Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Good compromise for regular use without available charging infrastructure. 31th of 99 in Combined consumption (5.5 L/100), 29th of 95 in Tank range (1236 km).

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Combined consumption, the Bmw 520d (1st with 4.3 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is Tank range, the Bmw 520d (1st with 1535 km) takes the lead.

Fuel consumption: 5.5 L/100 L/100 (31th of 99 in Combined consumption)

The 530i consumes 5.5 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the Bmw 520d (4.3 L/100).

Tank range: 1236 km (29th of 95 in Tank range)

On a full tank, the 530i covers 1236 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 1535 km.

BMW 530i: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 99 grand tourers 2018–2022, the 530i ranks 31th of 99 in Combined consumption (5.5 L/100, behind the Bmw 520d), 29th of 95 in Tank range (1236 km, behind the Bmw 520d), 64th of 99 in 0–100 km/h (6.4 s, behind the Bmw M5 CS).

1236 km on a full tank (5.5 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 29th of 95 in autonomie du segment.

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Bmw 520d leads in Combined consumption (4.3 L/100 vs 5.5 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 530i vs Bmw 520d duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
