■ It’s a facelift where the majority of the “lift” is around the face. The 330i Gran Limousine now gets sharper LED headlights that have an inverted DRL silhouette, angular elements in the bumper, shark-nosed kidney grille (of acceptable size) and a blacked-out air dam that adds a sporty touch to the design.

■ The cabin gets gets the biggest change with the upgrade to the latest iDrive 8.0 system which gets new hardware in the form of a huge curved pane of glass that houses two independent screens. A 12.3in instrument cluster and a 14in infotainment display, both perfectly spaced out so the steering wheel doesn’t block any pixels.
