BMW 330e Hybrid 330e Sport Pro 4dr Step Auto 4d Owner Review

Company Car purchased through an ECO scheme, so I had a decent choice before going for the 330e. Utterly silent on electric, and not much noisier when the engine kicks in. Economy is really hard to quantify, as you'll get 20-25 miles on battery, plus a bit more with regenerative braking etc as you drive. The boot space is reduced by the batteries as you'd expect. Holds a week's shopping for 4 no problems, but I've not tried it with suitcases etc yet. 3,7kw charging is a bit restrictive if you are out and about, or 7 hours overnight from a 13A socket from 0%. The range is fine for most weekend journeys, and being a hybrid, you aren't panicking if the battery is drained. The interior has everything you could want (electric memory seats would be an advantage if you have two drivers of different heights). Satnav is easy to use as you'd expect. Driver profile keyed to the key(!) means that the heating, phone and radio settings are set for multiple users. You tend to drive it for maximum economy, but when you put the foot down, it takes off. Handling is great, it never seems as big a car as it is. The Tourer might be even better but wasn't available at the time.
