If you have charger plugged in for precondition, you won't lose any miles.
On my July 20 build 330e, when pre-conditioning starts and the car is still plugged in from an overnight charge, the green light changes to white rather than flashing blue.

That's with the vehicle connected to a mains supply using the UK 3 pin plug charger, and to be honest, I think the same happens even when connected on a 7kW charger at the office with a Type 2 blue cable 🤔

I have unlocked and locked the car again to try and force it to charge and pre-condition at the same time, but it won't 🤷🏻*♂️

My 2016 F30 330e did exactly the same.
