BMW M Sport Tech and Plus packs - difference?

Draeger · 12 Jan 2020 at 16:34

So next month we are looking at replacing our current main car. One of the contenders on the list at the moment is the 330e M Sport. I'm looking at leasing, trim level wise the standard MSport comes very well equipped but I see there are also options of either a 'Plus' pack or a 'Tech' pack - or both.

Can someone explain what comes with each pack and whether either or both are worth the extra cost?

Thanks.

The packs are a selection of a optional extras bundled together that are usually cheaper than selecting them individually. If you go on the bmw site and configure the car through there you'll see what each pack contains https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/all-models.html

The Plus pack adds a bunch of stuff that makes the car needlessly more expensive to run and ruins the ride quality - namely absolutely enormous brakes and massive wheels. The tech pack adds cool stuff thats genuinely useful to have.

A 330e probably doesn't make an awful lot of sense as a used buy btw - they are cheap for a reason, it's basically a 320i because the hybrid plug in range is rubbish.

Thanks Fox. Won’t be a used buy, going for a lease deal, new.

Annoyingly without the Plus pack you can't have the best colour, Portomao Blue.

Ah, I didn’t know that. My favourite colour too.
