2017 BMW 3 Series

The BMW 330e iPerformance adds another highly innovative variant to the BMW 3 Series line-up with its advanced plug-in hybrid drive system.

For the first time, cutting-edge BMW i technologies are integrated into the world's most successful premium model: The 3 Series Sedan has already set standards for sports performance and fuel economy in its segment using conventional combustion engines. Key ingredients are its intelligent lightweight design, outstanding aerodynamics for its class and the extensive use of BMW EfficientDynamics technology fitted as standard.

The combustion engine fitted in the BMW 330e iPerformance is based on the four-cylinder gasoline unit with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. Stand-out characteristics include its sporty power delivery, output of 180 hp and peak torque of 215 lb-ft.

The electric motor, developing 87 hp with maximum peak torque of 184 lb-ft, and the power electronics, are derived directly from the BMW eDrive technology featured as standard in the BMW i3 and i8. The BMW 330e iPerformance consequently offers a system output of 248 hp and peak torque of 310 lb-ft, allowing a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds.

For the 2017 3 Series sedan and wagon, BMW introduces an all-new four-cylinder engine on the 330i model, resulting in new nomenclature: 330i to replace the 328i. The 335i model badge has been replaced with the 340i model badge with the introduction of the "B58" engine.

The eye-catching looks of the 2017 BMW 3 Series announces a striking presence on the road. The sculpted long hood and set-back passenger compartment team up with the short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase to create the extremely dynamic proportions that are as much a hallmark of BMW as ideal 50:50 weight distribution. The driver-oriented cabin provides optimum access to all the important functions.
