520HP BMW 545e G30 REVIEW on AUTOBAHN - ULTIMATE 5 Series?!

[@Dieselkraftwerk]

@Lamborghini Revuelto Technically its "Life Cycle Impulse" but thats just bmw-speak for "facelift"

[@30isurfer]

Best looking G generation car and the most loyal to BMW'S DNA. (Along with the latest 8 Series).

[@MatiKosa]

@Underground Racing Lamborghini's Life Cycle Impulse - BMW's term for "facelift"

[@MavAuto-Pete]

It has no problem in getting to the top speed limiter. Those 6s do sound so good, I'm getting more of a BMW fan by each model that comes out.

[@mikeypv6]

I'm sure the reason they don't offer the Touring is because it would take sales away from the X models which probably cost more

[@Dankboi420]

Not a BMW fan and never owned one. But the G series is really the peak of BMW. I know the die hard fanboys wouldn’t agree with me, but they done it right with the overall quality and reliability

[@TrezenEN]

A friend of mine has a 2014 M4 with a Lichfield stage 1 tune - approx. 520hp, and we did a little pull against one of these on a French motorway. Admittedly we have 4 people in the M4, but we weren't really gaining on this until north of 130/140mph. Quick car.

Mohammed please us what tuning box you are using? Are you using the standard BMW pan air filter or did you upgrade? A K&N pan filter made a few tenths of a second difference to my car but made the tune more stable.

[@kevinsayers771]

I have a 545e and it's the best car I've ever driven. Lots of poke when you need it and fuel economy around town as well. Max you forgot to put the transmission into S gear change on the autobahn. This would of given you much slicker gear changes getting you to 250kmh quicker. I won't be tuning mine because of my 545e still being in warranty.

[@GuillaumeGoldfinger]

yes only 45l, that’s a little too tight@goranbencic3502

[@GuillaumeGoldfinger]

I have the same too in warranty too, I’m waiting...

[@BMWEMBMWEM-rk3fz]

​@goranbencic3502 46 l to be exact.

[@selahattinbalikci5294]

How much does your 545e consume on average?

[@joshkiej6601]

Thats probably why he has a tuning box which can easily be removed

[@viniciuscmeng]

This '45e' powertrain is fantastic!

[@pistonburner6448]

The problem with hybrids is that they make you have even less connection with the powertrain, the gas pedal is even less directly linked to what the car does. (And I've owned many PHEVs from BMW and Mercedes already, so I'm talking out of experience)

[@BinaryBlueBull]

Yup, same experience. I've had both a Mercedes C300de and now a BMW 330e and they both have that issue. There was also a noticeably (much) larger delay between stepping on the gas and the vehicle actually accelerating compared to their pure ICE counterparts (C300d and 330i) even when in sports mode. I suspect it's an inherent property of a PHEV. The hybrids both had amazing gas mileage though, with the C300de being the absolute king seeing as it is a diesel PHEV

[@rockstarkid505]

So many of you rich ppl who own Mercedes and bmw

[@BinaryBlueBull]

@@rockstarkid505 I am not rich, at all. My employer pays for my car. If that wasn't the case, I would never be able to afford it without it being a really, really stupid financial decision. I don't make enough money to be able to comfortably afford such a car without giving up many other things that are more important. But since my employer pays for it...well...I am a car guy so it would be stupid for me not to do it

[@Runawaygeekchannel]

@@BinaryBlueBull odd, I dont find that, I had the 540i and now the 545e and i find this a lot more responsive, no lag when in Sport as it's all on the 6, with hybrid kicking in to boost and remove the lag between shifts and turbo spin up etc. For casual driving its nothing special, but then what you need while in traffic?

[@BinaryBlueBull]

@@Runawaygeekchannel I would venture to guess that this is down to the higher trim level and so the higher engine level in the cars you mention. The 540i and 545e are at the top of the segment, apart from of course the full blown M-models. A better comparison to the 330e would be the 530e. It could also be down to the powertrain, as the 330e has the B48 engine while the 540i and 545e are both the B58 engine, which has two more cilinders and a lot more power. The B58 is a very famous and sporty engine as you probably know, one of the best that BMW has ever made. It would be very weird if that engine had so much lag as the B48 in the 330e, because the B48 doesn't even have as much lag in the 330i. I think the difference is because of one or more of the previous reasons I'll give an example: in comfort mode at about 90km/h, if I stomp the gas pedal all the way to kickdown, there is between 1 to 1.5 (and very occasionally 2) seconds of delay before it takes off, depending on whether the combustion engine was on or off at the moment. That is too much in my opinion. In sport mode (sport individual, everything turned up and with xtraboost) it's about 1 second delay (and very occasionally a little more than 1) which is better, but 1 second is still too much for sport mode since the combustion engine is always on in this mode and the electric motor is supposed to have instant torque

[@JariGoessens]

I have the car for almost one year, I can say it is awesome, but I do not understand why the downgrade of engine tuning, to under 300HP. from 140-150 - 540i is faster than 545e. Electric motor offers a boost only, not continues power. If I will still have the car after the warranty will expire, I will take it to a chip tuner.. the petrol engine is too nice.

Give me what you’re Smoking 🚬

Only for the Supra

[@electrikoptik]

@@616-j4r You do realize that the B58 is in the Toyota Supra right? And that the Supra and Z4 was jointly developed by Toyota and BMW since 2012. Toyota badged cars have to pass Toyota's quality control. The development of the MK5 Supra is well documented. The B58 was fully torn apart and inspected bolt to bolt by Toyota during the development stage. This has been said before by the Supra's chief engineer. So how you about you stop smoking whatever you're smoking because it's killing what little braincells you have left.

it's a good engine, which is why Toyota invested in it 😂 and the gen 1 B58 design existed for years before the partnership Toyota changed a couple bolts until I get the specifics on what they changed

[@pistonburner6448]

Expensive tune. As far as I know BMW can detect tuning, including tuning boxes? So bye-bye warranty and maybe even problems at resale? That's a hell of a lot of torque to torture the components with, especially down the line when the car is older. Apparently some tuners do say they are able to make their remaps undetectable by BMW...but of course the situation changes all the time so I don't know how it is right now.

[@aldra744]

there is never an "empty battery", there is always a reserve. I own the car for 8 months already, and when you want to do some crazy things on the highway, there is no difference between empty. half or full battery. and when you want to charge the batteries while driving, you get first 10-30% very fast, moreover when you are driving faster/sport mode or battery control.

[@drumdone]

@@wykthor8476 of course there is a scenario where the battery is empty. Maybe not while you drive to the shops but there are various nurburgring videos of bmw/peugeot/merc hybrids not lasting a full lap and needing time to recharge before giving full boost again. The clue is in the name plug-in hybrid...

[@florindodivincenzo9210]

@@drumdone as said, the system is calibrated to preserve always a reserve for a 10s shot of Xtraboost.. if you have 0% of charge and you've already used the Xtraboost, you need to wait some seconds to refill the charge.

Hi!I have the same car.What powerbox do you have?

As nice as this is, it seems compromised for me as a performance saloon. 100-200 is slower than an m550i, tuned 540i, tuned m340i, heavier than all of these with less boot space. If you're using the performance you won't benefit from the mpg advantage of hybrid..

[@MrDiiJay]

@@pawelf4 They allow you to access ECU and modify it, yes. But what happens after you modify is another story..

[@MrDiiJay]

Just to clarify even more > With BMW´s manufactured before 2020 the so called "Master key" was either leaked or hacked but none-the-less > widely spread, allowing tuners to "freely" modify ECU´s. That´s why for the older models you can just drive your car to any tuner and they can add those extra 60-120hp for few hundred euros (or dollars, etc.) and the entiry operation takes few minutes + to proof for customer > the Dyno test with printouts
