Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the BMW 330 than in the BMW 530, due to the BMW 330's smaller rear head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 330 and the BMW 530 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 330 as you will with the BMW 530, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the BMW 330 is clearly a better financial choice over the BMW 530. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The BMW 330 and the BMW 530 have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 330 is much slimmer than the BMW 530, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the BMW 330, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the BMW 530.

Handling
The BMW 330 has a smaller turning radius than the BMW 530, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the BMW 330 and the BMW 530.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the BMW 330 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the BMW 530.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 330 and the BMW 530.

Warranty
The BMW 330 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the BMW 530.
