2018 BMW 530e consumer reviews

The epa mileage needs revision, I could get more miles with less hassle in an Avalon Toyota, without the plug in every day for paltry 14 miles. I expected it to charge itself as I am driving. The trunk is smaller than my previous because off the battery too. Some one please explain.

Luxury in a sporty car. Very happy with the purchase and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend this model. Only downside is the mileage when fully charged is disappointing as often I drive longer distances and don't have ability to recharge. If you are doing shorter distances or errands around town and have the ability to recharge between these short trips, you would rarely need to use any gasoline.

Very smooth and comfortable and for a company car driver a dream with very low CO2 emissions. Two minor disappointments - Fuel tank range virtually half of my previous 520d and the electic charge does not live up to BMW claims. (It is winter so we'll see what happens with lighter days and warmer temperatures

Brakes- squeak VERY loudly on second pair with only 7,000 miles went in for a loaner car- same exact car and guess what?!? Squeaky brakes car didn’t even have 100 miles. The dealer thought it was my car. SMH Won’t hold a charge! Sometimes I can charge for 18 miles and sometimes 10 miles 530e 2018 is the worst BMW

This is our 8th BMW and that includes a 72 3.0 CS which we bought in 1974 and still own. The 2019 530e xDrive electric and ICE components are integrated seamlessly. The mileage is outstanding as long as you plug it in regularly. Performance is typical 5 series and the car is extremely quiet. I almost think BMW made this car to test the hybrid market especially in the US. I couldn't recommend this car more highly and look forward to BEV 5 series.

I have a 2019 530e since Nov. 22, 2019, and the car has been to service 4 times for roughly 2.5 weeks in total because of brake squeaking. Specifically, when slowing down from 5-0 mph, the brakes squeak loudly like a school bus. So far, i’ve Had new brakes and rotors (on an brand new car), which didn’t help. They gave me back the car this Friday after replacing the brake pads for the second time. I suspect the same issue will re-emerge after a week or two, in which case the lemon law will be triggered. I regret getting this car. Also, the battery does not get 16 miles on electric. This winter, on a full charge, I have been able to get, at most, 13 miles on a charge. All-in-all, this car is a disappointment and has caused me to waste a significant amount of time dealing with issues that should not exist on a brand new 60k car.

Bmw say you can get up to 28mpg on electric on a full charge. I have had this car for 15 months and only get 17 miles on a super day. When cold even on a full charge in the morning it’s zero miles available. Great car but rubbish as an electric car! Made several complaints to Bmw, but they are not interested and I paid nearly £60k for this thing!!

Plug in hybrid is perfect for my commute. With the tax incentives and gas saving. it only make Sense to get a car I like and save money on the same time.

Love this car from the impressive lines to a stylish interior. Wonderful drive both using gasoline or electric. I feel very green and my carbon foot print is diminished.

Fantastic design. Super high tech but very intuitive and easy to figure our and adapt even by old folks. Amazing safety features. We drove an Audi 6 for 7 years. The BMW is Orders of magnitude nicer, more comfortable and better equipped. Anything you?d ever want or need comes standard. No upsaling as is so often the case with Audi and Mercedes. Very pleased with our new BMW!!! Our dealership, BMW of Fairfax is superb! Go see Erik.
