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!
As a boring man that buys his wardrobe from M&S I have had 5 BMW 5 series. My latest I is a 2019 530e. I’m 115k miles in and it really is the best 5 series I’ve had. I know the battery will fail but it still takes a full charge and delivers the same performance as new. The first 6 miles of my drive to work is back lanes. Then I hit the M6 so the engine steps at 70 MPH from stone cold I don’t get it but it works.
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?
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
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
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
Starting July/2019 , the battery is 12Kw instead of 9 Kw .
Hello ! I just brought an BMW 530e ,2018 ! The car is ok ,I like to driving but the only issue is that I’m an Uber driver and I don’t plug in to recharge the battery,sometimes! I drive more on petrol ,like a clasic one .Should I wonder about this ? It is any problem if I don’t use the plug in ? I’m looking forward for the reply.
Thank you very much indeed!
Im also uber driver thinking of getting one, but have no charger at home and dont want to bother charging it mate, can you leave it with self charging mode ? And if so what MPg you are getting ? Thanks brother
@@kaelzvibey3878 About 40 mpg ! With one full tank of petrol (40l) you can do around 350-400 miles !
@@ionutrotariu8394thanks for reply brother, Im thinking of renting one for 350/ a week for now to see how it goes
2019-2020-2021 There were minor makeovers for 3 years in a row. Last model 2021 to a TRASH vehicle, even the most make-up model. Definitely DO NOT BUY. This vehicle is NOT a HYBRIT, they are just fooling people with wordplay. All the values written on the website are LIE. This vehicle's website says 70MPG, but feel lucky if you get 35MPG. If you are thinking of buying a @BMW, choose the 530i Model. Its fuel consumption is almost the same, but it does not cost as much as the HYBRIT model because it costs less. I've been in this business for years @BMW is just a name. If you are looking for a vehicle that gives real 60MPG, choose Honda or Toyota. All of BMW's HYBRT vehicles are just LIES!!!
2:33 why "Romanian gangster" 😭
why Romanians are seen as gangsters and gypsyes mate ?
Battery life? Any warranty?
If you charge and drain the batteries once or twice a day, it could be dead in 3-5 years, base warranty for the batteries in EU is 6 years, so if u have a luck, the manufacturer replace it with no charge.
@@Farkinca Could? In real life examples 17 plates 530e with 150k miles & daily charges still giving have good battery range. The KLE is the issue but should do 100k before issues. Do you own one or just been reading?
@@eastwood978 yes I own one. There was battery cells replacement In Dec 2022 and May 2023 under warranty. Car made various issues, wrong distance calculation after battery drained below 5% and more. BMW replaced the whole battery pack in this 2 cases.
Fuel tank is in the boot not a battery.
No...
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 ?
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.
“Interior for the finest Romanian gangstar”😂😂😂
i was shocked, i had to read the subtitles
how expensive is a battery to replace for the plug in system ?
No one I know has ever had to replace a battery in one of these. Even the earliest model. I do see batteries salvaged from crashed ones for sale at about 4k usd.
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.
Biggest problem with these is the lag. If you’re in drive and need more power, the lag for the engine to kick on and spin the turbo is pretty bad
There is a mode where the car will charge the battery
With a lot of fuel usage. But right, charges up quickly, especially on highway, so i recommend it only in highyway use and if you will really need the electric power at your destination.
Here is the short review -Get the diesel !
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.
The only part of the engine made of plastic that can give issues is the oil filter housing. These can leak after 70k miles and are easy enough to replace as its the gasket that fails not the actual housing.
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.
So what are the flaws?
@@PaulPaid Well, it will depreciate faster than a diesel, and is less desirable as a used car due to worries surrounding the longevity of the batteries. It doesn't have as good fuel economy as a diesel around town unless you do small commutes and charge each night. On a motorway fuel economy improves massively. Other than that I have had mine over a year now and it's been a great car. Very reliable and no issues. Super comfy, great drive, real head turner. It's a car you get out of then have to take a look back at it just to remind yourself how aesthetically pretty it is. It's not a car for everyone but it suits some.
@@elthamlad468 thank you.
Used Tesla Model 3 or BMW 530e ($21K) for heavy daily business driving (200 miles per day)?
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.
Great video! 12:09 knobhead audi driver.
How long does the battery last ?
If you regularly charge, 42-48mpg or up to 25 miles on battery.
He did 20 to 70 not 30 to 70
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
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 😊
Well that was a shit review. I can see why with 12k subs, 18k views, it's only got 226 likes.
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.
@@juhel262786 To see the real fuel consumption in normal hybrid mode. If the batteries are charged the car only used them and not works as like a toyota hybrid system.
nice vid can you do a bmw f10 m5 or e92 m3
at some point hopefully
