I could not take the leap to all electric yet so my plug in hybrid was the perfect choice. As a Hybrid I get 60+ MPG as a plug in, I get around 21 miles all electric. It comes with a level 1 charger that plugs into a Normal homes socket and it’s easy enough to upgrade to a level 2. It drives like a million bucks, feels solid as it drives and the technology is everywhere but so well done not overwhelming. The Carbon Black color that turns a deep metallic midnight blue in the light is a head turner.
Fantastic car

I was looking for a car last August and new car dealer lots were bare, so I had to either pay a market rate adjustment to get one then or order and wait. I initially wanted to get a Mercedes, but there were none to be had and they didn’t have hybrids. I’m not ready to go all-in on electric, but I did want better gas mileage. That’s when I stumbled into the 530e. On the highway, I get 45mpg and hybrid around town I get in the 60-90 mpg range. If you go the hybrid route, to get anywhere near the miles they advertise, make sure you’ve got a place to charge it. I also got the Driving Assistance Pro package and it’s incredible. Adaptive cruise control and traffic jam assist really make driving pleasurable. If you’re on a road trip, the driving assistant does most of the work for you and will even change lanes at the flick of your turn signal. Apple CarPlay integration is excellent and the car picks up my phone quickly upon starting the car. On the gas powered engine alone, the performance is nothing special, but the car is very peppy off the line in hybrid mode. The seats are incredibly comfortable and the Harman Kardon sound system is noticeably better than the Burmester system on my Mercedes. I’ve driven the car 2,000 miles and it’s been an absolute pleasure to drive. It Driving Assist Pro package is an absolute must if you’ll be doing long drives. Coming from Mercedes, I’m incredibly impressed by the 5 series.

I’m 80 years old and traded in 21 M5 comp for 23 530e x drive demo. M5 was awesome but got to be too much for me. I’m retired so most trips are fully electric which results in little or no gas usage. I got a loaded car with M sport , executive and other options. MSRP was around $76,000. I’m enjoying passing gas stations and I have plenty of power for my needs.

My local BMW dealership let me use this car as a loaner while mine was being serviced. I was excited to drive a hybrid to test out the electric and gas options. I can tell you that after driving this car for a week I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I filled it up with gas and not even a day later I was back in E with minimal driving. I then charged the battery up overnight to 100% and decided to drive to work (on full electric) which is 10 miles away and by the time I got to work the battery was on 0%!!!! It said I could drive about 16 miles on a full battery but that did not prove to be true. I was excited to return this car to the dealer because it was eating up my money getting gas every two days and charging the battery using a little more electricity than normal at home.
