Thanks for the great review. Some minor corrections: 1. The battery retains a reserve so the eBoost is always available even if the battery is drained (BMW won't let you drain it deep enough to kill eBoost). 2. Auto eDrive will vary the mix between electric and gas engine so you'll have the electric power for more than the smaller pure EV range. 3. Regenerative braking is light and intensity is controlled automatically (highway will have lighter regenerative than in the city), but pressing the brakes will provide additional regenerative braking and you'll see the charge meter fill more (pressing the brakes hard will activate the friction brakes). 4. Although the trunk space is reduced and the extra trunk space was shown would have been cool to show that extra space can accessed easily via a collapsible trunk floor. Keep up the good work!

Had this and swapped it for the CLA 250e and what a change. This is light years ahead of the CLA. It's quieter, faster, far smoother, less cabin noise, mpg is miles ahead too. The brakes are also shockingly bad. The 530e is everything you could want in a car, comfort, speed and good mpg. Avoid the 250e at all costs.

Love BMW's hybrid range.

From a owner of one of this cars, to anyone thinking about buying one. The 530e have the same 2.0L engine as the 530i. That means that a stage 1 tune takes it to about 340 HP. It really makes it move

Excellent review thank you!

Nice car 👍❤️ Bmw Hybrids are some of the fastest cars

Amazing car, and they are going to sell a lot of these. Right now i’m in finland and in Helsinki you can really see one of these in pratically every road.

Enjoyed your review, thanks for sharing dude, picking up my M5e sport in 5 days time.

The M package looks a bit ridiculous to a lot of car guys but when you remember this could worry a E39 M5 it’s acceptable

It doesn’t have adaptive dampers, so how can you feel it getting softer when on comfort? When the 530e have adaptive damping, there is the text “adaptive” near the comfort/sport/eco pro button, on the long side of the button row.

Is there launch control if you go to sport, DSC off, manual gear selection, foot on brake and step on the gas like other models?

You ALWAYS have the Eboost! The battery doesn't go below 10 percent. And it has 248 hp not 238. Built on the same line with a record breaking number of the same parts it IS a sporty luxury car. Much more sporty than the F10

How mutch range of km kan ypu make with both enginges

It doesn't have the battery upgrade which takes it to around 30-35 miles

I wonder how much a typical owner's electrical bill goes up on average that plugs it in every night. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

There are no electric motors in the trunk, the battery pack is there. The electric motor is located where the torque converter is on non-hybrid models. This is worth to note, as this drivetrains does not feature any direct electric drive, b.c. the electric motor is driving the prop shaft, not the drive shafts directly. There are many different drivetrains for hybrids/plug-in hybrids and this is kind of the "lazy" solution to do it.

Owned the UK version for 2 months under 2 years. Great performance but these cars aren’t without there faults. Battery range is good, not great and I have paddle shift know as flappy paddles. This car is very tuneable to gain an extra 90hp from standard 242hp with electric motor.

How much are those weels

530e isn't "M performance" (performance changes), 530e can have the M Sport package (style changes). yep, it is confusing, we have... 1) M Sport 2) M performance 3) M

How good is the petrol fuel efficiency? L/100km?

Is 280cv in s1

Don’t get fool by Advertisement. I bought 530e 1 month back. Car doesn’t run on pure electric mode for 30 miles it only goes 15-16 miles.After fully charging vehicle combined mpg I’m getting is 31.6 and I’m not a rowdy driver always drive between 45-60 MPH.

Seems like bmw ads from this channel all week

It’s 25km in 2016-2019 cars but new one is 30% better. I can get 34km if I keep city speeds to 55km/h. On the new cars I’ve averaged close to 40km

Nice video, tho, i'm still with my lovely e30 , can't love hybrids that much.

How did you find a socket in the middle of nowhere?

There is no electric motor in the rear to take up trunk space. Be professional! It is the battery taking up the trunk space. Electric motor is attached to the 8 speed ZF auto transmission... come on

No paddles ... what?????

What is real petrol consumption in the city?

Total power is 288 unless there horses ran away in Canada

super loud music. I turn the volume way down. he starts talking, have to play with the volume. back to super loud music. Are you sure you know what you are publishing? are you about music or car REVIEW?

Please tel me

f#cking dub step, make it stop

530i is 200 Kg lighter and that could be why one doesn’t want the hybrid :)

$80,000 CAD and it doesn't have ventilated seats?!

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?

Bimmers.... Ha gaayyyyyyyy!
