BMW Malaysia has added an electrifying variant to its 3 Series lineup with the launch of the 2020 G20 BMW 330e M Sport. It promises to deliver the best of both worlds with a sportier and more efficient driving experience.

That display is running on BMW Operating System 7 with BMW ConnectedDrive services as standard. It is also Apple CarPlay-ready and comes with a 10-speaker HiFi Loudspeaker system with 205 W amplifier sound. There’s also wireless charging available (for smartphones, not the car).

Performance

Under the hood, the 330e M Sport is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder with XtraBoost technology and is paired to an 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. The combined maximum output is 292 PS and 420 Nm.

BMW claims a fuel consumption of 2.2 L/100 km with a 0-100 km/h time of 5.9 seconds.

The XtraBoost feature can be activated by switching to Sport mode through the Driving Experience Control switch. It is designed to provide a much more intense acceleration experience. This can also be done during kickdown manoeuvres and after shifting the gear selector switch to the M or S position.

Completing the M Sport performance are the M Sport brakes, adaptive M Sport suspension, and a variable sports steering for sportier handling.

Safety and assistance

In terms of driving assistance, the 330e M Sport comes with the Driving Assistant Professional which includes lane departure warning, lane change warning, front collision warning with brake intervention (AEB), rear crossing traffic warning and rear collision prevention.

It also comes with cruise control with braking function. This is not to be mistaken as an adaptive cruise control function as it merely only applies brakes when going downhill.

The plug-in hybrid Bavarian also comes with Parking Assistant featuring reverse assistant. The reverse assistant records the last 50 metres of travel below 35 km/h for a better experience when reversing through narrow streets.
