2023 BMW 330i

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 330i.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2023 BMW 330i arrives with an eight-speed automatic transmission (S8) and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 25 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined. Historical complaint data for the 330i line spans 1999 through 2011 and contains a single recorded year, 2001, with 121 complaints marking both the highest and lowest count in that span. Because the 2023 model falls outside that tracked window, researchers have no direct complaint record for this model year and should treat its long-term reliability as an unsettled rather than established verdict.
