RE: 2024 BMW 550e xDrive M Sport Pro | PH Review
Discussion
We have a 2023 330e which will be pretty similar in how it operates. It also goes for that effortless soothing quick which I now actually really appreciate and certainly doesn’t need more comfort or power for what its role is. As a daily driver it’s brilliant and cheap to run. We also got it in a really cheap lease deal which is how I imagine these will sell.
My experience of PHEV is that’s it’s the best of both EV and ICE. Just use a normal plug to charge it and away you go. Don’t bother charging at public chargers on long journeys as they cost more than petrol anyway.
I’d certainly have no qualms getting one as hopefully it just a more practical version of our 330e which makes is an amazing daily driver.
If you want a drivers car or a sporty drive based on our 330e definitely recommend looking else where as although fast they just aren’t.

I actually passed a new 5-Series earlier today (530e?), and thought it looked quite good from behind/side, but when I got in front and looked in my rear view mirror, I couldn't believe how hideous the front was (chrome, not black). I must have completely switched off when this version came out, as I always thought the 5-series was BMW's saving grace, as it still retained a handsome front. But when I saw this, my heart sank, and now I just can't help thinking 'is there nothing BMW cannot turn in to an ugly piece of schyt? :/

One hundred grand. For that. Wow...
Need your head checked to pay that. Be a £500-600 a month lease job.
Im probably their target customer but doubt I will see the monthly cost as reasonable when deals are published
Cheers

I'm not exactly sure why, but this car makes me a little sad. I've always been a big fan of the 5 series, but I'm finding myself less and less interested in them as time goes on though, and it just makes me look back even more fondly at the manual E39 M5 for sure.
Gosh...I sound like a right miserable old git!
Make that 2 "miserable old gits". Time has not been kind for the 5. Sadly, not kind to other BMW models either Gosh...I sound like a right miserable old git!
