I had one of these as a rental for over a week and it's the best car I've ever driven. The power is perfect, the drive is so smooth yet you still feel connected. The best thing was I found myself finding reasons to drive places again which means this car put the fun back into driving for me. If I didn't have 3 kids I'd have one already but for now, the 7 seater will have to do as space is king!
I owned this car for about 7 months now. It’s quite surprisingly nice and smooth to drive in town and highway as well. The hybrid battery has saved me quite a lot of money on petrol which i normally do only 40km a day
Out of 20 cars which I drove in the past 25 years, this is by far the best car I've ever owned. It's even better than my legendary E60.
I'm now 9 months into ownership of a 530e, I do very low mileage so fuel economy is not a deal breaker for me. I was going to install a home charger but after driving it for a while I decided to simply leave it in self charge hybrid mode. It's a lovely car to live with. Flawed yes, but still I concur with this review on almost every point.
My 2018 battery lasted around 15-22 miles depending on time of year taking into consideration what speed you are travelling at. So for instance it will last much longer at 30mph
There is a mode where the car will charge the battery
I bought a 530e a few weeks ago. A 530d still works out better in terms of cost per mile. I still only get around 40mpg of combined electric and petrol engine. The one thing I really like about this car is just how smooth it is. The electric and petrol engine is really smooth and is great on a short and long journeys. I love driving it and it's not as noisy as the diesel version. I guess, if you are doing loads of miles you still cannot beat Diesel but for me and my lower mileage usage it's perfect. Yes ,the boot is smaller but again, I don't carry alot of stuff around either so it doesn't bother me. If I wanted to do lots of mileage and carry loads of stuff then the 530d touring would be where I would look. However, if you want a smooth cruiser and you don't carry alot of stuff around then this is perfect. Also, this car does charge the battery itself if you want it to. You don't have to plug it in.
Yes, but it automatically increases consumption if you charge the battery itself but how much? What is it like to drive the car without a charged battery, what is consumption etc? And how many km do you have with a 100% charged battery? I I heard different answers this is why a ask.. I want to buy this car and I don't know exactly how the car behaves.. if you could give me some details abor the car I would be very grateful. Thank u
@@cazacu7267love to give you insight. I would buy it directly without a doubt. If you can’t charge at home and fully utilize the electric, great. If you’re like me a daily drive way more, it’s still a thing of beauty! You can choose how the car applies electric personally to fit your needs. In my case I’ll always leave about 40% charge in. This way, when I want to go into sports mode and apply all horse power available, I can always. The car makes sure it will stay within that range by taking breaking energy etc. I don’t care as much if consumption is (in interval) a bit higher when it generates from the engine, I have a company agreement to expense fuel :). Alternatively, people less like me (normal), can use it in urban environments and let the ICE run you down the highways. Everything is possible. Mainly EU cities have e-zones now. When you plan you route in your car, the car can identify them and save it’s electricity to meet those criteria. For the rest… The drive is simply amazing! Last point, please take the touring if you want to carry stuff around. I love the sedan better looks wise, but touring is just more practical instead of a small little trunk.
@cazacu7267 the amoubt of miles you getcon pure electric depends on the weather believe it or not. In colder weather its around 15 miles and in hotter weather it goes up to about 25. However the combined figures are are around 39/40 mpg if you drive sensible. Its still not bad for a big car like this. If you are concerned alot over mpg I would look at other cars. I charge the battery outside my house at night. It takes a few hours. Sometimes I will charge it while I drive on the motorway as well (self charging) it does not impact the mpg a huge amount when I do that. You dont have to charge to it at the mains and the battery is always keeping some charge in it and recycling the brakes and engine to keep a charge in the battery. Different modes on the car as well impact on how much you use the electric element. Its a great car but there are better choices if you want mpg.
considering buying this so i just wanna know how many times do u charge it per gas tank if you're getting 40mpg. do u charge it every night or is it just one or two charge per gas tank
Have you thought about remapping the engine from 184 to 275ps? An extra 90 horses and this thing will be a bit of a rocket.
I do like hybrids my brother used to have a 2006 Lexus gs450h. 25-30mpg around town is not bad considering it has 335bhp
Love a lexus
Battery life? Any warranty?
have a 2017 . Currently 140k miles - Stage 1 remap. combined 333BHP. I share all the positive comments with PCL - only add that I drive 200 miles / day to work and back and still get 50-57 MPG -charging it at home and at work. Only use super petrol only- as it gives more umph....lol ...and better fuel economy ( and only 7 p dearer than regular at TESCO) . I highly recommend this car to everyone who can charge it home and at work . Otherwise the MPG will be max 40 ...... it is Plug In Hybrid as the name says and to get the most out of it needs bot power source. as for equipment : Comfort seats - massage seats- ceramic pack- 4 ways climate- and the usual whistles and bells. It is a very nice place to be in - especially when dark outside and the mood light really sets the atmosphere inside. I can say : best car I had so far ....
Hello. Im actually looking into purchasing a 2018 530e. when you say you get around 50-57 MPG, is that when using a combination of the electric + petrol driving mode?
Remap for another 90 bhp, pre-warm or defrost your car prior to any journey
Can you pre warm via the app. Is this a stock option on all the 530e. Can you cool it in the summer as well ?
How does this feel speed wise compared to the 540i estate you done a video on?
Closer than i’d thought it’d be, but the 540i was a second quicker in the 30-70 which is quite a big difference.
It’s very quick! Only downside is carrying 300kg weight of electric motor and batteries.
With a remap you'll get 430hp and 4.5s if you have the B20B engine, mad gains.
Is there anywhere to view your full 30-70 sprint leaderboard?
Not at the moment. Hopefully there’ll be a way at some point though.
You can create a google spreadsheet that's publicly available?@@ParagonCarsLondon
How long does the battery last ?
If you regularly charge, 42-48mpg or up to 25 miles on battery.
nice vid can you do a bmw f10 m5 or e92 m3
at some point hopefully
the only downsize of those cars are they break easily as i know from some people also i google it, and i saw this information, about BMW Well because a lot of car manufacturers look for ways to make their cars cheap. BMW cars fall in that category, being as though a lot of parts that function around the engine are made out of plastic. Engines conduct a lot of heat and plastic melts from heat, which causes a lot of problems, such a shame so amazing cars have plastic parts on the engine
Not true. BMWs are 1 of the most reliable cars these days, the 340i (same engine as this 5 series) was dubbed as 1 of the most reliable modern cars.
Because it said so on google it must be true.
Fuel tank is in the boot not a battery.
It’s a 330i block I’m Sure it is. Slightly detuned
Both 520i and 530i are B48 engines. The 530i just has some stronger internals. The engine in the 530e is still B48 but it’s out of a 520i.
Actually some 530e have the B20B engine, exactly the same as the 530i that with a remap can achieve 430hp and 4.5s acceleration.
@@dvsls I'm now off to check my V5 to see if I have a B20B version 😊
Great video! 12:09 knobhead audi driver.
Well that was a shit review. I can see why with 12k subs, 18k views, it's only got 226 likes.
can see why you've only got 8
Have you tried crying about it? Hope you feel better soon.
Wouldnt say shit review. But I dont get the point of reviewing a plug in hybrid with an empty battery.
I bought it year ago....... absolutely shit. Worst car in my life. Worst. Never ever BMW.
Why exactly looking into one myself.. any year better than the next?
Just bought this 19 model. Loving it so far super fun and incredibly luxury tech on this thing. Still figuring out the modes for beat hybrid mode mpg. Its a bmw so expect costly repairs.
