BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series is a five-seat executive sedan, sold in Nepal as the 530e M Sport, a plug-in hybrid that you charge from a socket and can drive on electricity alone. It suits buyers who want a large sedan they can run on electricity for daily trips and on petrol for long ones.

Its 19.4 kWh battery is rated for 95 to 103 km on electricity alone on the WLTP cycle, and it charges from an AC supply at up to 11 kW, filling from 0% to 100% in 2.25 hours. A 1,998 cc turbocharged petrol engine of 140 kW works with a 135 kW electric motor, for a system output of 220 kW and 450 Nm. Power goes to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car reaches 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds. When the battery runs down, the car runs as a hybrid at 14.1 to 15.4 km/l, and the 60 L fuel tank keeps you going.

At 5,060 mm long with a 2,995 mm wheelbase, the 5 Series has a long cabin, and its boot holds 520 L.

BMW 5 Series Pros & Cons

Pros

  • With the battery run down it still returns 14.1 to 15.4 km/l, which keeps fuel bills down on long trips.
  • An 11 kW charger fills the battery in 2.25 hours, so it charges between morning and evening trips.
  • A 60 L fuel tank backs up the battery, so long trips between cities need no charging stops.
  • 220 kW of system power makes overtaking on highways quick.
  • The 520 L boot takes a family's luggage for a long trip.

Cons

  • At 5,060 mm long, it needs care in narrow lanes and tight parking.
  • Only the rear wheels are driven, so wet or loose hill roads call for care.
  • The vehicle warranty lasts up to 2 years, so repairs after that are at your own cost.
