Aimed squarely at the executive and image-conscious fleet markets, this terrific looker stands as a natural choice for anyone wanting to move into electric power from petrol or diesel-engined vehicles. Combining the company’s well proven 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine (as used in the 320i), with an 87bhp electric motor, its maximum power equals that of the 330i M Sport.

Charging the BMW 330e takes around two hours using a dedicated home charge point. The 40 km pure electric range is more than enough for the average Malaysia commute.
