i bought it too, few days after you guys. White 2023 330e replacing 2021 X5e. I was so worried that I will miss X5 and regrate about this change. BUT other than size related issue comparing with X5, I like everything else about it so far. Averaging 3L/100Km since factory. One thing bothers me tho, it's the new iDrive 8's air conditioner setup. If it's in automatic mode, you cannot turn ventilation off by lowering fan speed. Did I do somthing wrong?

What happened to the calipers! They look standard. I chose the Red for mine!M Sport Pro package should have them red or blue! 🤔🤔🤔

I'd have to go with the M340i xDrive for this car. It's definitely more enthusiast oriented.

Looks like they have brought the shape a little towards the f30 again sharp rear quarter lines more of a square bumper unlike the g20 larger rear taillights which is good,I’m glad they have not made the grill bigger.I’m not keep on the displays it looks like they forgot about how to design them and just dumped them on top of the dash do not like the floating screens.

So you get only 20 miles electric only for f 54k? No thanks 😂😂😂

Probably the best compact sedan on sale tying with the g70 and model 3 If I were to get one I’d go m340i. M3 is probably way too stiff for daily use

How's your MPG going with the 330e? That's the biggest thing I'm a little worried about. I've heard conflicting reports about efficiencies and whether or not it's worth getting the 330e over the 330i? Let me know your thoughts. thx

Since we generally do 50% of our driving in a month on EV power, we average between 50-70 MPG so far in the first 6 months. It all comes down to whether or not you charge it consistently. Even though the battery is small, starting off each day with a full charge will save you a surprising amount of money on premium fuel
