I'm in the market for a new car and quite fancy a 3 series again. I have a budget up to around £25K which would put me in a 2020 / 21 model. The prices of both the above models seem to be very similar, insurance and other running costs also similar.
It's not a company car so not looking to take advantage of the BIK rates. As a daily car, which would be the better option of the two? I do around 12K miles per year including a mix of rural, urban and motorways. I know the diesel will be lighter but presume the hybrid will be a touch quicker with the electric boost (providing I'm charging it each day). Any known issues with either variant and / or experience of them would be gratefully received!
I will need the touring model as I carry a dog to work each day.

I've a 2020 330e I'll look through the I drive tomorrow as I'm sure it tells me it's overall mpg over the 71k miles I've done in it and let you know.
Driving has been a mixture but quite a lot of motorway although I don't charge it much.
In winter I just press the charge button near home to get enough charge in the battery so I don't have to de-ice the windows in a morning as I'm lazy!!!!
Ah superb! You can be my guru then Driving has been a mixture but quite a lot of motorway although I don't charge it much.

Any issues in those 71K miles at all? Any niggles etc? I'm coming from an Audi S5 so the economy will be an improvement regardless!Gassing Station | BMW General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
