330e - who uses what ?

Sorry to exclude non PHEV variants
So only 2 or so months in and still finding my feet
But typically am using standard hybrid as want to make use of the electricity but I'm a petrol head at heart so cannot resist sport mode and have tried (mainly due to bad weather of late) to not use xtraboost a great deal. Sport mode is just a luscious mode to drive in, the pick up is so quick and effortless
Xtraboost is an absolute beast, it literally does pin you back in your seat
Downside is petrol consumption, you truly can see the needle move if you use it, I think summer will be fun for sure
What I have done is wait for the engine to heat up before putting foot down
Driving in hybrid using electric doesn't get the ICE up to temperature so when needed you put foot down ICE kicks in and engine is cold, this just doesn't sit well with me? Surely long term this can't be good?

I do love the car though,more and more tbh
