I drove 1000 miles in a 72 plate BMW 530E and it was incredible on fuel and probably the best all round car I have ever driven, I could feel a bit of weight when pushing on in the car a little but it did not ruin the way it handled it was a true BMW.
Had a G20 for 3 years, loved it, was in the goldilocks zone of 20 miles for my commute, just purchased a G21 Lci2 2025 spec in Arctic race blue on 995's, ev range has doubled, it has the added practicality as well. I will be keeping this car, went for the fabric and alcantara seats and added a Msport alcantara armrest to match.
I have found the best way to use this car is. I drive hybrid eco in town. And i go battery control at selected lvl in highway. Note if u drain battery to 0. Extra boost is not available
I went from Tesla to a BMW, but I stuck with EV and went for an i3S-it’s perfect for our family, and it's nice to have buttons again! Love seeing your collection grow, by the way. P.S. If you need the drive space for your expanding fleet, I’ll happily rehome your Smart 😉
I SERIOUSLY looked at the i3 and still would - love them however needed to know I could do long haul motorway and felt 3 series was more suitable - may change if my circumstances do… I’ll consider that offer - very kind of you 😉
@ it’s a shame it’s so small. I do a lot of driving, and no charging, but need a hybrid for the tax band. I guess at normal-ish driving it’s gets like 310-350 miles a tank

Noted and thank you
Was looking at an X1 first, then a sedan, but quickly realized that I needed a touring.
Yeah similar search history to myself chap - great all rounder

How big is the fuel tank?
40 litres chap
Enough

Yeah spot on chap
That works for me but if your doing big numbers it won’t be very economical
@@Lukey-jy4ez You will be amazed by how little fuel they use, I basically used a 3rd of what my S3 used doing the same journey in a 530e
Too many poor quality plastics parts in BMWs these days.
Try Japanese cars they are 100% plastic
True of all cars I fear chap - same in a 992 911 😮
Build quality in bmw is significantly better than most these days
White? 😂😢
Yes??
