2019 BMW 330i

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 330i.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2019 BMW 330i is equipped with an eight-speed automatic (S8) and carries EPA fuel-economy ratings of 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. For reliability context, the available complaint history spans 1999 through 2011 and lists 121 complaints for 2001, which is simultaneously the highest and lowest count in that range. Since the 2019 model year falls outside that tracked period, there is no comparable complaint data to position it within the same historical record.
