You know what I love about your videos? You're real and don't try and sugarcoat anything. Brutal honesty is hard to come by these days. Don't stop 😎

[naurnah]

Finally someone who isn’t afraid to speak the truth about all of this all electric nonsense. Subscribed!

[Zsword]

Appreciate your transparency about electric cars Max. I also can't go for all the fake aspects. And what's up with BMW's terrible nomenclature these days...

[rubbermoetroken]

Despite the fake sound etc, that range falsification is just criminal. And bear in mind, you had 1, 5degrees not minus 12.

[Sean-po]

Completely agree with the review. I was recently faced with a decision when buying a new car. Just couldn’t take the risk with electric so got an M340i Touring instead. Drive it across France to Switzerland and averaged over 40 mpg, so over 500 miles on a tank. Stopped for 5 mins to refuel and drove on. Cannot recharge at home and public infrastructure a lottery. Need real world range of more than 400 miles and public charging in under 15 minutes. Then it starts to look more interesting.

[shtopfl]

BMW have lost their mojo, their soul in order to appeal to the Chinese market and its so obvious, the new cars feel so rushed and focused on bling bling and tech everywhere and lights and stuff that it’s frankly overwhelming you’re right in every way Max 😄

[ttjoseph]

As an EV owner, I don't think EVs make sense unless you charge at home - in which case the experience is better than ICE. If you have to charge at public chargers all the time, it's a difficult sell.

[ianrobertson]

"Overpaying for nonsense" just about sums it up !

[paulpeter]

It is really mind blowing how this electric vehicles were pushed on us. How in the world is someone going to pay 130.000 € for a 300 km range? We are going backwards!
And let not speak about the depreciation on this cars. Once new technology is out, they will be worth close to nothing in 2-5 years.

[aldra]

This is very sad direction where BMW and rest auto industry is going..

[mary-roserussell]

Max. In a short road review you have encapsulated the utter dillemma of owning and running an EV. Especially a high performance one with 600 bhp like this I5 ! Yes, it goes like stink but if you use that performance for any length of time, your range disappears before your eyes ! Where is the fun or the sense in that ? Not sure what the manufacturers are doing here in pushing out these new EV's with lots of power and with incredibly exorbitant prices. . They make no sense at all.

I have just watched a raid test by Harry Garage of a new SUV made by Lotus. Even the cheapest version puts out 600 bhp and costs almost £90, 000 ! And this by a manufacturer who made their reputation by building lightweight, well handling cars that didnt cost the earth and many ordinary punters could afford.

I am 76 years of age and been a car nut for most of my life. At present I run a Audi Q8 55TFSI bought new in June of this year. It is my second one and the firts time I reluctantly had a foray into the SUV because of ease of access for my aching old joints .

I bought it mostly because I do an extensice road trip to Deutschland twice a year where I do some significant miles. Ok, it "only " has 350 bhp compare to the outputs that soem of the EV's are producing. However, even at average speeds of 80-120 mph on permitted Autobahns, my Q8 will give me a range of almost 600 miles.

So, I can make my home in Hampshire, to the Eurotunnel site in Kent and then onto my firts stop just outside Dortmund with ease without having to refuel. It s a combined mileage of almost 500 miles. I would predict that I would need probably 2 and maybe 3 visits to a charging point to do that journey. That would probably put 2 possibly 3 hours onto that journey time.

I really cannot stomach that much coffee and until newer technology is developed which substantially increases the range of an EV I will stick with my ICE.

[Swaggon]

Yuup, G30/G31 such a beauty compared to this. Keeping my 540i G31 LCI <3

[alistairholt]

I think the industry is too busy chasing performance and tech gimmicks in electric cars when they should be focussing on efficiency and range. I’d hate to have one of these.

[BastiCi]

Love my F10 530i on Autobahn today...comfy, fast and i love these analogue Instruments.. everyone goes to the right when i am in the Back mirror...crazy

[adrian_t_kurz]

I love that you don't play the stupid game os other car journalists, that only say what the car manufacturers pay them to say. Keep up the good work!

[lesliecowling]

Max, Love your honesty. I sometimes think I'm going crazy because everybody raves about EV's. I sat in an i5 in the showroom whilst waiting for my G30 (in service and was immediately hit by how cheap it felt inside and the boot looked smaller than my old 23 year old E46 I used to have. I also prefer the two separate binnacles for the displays. I manage to get 700 miles a tank on my 530D and once driving with efficiency in mind got 830 with it just entering reserve of 50 left.

[donertv]

BMW can you please make beautiful cars again??😢

[lasselaitinen]

You're absolutly right on every downside of electric cars in general and especially on this BMW. I don't understand why BMW has ruined their cars. Even the 5-series. It's sad.

[jonas]

All These new Cars simply Don’t give you the same feeling like cars 5-15 years ago … I don’t have a connection to all these cars

[hellodlo]

You're not alone, i allocated one (i5 m60) back in sept/oct and I changed my mind. Glad i did. I purchased an x5 m60i instead. way happier than dealing with public charging and its nuances
