What's the best-driving compact luxury sedan? That's what Carlos Lago seeks to find out in this quick comparison. Representing tradition, we have a 2019 BMW 3 Series, the newest generation of the model. Up for the challenge is our long-term 2017 Tesla Model 3.
The BMW is new, and the Tesla has over 20,000 miles on it. If you aren't thinking it already, yes, this comparison isn't exactly fair. And that makes the conclusion all the more surprising. While the BMW certainly is a nice luxury car to drive, the Telsa provides more fun.
2019 BMW 3 Series Review
The 2019 BMW 3 Series kicks off the model's seventh generation with mild design and structural changes. More important are the improvements in power, handling and technology. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine carries over from the last generation, but it gains slightly more horsepower and noticeably more low-end torque. The chassis is wider and stiffer, which, along with a retuned suspension, promises refinements to the 3 Series' already lauded handling performance.
The new 3 Series is slightly longer, which helps increase trunk space. The new model maintains the 3 Series hallmark of interior comfort and quality with sporty, form-fitting seats, impressive touchscreen displays and infotainment, and finer details such as ambient cabin lighting and oak, maple and aluminum accents.
The 2019 BMW 330i comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive (known as xDrive) is optional.
Standard features include 18-inch wheels, automatic wipers, a sunroof, simulated-leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-adjustable front seats, an 8.8-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, a USB input, and a 10-speaker audio system.
Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and BMW Assist emergency communications are among the driver assistance features that come standard.
There's a 330i M Sport package that includes 19-inch wheels, performance tires, sport-tuned suspension and steering, special exterior and interior trim details, and the features from the Convenience package.

2017 Tesla Model 3 Review
The 2017 Tesla Model 3 is a five-passenger sedan powered by a single electric motor that is fed by a long-range lithium-ion battery pack. Total system output is 258 horsepower. A single-speed transmission drives the rear wheels, and its range is estimated at 310 miles.
The Model 3's interior is dominated by a standard 15-inch touchscreen display mounted in the center of the dash. There is no traditional instrument cluster, so all functions are controlled and monitored through the center screen.
Clearly, the 2017 Tesla Model 3 has the potential to ascend past all other non-Tesla EVs. With initial estimates for performance, its 310-mile range and many high-tech features, the $50,000 price could very well be justified.
In terms of size, the Tesla measures 184.8 inches long, 56.8 inches high and 72.8 inches wide. That makes the Model 3 similar to the BMW 3 Series. There's 15 cubic feet of trunk space, again similar to what other entry-level luxury cars offer.
The Model 3 is available in one trim level with standard features that include 18-inch wheels, automatic headlights and high beams, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, cloth upholstery, and 60/40-split folding rear seats.
Standard technology features include a 15-inch touchscreen, a navigation system with real-time traffic, voice activation, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, remote control of some systems via a smartphone app, a rearview camera, and a seven-speaker audio system with internet streaming radio and two USB ports. Standard safety features include forward collision warning and mitigation, blind-spot monitoring with collision avoidance, and lane departure warning.

I've bought nothing but BMW's for past 20 years. Until the Tesla Model 3 arrived. The biggest factor for my switch was maintenance and reliability. The Tesla has about 18 moving parts vs. over 3000 in the BMW. Worries about the BMW high pressure fuel pump, plastic timing chain guides, vanos ticking sounds, wastegate problems, leaking valve covers, etc. have always been the "norm" and you just try to factor into the ownership experience. But now the Model 3 is quicker than my V8 E93 M3, weighs the same, handles just about the same, and even has close to the same fuel range. The Tesla has a far bigger interior, far greater storage space, and all I have to worry about maintenance wise is changing coolant every 4 years, brake fluid every 2 years, and keeping tires on it. It was a no brainier when you also factor never paying for gas or even having to stop at a gas station, I just plug it in my garage once in awhile. BMW now says they are advancing their plans for electric models by 2 years, promising 2023. I can't wait. Until then though, the Tesla is just too much fun. I have over 25k miles on it already!

I owned 5 BMWs before I switched to Tesla. After I got the Tesla I had one regret. Not buying a Tesla earlier. Great review by Carlos, he really nailed it. None of that useless drifting cars comparison, completely focused on the driving dynamics and briefly summing up the history of the ultimate driving machine. It is sad to see BMW 3 series turning into a nice Honda Accord. Carlos is right, the bmw cars have become very soft. I swear 5 generations of bmw 3 series and each next generation was softer and laggier than the one before. The 4 cylinder F90 is extremely loud and unpleasant noise, it sounds like a diesel and suffer form massive turbo lag. Even the M340 (fake M) has a turbo lag, unless you drive it like a maniac in Sport plus mode. BMWs cost more to purchase and operate and can’t be kept for more than 4 years unless you are a mechanic. The Tesla model 3 interior is not as posh luxuries as a leather interior BMW and that is be design because except for the steering wheel, there is not a single surface made of leather but unlike any other car in that price range the wood trim is a real wood not some cheap plastic that was made to look like wood. Tesla is truly a better car to drive. In fact you will not won’t to use auto pilot as often as you would think because the car is so much more fun to drive than any BMW or any other vehicle. It’s truly amazing to see a startup company 1st generation car be that good. Look forward to see more video reviews from Carlos

@logicalChimp 5 лет назад

BMW probably still make reasonable / good cars - when compared to other ICE vehicles. The problem is that ICE cannot compare to EV from a powertrain perspective, and putting the batteries below the floor gives a significant handling boost too (from lowered CoG). Separately, BMW firing their CEO may be a good thing (even if it has come rather late) - it will depend on who replaces him, really.

TESLA do not roll over. and for SOME ICEV Death is almost Certain in a Accident. TESLA saves lives everyday.

IF anyone can remember how good the BMW 3 was back in 2006 or 2007 that was the Tesla 3's benchmark. The older 3 just driving around town was just OK. The ride was stiff below 30 mph and it did not have much bottom-end torque. Rev it up to about 5500 rpm and take a turn at about 90% of its capacity and now the 3 was in its element. The sweet sound of that six. Enter a turn too fast and lose your nerve ...the tail would come around while you scrub off some speed. Get back into the gas and the car would stay wide till you straightened it up. All the while you could feel the tires and the road through the steering wheel. It was a fantastic feeling that few cars could duplicate. That fantastic feeling is how the Tesla 3 feels. All the time. It is just a joy to drive at any speed in any turn or even going to get groceries. The modern BMW 3 is nothing like the older N/A 3.0 six BMW 3's.

Yup, any car from early-90s onwards can probably get more power from a software update (also known as a 'remap')... however, Tesla is currently the only ones who would roll that out for free to all customers, and is able to do it Over The Air so you don't even have to visit the stealership. Even more impressively, they rolled out an update that gave all their cars greater range too (something that usually declines if you get a remap on an ICE vehicle), and improved recharge times (not really comparable to ICE vehicles). IMO the fact that Tesla are still rolling out free updates to cars they sold in 2012 is the amazing part - it's a level of support unheard of from every other automaker.

@zolikoff 5 лет назад

To me they feel the same, Teslas just tend to have the stronger kick and acceleration. But the driving dynamics and feel are identical otherwise. Many people also confuse tire-driven steering response with something particular to the car model. The larger the rims, the more responsive the steering feels, and this has nothing to do with the rest of the car, it just comes from the height of the tire sidewalls.

It's obvious from watching this review and reading the comments, everyone is a Tesla fan and not a true car person. While less, the rate with which an electric car accelerates is quicker than a combustion engine car; there is more to a car than 0-60 time. The feel, the sound (a major source of sensoral excitement), the fit and finish, all things the Tesla doesn't have. I've owned BMWs, I've owned muscle cars and roadsters and sports cars; I've driven more than one Tesla, and for me they simply don't invoke passion. I couldn't care less about virtue signaling or status which honestly is what most Tesla owners care about; I care about the entire driving experience which is why the BMW wins for me. Least we not forget, the Tesla is simply ugly inside and out. There are electric cars I could get excited about as a car guy; but they are all way more than 50-60k. And then at that price point, there are also exotic gas powered cars I'd rather drive.

Thanks for the fair driving comparison. But as matter of additional information. Tesla Model 3 has been certified to be the safest car on the planet. Has a vast array of super charging stations. Has an electronic connectivity to mother Tesla, therefore the car will be able to instantly receive an upgrade. It has an assist auto pilot with 100% capability as soon as it will be made available and the proper government permit issued. when we just add that the Model 3 is far more dependable, surely it will have a far longer life and its resale value will stay sky high, while its total operating costs are just a little fraction to what a BMW of any description will have. All of these features are alien to BMW. Had you driven the Model 3 performance model, and not the bare bone model, the BMW would have shown all its obsolescence in comparison. To be fair the BMW has been a great car of the eighty. so time for retirement as per customers will.

What trim level is this model 3? Your description says 310 mile range which makes me think this is a Long Range AWD, but the trunk does not have a Dual Motor badge indicative of AWD versions. Is it a Long Range Rear wheel drive version? Then it would be a 325 mile range and not 310 as stated in your description. It couldn't be a Standard Range Plus because they didn't make those in 2017. It's not a mid-range either. The description says 10 speaker but premium interiors have 14 speakers and only premium interiors we're available in 2017. To any extent Edmunds needs to be clear of the trim level of the car they are demonstrating and only then can the consumer make an informed decision.

Anybody can build a more comfortable car seat, in fact there are a few firms that specialize in them.
