The BMW
330i is available in all-wheel drive. It’s offered as an option on all 2022 trims for an extra $2,000. It’s important to understand the distinctions between the various drivetrains before you spend large sums of money. Here is a brief rundown of the different types of drivetrains available on the market today.
All-wheel drive (AWD): All-wheel drive supplies power to all four wheels, which improves the vehicle’s traction and performance. AWD is generally always on.
Four-wheel drive (4WD): Similar to all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive supplies power to all four wheels but can be switched on and off.
Front-wheel drive (FWD): As the name suggests, front-wheel-drive vehicles send power to only the two front wheels while the rear wheels turn passively. FWD is the type of drivetrain found on most sedans.
Rear-wheel drive (RWD): Power is supplied to the rear wheels of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Trucks and performance cars will typically be outfitted with RWD.
While it will cost you an extra $2,000 to add AWD to your BMW 330i, that will also likely make it more expensive to insure, meaning AWD can increase your overall cost of ownership significantly.
