I never owned a manual car and learned for about an hour on my friend’s Ranger about 5 years ago. When the new JL came out, I knew I had to have one with a 6 speed.

You want something cool, sporty, efficient, roomy and automatic. Get a BMW 330e, this well equipped model was had for under 50k and lease deals are wild, due to the electric vehicle rebate offered by the government.

As a marketer I absolutely love this ad and it makes me want my first car, 03’ G35 coupe, again because so many of the events depicted in this car’s life are reminiscent of my own experiences with my rwd manual, and part of me wishes I kept that car and turned it into a badass rally car with nubby tires and some Rt…

Plug-in hybrid coming in 2020! Looks like I’ll be turning in my 330e and new Compass for a JL when that powertrain is released.

Electric car enthusiasts are hands down the worst. Read the comments section of any EV website and you will find some of the most righteous and irrational group of people. Every ICE car is considered less-than and virtually none of them actually care about the driving experience, literally just the cost, range and…

It appears the AI implemented to learn to drive in GTA is the same as the AI used my by every mustang driver caught leaving a cars and coffee meet.

Thank you for this article William, finally a comprehensive summary of the 330e. I leased one for less than the cost of a comparable 330i and couldn’t be happier. Yes, more AER range would be appreciated although I can get between 14 and 19 electric miles from the car, depending if I need A/C. 5.7 kWH usable and the…

Very well put Tom. I am one of the biggest proponents of leases, at least for people who don’t drive over 15k a year.

I wish BMW would come up with something like this to service their cars. My 330e has had the SOS malfunction light on for sometime and I can’t bring myself to drive the 5 miles to my dealer, so I just deal with the bwonging.

But what are you supposed to do when you let your mom drive your leased bimmer with low profiles on 18s one time, ONE, and she curbs the entire diameter of both the wheels on the driver side? Asking for a friend.

You are correct, BMW offered a great incentive in addition to the one from my company, resulting in a ridiculously low lease payment. My commute is 15 miles and I am able to charge at work. At home I charge with a solar array and all of my local driving is 100% emission free. I would say I use the engine maybe 2 days…

Sorry too busy enjoying my 330e..

I put down 4K and the lease is for 36k over 36 months. BMW is offering another $3000 lease incentive through the end of August. Mine has the premium package, nicer wheels, navigation plus a few other options.

I pay $400 a month for my 330e and it is very well equipped, spend less than $20 per month on gas, with over 1200 miles of driving, so you are very wrong. I would never suggest buying this car but leasing the 330e makes a lot of sense.

Dumb ad BMW. Although I actually did just lease a 330e and was a prospective Model 3 buyer with my lease for my 428i expiring at the same time as it would be expected to ship. Even with a reservation made night of launch, there was no way I would realistically be able to get it as my next car as there were 100,000s of…

I suspect that this will only bolster the Tesla brand and encourage further development of autonomous trucking as this could have been prevented if the truck driver hadn’t fallen asleep. We’ll probably see a vignette from Tesla at one of their unvailings with this driver claiming the car saved his life.

I took a social and organizational issues in marketing class recently and did an in depth study on autonomous vehicles. Virtually every major auto manufacturer offers some form of autonomy and it appears to be just a matter of time until they’re ubiquitous.
