Hi there. So my new 330E should be with me in a couple of weeks. Very excited. For those interested I went with an Edition in Tanzanite blue and Fjord Blue / Black Merino interior. It's a stunning combo in my humble opinion! I should add that I'm moving from a previous gen 330E M-Sport Plus. Love that car but time to change!

I'd like to ask those who took delivery of a G20 330E did they receive a type 2 public charging cable with their car along with the domestic 3-PIN PLUG charger. I only ask as a couple of reviews I read stated that it was supplied.

Tx.

No. You only get the standard 3-pin plug cable, which is too short to be practical for much use anyway......

Mine didn’t come with the type 2 cable in Oct 2019, but thought I’d seen they then subsequently did start supplying them with the car? Anyone with a more recent delivery who can confirm?

You're correct. In fact, it even shows on the UK configurator that you get a type 2 charger as standard now...

[VictorRomeo]

Thanks folks. It shows the same on the irish congigurator but it's unchecked by default. It's not listed on the order but perhaps it's added as standard. Better be!
When I got my first 330 in 2017, i used the domestic charger for a few days while waiting for my home charging unit to be installed. After that, never. So it's sorta pointless. I could do with a second type 2 cable for convenience...

Ordered Dec and collected two weeks ago.
Both cables present.

Great, so someone who orders a car for delivery at the start of production has to fork out EXTRA for a type 2 cable, but someone getting one now gets the cable included...... 😡 Plus, you can now have a towbar on the 330e but those of us with production in the first few months post launch can't...... 😡 BMW really not doing customer service very well at all. Come on, look after customers, especially those that buy before having ever seen a new model!

Don’t worry too much Petejigsaw. I ordered mine in Februsry and the price for my 330e has jumped over £2200 including the uplift in March which includes the rise for the charging cable,, again in July and now with the additional payment for metallic paint. I think the early cars were even cheaper even if they didn’t have a charging cable.

But of a pain definitely - but at least you should have got the £500 grant for home charging point. It dropped to £350 in March so the extra grant early on should cover the cost of the type 2 cable.

Also the new model is a bit more expensive, and for company car drivers, they only pay 8% tax on cars registered before April.
