BMW G20 330i Review from America.
The story of this BMW G20 330i begins in the spring of 2021 when the current owner bought it from a person who brought the car to Ukraine without repairs but already cleared through customs and registered. At the auction in the USA, the car cost $15,200, and in Ukraine, its price was around $26,000-27,000. Over the course of 3-4 months, the car was restored in Dnipro.
The peculiarity of this BMW was that it was in a basic configuration: standard LED headlights, stock body kit, and a simple steering wheel. The owner decided to modify these elements by installing laser headlights, an M package, ambient lighting, and a new steering wheel, aiming to stay within a budget of $35,000.
Tuning Process and Costs:
The main modifications included replacing the windshield, installing the M body kit and headlights, and changing the steering wheel. Additionally, work was done on replacing the battery, adjusting the air conditioning, installing wheel arches and panels, electrical work, alignment, replacing a strut, and painting. A tow truck was also needed.
After all these changes, the car cost the owner $37,110. However, the work was not yet complete.
Additional Work:
After installing the ambient lighting, Stage 1 bootmod3 tune, de-chroming, and other details, the total cost of the car reached $41,000, although the 360-degree camera was never installed. The budget far exceeded the initial plan due to an incorrect estimate of repair and tuning costs. The owner initially expected to repair the car for $5,000-7,000, but the final expenses amounted to about $12,000-13,000, including tuning. All upgrades were aimed at personalizing the car to be equipped with the M package, a new steering wheel, laser headlights, and ambient lighting.
Conclusion and Impressions:
The car has a minimal mileage of just 8,000 km and suffered only minor damage, making it an attractive option with good features. The rear of the car has an M package, a spoiler, and sporty exhaust tips, giving it an aggressive and dynamic appearance.
Special attention should be given to the chip-tuning. The 2019 model allowed for easy flashing of the DME (engine control unit) using Bootmod without unlocking the ECU.
The BMW G series impresses with its modern design and new approach. The light interior with sports seats immediately catches the eye. The G20 is a worthy and promising model that could be a great replacement for the F30. This version is equipped with the B48 engine, which is an analogue of the N20 and N26.
