My new 330e xDrive Touring arrived this week!

Yesterday I delivered back my company car 330e sedan, due to the fact that I'm starting at a new company next Monday. Given that I had to return the car, I used to opportunity to get myself a new 330e, this time an xDrive Touring version in Tanzanite Blue M-Sport, which is the one I always wanted but couldn't get when I had to choose the company car.

The car is fully loaded. The only thing I didn't choose was the full leather, but I do have Merino leather, which comes with the plus of having a center console in black, instead of the color of the seats, which I really, really like.

The car is wearing 18's because I was afraid the 19's would affect the ride in a car that's already on the firm side. This new generation, or at least the G21, is quite a bit softer than the 330e from 2019 though.

For those interested, I've created a post where I'm documenting some of the differences between the two cars as I spot them (https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1782089).

The pictures are not great, but I had to take them in the garage due to bad weather outside.

I'm thinking to make an owner's review in video format when I get the chance. Most reviews out there are made by folks borrowing the car for 2 days who focus on pointless stuff.

It depends. In pure electric, now in winter (-3C (27F) to +3C (37F)), between 30-40Kms depending on how you drive. In summer I've seen people get over 50Kms.

In long trips, you can expect at least 1/3 of the trip in electric mode at mixed speeds. This is thanks to regen and to coasting/regen in electric mode.

Hi ediehaug,

It is the best looking touring imo.
Can you please let me know the exact measurements for the luggage compartment, I know that it’s smaller than 320d... The only information I’ve found is the capacity in liters. I need to know the width, length and the heigth before order. And also how high is the hump?

Many thaks for the help.

Beautiful car! But I think mine is better!!! No offence...
Probably your car cost over £££€€€ a lot!!!

But I love this situation in Norway forces you to make the right decision!! Eco friendly country!! )) 330e touring!! Is the future!!

Unfortunately I’ve just got a 6 cylinder diesel the best package.. in the UK! It’s a monster!!! 🥵

Hahaha, a 6-cilynder here is guaranteed bankruptcy

Colour-wise though, you've stand no chance

And no, not a lot more, actually quite a lot less. Hybrids like the 330e receive a nice discount in fees. About 10K GBP for this car, if not a bit more. So here the 330e is cheaper than the 320/330 i/d, for example.
