330e specific owner’s manual
Hi
I’ve just ordered a new 330e company car (it took more than 2 weeks to release the order from the lease company to bmw, I just found out today!). I’ve managed to download some g20 owner manual but can’t find any with 330e specific details (charging, range, dials info, etc). Can anyone please help me to get them? I know when I get my VIN I’ll be able to do so... but it’ll still take several weeks! I’m just too eager to read more about the 330e |

Go and take a look at a 330e in your local BMW garage and while admiring the beauty and splendour, take a cheeky pic of the VIN number in the bottom corner of the windscreen. 😉 |

That seems perfect! But, how can you do that Blackers? If I use a 2019 3 series VIN at Drivers Guide app I cannot open any 330e specific manual (just the "generic" one that matches that VIN). Where should I use that VIN to be able to open the 330e? Thank you.

Thank you so much Blackers!! The second VIN worked perfectly! (first one is a 2016 330e)

Eddie, thanks from me as well. I could only find this manual on the App on my phone, but I want to read it through in comfort on my PC. BMW seemed reluctant to offer me a route to download from the App

Great user manual
Hi all,
I am also eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new 330e and finding a user manual on here has only made the wait worse becuase of all the cool things the car seems to be able to do! This will be my first BMW and I am so looking forwards to playing with all the different settings! I just found out, reading the manual, that I should be able to get the car warm before my journey to work in the morning! Fantastic!! In terms of the wi-fi hotspot is this tethered to a UK provider or can we change it to another. I read that the charges and data allowances are pretty bad. Thanks in advance! Ps) Will I get a BMW ID to use on the App when I take delivery of the car? |

The Wi-Fi hotspot thing is pointless. For some reason, BMW uses a German provider and the prices, capacity and speeds are ridiculous. Just use the hotspot from your phone and problem solved.

Thanks!
I thought I read in the manual that Preconditioning was possible, prior to a set departure time? Is this just Air Conditioning? Thanks for the info about the Wi-fi. That seems to be what others have said TBH. |

It uses the air con, and warms up the seats and steering wheel (if you have that option). It uses the last set temp for the air-conditioning in the car.

Be warned though, if you are planning on doing as many electric miles as possible, preconditioning does affect an already pretty poor electric mileage range.
Don't believe the dealer, the car or the app when looking at battery range. Yesterday I left home with 30 mile range (best I've ever see it display). Managed about 15. (sedate suburban driving with kids in car, no preconditioning, in hybrid mode)

Thanks eddiehaug
willougs - I was lead to beleive that the new generation has a larger battery and hence range 'should' be possible for around 30-35 miles? My commute is on pretty slow roads. Average speed in my current car is a whopping 35 Mph! |
