The thing I am wondering is the break-in mileage as suggested by BMW (before you should floor it basically), should be 2500km but is that just for the ICE?
I have 5500kms now but less than 1000kms on ICE so technically the engine is not broken in? |

This will be the same for many users, who try and run EV for much of their mileage. My experience with many engines over the years, engines can perform better after 10,000 or more miles. That will take years for some users. |

My bad, I was not clear enough.
The total distance is a little bit more than 50km. Longest I have been able to travel on one charge in electric mode is 58.7km. I more or less always drive in electric mode Last edited by Mazman; 02-19-2020 at 03:29 PM.. |

I don't get it. You can get 58km to a charge and I get 28km. It can't be temperature related as Sweden is probably even colder than here. Have I got a dud battery I wonder?

With regards to the range there are multiple factors that impacts the range.
We can start with the battery control as that is easier to check as a start. What is your value set for that option? Not sure how much impact this has but in order to be able to compare. If you are not sure you just press the button above the start-stop button and that will take you to the battery control menu and you can see/set the value.

Hey,
I also live in sweden have the same issue. I work on battery development, so perhaps I can give you an answer to help you out. You drive your car short distances everytime right? 10 km each way , all starting from about 5 Celsius. The battery is designed to work above room temperature, hence the battery will intentionally consume energy to rise to the target temperature. Once there you ll get good and efficient performance, like all th eother people posting, which most likely get those range figures (ca 50km) from a single ride and battery preconditioned. So to be honest, you ll never get their range with your daily driving scenario. Best you ll get out of it is about 35 Km in winter. Summer should be better. In short, ther eis nothing worng with your car. |

As I have understood it controls how much charge is to be available at your destination. With the setting 80% then 20% charge is to be available at your destination? Mine is set to 100%
Also are you setting your destination in the GPS on you drives? I do it all the time. Quote:

Re. the Battery Control, if it only works when you're in Battery Control mode then it doesn't matter what percentage it's set at if you're not in that mode. If you were in Battery Control mode and set it at 100% then your entire journey would be done on petrol as it would preserve 100% of battery power until you wished to use it (by going over to Hybrid or Electric mode). I think! |

I don't see it much different than driving ICE. We don't get the same economy driving a multiple of short distances, from cold starts, than we do starting once cold and running say 5-litres of fuel. For me the difference is we don't typically run ICE, filling say 5 litres at a time, plus limit use to 4-litres, to preserve a litre. EV focuses the mind on the where the energy goes. The ICE range is typically more hidden with multiple cold starts, and short trips, the average may be lower, than longer runs, but not so obvious as a limited EV range. Plus the EV cold starts are so energy hungry, no benefit of waste heat as we have with the ICE as we add miles. I'm interested in the 'recovery' time/mileage for an EV to get to the most efficient kW/100km, from a cold start. ICE can take 20 miles (or more) to get back to a consumption average, from a 5°C cold start. |

For my drive pure electric is sufficient there is no need for me to have the ICE start for 2km and the shut of.
I rather run the ICE on a longer trip in order to keep in shape. |

Great to read this feedback it’s really interesting to get real world experience. I’m currently hesitating between the 330e and 320d, however I do 25000kms per year and only the work drive is doable in electric mode. (100km a week). Destiny is diesel for now I think |

So, me and a friend got two 330e, and both notice the following:
- If we drive full electric for some kilometers (highway, with some climbs, 120km/h+), the car will start to loose speed up to a point where will not be able accelerate more than 80kmh. It stays like that for some km then. Not sure if the car is really meant to run for longer km full-electric, at high speed. Two different cars with the same behaviour (we did get the car the same day tho; can be a problem with a particular production series). |

Wow
Today I reached my all time high! Exceptional!
Combination of around 15% city and 85% highway, the latter getting strong tailwind for most of the drive and being able to stick to the slow lane.
