I have a 2018 530e ...bought it new in 2017 ... its now 6 yrs old and its virtually perfect. Plenty of speed & torque to get around NY's crazy highways, and comfortable, quiet, 50+ mpg on average over a month. A quality car all around. Wd definitely consider another one next time I'm in the market for a car. Cheers

I’m a Mercedes E Class 220d driver, 2 months ago my car was involved in an RTC, my insurance company provided me with a BMW 530e, at the time I was expecting like for like and weren’t happy. However, it’s been 2 months of driving this amazing car, I love it, it’s awesome, so quiet and smooth and the petrol engine is nearly as quiet and smooth as the battery power, although the boot is smaller it’s big enough. I will be sad to see it go, had I known about this car before I would not have bought a newer E Class as I much prefer this car more. The downside I find with the BMW, the DAB keeps constantly cutting out, it’s so annoying, is this a common thing with BMWs, if there’s any BMW owners out there that’s experienced this issue have you got any advice on how this can be resolved? finally, the mpg is quite confusing, it says 90 mpg then 18, it’s just not clear enough, other than that it’s an amazing car.

Would be helpful if you spoke about reliability issues.

Hello. What is the fuel economy in mpg or L/100 after the battery is depleted? Can you still drive it in a “hybrid” mode?

[sadzy]

Im confused a little help here pls
Can you drive this vehicle without having to charge it manually & drive it like a Prius engine? So whilst your driving the battery charges & uses electric & petrol combined?

[amansur]

Hi

If k dont ever charge the car by plugging in. What mpg can i expect?

Thank you

[yoitsdakid]

Hey, can you drive it off of fuel and turn electric off?

Can’t believe the number of inaccuracy’s within this video - your knowledge is not good and misleading. Just one example - you say the ‘30’ within 530e refers to the model designation code I.e. G’30’. This is completely wrong - the ‘30’ referred to the band of power in which this particular engine outputs in Kw…

The higher the number the higher the engine kw output - eg 518, 520d, 530, 530e, 540 etc…. Higher number = higher output.
As experts you should know this. Generally I like your videos!

I bought a new one in 2019, now the mileage is 50, 000, to be honest, I can’t wait until I get rid of it, the car does not run at all at stock, the gasoline engine is derated to 184 horses 😢 and on a dead battery it’s cotton wool and not a BMW, after a month of use I went and made a stage 1 has become 340l/550 torque, now you can overtake... the same engine on the seven 248 horses,
Therefore, with chip tuning, the restrictions of eco 6 and so on, which choke the engine initially without any consequences, are simply removed. The battery is useless junk; if you live or work further than 10 km in one direction, then there is no point in it; in the summer with the air conditioning turned off, the maximum I could drive on a flat road at a speed of 75 km/h was 22 km. Battery 9.2 kW. So if you are buying this car in hopes of saving money, this is definitely not about this BMW, without a chip it is heavy and weak in turns, a small tank of 40 liters at 500 km, a small trunk, I really regretted that I bought this bucket😢 fuel consumption in battery control mode 12 -16 liters average consumption per 10, 000 km is about 8.4 liters I use a second hybrid car Mercedes E300 old 2015 non-plug-in hybrid its consumption is 5.2 and you can drive 1, 200 km on a tank
After replacing the front pads after 10, 000, they begin to rattle just like they did on the old Chryslers😢 the charging port closing cover is constantly buggy, even though it is closed, it always says that it is open. Fortunately, the car is under warranty, but I have to constantly go to the service center to erase the error. The electric steering wheel adjustment is constantly buggy and does not go down to the previous position, you have to start and turn off the car several times for it to work, the memory function of the seats is the same, there is no sound insulation for the rear wheel arches at a speed of 130 km/h, it is very noisy, like in a golf course, due to the cutouts of the front fenders The car is always dirty, I can list the disadvantages for a long time. in general, there were no serious breakdowns, I don’t know if it’s just me, but the skin at 50, 000 already looks sadly worn. although this is Napa leather, these are really reviewers who were allowed to honk on a car that he won’t buy because a beggar...praises this car😂 530i, by the way, costs exactly the same two-liter engine only with less distortion, the same goes for the hybrid BMW seven with a plug-in charging port😢 It’s sad that people are pouring water into your ears without understanding the topic. Such delight is very similar to the delight of the Indians who brought a mirror and beads; any Chinese car of this class will tear any European auto industry to rags, all these options that may be present here are present in the cheap version of the Toyota Yaris Renault megane and so on the car is highly overrated have a great day everyone and be safe on the road

So annoying no one is clear or specific when they talk about hybrid or plug in confusing completely.In any case currently renting one modern cars not worth the money keep your hard earned cash these motors and Mercs alike are for sad life people that got nothing else better to do.My toyota auris hybrid 2017 is better value than this crap
