BMW 330e iPerformance 2017 | The 3-series Plug-in Hybrid 

That’s “e” for Expensive
Outside of its novel powertrain, the 330e is standard 3-series fare—which means very little comes standard. The 330e starts at $44,695 and launches this summer. Special features are limited to blue trim on the kidney grilles, on the wheel centers, and on the fender-mounted “i” badges; that smarty-pants navigation system is optional. Compared with its siblings, the 330e is $3850 more than the diesel 328d and $5350 more than a 328i. Considering that pricing, and the limited fuel-economy benefit, we’d be surprised if the 330e attracted significantly more interest than the now-discontinued ActiveHybrid 3, which found fewer than 1500 takers in the U.S. over its three-year life span.

Unlike its first electrified efforts, however, BMW is pushing these plug-in hybrids hard. But worldwide fuel-economy standards are ratcheting up dramatically in the near future, so there will be an iPerformance trim for every BMW model. Still, we have to wonder if saving half a gallon of gasoline per full charge—less on the highway—is really worth all this trouble.
