2020 (70)BMW 3 Series 330E XDRIVE M SPORT

Browns of Richmond are delighted to offer this impressive BMW 330e PHEV, one of the most popular plug-in hybrids currently available and a great way to enter the world of alternative fuel power trains. The technology involved in mating two powertrains into one and become greater than the sum of their parts is just awesome. In this example you have a 2.0 petrol engine, capable of decent fuel economy on its own, mated to an automatic transmission. In addition, the car is fitted with a 12-kWh battery capable of powering the whole car for around 20 to 30 miles. With clever and innovative technology, the two between them can deliver some mind-boggling economy stats. One of the biggest differences between a Full Hybrid such as a Toyota Prius and a Plug in Hybrid like this BMW 330e is control over the battery, in the PHEV the driver has the ability to drive the car on pure electric for longer periods of time and at higher speeds. Essentially if you have a short commute this car can be driven in the same way you would a normally aspirated car but only via the battery, making it incredibly fuel efficient. Unlike a full Battery electric vehicle, the Plug in Hybrid driver doesn’t need to worry about longer journeys and having to plan stops, it can completely rely on its petrol engine full time if required. You get all the benefits of EV driving (over short ranges) and none of the disadvantages, this truly is a great way to begin a journey into alternative fuelled cars.Finished in the very popular Mineral Grey and boasting a host of factory fitted options this car benefits from having the very rare Parking Assistant plus, even rarer Comfort Plus Package, extended storage, lumbar support – driver and front passenger, blue stitching and a heated steering wheel, all of which cost a tickle over £4500 from new!Inside, occupants are treated to a high-quality feel with black Vernasca leather interior throughout and heated front seats, the heated steering wheel in combination makes light work of cold mornings and is one of those features you can’t stand to be without once you’ve experienced it.At Browns we love a car thats been well maintained and that was precisely the reason we selected this BMW for sale.
