Is the BMW 330e going to become available.

I was given a BMW 330i as a loaner while my 335i was being serviced. I fell in love in it, but am moving into a house with an EV charging port, so I would like to get a 330e. They sell the 530e in California, but do not list the 330e. Is anyone aware of plans to make it available? Thanks.

Saw an article from 2 days ago about the 330e being available in Europe this summer, but not in the the US until next year

Thanks, PF. I have to say “Oh rats”. Of course, the house has not been completed yet and at the rate it is going it may be next year before it’s done (“Oh double rats”).

I am resurrecting this thread. Believe it or not, what with moving into the new house, the Covid lockdown, and generally decreasing wanderlust, I still have the 335i. I am still looking at replacing it with a 330e. The car has very good reviews. However, the pathetic 20-25 mile electric-only range (about half that of other plug-in hybrids) sticks in my craw. Is anyone aware of plans to fix this?

I doubt it, what with BMW going all in on EVs.

You might be able to find a leftover 2019 330e, however. Not sure what the differences are between the two model years.
