My previous car was a f30 320i which was great(apart from lack of lumbar support).

Thanks

Good question. I think the 330e is the pick of the range to be honest. Anything without 6 cylinders is really about everyday transport and usability, to which I think it's perfect. It's got more than enough performance for most people, incredible refinement. Only downsides is the smaller boot, though this would be mitigated for most by the touring version.

If you're more of an out and out petrolhead then I think you'd enjoy the M340i more. I certainly still prefer driving our F31 340 if it wasn't just a local run to the shops, and that's entirely about the sound of straight six and 400bhp!

I wouldn't vaguely consider a 320 or 330i instead, even as a private buy.
