Sorry in advance for how many times I used the word "pootling" 😅

Just got the same car last week and having never owned both a Hybrid and an automatic car, it was a bit daunting at first. But thanks to your excellent video you have helped me tremendously with understanding the various modes, thank you 😊

You are so spot on with the kick back

Lovely car😍 Have this as my no 1 car next autumn when it’s time to change car! Thanks for a great review and it just makes me more convinced

Great video! You explained quite a few things most reviewers don't. Thanks for that :)

I have just bought the touring 330e in black with the blue calipers and m sport stitched seatbelts great car with all the modes, I’m over the moon with it 😍💯😎👌

Nice review ! Really calm tonality.. mine is coming in November.. the sedan version..

I'm just about to go from a stage 1 golf R with 375 bhp and 524 Nm of torque to a 330e. I went to test drive the 330e today and I was very happy with the power. Obviously no where near as extreme as the golf R, but it was nothing to be disappointed with at all

Couple questions, in sport mode...do you find that it charges the battery quicker? And what's the difference between the sport mode button and moving the transmission handle into S mode (which you can do) more like the old school bimmers?

Im currently in a 435d convertible too. Whats the 0-30 like in this vs the 435d. As the 435d has a faster 0-60 as well as xdrive. So glad you mentioned the 435d as it gives benchmark to compare the 330e to.

Its crazy; I watched this vid because I was considering getting one of these and then recognised the Town I grew up in haha

Driven this car for 15 months now. Yes its fast and I agree the handling is great. But in my opinion it needs xdrive, adaptiv susp and non run flat tyres. I got it with 19 wheels and performance tyres and it handles very good! You have to push it real hard to feel the extra weight….

Love this saloon car . Charge it 3 times a week and get 54 mpg at the moment Mixture of in town and highway . MSport mode for 10 seconds at speed is great for overtake in the motorway . Really flys. Preferred this to the m340i just for the hybrid .

Interesting vid 👍

ive got the X330e and I love the hybrid. I get around 15 miles on the charge which is plenty for inner city stuff. The energy recovery is pretty neat too. But I think its best of both worlds tbh. I charge it over night and set it to prep each morning so its ready to go at 8am. It deffo has more power with the extra electrical power. The downside is the boot is a pitiful size.

I can confirm! This is fun to drive.. also extremely comfortable in the city on ev mode

Thanks for these videos on the 330e mate. Ive bought one 2020 sedan m-sport now and getting used to all the modes. A question, mine doesnt make the wooop sound as you show when starting it up. Any setting which might be ticked to off or something? Cheers

Still awaiting a video to explain adaptive mode. I believe it links to sat nav destinations when inputted to control petrol vs electric to maximise range. So when you arrive in town it still has enough electrical energy left for you to drive in town Not sure if hybrid eco does that also. ?

Great video! I've just bought my own 330e and absolutley love it. One thing im just getting familiar with is the use of a hybrid/battery. The range on the battery is around 20 miles but know the range on these can ber nearer 30 to 35. What do i need to do to be able to improve the range showing on a full charge? is there a particular "thing" im not doing that i need to? cheers

It's an insane car to drive like you say. BUT! When you start pushing it, you feel a huge difference compared to the 320i/330i. The extra weight is defo noticable when you push it hard (which is not daily driving ofcourse :P)

In Sport mode: is the internal combustion engine on constantly, even when the car stands in a traffic jam and is it possible to turn off the start stop system? THIS would probably be good for the engine if you want to accelerate a little faster because it does not turning on engine at high revs with cold oil

Hi, I think I am getting one of these as a company car but as I can’t charge at home I’ll likely only charge 1-2 times per week. In your opinion will that be detrimental to the battery and more so is the mpg particularly poor in that scenario ? One final question is based on my ability to only charge 1-2 per week, which mode would be best…hybrid ? Thank you (mine would be the saloon version)

Was the sunroof available in the UK 🇬🇧 here in Canada 🇨🇦 I seen the Touring with the full glass sunroof but they taken the touring model out just the 4 door salons or salons

Hi Great video thankyou very informative waiting for delivery in July of my 330E xdrive msport pro edition more excited about the extra boost after watching your video thanks again

Hi George, does the xtraboost work even when the car hasn’t been charged up?

With a flat battery, what mpg will do on the motorway?

Hi, I had mine delivered last week, but I don't have the touch screen on the infotainment screen and reverse assistant. Do you have these features on your car? The sales person said it was due to shortage of electronic chips and it was mentioned on my order of the car. Thank you.

I ordered my 330e August 23rd last year and I’m still waiting, date has changed from Beginning of February then to March, then to the 4th July and now beginning of august lol, felt like cancelling it a couple of times out of sheer frustration, if it’s not been down to covid it’s been the ship that blocked the suez cancel and the latest one is because of the wiring loom being produced in Ukraine which I don’t disbelieve, I just want the bloody thing to arrive 😩

Would be great if bmw made a 330de like Mercedes did with the c class

Do you prefer this or a 330i and which one is faster in your opinion?

Yea

I have owned a 330e for over three and a half years. My only complaint would be the electric range. I get around 24 miles in the summer and 16 miles in the winter. No where near the 36 miles they advertise.

Was that 148miles to a full tank 😮

Confused how you used the extra boost when you said electric battery was 0%

I own one of these and have done 3 track days with it. Remember, it's a family sedan with a big battery in the back. BUT, it's a ton of fun... for it being a big family sedan with a battery in the back . And, I cannot stress this enough, the Pirelli Cinturado P7s that it come with are absolute hot garbage on the track. Sure, you can pull 1.2g into a braking zone. Once. Then you're sliding all over the place for the rest of the lap. I'm waiting until these are done to put some Pilot Sports on - hopefully those are better!

The 0-60mph on them is quite poor for what's under the bonnet. I mean it's not even quicker than my F30 30d Xdrive. I am curiously looking at these and feeling a little underwhelmed.

👍👍

What’s the Mercedes equivalent to the 330e

e61 WITH 2.0 L DIESEL AND 8SPEED ZF BOX WOULD SURPRISE YOU.

Feeling sick and a headache from a 0-60 in 6 secs, really? How were you getting around prior to this, on the back of a giant snail?

You must be coming from a bicycle, because under 300hp in a 4200lb car is now “fast enough to make you sick” lmao. The exaggeration is insane. My dad just purchased one of these and we’ve been driving it for a week. It’s quick, and it’s fun. But if someone was sleeping in the back and you floored it, they’d stay asleep lol. A little overkill on the exaggeration

😅😅😮
