For all those seriously interested in the BMW 330e iPerformance plug-in hybrid, we can recommend two video tests covering the efficiency of the plug-in.
The first (above) is on the all-electric range in the city, which resulted in:
- range of some 27.4 km (17 miles) at +8°C/+12°C
- average energy consumption of 19.0 kWh/100 km (62 miles)
"BMW 330e iPerformance MAX eDRIVE -range test
Testing out the 2016 BMW 330e iPerformance on the "MAX eDrive" combined with the "ECO PRO" -setting. This test car had a rating of 44gr of CO2 per km. The official CO2 emissions of the 330e range from 44gr to 49gr depending on the wheels, so note that with wider diameter wheels, for example with the M Sport line, the range is most likely slightly less than with this car.
Color: Mineral white (metallic).
Wheels: 16" V-Spoke 390"

The second video (below) concerns highway driving at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) at +11.5°C, with a totally depleted battery.
