Sounds good!

End of June delivery is pretty good if you only ordered last week.

Just ordered mine too beer (again through Lex). I've gone for the M Sport in white with sun protection privacy glass.

The BIK savings are fantastic and I just managed to get in in time to get the full £5k government grant, which almost made it a no-brainer. I was tempted originally by the GTE but I love beemers, currently got a 518d and a 120d, with of which are superb to drive. Hoping that the extra weight of the 330e doesn't disturb this too much. The 120d has still been great with 2 adults in the back so I'm pretty hopeful! smile

My current car goes back in July so I can't have it 'til them. It's gonna be a long wait. I'm looking forward to hearing early opinions when deliveries start in March smile

Hey folks! First time post on here so hello to you all! I ended up here after scouring the Internet for more 330E info, not a huge amount out there is there?

I've got mine ordered M Sport in white with black interior, harman Karmen surround and a few other bits and bobs. Deliver mid May, can't bloody wait!

I noticed the car back on the Lex website yesterday. My big concern is the fuel economy from the petrol engine. If I could be certain that it would be 40-45mpg I would probably go for it, but I rather suspect it will be close to the 35mpg mark.

For me the bik and grant savings meant that even if I only achieve 35 mpg I'm still quids in

Possibly. I'll let you know if I get a similar delivery date. Might also depend on trim levels/ chosen options.

ordered mine last week, been told end June, not sure if thats just dealer squitter though.

M sport plus
442 19's
mineral grey
saddle brown leather
media professional plus
comfort pack
enhanced bluetooth
reverse camera

9+23 £334 / month. it was a quote from the last "deals" which was still open - think its a good deal.

have a golf GTE at the moment so hoping the BMW doesn't rely on the battery for the heated seats / ac etc like the golf does - switch all that st on and the 30mile range drops to like 17 imediatly!

I think mine's been built, I spoke to the dealer 10 days ago to try to update the spec but it already had a VIN and was expected to be built last week. My dealer delivery date is 14th March so fingers crossed it comes early!

Damn, I had't heard about the cancellation of orders until now. Mine is supposed to turn up in the first week of April. I guess there will be a call to the dealer in the morning...

Alternatively has anyone received their 330e yet??

i very much doubt that any have been delivered. My past experience is that BMW won't deliver anything in the last half of Feb due to the reg change and it was a 12-14 week order from when the books opened in December so I think March are the first deliveries.
