Fast, economical and a joy to drive

2021 BMW 3 Series 330e xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

My first BMW, first PHEV and first truly sporty thrill ride. Since I've only driven Japanese cars I could never do a valid comparison. Two years in and I'm impressed by the way it handles, accelerates and just keeps you engaged in the experience. The combination of ICE and battery engines along with the smooth 8-speed transmission is an absolute delight. I've had no repair problems of any kind thus far. So is it a Toyota or Honda in reliability? Not sure yet. I have owned sedan styles in both of these Japanese brands and they are truly rock solid. But now I enjoy the drive much more. Since I own my own house the plug-in design is another plus. With the high speed charger I installed in my garage I can charge it every day and/or night and have little need to head to the gas station for a month or more. Yes, in electric mode it's super quiet, fast and much more economical than I anticipated especially for a sports sedan. I prefer it to any basic hybrid model No, it's not a cheap roadster. You have to have the funds to buy and enjoy it. But I have absolutely no regrets having made the 330e x-drive sedan a part of my life. Solid engineering, fast acceleration, engaging to look at and truly economical for daily driving. Oh, and it's an iconic 3- series BMW. You know the tag line. Highly recommended.

Great but need to improve the electric side

It looks great, feels great, and handles like a dream even on these crappy California roads. But when I compare the charging against my former Honda Clarity, I can easily say that German engineering is not keeping up with the Japanese. No pressure on the boys in Munich, but . . .
