Interestingly this was the only place in the internet where I could find this information. Thanks!

Fantastic job, really well done! And not easy to explain so clearly in a 2nd language - really impressive. I look forward to seeing more of your clear and scientifically structured videos.

Great breakdown of the costs 👏 Bravo

Nice video. Very well described. I am about to purchase a 530e and I am running out of YT videos to watch :)

Thank you for doing this, I’d also wondered what charging from the engine cost. We absolutely love our 530e. We traded in my wife’s 2014 Mercedes E350. That was a gorgeous car, but Mercedes lost out on making another sale to us because they don’t sell the hybrid versions of the E in the United States. When I eventually replace our BMW X1 I will want to get a plug-in hybrid vehicle as well. The only thing I would change on our 530e is that ours has the Performance option with the blacked-out grill and 19” Goodyear F1 summer performance tires. Nobody is going to take a 2000kg hybrid luxury car out to track day, but I suppose the BMW brand has to reflexively offer sporting options anyway. There is a big demand for the 530e and there were very few available in the Southern California so this was the only one in stock with the color and other options we wanted. Luckily in drought California all-season tires aren’t really a handicap; you can count on your fingers the number of days in a year you drive on wet pavement,

Great inside, I've been looking for this for ages 👌

Very instructive! Thank you! One thing could be good to know, the same travel with conservative battery, I mean you start with, for example 60% battery and drive with "battery control"60%, for knowing the real difference of consumption between charge mode and "hybrid mode without consumption of the battery energy". That's in order to know the real additional consumption of the mode charge. Then we can compare, 1 liter of petrol is+/- 10kWh, and where I live (Belgium), 1kWh is 0.25€. Thank you for your video! 👍🙏..!

Just got one a few days ago, thanks for all these videos Romas, very informative.

Great job I was looking for this kind of video

I have same car just model 2021 i drive pure petrol when in highway and swith to hybrid in town . By turning gear shifter to maual car dont use any battery energy this way u can save the battery for short trips

Congratulations for this video! Well explained! 🙏

Really interesting test. Thank you.

Do you know if you can upgrade the battery to the newer 12kw one from newer models? I know they are the same size. With the 12kw battery you should get around 60km on electric only

Well done mate! Great video and effort.

I know this video is old, but hopefully you will catch my question :) I am looking to buy a 2018 530e myself, and i have never owned a hybrid before. So I have a question which might have an obvious answer but i dont know.. When I am going to pick up this car, I will have to drive a long way to get home, lets say 1000-1500km across the country. How does the milage do on roadtrips like this? Seeing as the pure electric range is only around 20-30km. Would my best bet be to drive on auto eDrive the whole way? And how will the car/battery act? Will it eventually drain itself to 0-1km electric range and stay there the whole rest of the drive, charging and using power while in hybrid mode?

I wonder if you go without charging( only petrol usage). What would be the petrol consumption?

Great job, if you would pls just mute the music .... it makes it difficult to understand the narration. Peace

Good to know not only me who is interesting these numbers.

Hey I just bought 2022 530e on 51.000 km mileage. is it okay? and What I need to do when car slept 3 month. Any advices ?

Thank you! that’s exactly what I needed to know

so i can drive with a empty batteri and the consum is by 5,6 L ? right

Fantastic Job, Thanks for experiment 👏🏻

I just got one of these. The plug that came with mine is the one for charging from a wall socket. Does BMW not come with the EV charging point cables? I am assuming I have to buy my own?

Great video. I’ve just bought a 530e and charge it every day and average consumption is showing 90mpg but it seems it’s stuck on that.

For the second experiment, when starting, do you have electricity charged or was it completely empty. When it is empty, I noticed that in auto edrive it is swiching back and forth from electricity to fuel many times and that way I would expect more comsumption than 5.6lt. What is your opinion here?

Bravo Romas!!! Excellent job! Can you tell me, why for you it is twice cheaper from socket? I have the same car, petrol here is 1,37€. And 1kwt from the soket is 0,3€, in may we wait for 0,37((((. Can you calculate for me which way is better for me with this pricing? Thank you vvery much once more!!!!

Brilliant stuff

Great video. Thank you! Is this the 9 KWH battery?

Hello Romas LTU, You have the yellow or orange little car on your dashbord, can you please tell me if that is a problem ?

Simple & good video thank you 😊👍

Awesome! Can't wait to get my 330e (Y2016) and do similar test :)

Is it possible to drive on Auto e drive (Hybrid driving) without any electric miles. For example if I have runout of electric battery mileage can I still drive on auto e drive to get decent mpg ?

Great insights, thanks 🙏

Thank you for this video.

Awesome video! Great info! Thank you!

Maybe one day show us how for you can get with a 1 full tank of gas, driving in petrol to charge and then switching to electric whenever its full.

I am confused. I don't understand if you can charge it by gas engine or not. I jave ford fusion energy plug in hybrid. But I can't full charge it by gas engine.

thanks for the video it helps a lot to understand better. So if I understand correctly, if I have to do short distance around town, I put it on full battery mode. but if I plan to do a long distance on the highway like 150km, I leave it in hybrid mode and this is how I am going to get the best potential? thanks a lot

Very nice and useful video!

so what mode the regen breaking, can you not set to to only chage when your breaking and not use the perol enginer to much to recarge all the time, 42 MG see fairly poor. To charge this car in the UK with current electicity prices would be 9KW/h to full it currently £0.69 per KW/H so it costs £3.66 in electricity , or the same as 3 Litres of fuel. so here it costs you over 3 litres of equivelent petrol in electricity charges. I am stugging to see the cost saving for the EV part what am I missing to its benefit.

Awesome video. Thanks a lot.

Hello. I just wonder that if you use the car without charge or electric. Only gas engine. What would be the consumption?

Hi Romas! thx for the video, can you tell me if you fully charge your battery and go for a trip for example 400km in autoedrive, how the batterywill manifest on this range, and what consumption aproximately? Thx

I also did some calculations and i get 7,72L on 100km and that’s pretty good for me cuz the car has 2000kg and 245hp

what is your opinion now? with the expensive electricity and fuel prices?

one thing you did not do to just drive on petrol, I have heard it gives around 50mpg, is that right?

Thank You 🙏🏻 good video

first good explanations , thank you

Thanks

very useful video

Informative, and thank you. In your experience, how good is the engine, any reliability issue? In one if your responses, you said you've not changed discs etc after 90k miles?

Which is better 520 xdrive 2.0d or 530e 2.0 petrol in running cost please help

Great Video.

so its costs you 0,3liter more in 100km iff you charge with petrol?

Geras video

That’s a fantastic video, but i tell u something, the 530e engine is the same engine as 520i g30 right? Then we all know the 520i eats around 5.4l/100km combined so if u drive it on charge mode there no way that 530e eats 10l/100km, if we give also a few liters extra for extra car weight and charging process also would not be 10l/100km.

i want to buy this car but! I cannot find the data that shows how much is this cars fuel consumption if i fully charged it at home and drive for 800 km in one day in hybrid mode. Can someone tell me?

Do you know if 225xe works similarily with this car ?

I just bought a car. Do you know how i can see my digital speedometer ? If all 530e's has one..thx

What about fuel economy on long trip, I gues on 120km/h ~ 7-8l/100km ?

this video is great, just need one info please: when you drive only on bat. mode for aprox. 25km and you discharge your bat. - are you able to continue drive only on petrol mode with fuel con. 5-6 lit. or you must drive hyb. mode with charging battery again with fuel con. 10-12 lit. ?

Hi, is the battery also charging in auto edrive mode? Let's say when u are on the motorway..

Sorry but i didn't get it . Whay is the final result.. my English also isn't enough good Ok +10 L/100 to charge the battery, second test twice less + 5 L/ 100 .. But after that i lost the logic of the test . i saw 2 more times the end to try understand but .. i cant get it 41 + 30 .. ??? And after that is inaudible and understandable for me

I am looking at useful videos like this as I am really panicking to pay deposit for this car. I seen that you didn't exceeded speed limits. How is she acting on hybrid mode but drive 130-140km / h on motorway? I was thinking as you demonstrated hybrid mode is best. I need to drive in work 80km round trip mostly motorway for work. You think would I get around 6L-7L / 100 on hybrid on this? I also drive a bit ...Sport/Eco:).

Hi, do you feel when the gearbox shifts from 1->2 (slow acceleration- around 10% pedal press), at around 9*C outside temperature? Only on electric first then and after the ICE is at operating temperature. Thanks

Hello, does only regen brakes charges the battery? If yes, how much time does it take?

Have you had any serious issues with the car while owning it? Thanks

Only 42 mpg in hybrid?! Thats horrible 😢..

Hi! Great video thank you! Question, I just bought a 530e. How long is one full charge supposed to last while using eco pro and auto e drive?

Kaip su jumis susisiekt per kazkur kitur?:) turiu klausimu biski

how do you get 94mpg? mine never goes past 30mpg & i never put foot down!

it’s just that if we are talking about a hybrid and their marketers promise some kind of fabulous minimum consumption, 2.5 liters/100 km, but in the end this is not the case, as soon as your battery runs out your consumption will be 10 liters plus per 100 km.. and it will run out very quickly in 15 minutes, a standard gasoline engine is absolutely not suitable for such a heavy car, it’s wimpy as a vegetable, so the first thing you need to do is remove all these restrictions, make Stage one, which are strangling the engine, and make it at least 350 horsepower so that this car drives and does something out of itself I imagined that the maximum range on a full battery was that I could survive in ideal conditions of 22 km. But this is complete nonsense, who needs such a car for a pensioner who travels from home to buy bread from the store and back? If we approach the supposed environmental friendliness of this car, then in comparison with other modern even diesel cars are not so environmentally friendly, if we talk about the environment, well, let's ban Formula 1, because they have completely different emissions, But no, you can make colossal money from this, let's ban all rally cars, get rid of ships -airplanes, we will also close these factories where these cars are assembled using dirty energy, well, everyone understands that this is complete nonsense, electric cars are still charged from a power plant that uses the same gas, oil and the same fuel oil, and coal. .. no one says that in 3-5 years, no matter the years, the battery will need to be disposed of, which is not the most useful thing in terms of the environment, but quite the opposite, super toxic.. any modern Chinese car of this class will tear to rags any European car in terms of finishing materials technology and the like, plus it will cost half as much or even more than this BMW.. I think the future belongs to the Chinese solution, when the diesel-gasoline engine works as a generator, the car runs on electricity with a normal range, with normal power +500 horsepower with the ability to travel 1000+ km. on one charge or filling the tank, while these BMWs are very crude, unfinished and do not deserve special attention.. but we are all human, so we are ready to pay money only for the brand.. I myself drive such a car, I bought it new in 2020 and I have absolutely no such enthusiasm, a small tank of 40 liters that allows you to travel only 500 km But this is nonsense, the trunk is very small so you have to go to the store twice, assembly and materials leave much to be desired, the declared Napa leather after 40,000 km of use looks like like this car is already 20 years old, BMW are you serious? Because of the ventilation of the front wings, the car is always covered in dirt, when the engine is running, only the left muffler works. Was it really difficult to weld two pipes together so that it wouldn’t look so bad?

Have you tried to charge your car in sport ?

Galvoju pirkti Tesla 3 ar Bmw 320e. Matau kad abi turite, ka pats patartumete. Neturiu prie namu stoteles. Naudociausi miesto

Petrol engine voltage ruins the battery. Try to avoid

What a stupid car. Using petrol to charge batteri, how mental can it be.
