I have a 545e that is up for renewal in November.....I was always very disappointed with rear passenger legroom but didn't know if this was specific to the hybrid versions of the 5 series or just them in general? Is this any better with it being a brand new model?
It is I think it’s something they addressed i believe. I’ve been in both but it’s been a long time but if you can get in one check it out. The 550 is a huge improvement in many areas imho David 👌
I drove the 530e on the same day, dynamically it was awesome too and tbh in most situations you don’t notice it much only in a straight line but the 530e is still beyond hot hatch quick so it’s epic and your going to love it 🫶❤️ Such a good Bofunic you’ll be very very happy. What are you coming from?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews this are good news! Thank you. 🙏🏻 I life half in Germany and half Croatia. So a lot of „Autobahn“ and curvy coast roads to test it. 🥳
This is a super impressive car but there has been way more to the M5 to make it carry its weight better and generally be a huge amount quicker than the 550e in any situation. If you want a more gentler cruiser that still packs a punch I’d go 550e
Totally agree and yep unfortunately had a mic failure in the latter part of my day out on manufacturer tests, was gutted. Since got an internal mic recording set up now
Yep unfortunately all that day I film I had a mic failure which until the end of day I noticed, I was gutted. Sorry Robert but yeah I take that on board, since then I now have a mic that also has an onboard recording
The charm of the 550 was the V8 without the M price.
Oh for sure, totally agree.

Thank you so much for your review. I ordered the 530e. I know it’s not the same animal as the 550e. But is it still fun to drive? What do you think?

You’re very welcome! Like I say you’re going to love it. What colour did you go for? Thank you so much for watching by the way 🙌❤️
@@PeakPerformanceReviews I go with Brooklyn Grey and the medium M package with 20” wheels. What would be your color?
I love the Brooklyn grey too, that spec sound perfect 👌🙌
This or M5?
Yeah I’d look to pay more and get the M5 for sure it’ll be a while different animal
@@PeakPerformanceReviewsand what do you think about all the weight discussion? This is lighter by a good margin

Try next time to get the sound right please!

the font on the bottom of the screen is really hard to read and way too big. please use a more normal font that is more readable.
Do you mean on the Thumbnail?!?
@@PeakPerformanceReviews no i mean captions like "60 WLTP miles range" etc.
Ah I see ok thank you. Appreciate the comments as they will only make me better! Noted and will definitely listen to your advice thanks 🙌
@g1981c it’s actually the first time I’ve used that font and normally use a more normal one, will go back to more simple normal ones 🙌
Not impressed!
Fair enough, what is it you didn’t like?
Bad sound!!!

@@PeakPerformanceReviews Thanks for replying 👍
No problem at all thanks Robert appreciate the input for sure
