I've just seen this on Instagram and I wonder whether this even makes sense. Can the car eventually handle those 400HP without extra modifications to the chassis or other components?

LOL this is inaccurate..I would not call it a fake, but they probably sum up the power of electric accumulator + engine map...that is the result

I mail them for my car they have 340 hp
I have the B48 B20A engine but if you have the B48 B20B you make over 400 hp to the 330e its same like 330i + electric

Why does BMW have two different A and B models for the 330e? And what kind of lottery is it not knowing which one you'll end up with? :O

I can imagine USA market or somewhere non-EU has the B-version while us in Europe have A-version, I can't imagine that I would for example possibly have the B-version while you would have the A-version when both of us are in Sweden/EU...?

How did you/them find out which one you got btw? I've tried looking it up through VIN number et.c but couldn't see anything stating if it was A or B version..

I believe its dictated by what trim you go for.
Anything less than a 330i youll get the weaker A version. If its the 300i youll get the B version.

That's from my limited research.

I don't think this combination exists?

As all 330e's use the same B48 B20A (182bhp) petrol engine.

Only the 330i has the B48 B20B (254bhp) petrol engine

Det var på meca.se som motorkoden står, välj som privatperson osv..

Tror inte det är 326hk riktigt.. sen är ju elmotorn på totalt 114hk också. Men man kan väll inte bara plussa på de siffrorna heller för att få en totaleffekt? Hur som helst är det imponerande effektökning i alla fall! Vill verkligen se riktiga tider uppmätta..

Correct. You can't just add the two together. For one thing, the electric motor takes the place of the torque converter. Some car companies do just add them together but they are misleading the buying public.

Någon här som befinner sig i Stockholm? Skulle vara guld värt att få uppleva skillnaden innan beslut tas. Bjuder självklart på lunch/ önskad fika... nya bakdäck😁 som tack

Wrong my friend. Some 330e's have the A and some the B.

I have the B in mine.

How do you find out which one you have? Is it labeled somewhere?
