BMW 330e iPerformance
The combination of the electric motor and the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine offers the best of both drives, providing an extremely dynamic and comfortable limousine: the BMW 330e iPerformance. Here, innovation combines with the sportiness and elegance of the BMW 3 Series. Impressive driving dynamics with the highest performance and ecology thanks to emission-free driving - a unique concept ideally suited to the advantages of the BMW 3 Series Sedan.
The BMW 3 Series on the combustion of the subcompact car: BMW eDrive technology in the BMW EfficientDynamics range allows in electric mode to travel about 40 km without local exhaust emissions and without using fuel. The high voltage battery is located under the luggage compartment. This one has a capacity of 370 l and is perfect for everyday use - without limiting comfort, functionality and space. From the outside, the iPerformance model differs from the conventional version, among others the eDrive mark on both C-pillars, the "and" mark on the front fenders. The innovative grill also features a blue grille radiator grille and blue wheel rim caps. In addition, the plug-in hybrid provides the best possible traction and agility thanks to the sporty suspension configuration and full dynamics in all driving modes. Thus, the BMW 330e iPerformance Limousine more than meets all expectations in terms of dynamics. This is an extremely innovative concept that is unmatched.
BMW 330e iPerformance The limousine as a hybrid plug-in has different drive modes, thanks to which the driver can significantly influence the real fuel consumption. Its size depends on the one hand on the choice of driving mode - on the other hand on the individual use of the car. With a fully charged battery, the car can travel up to 40 km without using even one drop of fuel. The AUTO eDrive mode is set for optimal cooperation between the electric and combustion engines at maximum efficiency.
BMW 330e iPerformance The limousine is powered by a powerful BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a high-performance eDrive electric motor. The combination of these EfficientDynamics technologies has enabled the creation of an innovative car with low fuel consumption while offering full driving dynamics and stability in all road conditions.
Intelligent energy management is one of the main pillars of the BMW eDrive concept. The system coordinates interactions between the various drive components to achieve the best possible performance and excellent driving dynamics. Intelligent energy management optimizes the efficiency of the hybrid drive through predictive selection of the right drive. For example, route data and situations where it is optimal to use an electric motor or to charge a high voltage battery is identified on the basis of navigation data in good time.
In situations where the internal combustion engine is characterized by a low efficiency, the system increases the load, thus increasing the efficiency of the engine. This means that the combustion engine generates additional power. It is used to generate electricity for the battery via an electric motor / generator - and is used for electric driving or for efficient support of the internal combustion engine. It also controls the electric motor / generator to convert kinetic energy into electricity when driving at idle or braking. In combination with the ECO PRO mode, intelligent energy management optimizes all vehicle systems - including complementary components and features that improve driving comfort - for fuel economy and performance.
The eDrive driver can choose between three driving modes: the standard AUTO eDRIVE mode, the fully electric MAX eDRIVE mode and the SAVE BATTERY mode, which keeps the battery charging at a constant level.
