Hi folks,

I have a 330i M Sport, 2019 model 2020, and I’m very happy with the car.

However, the BMW dealer where I bought my car is offering me a sweet deal to get a 330e M Sport 2020 model 2020.

I’m considering it, but I would like to hear from you what I will loose changing from the 330i to the 330e.

Dealer told me the 330e does not have M suspension, but it has M brakes, M steering wheel and so on. Will the M suspension be very missed?

Thanks!

Just out of curiosity. What kinda deal are they giving you? Unless they make money, idk how they can give anyone a nice deal without the buyer losing money somehow.

And the base suspension is really nice. I’ve read multiple reviews where people praise the base suspension and prefer that over adaptive or M sport, saying the other two are stiff. I drove an M340i with the m suspension and it was stiff compared to my car. And for daily driving and stuff, the base suspension handles pretty damn well too. Unless you regularly track your car or treat public roads like a race track, I don’t think you’ll miss the upgraded suspension.

Best deal is to keep ur car and save that money. Its not financially wise to change ur car in like a year? Ur sales advisor really know how to dig money from their customers.

Does the M Sport 330e not have the M Sport suspension? I'm thinking of ordering a 330e with the M Sport package at some point, and I would normally spec the adaptive suspension because the M Sport suspension can be quite hard, but if the 330e doesn't have the M Sport suspension, should I even bother with the adaptive suspension?

No you shouldn’t. The 330e MSport has a unique suspension to cater for the extra weight. It’s very good and you’d be better saving your money.

The adaptive M suspension is an option, it is not the standard for the 330e. While I would want the suspension, before I told the OP to save his money I would want to know how good a deal the dealership is offering.

Man exactly... hahaha!! Unless SA offering a discount which is even more than your 1st year depreciation rate. Otherwise, fuck it. Keep the 330i and drive it for another 3-4 years till ur heart content.

The deal, which at first seemed sweet is quite bitter, therefore I’m keeping my 330i which is brand new with less than 3900 miles on it.

Thanks for everyone who helped posting here.

It was a good reduction in the monthly interest rate in the financing (from 0,99% a month to 0,79% a month), 3 years of free maintenance and a BMW Wallbox to charge the car.

But the amount offered for my current 330i was not good.

The 330i is a real nice car. When you’re bored of it, get a JB4 or a flash tune. It’s like getting a new car all over again

I think he was replying to me, NOT the OP.

These are very common sales tactics. They sell you a car that won't sell well to you for a decent price and then use your trade-in as a big profit maker in the used car department.

If you think about the economics, it doesn't make any sense that a dealership would do this other than to screw you. Dealerships that do this are pretty scummy.
