I have had lots of 520d’s and even a 530d. I bought a 530e facelift…..definitely one of the finest cars I have ever driven. It goes like stink if you want. Does 40mpg on a long run and will run on electric for shorter journeys. I installed a car charger. In terms of refinement it is way ahead of even the 6 cylinder diesel. Pro pack has the adaptive suspension and it’s well worth it.
I averaged 47mpg on my rental, done 500 miles so far, quite impressed. I haven't even charged it. Just gaining charge through braking and pressing battery hold on the downhills.
Absolutely brilliant bringing up the outrageous VAT & VRT prices our disgraceful government make up. Yee should consider giving these prices on all of yere reviews so people will actually find out what's going on. Something has to be done about this. So frustrating 😡
The car in NL has 12.000 euro more tax, in DK you will pay 30.000 euro more than in Ireland. Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc etc are way more expensive than Ireland as well. Looks like you are in the lower regions.
If I have over $70,000 to spend on a car, then I’m not going to be concerned about fuel costs. The only reason I’d look at this hybrid is to cut green house gas emissions. This is tasteful because it doesn’t have the giant grille and doesn’t follow the annoying trend of moving all the buttons to a touchscreen.
I had the exact same model for a week and what a car this is! Absolutely rapid and economy is fantastic too. Stick it in to Xboost and watch the world pass by!
You'd imagine for the amount of tax we pay here in Ireland we'd have decent roads, a decent police service, decent hospitals maybe even the odd public toilet??
Hi could you help me clarify the BMW 530e rated power, BMW state 292 hp ( 2020 face lift model) with the petrol engine end electric motor, is this 292 ph only available with a fully charged battery or always available. Thanks
Owned many cars in the past 50 years. This by far in the finest of them all.
This lad has to be the most chill car reviewer on Irish MotorTube.
But you are him. No?
@@eroche913 haha I’ll just do a copycat video and see if anyone notices

Does Ireland have a luxury car tax like Australia or something?
Why 530d over 530e?
8.3litres for 100km? That doesnt sound very friendly! Yiked
24 k in taxes!! 😱
