BMW are certainly not resting on their laurels and here we are just a few weeks after the new BMW 5 Series was launched in Ireland with a new plug-in hybrid variant which is set to have the possibility of electric driving with zero local emissions! With fuel consumption of 1.9 l/100 km that equates to CO2 emissions of just 44 g/km*, the BMW 530e iPerformance will be priced in Ireland from €55,900† on the road (OTR). The new 530e iPerformance also features a Digital Charging Service where BMW is the world’s first car maker to offer cost-efficient charging.
In the same way that M Performance is a nod to the link between the BMW core brand and BMW M, BMW highlights the transfer of know-how from BMW i to the core brand’s cars by adding the iPerformance tag to the designations of all plug-in hybrid BMWs. The list of ground-breaking models in whose tyre tracks the BMW 530e iPerformance will follow includes the BMW 225xe iPerformance, BMW 330e iPerformance, BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance and BMW 740e/740Le iPerformance. We look forward to spending a week with this car on its arrival to Ireland.
