Nice blend of luxury, athleticism and economy!
I bought my 2018 530e last year in august right before prices skyrocketed ridiculously. They are approx $10k higher now! Amazing car! I average 34 MPG, go 0-60 in 6 seconds, have a 12 mile EV range so not stellar in any of those areas but considering the age of the car, pretty sweet blend of all three. One thing though this car does deliver exceptional on is luxury. Teslas are cool but my interior is light years ahead of any of them in terms of materials, fit and finish, spaciousness and comfort. You sink into the seats, the real wood trim is perfect, the quality of the soft touch plastics on every surface is tops and placement of controls is ideal. In the year I’ve owned it I’ve changed the oil twice, just changed spark plugs and had the in cabin air filter changed. Warranty wise the automated radiator shutters and one of the turbo coolant hoses were replaced. Otherwise it’s been a reliable car. It’s highly rated in terms of reliability and yes service costs can be high but you can easily pay half what the dealer charges by shopping around a bit. My weekly commute is approx 6 miles one way so I use little if any gas during the week by charging at my office paying 24 cents per kilowatt hour. I recently drove to San Francisco and averaged 30 mpg…normally it should be closer to 34 but I was keeping up a spirited pace. Love it and look forward to driving it every chance I get!
