Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: Time to throw in the obligatory line about how hard it was to hand the keys back (very), and how much of an impression the car made while in our possession (substantial). The BMW M850i Gran Coupe is all class, and an astute option in the premium market segment it lives in.

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 XM is BMW's flagship SUV, and a standalone M model. It also carries a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain.
