Just to add another choice to the mix - unless you're doing mega miles, or have a particular love for diesel, it's worth considering the petrol equivalent.
I opted for a 320i instead of a 320d and first time in a petrol car in nearly 10 years. The B48 is beautifully smooth and quiet, and I can easily average 45 mpg without much care on a motorway run. Now given the fact the 20d was £50 a month more expensive, and diesel is 5p more per litre, I'm never going to recoup that doing 10k miles a year. |

Personally, as a company car driver and 'part-time' petrol head, I just hate the noise and rattle of a 4 cylinder diesel so not had one for over 5 years now. But I don't do huge mileage, under 10k a year so suits me. Think the OP drives a 330e so not sure on the angle of this thread

Switch to Sport Plus on the twisty's and MPG takes a tumble but the fun factor more than makes up for it |

I picked up second hand 330d xdrive (6,600miles on it, reg Oct 19) just before Christmas. Great engine and very frugal if you want it to be. I did 340miles yesterday and got 49.7mpg.. can't complain. Go for the 3.0l lump!

Also recommend looking at a petrol unless you have a stupidly long commute. Smoother, cleaner and better sounding.
Long journey in the 330i - 40ish MPG. Day to day mid 30's. |

Currently on 40.6mpg over the last 1000 miles of mixed driving. I've a 2020 G20 330d xdrive.
My last F30 320d xdrive was averaging 43.5mpg. The 3 litre engine is worth it though! |

I have a 330i G21 after changing from a 320d F30. I have just done a 800 mile trip around Scotland and averaged 47mpg - that included some very spirited driving through the highlands (my 320d did around 55mpg on the same trip). Just food for though. I am so chuffed I went for a petrol this time - get pretty poor mpg on short trips but the offset in cost makes it the better option in my opinion.
