#bmw330e — Public Fediverse posts

Would have made 850 miles since the last time I put gas in my car. I put 9.3 gallons in it for just over $40. #Phev #bmw330e

@Hypx @ukuku I do support that, such as the #BMW330e, but, they don’t have as many advantages, such as lower maintenance costs. The ICE part of a #PHEV has almost the same maintenance requirements as a fully fossil fuel vehicle.

@vinc Never thought of that before (Skoda 🆚 BMW), but their new direction is very different, to the despair of many observers.

I always consider that #BMW should ignore all criticism from anyone who:

A) Doesn’t have the money to buy one, or,

B) Anyone who might have the money to buy one, but doesn’t intend to anytime soon.

Personally, I’ve seen several #BMWiX now, and in real life, I like them! 😱

However, I’m more likely to buy a used #BMWi3 #EV or #BMW330e #PHEV than an iX.

@carspecwill I’m also interested in the #BMW330e hybrid, but the E range is far more limited than an i3. Used availability is also quite limited and prices are also generally $30-50K from local dealers (much higher than i3).

Not ready to buy a new non-hybrid EV. The technology is evolving. Battery replacement options and costs are not well known. Leasing is not appealing to me for long term financial considerations.

Hence the appeal of used REx or hybrid options at a reasonable cost.
