Love my BMW!!! Getting the Euro style and great handling and love having a hybrid, getting great mileage with plug in charge. I love that this car can pre heat in the morning and be ready for my morning commute. Easy to plug into my existing garage 110v plug for an overnight charge.

Buyers beware! I purchased a pre-owned 2019 530e series and at first I was happy with it. This all came to an end when I started to have issues with what I keep saying is the transmission. This is not my first rodeo having a vehicle with Transmission issues so I know what to look out for and how the drive feels. When I say I have reported the ongoing issue with my car jerking and feeling like it’s about to shut off while driving more than 10 x’s it’s the amount of times I have proof of. However, all the times I’ve taken it in to the BMW service department, I was first told that there weren’t any codes so they couldn’t identify any issues. Then the times they’ve tried to fix it, the issue seems to get worse. I paid $45K for a lemon. By now I’m over owning a BMW and want BMW to take ownership and replace or buy back my car. If it weren’t for the warranty covering all the band aid repairs, I’d probably be bankrupt by now. Please do not buy a hybrid as my experience has been everything but good.

I sold my beloved 2011 Lexus LS460 with sports package and bought a leased return 2019 530 Sports Line, and I’m loving it. With the tank filled up, trip computer showed 808 miles range. It wasn’t lying! I drove to OC CA and back to Las Vegas and still had 1/4 tank of gas left, good for 144 miles, according to the trip computer. The Lexus was like a beautiful yatch, and the bummer felt like a racing boat. It’s only a few inches shorter, but fells so much more nimble and sportier. The twin turbo four is optimum engine choice for this class of car, especially with today’s gas price. I could have got the 530e, but come on, twin turbo and hybrid from BMW? It’s a disaster waiting to happen! 😅

Decided to go hybrid to get significantly better gas mileage. Assumed I would be sacrificing power and driving pleasure. I was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of torque, lots of comfort and features. Easy to lose track of speed in highway. Have been 40+ miles per gallon. UPDATE: Went from 535ix to 530xe. I was nervous about going from a 6 to a 4 cyl engine.. I was pleasantly surprised and the assist you get from the electrical motor makes you completely forget about the difference in HP. The 40+ miles per gallon for my usage habit is also a pleasant surprise. This is my 4th BMW and there will be a 5th; when I am done with this one I will be looking for another BMW Plug in Hybrid (X5-50e).

Microsoft Outlook is not supported in the USA. This is an issue for me as I do a lot of work from the car. It is supported in Europe so, I can only assume that BMW didn't want to pay a licensing fee to Microsoft for the USA. Silly me, I thought southern CA was a big market for BMW. I am also very disappointed in the "preconditioning" of the climate controls. They tell you that you can set the climate controls from your cellphone app but, you must have some power available in the hybrid battery or have the car plugged in. Turns out that you must have at least 30% power available. The car can only go about 13 miles of electric drive on a full charge so, how much power should I have left after my 40 mile commute? Yep, maybe a few percent if I am lucky. But wait, I can set the car for "Battery Control", a feature that will hold a percentage of electric power in reserve. The problem with that is that it cannot be set as a default, I have to set the Battery Control to hold back 30+ percent of hybrid power every time I get into the car. Not exactly convenient. in addition, I am giving up about a third of my electric power for air conditioning or heating the car instead of it helping me save fuel. This is really not well thought out. I'm now getting malfunction codes so, it's back to the dealer next week. I'm also feeling a shudder when the car transitions to gas from electric. I had a Ford fusion that handled that aspect of the drive so much better. And BTW, I get 34mpg in my daily, 80 mile round trip commute (in traffic). This is with a full charge of electrons every morning. Did I mention Turbo Lag? How do you have Turbo Lag with an electric motor supplementing the drive train? I've now had this thing 24 months and 41,000 miles, I really don't like or trust this car. It's in the shop for the second time in 3 weeks. The dash cluster went out a few weeks ago, now there are wiring harness and waste gate issues. I'm getting out before my warranty expires.
