BMW G60 530e - REVIEW

[@ali78610121012]

Bro any chance you can review the 330e?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

It will be very similar to the 530e in all fairness

[@vijaymistry4169]

Looks like a Passat from the back. All cars are growing in size all the time, making it difficult to park in car parks.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Too right! I saw a car park the other day being ‘redesigned’ with bigger car parking spaces but also meant so many spaces were lost.

20 inch alloys on that

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Yes my bad they were 20s I should have put an onscreen correction

550e - 3.0 twin turbo in line 6 B58 with a hybrid motor 400+ bhp

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Is that confirmed for the UK though!

[@JovanKorica1]

@@DownShiftThrottle yes its available in the UK.

yeah 550e i forgot about that one- I know on insta on your story you mentioned a b58 5 series and I messaged you about m560e which will come soon- I forgot about the 550e. I've heard rumors m560e may be cancelled but give it a year it may come out- maybe even a m570e. it could have a v8 but judging by the 7 m60e model I think it will have a 6 cylinder. However 760i has an s68 so maybe we may see in some countries a 560i who knows

@ yep. My uncle collected his earlier this week. He replaced his E450 with one M sport pro pack Has the full interactive bar with the ambient lighting Massage seats Electric bootlid The 550e gets a lot of options as standard that wouldn’t otherwise be available at all on the 530e With 490bhp it’s a beast. Feels more rapid compared to the v8 m550i with a beautiful interior

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I guess the thing with the bigger engined hybrid is that they will be sold in smaller numbers…..people will either by the full fat M5 hybrid or a 530e in masses. This is where any business will make commercial sense. Small sales will result in models being pulled or not offered at all. Just looked on the configurator, a 550e MSport is £70k+ and £75k+ for the 550e MSport Plus! Wow!

[@kobbetop]

This car looks good in some colours like this but for example white looks odd on this one. Especially with the silver kidney grille which looks plasticky and cheap. Chrome seems to be banned now at BMW for some reason…that fake sound really is gimmicky, I would turn that off..

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Not sure on some colours I’ve seem but I think if the MSport Plus pack is optioned like on this then it somehow gives the car some road credit. The sound was definitely a gimmick and I turned it off after a while.
