The 2020 BMW 3 Series range of configurations is currently priced from $24,990.

Our most recent review of the 2020 BMW 3 Series resulted in a score of 9 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis had this to say at the time: You know about Goldilocks and the Three Bears, right?Well, its themes of too little or too much apply for buyers of an eco-focused luxury sports sedan. If a hybrid like the Lexus IS 300h isn’t electrified enough, and a pure EV such as the Tesla Model 3 is going too far, then a PHEV like the 330e plugs the gap just about perfectly.

BMW 3 Series 2020 FAQs

How long does a BMW 330e PHEV's battery pack last?

The 330e is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), so it has a petrol engine and a smaller battery pack than a full EV (which runs exclusively on battery power). That means the BMW’s battery should be less expensive to replace if it ever needed to be.

At the moment, the world is waiting to find out how long EV batteries last, but it’s looking like between 10 and 20 years is going to be the magic number. A lithium-ion battery like this one will last longer if it’s never over-charged and is cycled regularly rather than left sitting for long periods.
