In all markets, the BMW 330Ci 2004 had a huge success. Manufacturers looked up to this model when developing new cars of the middle class. Coupe in the body of the E46 debuted in 1999. While the sedan, the first-born in this generation, appeared a year earlier. The development of the design was led by Chris Bangle. At the heart of the model lay the upgraded platform from the E36 with the MacPherson struts in the front and the multi-link rear suspension. By 2004, the BMW 330Ci 2004 was produced only in the coupe and cabriolett bodies. Sedan and wagon by this time have already been removed from production.
In comparison with the predecessor the car body became 70% harder, and a little bit easier due to the wide use of aluminum in the suspension. The interior retained the driving spirit, while adding in quality of finishing materials and equipment. All electronics was tied to a high-speed bus of a new generation. Unlike the sedan and wagon, which had versions with four-wheel drive, the coupe could only be rear-wheel drive.
But the range of motors was traditionally wide. There were gasoline engined with a capacity of 118-231 hp. Turbodiesels 2.0 and 3.0 developed 150-204 hp. The most powerful civilian option (excluding M3) was a three-liter 330Ci. Its six-cylinder engine with a capacity of 231 hp. rised the car to hundreds in 6.5 seconds. In addition to the traditional “mechanics” and “automatic”, a robotic SMG transmission was offered. The coupe was removed from production in 2006.
The BMW 330Ci 2004 was produced at the main BMW plant in Munich, as well as in Leipzig, Regensburg and Rosslyn (South Africa).
