The 2022 BMW i Series range of configurations is currently priced from $55,740.
Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: This was a tough test. As we said at the beginning, a winner is perhaps less important than discovering the strengths and weaknesses of each of these new EVs. During our testing we decided that a range over 400km of each of the vehicles here is more than enough to avoid the dreaded range anxiety, even though the charge network is paper thin and the hardware leaves a little to be desired.

The 2022 BMW i Series carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The BMW i Series 2022 prices range from $62,810 for the basic trim level SUV M Sport to $230,230 for the top of the range SUV M60.
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.
