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.

This is what Byron Mathioudakis liked most about this particular version of the BMW 3 Series: A PHEV keen drivers can embrace at last, Useable real-world pure-EV commuting ability , Quality BMW cabin design and presentation
The 2020 BMW 3 Series carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1600 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The BMW 3 Series 2020 prices range from $41,360 for the basic trim level Sedan M Sport to $82,500 for the top of the range Sedan M-Sport (hybrid).
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.

The BMW 3 Series is on the cutting edge when it comes to interior design and execution. As these images show, its cabin is covered in luxurious Vernasca leather upholstery, while aluminium trim adds some much-needed shine. The flashy dashboard is punctuated by a large touchscreen multimedia system, which sits alongside a digital instrument cluster.
