AutoExec Summary
The 2023 BMW 320i may be labelled entry-level, but its price is far from it. Priced from $78,900 (plus on-road costs), it climbs to $93,114 drive-away in Melbourne. The 320i features a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine producing 135kW/300Nm, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It offers a refined driving experience with sharp handling, though its firm suspension and complex infotainment system might deter some buyers. Competing against the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the 320i stands out for its sporty dynamics and tech-savvy interior, but its high price may be a sticking point.
