Hi everyone,
Would like to know if anyone knows why the standard electric individual driving mode of my BMW 2021 330e switched back to hybrid mode many times when the car was in park and before I started the engine. If the battery is low, I understand. It happened when the battery was full.
Hope someone can explain.
Thank you

The default is auto hybrid mode after switching off. If it defaults without switching off then not sure.

For your reply
I changed the setting to “standard electric individual” but it switched back to “hybrid” driving mode when the car was not driving and the battery was full.

My 330e infrequently turns on the engine "just because" with the battery charged and without hitting the pedal too hard. I think this happens when I've been for more than two weeks without turning the engine, maybe to clean up water condensation from the engine? Who knows. It had maybe done this 3-4 times in the two years I've had the car.

Thanks, Gorthol,
I think my situation is different than yours.

Hi Vitalim Petrenko,
May I know that you are in the car business?
The BMW dealer service department said that what happened to my car is normal.
Do you think it’s a defect?
If it’s a defect, what is the next step I should do.
Please advise if you know and you can help.
Thank you
