  • Vehicle concept

    The innovative drive concept of the BMW 330e* comprises the new even more powerful BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine, the highly efficient eDrive electric motor and BMW EfficientDynamics technologies. The result is more output, better acceleration and substantially lower fuel consumption. In figures: the system output is 185 kW (252 hp) and 420 Nm of torque with a combined fuel consumption from 1.7 l/100 km. The BMW 3 Series Sedan plug-in hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km in 4.4 seconds and achieves a top speed of 230 km/h. 

  • Range and charging

    Setting new destinations: with its purely electric range of up to 60 km, the BMW 330e* makes the perfect travelling companion. The energy for this is stored with the liquid-cooled high-voltage battery, which can be charged simply and quickly at home using a normal 230V power socket in 02:50 hours or with the BMWi Wallbox. In addition, the vehicle can also be charged on journeys at public charging stations with cable available in the BMW accessories shop.

  • Intelligent Energy Management

    Intelligent energy management is one of the main pillars of the BMW eDrive concept. This system coordinates the interaction of all BMW drive components with the electric motor in order to combine the best possible efficiency with great driving dynamics, and to increase the electric range.

  • Drive modes

    In eDrive drive, the drive modes HYBRID, ELECTRIC, and BATTERY CONTROL can be selected using specific control buttons. This makes it particularly easy to quickly adjust the plug-in hybrid to different driving situations. The start always takes place in HYBRID mode, which ensures the optimal interaction between a combustion engine and an electric motor.

  • Connectivity

    Whether you need to know the battery charge level, the remaining range or the location of the nearest charging stations, the BMW Connected App allows you to call up the current consumption and efficiency values of your BMW 330e* whenever you want. Using the remote functions, it is also possible to control the charging operation and measure the efficiency for every journey and, thanks to helpful tips, optimise it for a greater range. To provide a perfect climate, the temperature in the vehicle can be very conveniently preset via the iDrive Controller or the BMW Connected App.

  • XtraBoost

    In the XtraBoost driving mode, the electric motor supports the combustion engine with added performance of up to 30 kW (41 hp). In this case the drive reacts more sensitively to the driver's acceleration commands. The clearly noticeable boost function provides superior engine power and thus creates a unique, particularly sporty driving experience.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

  • * Available from 07/2019. Data is preliminary.

    BMW 330i Sedan:
    Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 6.4
    CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 147

    The values of the vehicles labeled with (2) are preliminary.

    The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.

    The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.

    For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/angebote/verlagsprodukte/leitfaden-kraftstoffverbrauch.html.
