Ordered lower trim from AliExpress, frankly it looks OEM, in my opinion it should come like that from factory.

Hello good people of BMW, after reading all your input on 330e, I understood that what I’m actually searching is a simpler car, more bmw less running for the power figures. I went and test drove the series 2, 218i(only model we have, no220i,230i). It’s a 2.0l 155hp (I think b48 engine). The car is based on the same platform as a series 3, rear wheel drive. I really liked it, along that I do felt and understood that it is underpowered. For daily driving it’s superb, for weekend fun, wheel you still can do corners in a fun way, but not more, the power is just enough. My question is have anyone experienced this combination - engine and rwd, have anyone tuned those?(I am planning to hold for 5+ years so a tune down the rode(after warranty) is a plan/option).
Any feedback is welcomed. Thank you!

Hello fine folks of bmw, I am in the market for a nice quality car that I want to keep for relatively long period (7years). I can barely stretch my budget and go for 330e(only 3 series that is available) or go for x1(nicely trimmed , but basic engine). Help me to understand that I am on the way to make a mistake..

P.S I cannot charge it at home…
