The BMW 3 Series G20 (sedan) and G21 (Touring) marks a return to its roots for the Bavarian brand, with an emphasis on driving dynamics that had been slightly dulled in the previous generation (F30). Based on the CLAR modular platform, it offers increased rigidity, more precise steering, and top-notch sound insulation. The facelift (LCI) that occurred mid-2022 modernized the interior with the integration of the large curved display (BMW Curved Display) under iDrive 8, while refining the light signature. In terms of reliability, the G20 is an excellent performer: it benefits from the maturity of the 'B' series modular engines (B48 for gasoline, B58 for 6-cylinder, B47/B57 for diesel), which have corrected the serious flaws of their predecessors (N20/N47).

The BMW 3 Series G20 is undoubtedly one of the best premium family cars of its decade. By turning its back on the reliability issues of the 2007-2015 period (N47 timing chains, N43/N53 coils/injectors), BMW designed extremely robust powertrains with the 'B' generation of engines. The gasoline versions (320i, 330i and especially the incredible M340i) are to be favored: they offer superior driving pleasure, top-notch reliability, and avoid the complex emissions control problems of diesels (EGR). Purchase is highly recommended, provided you choose a model with a clear history and, if possible, opt for more frequent oil changes (15,000 km) to maximize longevity.
