- The BMW 330e: the 3 Series Hybrid.
We test drove the G20 330e M Sport Saloon in portimao blue. It comes with a 2 litre turbo petrol engine, with an electric motor, coupled to an 8 speed automatic gearbox.
It gives you over 35 miles of electric range, and a speed of up to 68 miles an hour.
The combined fuel consumption goes all the way up to 138 miles to the gallon, with CO2 emissions of 39 g/km.

Awesome review. I've watched a lot of them because I have just ordered this car and will take possession around February (long lead times because of chip shortages) so I'm getting acquainted with it a bit. I truly mean it when I say that your review is one of the best ones, if not the best one. It's like hearing someone talk about it who has this car and uses it as a daily driver, in stead of an automotive journalist who drove it for a day and then reviews it. Really down-to-earth and in-depth review. Nice work! Subscribed. I can't wait, I'm going to have a blast with this machine
Thank you, Blue - really glad you liked it! 👍 We aim to cover the pertinent info and combine it with a real world view of what it’s like to drive.
You will totally have a blast in yours when you get it, it’s a great machine…. *A
@@PlanetautoUK That definitely shows in your videos. Keep it up, your hard work will pay off without a doubt, you both obviously have a knack for this. Really cool to see two people review cars together too, it's a really original concept and it makes for very dynamic videos the way you alternate who's explaining the different aspects of a car
And yes, I'm sure I will. Compared to my current M135i it has a bit less power but it does have the instant torque of the Xtraboost mode so I'm sure the dynamics, while probably very different, will be really fun nonetheless. BMW really knows how to make a true driver's car
I watched now 6 Minutes and I love it. you Not explaining from ground like others, Great, just Show us the car good Job :-)
Thank you, we give you what you need, also we now do the review with a brew a 5 min quick review.
Brilliant review. Beautifully narrated and very impressive presentation skills from both of you You should just review other random stuff but keep the style. Whatever it is. Lol well done.
Wow, thank you for your kind words, @wash85 - glad you enjoy what we do! 👍
We’ve tried other stuff, but sadly, our audience don’t watch it!
Nice review , came here by accident but actually it was quite informative since we looking to buy a 3 series .
Thank you for being frank, Les, great to hear this helped you *B
Very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to create it. 👍
Thank you, happy to hear it helped you.
Great Review , you guys are great
Thank you Nicholas, thinking of getting one?
Absolutely love your video, am seriously considering this car, i do have a question, does the drive remain bumpy/stiff when you take it out of sport mode or it is still somewhat stiffer than other comfort cars? is it ideal for long drives? say 5 hour drives, especially for passengers. Appreciate your work guys!!
Thank you Jagdeep, yes this is a comfortable car and well suited to long journeys, have you test driven one yet? *B
@@PlanetautoUK I did, but it was in a rush I couldn’t get a proper feel to each of its driving modes. Was planning to go this coming weekend. A few people told me that the drive is a little stiff compared to the 5 series which is far more comfortable. Will try them out. Cheers guys!
It’s different to the 5 or X5, similarly the 7s etc - give it a proper test drive is our advice, thank you Jagdeep *B
I have the adaptive suspension, and no issues on the backside over potholes and speed bumps
Thank you Vishk
I really, really liked this review! The perspectives of driver/passenger was particularily enlightening, and useful, as it made my wife tag along for a test drive. we'll probably order one next week.
Oh, and you forgot to mention the fold down bootcompartment. Gives you a fair amount of extra space for larger items. Nifty.
D’oh! Thanks for the reminder, Ragnar! So glad you both liked the review - enjoy the car. 👍
When will you take delivery?
Ben & I are going to buy an i8 soon - it’s our favourite BMW...
@@PlanetautoUK They have the one we want in country already (another customer backed out). So if I order, Ill be able to take delivery last week of this month.
The i8 makes me drool. But... to pricey for me. Congratulations!
So you will have the car in time for Spring - lovely! 😍
Great video thanks both. Mine is coming in October. Would you advise winter tyres and also does the vCk end swing out much bring a rear wheel drive? It'll be my first.
Hi, apologies - this ended up in the spam cupboard, PrN links get through but not questions :| anyway it depends on the country in the UK, no and no - you can get it sideways with some serious driving but with what i did, no. It's remarkably hard to unsettle in even spirited driving, and i did try a few times, hope this helps Kris *B
@@PlanetautoUK thanks and sorry for the typos, glad you knew what I meant!
You’re very welcome, thank you Kris
@@PlanetautoUK I've got the msport coming in October. I don't have any add on packages so I don't think it'll be a patch on yours. Was hoping for park assist and reverse assist but think thatd be an add on.
Oh very nice, ours has gone back now, be nice to try one of the new M car’s next, ultimately we want an i8. Enjoy your new car, and keep us posted- yes those are likely in a convenience pack or similar.
great review most helpful.
Thank you, David - glad you liked it! 👍 *A
Great video as you’ve given loads of info. I currently have a 2014 f30 which I’ve owned since it was a year old and it has a usb in the armrest for my ancient 5th gen iPod nano. Is there a way to connect it to the g20’s audio system as I don’t bother with Spotify now?
Hmm, we’ll see what we can find out Mark, thank you
@@PlanetautoUKmuch appreciated. When I finally change I want to still be able to play music..kind of the new old fashioned way 😃
They’re USB-C in all new BMW cars, you can get get an adaptor to USB, and there’s no reason it wouldn’t work, can you see the playlist etc on the screen currently?
@@PlanetautoUKyes it gives me artwork too. It only uses the lightning cable and just stays in the armrest.
@kennedymark1 I’d presume it’d work, go and test drive one and take the Nano 😀
It is the M-Sport PLUS... not the M-Sport... there is over a £2000 difference between the two.
Pocket change when buying premium German, awesome motor
@@PlanetautoUK £50 a month when leasing.. so not to be sniffed at
TheAnwill indeed, well worth it
Nice video guys, full of information!! I’ll link this video in my current video description. Cheers :)
That would be lovely! Thank you, Matt 👍
Great video car 🚙 content. 👍
Thank you Mark *B
I have the 2020 model and you only get 26 miles from the battery and not the 37 claimed. Bit disappointing but still a good car though
That’s interesting to hear, thank you, it’s be good to test this car long term too.
Thank you Wooly
hey guys, what kind or ev range are you getting?
Hi Anu - we are getting around 35 miles 👍
That's very impressive guys. I am in the process of buying one. I didn't like the sport because of the stiff drive. Anyway nice video guys and wishing you the very best with your car. Safe drive
Thank you, Anu! Glad you liked the video. Sending you all the best as well!
Have you any tips to improve mpg efficiency
Steady acceleration and no fast launches would be our advice.
I like your interior review but first of all I decided now to spec mine with sunroof because of how airy and bright the interior looks on your video . Still not sure whether to go for the blue colour you have here or for the alpine white . I guess since this colour is specific to m sport there will be presumably less of those than whites but white does look pretty neat too.
White always suits especially with black styling and a coloured accents - mind you we do love the blue, you can never go wrong with a sunroof, I’d rather that then air con 😊 *B
Awesome review! Would like to see a practicality review if you have the chance.
- Love from Malaysia
Thank you, what would you like to see that we didn’t cover?
Maybe like a long term practicality review, transporting load, long distance travel, along those lines. I'm planning to get this car as a future daily driver for a family context. I'm sold with how great the car is, just concerned about the long term practicality as we often travel across states for holidays or travel to the airport with luggages.
Hope it isn't too much.
TheDiabloMadness no that’s great info, we’ll see what we can do, thank you
Hp?
Around 250bhp
Way too many cuts, makes it jarring to watch. But the content is very good
Thank you for the feedback, glad you like the content.
Is that not the m sport plus then
Hi speight303 - as far as we know it’s not. The press pack we had with the car show it as the 330e with the M Sport package.
Hope this helps 👍
Planet Auto thanks, got one on order looks like a great car
It is an M-Sport Plus Package 👍🏼
speight303 when did you order? Has it been delivered yet?
Hilarious!
Ta muchly
Don’t buy this rubbish my 330e has done 38000 miles nearly 4 years old and timing chain has just snapped NO good will from bmw absolutely disgusting from arguably the major vehicle manufacturer in the world BMW stands for Be More Wary
That’s not great, have you reached out to BMW via twitter? They may be able to give more assistance...
Planetauto tried it! Emailed bmw UK told me to do one emailed bmw Germany no reply now I’ve opened a case with the vehicle Ombusman to rebuild my engine £4850 plus nearly £500 in towing and rip off bmw inspection fee of £125 so disappointing it’s a great car besides that
Oh dear, here’s hoping that somewhat resolves your challenges.
We had same issue with a 118D out of warranty cost £5600 however I have done 110.000 miles in my 320D with absolutely no issues , changed this to 2016 M3 absolutely no warranty claims, my X5 has done 2 years and 34000 miles again..no complaints..I have just taken delivery of the above car and done 6000 miles thus far, 90MPG, interior is marked improvement on previous model, it’s very easy and torque is good, it’s certainly no “Viper” lol however ...
Please paint the garage doors just look scruffy and my OCD can’t allow me to take you seriously
