BMW has been an industry leader in working on new hybrid technology, but the Bavarian automaker's have been slow to introduce these new technologies into the market. Now comes the new 2017 330e, an extremely fuel-efficient version of BMW's iconic 3-Series. CNET's Roadshow has the review.

At BMW Portland, we're used to our favorite German automaker raising the bar.  They're constantly setting new standards in the automotive universe, a theme that's perhaps most readily evident in their latest venture, the i-Series.  The emphasis of the lineup's latest is simple: sustainability.  For an inside look at BMW's electrifying plug-ins, check out the video below:
