The car is awesome. Very stylish interior and design. The features are awesome. The ride is very nice. I highly recommend this vehicle if you are used to other vehicles in this same class.

Hotrendous hybrid start/stop shudder

Yes the 2020 hybrid will have a $5800 federal tax rebate but that is insufficient to endure the 4 cylinder engine shudder everytime it transitions. The rest of the car is typical BMW. Buy a Volvo hybrid which has imperceptable transitions. Avoid the 530e until BMW gets it right.

Absolute blast to drive. Glued to the road and sticks you in the seat on acceleration. Stops great. Comfortable for long trips. Overall great car.
