2022 BMW 3 Series Review

1982. The year an alien took center stage and folks throughout Jackson, Clinton, Ridgeland, and Madison, MS, were dancing along with Jack and Diane. However, while E.T. was busy phoning home, another soon-to-be cult classic was emerging onto the scene: the BMW 3 Series. Since then, this sporty sedan has been a staple of garages and driveways across the nation. If you’re considering bringing home this piece of refined power, let the BMW of Jackson team be your guide through the following 2022 BMW 3 Series review.

It’s Monday morning. You’re making your way down Interstate 220, reminiscing about Saturday night’s shenanigans, and wishing you were still in bed. Luckily, the performance capability of the BMW 3 Series is here to put some pep in your step. Under the hood is where it all begins, with the base 330i model sporting a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine. Generating 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.6 seconds and is accompanied by an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission. Talk about crushing the morning commute. As you pull into your usual parking spot, you’ll not only turn heads but also arrive uninterrupted thanks to the 2022 3 Series’ EPA-estimated 26 city/36 highway MPG. Alternatively, if you’d rather plug in than fuel up, there’s always the BMW 3 Series 330e, which features an all-electric range of 22 miles.

A luxury vehicle brings certain expectations for the quality of its interior cabin. Opening the doors to the 3 Series reveals a space that surpasses these standards. Up front, both drive and passenger will sink into the available M Carbon Bucket Seats. Lightweight construction and full electric adjustment create ideal functionality, while 3-stage heating provides warmth on crisp winter days. Speaking of weather, all five passengers will remain cool even on the hottest of summer days with standard Multi-zone Climate Control. The BMW 3 Series has even more to offer, too, like the 330i and its exclusive interior trim styles: Mocha Vernasca Leather, Oyster Vernasca Leather, Canberra Beige Perforated SensaTec, Tacora Red Perforated SensaTec. Here’s a tip: After you’ve finished reading this review, why not stop by our dealership to check out your favorite colorway in person?

Last—but certainly not least—it’s time to talk tech. You’ll find plenty of it in the 3 Series, from wire-free connectivity to focus-assisting information displays. Let’s start with the latter. When the world throws enticing distractions in your direction, push them away with BMW’s optional Live Cockpit Professional. Using an M-specific design, stats including speed and navigation are conveniently displayed right above the steering wheel. For even more concentrated driving, voice-activated controls come standard on all models. As for entertainment, wireless smartphone connectivity gives second-row passengers control of setting the perfect playlist. Get in the groove as you listen to the sounds of the available Harman Kardon® Surround Sound Audio System with a 464-watt amplifier and 16 speakers.
