I love your content. I'm patiently awaiting production and delivery of my 530e, so I've been watching your BMW-centric content. Super excited :)
Gotta keep in mind that this may have factory or dealer incentives, which may differ based on region, and will likely have annual sales and previous year model sales. Just checked my local region and it currently comes with 0.9% financing and a $2k discount. Definitely still pricey, but that's to be expected with BMWs. The 330i has a $3500 discount, taking the purchase price down a bit more than the 330e, but as soon as you include the federal tax credit, the 330e should still come in at a sizable discount to the 330i, even more so in states with EV tax credits. Why anyone would buy a 330i over this is anyone's guess. Maybe either availability or ignorance that the 330e even exists?
With nightly charging and using the full battery daily, annual gas savings alone could be worth ~$900 a year. It'll likely require fewer oil changes and will require fewer brake pad replacements... and the car should last longer overall. I imagine it can be pre-heated in the garage using an electric heater (please verify before trying), something the 330i can't do. It can start every day with a full battery, reducing trips to the gas station. Range is enough for some drivers to be 100% electric on their commutes, and that can include more drivers with workplace charging. What's not to like? I think it's probably rare for anyone buying a 330 to be all that concerned about a slight reduction in storage space.
In warmer climates, range will exceed the quoted range. EPA factors in colder temperatures. It could lose some range in colder climates, maybe 20%-30% on really cold days. Of course, gas mileage would also suffer in an ICE, but you can't pre-heat the car in the garage using the plug as the energy source. Again, I'm assuming here with the 330e based on how other PHEVs work.
I have the 21 BMW 330E and absolutely love it. We have a Model Y as well. Great to have both as they are fun to drive for completely different reasons.
BMW is the one you want to be in and enjoy. Model Y is soul crushing cheap and just too plain and basic. Point A to B car strictly, no joy.
8:41 are you sure it’s not possible with iPhone? BMW was featured in Apple’s keynote when they launched Car Keys in Wallet. So any new BMW should support it. Perhaps what’s new with this 3 series is just that it’s the first to support Samsung’s car key feature.
Edit: they call it BMW Digital Key.
I'll keep the 40 miles on battery our 2018 CT6 2.0E plug-in gets. And then when in hybrid mode gets 35 mpg hwy, 40 mpg city.
Valid, but that's a completely different size. How's the reliability been? My friend's 2.0e had a bunch of battery charging issues and the dealer bought it back
might try fixed focus when inside car, video kept going in and out of focus.
Finally seen a black 330e in Georgia.
Love this car it was the first plug in car I drove (2017). Hated electric cars before I drove it and it made me change my mind. I think of it as my gateway ev 🤣😂 I think the A Class saloon is better now as it has CCS plug and can do 45 miles on electric only.
Interesting. Why did you hate electric cars before? Was it because of a lack of experience with them, or because of a bad experience with them?
@@davidsommen1324 I was one of those "where is all the electric going to come from?" "what about all that cobalt?", "where are we going to charge all these electric cars" person. 2 years later I bought a Tesla Model 3 LR. LOL
I always say that the best way to change someone's mind about EVs is to let them drive one, you're a prime example of that. I'm glad you've found the light!
Thanks. Learning all I can about the 330e I have ordered. Can't wait to get it in my own garage!
I àm currently trying to decide between a 330e and Tesla model 3. The only reason considering bmw 330e is the dealer is giving me $2k military discount and there is $5,836 fed tax incentive. Both cars $49,540……but bmw would be almost $8k cheaper. So torn on what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
I ruled out the model 3 for myself after thinking I’d definitely order one. Rented one for a week and I didnt love the full touchscreen on the model 3, I find it distracting and like I’m driving a computer. It’s fast as hell in a straight line but didn’t hug curves that well and felt a little unsteady. It’s also a stiffer ride than I like. Finally I do get range anxiety even with the large battery so I realized I wasn’t ready to commit to a full EV as this would be my only car.
I won’t consider a full EV. Still have Sandy (9 days with no power) fresh in my mind.
Hi Kyle, since you have a model 3 yourself How would you choose between the two cars?
I am currently picking between model 3 standard plus vs the 330e xDrive. AWD is important to me as its snowy here during winter and the BMW being 8-10k USD more expensive(maybe less if i reduce the options I've chosen).
Full video comparing the cars coming!
@@OutofSpecReviews Great! Looking forward to it.
Is the $8k to $10k price premium of the BMW including the federal tax credit? (Assuming you’re in the US)
A great set of winter tyres makes awd not necessary in snow conditions, unless you are planning to go off-road too.
@@2013AirForce I’m from Canada they have about 5k USD incentive
That's a great car for now - daily driver and space for the standard family (1 dog 1 child). I am impressed that you can review excellent ICE - Hybrid and EV´s. That's rare. thank you
the reason lexus places buttons differently is because they orient differently in Asia, most japanese manufacturers do that. Its like apple does with computers, complete opposite to what the majority does, except asia might run more cars than the west
@10:57: RIP phone
That is strange that a lot of PHEV‘s have such slow chargers built-in you would think Mercedes Benz would use at least as fast of a charger as a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV for god sake, OK back to the video
The controls do make sense. Until you get to the sunroof. I had to (OH NO) open the owner's manual. I felt my manhood dwindle
Also this car does not look good in white. Mine is "Sunset Orange". I was also drawn to the blue, but the cognac leather really compliments the orange.
I want to see your driving review.
Coming in a couple days!
@@OutofSpecReviews I hope you’ll compare to the Model 3, since the two cars are the same size with similar price points. This is the buyer choice I’m faced with.
Please make a video on how a American BMW is different from a German BMW.
Just sold my Iphone and got the Samsung. By the way, does it come in Black !
So maybe it has changed since the making of this video but; it allows iphones to do it as well; at least mine does it lol.
I think it's only the iPhone I didnt think Android phones worked as a key. I just bought a 330e and that what the bmw genius said anyhow
I can’t imagine it being great for combustion engine to be called into action at any time during kick down even when it is cold. This is a problem with all hybrids and not just the bmw. I don’t think these cars will be very reliable once they are out warranty and on the second hand market.
