Congratulations! It looks amazing! Please keep us posted on the suspension/smoothness or lack thereof that has been throughly discussed. Just to confirm, yours didn't come with the adaptive suspension right? Anyways, enjoy your beautiful car!

Thanks vikes!

Confirmed, no adaptive, but I am happy to report that the ride quality is excellent. It really is a perfect balance between sport and luxury. This is with the 19" 791 wheels with a/s RFTs.

Also, no scraping up my driveway (our 2015 Sienna scraped the lip as our driveway has a bit of angle to it). I am very happy with the outcome, this 330e is very impressive.

Gorgeous! Just took delivery of a 23 330i myself and can confirm the ride without adaptive suspension is plenty comfortable. That "e" is a sought after model, definitely curious to hear how the fuel economy stacks up.

Super early results, but I have driven 38 miles so far, used .1 gallon, 99.5MPG average (I tried battery hold on this last trip).

The battery goes quickly for sure, but if you are gentle with the throttle, and allow it to coast / use minimal braking pressure, you can definitely capture some regen, and it will stay in electric mode the entire time.

I am using level 1 charging, right around 7 hours to full. Ran some errands today, all electric, came home, plugged it in, will be 100% for tonight's activities.

I really think the concept is well executed. It is very efficient, but surprisingly quick, and the G20 chassis is really dialed in. The drivetrain is seamless, and when the ICE kicks on, you barely notice it. It is so isolated from wind noise, and very comfortable.

Very nice! I was looking into Skyscraper Grey and changed it. Now that I see it in the sun like that, I would have been very happy to have left it.

What color did you go with Dan? I am very pleased with skyscraper. In low light, it has a pronounced blue gray hue. In the sun it is liquid silver-gray. I thought it may be plain, but definitely loving it.

Llumar ceramic tint today, major heat rejection from stock, and completes the blacked out look.
