyond 4000 RPM (early days and my first petrol in years). My daughter kept saying that it is very silent and was enjoying her playlist on the wonderful HK sound system. It sounded great after tweaking the equaliser a bit.
2. The Ride: Mixed bag. Was supple and plush in the city. Was a bit soft for my liking (Softer than my Jetta). Highway flyover patches had a floaty feel. Hope it gets better once the springs settle down. Have not checked the tyre pressures yet.
3. Handling: Good enough for my driving style. I don't like is too sharp that it makes passengers uncomfortable. Stuck to its line perfectly.
4. Performance: Coming from a diesel 2019 BS4 X1 found the 330li to be mature. The X1 was a hooligan with raw power. Maybe am not driving the petrol how it's meant to be.
