    Just test drove the 530e this afternoon (6/21/18). Was so impressed that I gave a deposit and will have my car in about 3 months or so. I wanted air cooled seats option, hence the order had to be placed ... and I’ll be getting a 2019 model which they said production starts mid July. For me, it’s worth the wait! So, glad I came across your presentation. 😉

    I get 30 and sometimes a little more in the Volvo XC90 T8. I'm not a heavy footed person nor do I drive long distances personally so I can go for months with no gas station visits. This is the way I chose to drive this car.

      I didn't as I charge it overnight (takes 10-12 hours @ low) and I can charge it at work in 2 hours for 1USD. I would like to wait and see how expensive the wireless charger is.

    • @agduyengely
      @agduyengely ปีที่แล้ว

      same here, the 29 miles range for max eDrive is not true at all... It is only 32km which is 19 miles max eDrive range till the battery is totally drained.

    I leased two 2016 528i. The other 528i is heavier and has 20 inches tires. It looks like 7 series. I love it. The other 528i 16 does not drive as good as the other car. It’s hard to drive aggressively with this car. I will be returning this 5 series in 3 week of May 2019. I am trying to see which is better between S550e hybrid or 530e Iperformance. The S550e is hard to find as I am going to buy a use one whereas the 530e has 2019 lesser price than the used S550e. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Or I can go for Tesla my last options. It just that I love the way the bmw drives.

  • @ns.4651
    @ns.4651 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    In terms of acceleration, is this faster than 330e? I just realize that 530e has the same engine as 330e. However, 530e is a lot heavier (I think at least 300kg) than 330e, and BMW didn't tune the engine in 530e to be more powerful than that of 330e, so I think 530e would be a lot slower.

    Do you have to plug in and charge it? Or is it similar to the prius where you can put just put in gas and the gas engine will charge the battery itself?

    • @TheTestDrive
      @TheTestDrive  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can drive it without ever plugging it in. The alternator and the regenerative braking will help to charge the battery. However I don’t think you can get a full charge without plugging it in.

    • @nimaln5288
      @nimaln5288 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In battery control mode, where you charge the battery by driving using only petrol, you can charge it to 100% without plugging it in.
