The price difference you pay between 330e and 330i will all be balanced up by the time you want to sell the car. Meaning the 20k saving on 330e will take a hit when resale. It's just the timing difference, if you pay more now, you get more in future. If you pay less now (for 330e), you get a lot less when resale.
For e.g.
330i, bought 304k, after 5 years sold for say 154k, you lose 150k
330e bought for 283k, after 5 years sold for say 130k, you lose 153k
Of course the time value of money or the interest cost is not covered in the above example.
good point, I didn't consider that, I will need to take into consideration all these factorsFor e.g.
330i, bought 304k, after 5 years sold for say 154k, you lose 150k
330e bought for 283k, after 5 years sold for say 130k, you lose 153k

The BMW easydrive option offer the 330e after 5 years is 101.8k only . Lower than your estimates
