530e - anyone running one?

[brums evil twin]

I have one on order - hopefully being delivered in June (slight delay from April, but fingers crossed)

Anyway, anyone running one? how are you getting on?

Have a 530e M Sport xDrive touring ordered and changing from a X3M40i. Quite excited for the change as I had a 535d touring before the X3.

How are you getting on with charging and electric running? what MPG etc. Any advice and experience?

Thanks
Nic

I had one for a couple of months due to Problems with parts for my 2.0d 5. The best I could get driving on full electric was 16 miles. The acceleration is brilliant when in sport mode with both the petrol and electric motors running, driving it like that forget any benefit at the pumps. Drive it sedately and it’s quite good.

That's what I thought - I had heard 20 miles at most on EV - the performance again is good for what I like.
