It is not sitting quietly even now and is planning to bring a better 3 series model in the country. The new BMW 330i will feature a new engine that currently powers the 530i model. It is a 3-litre in line 6-cylinder engine that delivers a power of 258 bhp and attains a top speed of 100kmph in just 7seconds.
