When did the old style dashboard get dropped from BMW 330e?

Hi,

I wondered if I might ask a question about the dashboard of the BMW 330e in case anybody knows the answer offhand?

I test drove a saloon 330e in 2016 and I really liked the dashboard, which had old-style dials rather than a screen. However there was no estate version available at that time, so I bought the petrol estate instead.

I see now that they sell 3 series hybrid estate cars, but the nice old dials on the dashboard are gone and have been replaced by a screen. I wondered anybody might know if the early models of the 3 series hybrid estate had the dials still, or if they all had the screen? I'm wondering if I could look around to find a used 3 series estate that still has dials.

Thanks!

Jennifer

If you stick ‘330E’ into Autotrader and select ‘Estate’, then put the cars in ‘oldest’ order, the oldest car is 2020 with the new screen.

Looks like the new screen came with the latest model G20 saloon (2018 launch 2019 UK ), G21 estate (2019 launch 2020 UK)

I just found out from the dealer that the videos on youtube to show what the new dashboard screen does are called "BMW live cockpit professional" in case anyone else is interested.
