Exceptional car

2019 BMW 5 Series 530e xDrive iPerformance 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

The 530e xdrive is an exceptional car....it looks great, and drives very well. It does take awhile to learn the rather overly complex technology, and some features, like apple play, remain quirky. The car is very quiet and comfortable, and very luxuriously appointed. Besides the somewhat finicky technology, the battery life is disappointingly short. While it might be possible to achieve 20 miles of pure electric driving if you are going downhill all the way, its more typical to see 12-15 miles of real world driving before the battery charge runs out and you go back to hybrid driving. Given the 2-3 hour charging time, thats not very generous. If you are a hard core BMW driver who just wants a lot of power and great handling, this may be the right choice. After all, this is a mid size luxury sedan, not a sports vehicle. maybe the M version would be a better choice. Dealer support has been superb, especially with the four year maintenance package. And, as BMW drivers aren’t very excited about a green car, this sedan sells for a very competitive price at about two years. Well worth considering if you would like a mid size green luxury car that is great fun to drive, and achieves very nice mileage. UPDATE: My 530i is a joy…its beautiful, handles incredibly well, has almost every feature imaginable, and it just plain fun to drive anywhere. It can take awhile to learn the technology of the car, which is pretty complex. Lots of stuff is not intuitive….but, once you get used to endless bells and whistles, the car is simply superb!! The distance on battery only could be a bit longer…I have the xdrive, and its hard to get more than 12-15 miles before the ICE kicks in…but, even with the limited battery range, my mileage is around 40 mpg ongoing. That is really amazing for such a beautiful machine.

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).
