2022 BMW 330e Plug-in Hybrid review – verdict

The BMW 330e is a new plug-in hybrid version of the excellent 3 Series saloon. We've tested it on UK roads for the first time

The new BMW 330e is an absolute no-brainer if you're a company car driver paying BIK tax, as it'll keep monthly costs nice and low.

There are other benefits, too, including exemption from London's Congestion Charge and, so long as you charge the battery regularly and don't frequently do journeys of more than 50 miles, considerably cheaper fuel bills.

Just make sure you can live with the shrunken boot, because there's otherwise very little about the 330e not to like.
