    News on delivery of first Batch of IM5

    Not much I'd say, but very happy to be proved wrong as I ordered mine four weeks ago!

    News on delivery of first Batch of IM5

    Well, I suppose taking into account the Christmas break, that's still around the initial estimate. Hopefully we won't get the debacle that happened around the introduction of the MG4 three years ago. My initial estimate then was eight weeks and it took almost 20!!!

    IM5/6 Dashcam

    Quote from the Owner's Manual: If there is excessive user data (not used by DVR) in the memory card, the DVR may not recognize the card. This DVR is compatible with a high speed Micro SD card, and the recommended capacity is 64GB and above. It seems the DVR can also play movies from the SD...

    I ordered an LR IM5 three weeks ago and was quoted 10 to 12 weeks delivery.

    Towbar

    It doesn't come with a towbar fitted as standard, but it can be fitted with one - when one is produced! I can't see any available as yet

    Applied for finance

    These are the figures I personally have been quoted for a PCP agreemnent of 3 years and a low annual mileage:- IM5 LR retail price = £44583 Cash price of the car after adjustment = £37295.80 inc VAT. For me, this adjustment figure is the retail figure plus delivery charge (£346.50), first...

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

    Apologies for that. Try a Google search for "Portable Car Battery Jump Starter". That should give you some choices(y)

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

    You'd probably be better off getting yourself a 12v booster, such as: 12v Boost

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

    I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, however why not simply turn the car on and let the inverter and HV battery do their thing?

    IM5/6 Dashcam

    To be fair, when I bought the NextBase 422GW front and rear cameras I'm currently using in the MG4, I had to purchase an SD card separately. They only guarantee the card if it bears their brand as well.

    IM5/6 Dashcam

    I wasn't able to check that aspect during my test drive as, until I downloaded the Owner's Manual, neither I, or the salesman, knew where to find the micro-sd slot (it's in the arm rest storage box, next to the 12v power socket apparently) at the time. Oh, that and we didn't have an sd card...

    IM5/6 Dashcam

    I am aware that the IM5 (and presumably the IM6) use a camera in the windscreen sensor cover to record to a DVR as per a normal dashcam, but does anyone know if recordings are also recorded from the rear view camera? If not, I wonder if NextBase have a product that may be compatible with the...

    Anyone can purchase on the Affinity Scheme

    True that PCP will be more expensive way for customers than a cash buy or personal loan buy. Because the HP payments would be too low with the deposit I'd be using, I couldn't get an HP quote. A bank loan would have horrendous monthly figures! However, assuming you will be returning the car on...

    MG IM5 information & reviews

    Certainly the IM5 I test drove two weeks ago was the LR version, so they are around. Probably only known reviewers getting to drive the performance version. Bring out the big guns first!

    MG IM5 information & reviews

    My issue with all the reviews/opinions I have seen so far is that they are all based on the performance version. Why none for the LR or standard versions which are the more likely versions to appeal to Joe Average?

    Anyone can purchase on the Affinity Scheme

    Indeed. I joined the MG Car Club just recently, and after 3 months will qualify for the Affinity discount even though, in my own mind, I find it difficult to equate owning a Chinese car badged as an MG with other members who own "real" MGs such as Midgets, MGBs etc. Having said that, many...

    EV Database efficiency figures look poor

    That was my thinking. I home charge for zero or minimal cost 99% of the time and only dc charge during longer journeys. As that only happens two or three times a year, meh, it's not really an issue for me. In fact, my main reason for choosing the LR over the standard version was simply just for...

    EV Database efficiency figures look poor

    I think I must have been lucky a couple of weeks ago when I managed the full 80kW for my MG4 for a few minutes at least from the 80kW rated Instavolt charger in Bognor Regis. OK, so it dropped to around 55kW for the rest of the charge but not bad all the same. Apologies for veering off topic!

    EV Database efficiency figures look poor

    If it was a demonstrator, I'd be suspecting that a few customers have been a bit lead footed to try out the power :unsure: . The demo car I test drove was showing 3.8mi/kWh at the time of my testing. Speaking for myself, I've never been precious about max range. I very rarely drive more than a...
