The 2019 model year

Overview

The seventh-generation G20 3 Series launched in the United States for 2019 as the 330i and all-wheel-drive 330i xDrive sedans. Both used BMW's 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic; the M340i pair followed as 2020 models rather than belonging to the 2019 roster.
