This may not be the fastest car in the world, but it has enough power for me to be honest and i don't live in Germany, so any speed more than 80 mph (70 mph is national speed limit) is irrelevant as hardly drive it over that speed. 300 bhp and i can put it in silent EV mode when leaving the house early in the morning and i will never have to spend on petrol for commuting from home and work where there is a free charging point as well. I'm quite tempted by the M340i, but thinking about the overall much smaller ownership cost and the benefits of being a hybrid car with driving pure EV option of 330e is more favourable and it is not a slow car by no means. Pretty sure it can make additional 80 to 90hp with ECU tune and will get similar power as a stock M340i.

I'm looking at getting one of these. Thank you for showing the EV performance. Most other videos have a lot of talking, this was straight to the point. A test drive is in order once we get back to normal life.

Is the gearbox connected to the electric motor, or does ot feel like a pure ev in the way it drives while in full ev mode?

@JohanDeHaes

2 жыл бұрын

In the technical specs it says: synchronous electric motor integrated into eight-speed Steptronic transmission, generator function for recuperating energy for the high-voltage battery. As far as I know, when you are driving in EV mode, it doesn't use the steptronic transmission. It does feel like you are driving a real EV, it just doesn't feel very powerful, because the electric motor only has a power of 113hp. Still a great car, because you get a petrol car and electric car combined into 1.

I cannot find this vehicle anywhere online, i am from California and it seems like the car doesn’t exist on the market. Does anyone know why that is?

waarom is de 292pk versie trager dan de 252pk versie? die doet de 0-100 namelijk in 5.1. En wat is de snelheidsindicatie op de vooruit? is dit een reflectie van ergens of heeft deze auto een heads up display?
