It totally depends on whether your spec/order has been locked onto the system. I think there is a period pf time after ordering when the spec can be updated - I added some more kit a week after ordering, but it depends on the timelines. You'd be best off asking your dealer.

What have most people gone for? I went with 19's and m sport suspension.

Not sure how the ride will be tho. Hoping its not too bad.

Being a current owner of a 3 series, wth 19" wheels and run flats, there is no way on earth I was going for 19" again.

It's not that the ride is bad, its ok and not Audi S-Line crash, but the wheels keep breaking. (I have had this three times)

I drove a 3 series on 19 RFTs and m sport and found it really crashy on the most minor bump of an A road in the uk. If they have made the suspension stiffer due to extra weight that makes me worried.

I also drove one on 18 RFTs and m sport and it was much nicer ride. The 18inch wheels i chose, only come with go flats, so hope it will be even better. As long as they haven't stiffened it too much.

Just going to have to wait until more reviews come out and then hope to be able to delete the m sport sus at a later date....

That's a stunning deal, I thought prices now had rocketed, compared to what they were in December..

I just placed an orde for mine today

M Sport in Estoril Blue
Black leather and brushed pearl trim
19" 442 Alloys
M Sport Brakes
Harmon Kardon
Sun Protection Glass
Interior comfort pack
Media Pack Professional with the Heads up Display and internet

Did it on a 1+23, 10k miles on personal lease, £420 month inc.vat
Estimated delivery is Late June early July

Hopefully the 19s and m sport suspension aren't that bad

My commute to work is only 2.5 miles, replacing an E36 328i sport which is costing me £200 a month in fuel, that car just isn't good on short runs so hoping I save a fair as all my miles are local and around town.

Also been speaking to a gent in NL who has one. He says he gets average around 30km on electric which is 18 miles. He said the performance is good from the engine and it's seamless and has plenty of power. He said "sometimes the average is like 1:70" not sure what that means to us if any can elaborate?

He also said the Harmon Kardon is brilliant.

Hi

330e Sport ordered through Lex on the 20th Jan, original eta end of July but had have alerts if expected arrival changes by 7 days or more. I'm guessing the orders are finally being allocated as had notification that the car is now expected 1st week of July... Still a long wait but moving in the right direction.

I went for :

Estoril blue
Saddle brown "leather"
Ally dash trim with estoril blue finisher

I had a fiat coupe in sprint blue with tan inside so hoping to be reminiscent of this on this one!

£300 a month including maintenance on 12k

Has anyone worked out if you get led headlights on the m-sport spec? With out ordering the m-sport plus pack at £2k

Yes you do get LED headlights as standard with the M Sport - The M Sport plus pack would upgrade these to include adaptive LED's.

You don't get the Adaptive LED's in the M Sport Pack, you still have to add them at £610, I ordered the pack and it doesn't include them.

I don't think that's true unfortunately. The M Sport Plus package just reduces the price of the adaptive lights from £745 to £610. The 330e M Sport does come with standard LED headlights though - The code is 5A2 LED headlights

Options are:

ZIC Interior comfort package

465 Split-folding rear seats
494 Seat heating, front
4AE Armrest, front with sliding adjustment

ZMS M Sport Plus package
21C 19" M Double-spoke style 442M alloy
wheels Bicolour Orbit Grey with mixed tyres
