Live Pics of the 530e i Performance plug-in hybrid.

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I'd say the car looks rather good with the big alloys! Charge time on 220V wall socket is really impressive: 3.5 hours only, and I guess on 110V it would be around 7 hours. Official range on electric only: 45km (28 miles), so in real terms about 35km. on MAx e-drive mode,it can go up to 145km/h in electric mode... Boot space is 410 litres which is not bad...

Looks like the car is configured as follows:
- Color: Glaciersilber metallic
- Wheels: 19" LMR W-Speiche 663 Bicolor
- Interior colour: I believe is Dakota Nachblau, but it could be a specific colour for the 530e.

Press release below.

Think creatively. Move with the times. Two essential concepts for sustainable concepts. The BMW 530e iPerformance implements both approaches perfectly and remains way ahead of its time. It relies on electrifying driving pleasure and, thanks to the plug-in hybrid drive, looks forward to a bright future.

BMW 530e iPerformance:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 2.0*
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 46*
Power consumption in kWh/100 km (combined): 12.7*

* These values are provisional figures and have not yet been confirmed.

VEHICLE CONCEPT.
The BMW 530e iPerformance combines an electric motor and a 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo petrol engine to create the highefficiency BMW eDrive plug-in hybrid drive. This enables purely electrical, locally emission-free short-range driving with a dynamic driving performance and – combined with the 4-cylinder petrol engine – long-distance capabilities.
View film

DRIVE SYSTEM.
The drive's core components include a 135 kW (184 hp) 4-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, a 70 kW (95 hp) electric motor and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 9.2 kWh. When running on electricity alone, the vehicle has a range of around 45 km and an electric top speed of 140 km/h.

* These values are provisional figures and have not yet been confirmed.
Experience BMW eDrive

INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT.
Intelligent energy management optimises the hybrid drive's power-efficiency factor by predictively choosing the appropriate drive. For example, available navigation data is used to identify in advance the sections of the route and driving situations that are best suited for the electric motor or for charging the high-voltage battery.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
The BMW 530e iPerformance has various drive modes, with which the driver can exert a great influence on real fuel consumption. The result in practice depends firstly on the choice of driving modes – and secondly on personal driving behaviour.

DESIGN.
The BMW 530e iPerformance makes a very self-confident appearance in an unmistakeable business suit: kidney grille slats in typical BMW i blue. Blue wheel hub covers. A BMW i logo on the front side wall. eDrive logos on the Hofmeister kink and on the doorsill finishers.
Connectivity. The My BMW Remote App for plug-in hybrids for iOS and Android shows detailed information on the current status of the BMW 530e iPerformance – such as the battery charge level and the remaining range. Remote control can be used to schedule charging operations via the weekly timer.


CONVENIENT CHARGING.

The vehicle can be charged from household power sockets with the charging cable included or on the go from public charging stations with a cable available from BMW accessories. The navigation system and BMW Remote App give information about the location and availability of suitable stations. Billing can be carried out via the BMW ChargeNow card, for example.

Fuel consumption, power consumption and CO2 emissions.
The figures for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption depend on the wheel and tyre sizes selected. Consumtion data is determined in accordance to the ECE driving cycle.

The driving range depends on a variety of factors, especially: personal driving behaviour, selected route, weather conditions, usage of heating/cooling and preconditioning.

Further information about the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger automobiles can be found in the 'New Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emission Guidelines', which are available free of charge at all sales outlets and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany.

I think there is a 540e coming shortly after - as you say 30e seems like it will be under-powered.

Yeaaaa why are they calling this a performance model? This just seems like a normal hybrid as far as performance is concerned.

Underpowered?
Anything close to 300hp is NOT underpowered in my book.
It has 279hp combined.

A 40e model would be nice too (and may be coming as suggested above). However, forum member ynguldyn has said in one of this past updates:

So performance may in fact be on par with the 330e, which is pretty decent, despite the 530e being a heavier vehicle.

250 hybrid horses, is not like 250 ponnies from a conventional drivetrain.
It's much more explosive, which the 0-100 km/t in just 5.9 sec suggest.
But the hybride thingy moves along s-l-o-w-l-y. Not impressed with the range thus far, or just from the previous generation PIH solutions.
On paper, this is basicly like driving the X5 40e, which have a tiny 110 electric hk, You can imagine how such a heavy SAV is to drive in eDrive only, it's far from the ultimate driving machine.

The hybrid is just a stop gap anyway, BMW needs to show us a i-pace competitor asap.
Since i bought an i3, my F25 collects dust, i've bought my last dinosaur powered car for sure

I find it amazing that the "Charge Port" door isn't simply located in the rear(driver side),...opposite of the regular gas fill port! That door on the fender really sucks if you asked me,...but then,...who's asking?

Charge port in front is just more practical. If you've ever lived with an electric car you would know that all the public charging spots have the charger up front. It would be nice if a kidney grill pops out and you can charge that way like what Audi does with the E tron A3.

I've lived with a Tesla for two and half years now. It has the charge port at the rear driver side. No problems at all...

A couple of things.
People who will chose this over the regular 530i do so because of the electric drive. I'm looking towards this to replace my Tesla when its lease expires. And although a fully electric 5-series would have been preferred, this might have to do for now.
If you want more power and a hybrid there's always the 540e later if I recall correctly.

Too bad the electric range isn't a little bit more. Just some 20 km more would make a huge difference.

What really sucks though is the charging option. As far as I can see from the connector, it only accepts a single phase which in most cases means max 3.6 kW (there are 7.2 kW single phase but unclear if that can be used).
And this is for the european version which is the ones in the pictures.

Unfortunately I've not seen anything about any 6 pot + electric models. That would be a far more exciting proposition in my book. From all I've read, anyone with a commute that has any distance would still be far better off with a diesel as these hybrids only get in the 30s mpg. I can get that in the M135i, so why not stick a small motor with a 6 pot that for the stop start bits low slow speed bits (which is where you burn most petrol) and leave the exciting engine for everything else?

I expect the first i6 + electric we'll see, if any, will be on an M car or an M performance model in a few years.

No of cylinders isn't the case, it's more having a more powerful petrol engine with added boost from a motor.
