So all up from my fleet company I can get a circa £45k car for under £500/month "all in" whether standard M Sport or M Sport Plus. No way you can get that with a private purchase.
Range on the new version is meant to be 15-20 miles more than the old one, new version of the 2.0i turbo engine will be more fuel efficient, car weighs less.
Most of the time I just potter around these days, even on the motorway sitting in the inside lane. If I want to boot it then 290 BHP is more effective than a Prius :-)
Let's face it, we're at the start of the electric car revolution and V2 is going to be far from perfect but pending a drive in a 320d to check out suspension/wheel options/comfort I think I'm going to give it a try.
Will just have to order a roof box... ;-)

Just ordered a 330e, due for delivery mid September according to BMW Genius.
Paying 41% tax plus lower bandings in Scotland makes you focus on the battery range. Certainly it is very reasonable compared to my current Mercedes C300h.
The M Sport I have opted for has 18' non run flats so should qualify for the 41 mile 8% next year. Although I get differing answers from BMW as to whether it does.
