With a very good warranty it might be an option

I considered one on first launch and had one on order for a long time before giving up...
I believe them to be reasonably well sorted , IIRC near 300 BHP combined and just over 5s 0-60 so pretty rapid too
As BC with a good warranty worth a go

I know someone that has the Saloon, he got it as a company car to lower his BIK, the problem is the MPG is terrible so he is spending the BIK difference on fuel in comparison to his old BMW320d, he says he should have just got a C220d

He never plugs it in then? I have a friend who has a BMW 5 Series hybrid for the same tax reasons - he never plugs that in either, so it's total nonsense. On the flip side, another friend got a 3 Series hybrid company car - plugs it in every night, gets great cost per mile. But that does depend on your commute, I suppose...

He plugs it in at work but the range is 10 miles at best

I've just read an Autocar review and they only got 12 miles on battery. I think the latest E300de has a much better battery range.

I’ve had a 68 plate for about a month and love the car, smooth drive and very quick off the mark if you want it to be. suits me as I’m retired and generally do short local commutes.
To get the best economy out of the car you need to charge up regularly if you want to drive mostly in Emode due to the relatively small battery.
See below some of my journeys.
