The 2.0 liter B48 unit in the 330i will develop 252 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to get 6.5-5.5 liters per 100km (36 mpg US).
The 330i will also be able to reach 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, which is properly quick.
It also greatly reduces carbon emissions from the outgoing 2.0 four. It can send the power to the rear or all four wheels. The consumption could be reduced by more than 12 percent as the 330i comes with an eight-speed automatic and standard size 225 tires.
