The 5 Series has been well and truly refreshed now with the 530e plug-in hybrid representing the eco-friendly side of things. Supplied Aside from the badging, this could be just another BMW sedan. If you want a plug-in hybrid without anyone knowing it’s a plug-in hybrid, this should already be on your list. There’s a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display with an upgraded iDrive system that has over-the-air update capability, BMW Drive Recorder, BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and Android Auto compatibility as well as Apple CarPlay. BMW says the plug-in will crack 100kmh in 5.9 seconds, but BMW can be conservative with its performance claims.
