Mine takes about 5 hours to fully charge on the 3-pin and 3.5 on the rapid (-ish!) charger. |

Connected Drive app is great when it works but it does seem to partially disconnect from time to time, once for 24 hours+. I could still remote lock/unlock but couldn't see location or charge state. And the Connected Drive website Remote Cockpit->Efficiency tab doesn't update with any of my driving stats. Will query when it's at the dealer next week to get this damn brake fluid error sorted... |

Anybody notice strange behaviour sometimes when braking approaching a junction? I almost felt like I had to brake harder sometimes? It's a strange sensation I can't quite explain it?

Yes, if you've got Sat Nav enabled or it spots something substantially slower in front then it will often automatically apply the regen brakes gently on approach. Sometimes I've found it gets things wrong and applies the regen brakes, then you go to apply a bit more brake and it stops applying regen braking and you get a jerk as the car stops slowing down so much, then you have to put on more braking making it jerk again. Haven't quite got to the bottom of exactly when but there is definitely something a bit odd at times...

However the fact you have to put your foot down hard to come to a standstill is a bit strange. Almost the same feeling as when your brake pads are a little low! |

I also get the odd jerk from the gearbox at times when slowing down/changing down. It's almost like the regen/actual brakes/gearbox aren't quite in sync. |

I think on an MSport Plus it's worded as extended High Gloss or something. This then includes kidney surrounds.

Yeah I noticed that. As in, "I've run it for a month and this is what I've found..."
So, would folks pay me £500 each if I sat there for a night and wrote one in detail? ;-) To this end and a bit completely off topic but this is my car history, I think I've got a "bit" of experience: ;-) 1998 Rover 216SE (sorry, it was my Uni car, pile of ol' s**t but it had electric windows, central locking, a sunroof, 6 speaker stereo and fake plastic wood trim) - 2nd hand, pain in the arse car 1994 BMW 318i SE - new, got side swiped 2 weeks after delivery. Spent 1/3rd of my salary paying for it but lived at home ;-) 1993 Porsche 968 Coupe Luxury - 2nd hand (insurance cost me £3500/year!?) Doh but by that point I'd gone contracting so it wasn't a biggie. Got stolen and was involved in a high speed Police chase, crashed and burned out :-( 1997 Peugeot 306 GTi-6 - new (company car) Got a 6 month speeding ban on this bad boy. Went to live in Germany and Australia. 1998 VW Golf GTi Turbo - new (company car) Slow and rolly. 1999 Audi S3 - new (company car) Great car but broke it, a lot. 2003 BMW M3 (manual) - new - only had a it a year, too many license points. 2004 Merc 270CDi Sport Auto - new (company car) - most unreliable car I've ever had. 1990 Merc 560 SEC (weekend classic, ABS, traction control, electric memory seats & sunroof, rear electric blind, bloody quick - just not round corners, should never have sold it) 2006 BMW 330d M Sport (manual) - new - very quick but very bumpy ride. 2008 Merc CLS 320CDi (with Brabus chip) - new - quick and not bumpy. 2011 Peugeot 508 SW (163PS auto) - 2nd hand - not a bad family car for the money we had to spend 2015 Mercedes 300h AMG Premium Plus - new (company car) - lots of reliability problems. Electric motor was feeble. 2016 Ford Mondeo Titanium TDCi (210BHP) - 2nd hand - a serious alternative to the German's. Quick, quiet, comfortable, reliable and economical. Loads of space. Build quality a bit iffy in places, bad depreciation (lost £8k in 2 years, aside from running costs). 2019 BMW 330e M Sport Plus - new (company car) |

Just look at the UK section of Bimmerpost! Incredible take up rate for the ThreeThirtyeeee I count about 15 threads and it's by far the dominant model ordered.
Amazing how things change, I feel BMW have absolutely nailed the PHEV section 330e, 530e and X5 45e are all priced very very aggressively in the respective fields. This is how BMW should have followed up the initial hype of the i3 and i8 launch. All that momentum was lost but it looks like it's back with a bang now. Congratulation to all the new 330e owners and orders. Don't hold back on updates, range comments and general feedback please. We are all watching and it's hugely useful. Time for the 330e to have its own thread section

Wireless charge pad is charge only, I don't have this option but basically use the USB-C socket under the arm rest for charging. Or you can set iDrive to view the iPhone as an iPod and not activate CarPlay. Providing it's connected via USB it then appears as an audio source in Media. |

The power supply does not matter, the 330e can only take up to 16 A (3,7 kW) from single phase so single phase cable is enough. 3-phase cable is typically more expensive and less flexible & more cumbersome to store/handle. The only reason to buy a thicker 3-phase cable futureproofness; if one expects to charge some other car with 2 or 3 phase charger in the future.
