Malaysians have been able to buy the F30 BMW 330e iPerformance since late August, just five months after it was unveiled to the world, making it a surprisingly short lead time.

As such, it comes into the market priced at just RM248,800 on-the-road without insurance, slotting in just above the less powerful, less well-equipped 320i Sport. This puts it pretty much smack in the middle of the local 3 Series range in terms of price, although with the recent discontinuation of the RM297,800 330i M Sport, it now sits at the top of that range.

Locally, the car is specced in Sport trim, losing out on the 330i’s M Sport package. Whether that’s a good thing or not depends on which look you prefer best, although most image-conscious Malaysians would probably view it as the latter. I, however, do like the more subtle look that this car has – with the sharp front end and well-balanced proportions, there’s a reserved athleticism about it, but it’s never too showy.

Attractive full-LED head- and tail lights are standard across the range, but the 18-inch Style 658 V-spoke alloy wheels mark the 330e out as the top-spec model. What it doesn’t get is the iPerformance styling package that adds blue highlights to the grille and wheel badges – for the more conservative Malaysian market, that’s probably a good thing. Also missing is the BMW i front fender badging found on other markets, although the eDrive badges on the C-pillars remain. The charging port is on the left front fender.

As is the case with the regular F30, the 330e exhibits impressive packaging, with plenty of head- and legroom to spare despite being smaller than the C-Class and A4. What has been compromised by the new-age powertrain is boot space, which has dropped from 480 litres to 370 litres.
As befits a range-topping model, the 330e comes with such niceties as Comfort Access keyless entry (complete with handsfree bootlid opening), the full BMW Professional navigation system with an 8.8-inch widescreen display and handwriting recognition and a colour head-up display.

There’s also a sunroof and an electric rear windscreen blind – both of which are new to the local 3 Series range – and the reverse camera is finally standard and factory-fitted, instead of being a dealer-fitted option. However, the C 350 e goes one better with items like a 13-speaker Burmester surround sound system, triple-zone climate control and air suspension, along with autonomous emergency braking.

Connectivity features include the ConnectedDrive Services and Apps, including the cool Concierge Service that will even send directions directly to the navigation system. Owners can also be connected to the car through the BMW Connected app for Android and iOS, which can be used to monitor vehicle information and battery charge level, as well as to remotely activate the locks, lights, horn and climate control system.

Like most F30 3 Series models sold in Malaysia, the 330e is powered by a 2.0 litre B48 TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine. Here, it’s in the same tune as the 320i, and produces 184 hp from 5,000 to 6,500 rpm, as well as 290 Nm of torque between 1,350 and 4,250 rpm.

Sandwiched between it and the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission is an 87 hp/250 Nm electric motor, boosting total system output to 252 hp and 420 Nm; a 5.7 kWh lithium-ion battery juices the motor. With all systems go, the 330e sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds, half a second slower than the 330i. The top speed is also a slightly more modest 225 km/h rather than the 330i’s electronically-limited 250 km/h.

At the other end of the spectrum, the 330e is capable of achieving a claimed combined fuel consumption figure of just 2.1 litres per 100 km, produces carbon dioxide emissions of just 49 grams per kilometre and has an all-electric range of 35 km, with a maximum speed of 120 km/h in this mode.

Drivers can choose between three dedicated eDrive powertrain settings in addition to BMW’s usual Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus driving modes. The first is the default Auto eDrive mode, which – as the name suggests – automatically manages the two power sources depending on driving conditions and the battery level, and optimises the use of both.

Put it in Max eDrive and the 330e effectively becomes a full electric vehicle, only engaging the petrol engine once the throttle’s kickdown switch is activated, at which point it switches back to Auto eDrive to provide maximum thrust. Save Battery keeps the car solely on petrol power to conserve range – except at very low revs, as the electric motor replaces the gearbox’s torque converter – and will also charge the battery up.
