We highly recommend choosing vehicles with a Run & Drive Verified status. However, if you have experience in repairing vehicles with more significant damage, you may consider exploring all available options.

Introducing the BMW 3 Series 2022: Excellence Redefined
The BMW 3 Series has long been regarded as a benchmark for compact luxury sedans, and the 2022 iteration continues to uphold that reputation. With its sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and impressive performance, the 3 Series offers an exhilarating driving experience that is hard to match. Let's dive into the details of what makes the BMW 3 Series 2022 a truly exceptional car.
Technical Specifications:
The BMW 3 Series 2022 is powered by a range of potent engines that provide both power and efficiency. The base model, the 330i, is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking even more excitement, the top-of-the-line M340i xDrive boasts a 3.0-liter inline-six engine with an impressive output of 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
The 3 Series offers rear-wheel drive as standard, with xDrive all-wheel drive available as an option. The standard transmission is an eight-speed automatic, while a six-speed manual is also available for those who prefer a more engaging driving experience.
Modifications:
The 2022 BMW 3 Series offers a range of modifications to enhance its performance and appearance. The available M Sport Package adds sportier styling elements and features such as an M steering wheel, upgraded brakes, and sport seats. Additionally, the Dynamic Handling Package equips the 3 Series with adaptive suspension and variable sport steering for even better handling and responsiveness on the road.
For those who love to stand out, the Shadowline Package offers blacked-out exterior trim, while the Individual Package allows for more personalization options, including unique paint colors and interior trims.
Engine Versions:
Besides the aforementioned 330i and M340i xDrive, the 2022 BMW 3 Series also offers a plug-in hybrid variant called the 330e. It combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, producing a combined output of 288 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid powertrain provides an electric range of approximately 22 miles, making it an eco-friendly option without compromising on performance.
Trim Levels:
The BMW 3 Series 2022 is available in three main trim levels: the base 330i, the performance-oriented M340i xDrive, and the plug-in hybrid 330e. Each trim level offers a unique driving experience and a variety of features to cater to different preferences and needs.
The 330i serves as the entry-level model, focusing on comfort, luxury, and everyday usability. The M340i xDrive caters to enthusiasts with its more powerful engine, sport-tuned suspension, and aggressive styling cues. The 330e, on the other hand, caters to those seeking sustainability without sacrificing performance or luxury.
Design and Handling:
The BMW 3 Series 2022 exudes sophistication and athleticism from every angle. Its sleek lines, prominent kidney grilles, and LED headlights give it a modern and premium appearance. Inside, the cabin is crafted with high-quality materials and features a driver-focused cockpit, creating a luxurious and ergonomic environment.
The 3 Series combines this elegant design with exceptional handling capabilities. Its balanced chassis, well-tuned suspension, and precise steering allow for agile and nimble maneuvers on both straight roads and tight corners. Whether you're commuting in the city or hitting the open highway, the 3 Series delivers a comfortable and engaging driving experience.
Key Differences Between Generations:
If there were two generations of the BMW 3 Series produced within the same year, the key differences would likely lie in their exterior design, interior features, and technology offerings.
For example, the latest generation may feature a refreshed exterior design with updated front and rear bumpers, revised grille design, or even new LED lighting elements. Inside, there may be improvements in terms of materials, fit, and finish, as well as the introduction of new technology such as a larger infotainment screen, enhanced driver-assist systems, or updated connectivity features.
Additionally, advancements in engine technology and performance could also differentiate the two generations. The newer generation may offer improved fuel efficiency, more power, or even the introduction of hybrid or electric powertrain options.
It's worth noting that BMW often introduces mid-cycle updates to their models, known as LCI (Life Cycle Impulse), which brings subtle changes and improvements throughout a generation's production run.
In Conclusion:
The BMW 3 Series 2022 continues the legacy of excellence set by its predecessors. With its powerful engines, customizable options, and impeccable handling, it provides an unparalleled driving experience. Whether you prioritize performance, luxury, or sustainability, there's a 3 Series trim level suited to your preferences. The BMW 3 Series 2022 truly raises the bar for compact luxury sedans and is a car that enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike can appreciate.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
