BMW 3 Series 2020
Carsguide 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.
You can read the full review here.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.

BMW 3 Series 2020 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW 3 Series here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Should I buy a second hand 2012 BMW 328i imported from Germany?
That’s quite low mileage for a 2012 vehicle and, on the surface, suggests that it has led a pretty easy life. but you’d still only buy it if it is presented with a fully-stamped service book to prove that all the critical preventative maintenance has been carried out. These are complex, high performance cars and they won’t tolerate neglect in terms of skipped services.
The major mechanical problems with these cars were found in the engine’s variable valve timing (VANOS) system. Any 'Engine Malfunction' message or 'Check Engine' light in the dashboard could quite easily be caused by a fault in this system. The VANOS arrangement was also the first system to show the effects of poor servicing, so make sure it checks out before you hand over the cash. Fundamentally, though, these cars are not low-maintenance units, so make sure you budget for the necessary ongoing servicing.
Don’t forget, also, that this series of BMW was caught up in the Takata air-bag debacle. So make sure the car has been attended to as part of the global recall and don’t take a chance on any car with no proof of this air-bag replacement being carried out.

These are complex luxury cars so don't go in thinking you'll never spend a dollar on it, but they're well-made fast and fun cars.
