mg im5

Hi I was thinking of getting a ceramic coating for my black IM5. There's a local-ish firm offering a discount - full winter wash & 4 year ceramic coating for £500 . Anyone know much about this ?

I maybe a little ‘superficial’ but it was the looks of the IM5 that attracted me in the first place when I saw it first in the motoring press in 2025. Perhaps it isn’t top of the ‘reason-to-buy’ list for most IM drivers. But it was when my wife came home yesterday to report that a postman had...

What's the maximum rapid charging speed you've seen in the real world and what was the charge curve like? (Don't forget to say which model you have).

Had my IM5 standard model now for six weeks and through the weather conditions encountered so far averaged between 2.7-3.1 miles per kWh on mixed driving conditions and journeys, mainly town and rural, no motorways. Playing around with regen between options I get the best consumption with...

Hi everyone, Each time I start the car, I get a window popping up which asks if I approve terms and conditions (or something like that). I have always agreed but is there a way of terminating this request? Thanks in advance. Mark

The manual available using the MG cars web page is about 360 pages long without an index, making finding something involves a lot of page turning. I have produced a page-topic list that may help people find information on a topic. I have attached this list for members to use, feel free to make a...

I have been charging in the cold these days. Efficiency goes down in the charging process as it gets colder, and is poor this time of year, with all the way down to 35% loss when it is really cold. For ok winter charging temps the loss on my IM6 is about 25%. So I tried a test with charging my...

Please see and comment here > IM5/IM6 Improvement requests?

Hi All, I've got a meeting this week with the head of IM Motors. If anyone has any feedback that they'd like to provide? I'm thinking of software bugs, any persistent teething issues, something that we could sort with an OTA in the near future? I know that IM Motors themselves are on with...

Hi all, I'm expecting my IM5 in the next couple of weeks, but I saw a post on another forum saying that there is no 'Pet Mode' - i.e. that you can;t leave a pet (or an elderely mother come to that) in the car with the doors locked without the alarm going off. This is a real issue for me as I...

Hi. Having only covered some 350 miles in IM5 am finding that the speed warning beeps/display are defaulting to 20mph at times even though travelling on 60/70mph roads with no side road entries/exits. Initially I thought that it was overly sensitive and picking up side road signs but have now...

I hope this little item hasn't been listed earlier. From way back I watched the two ladies on 'Electrtifying' discussing IM5s & IM6s, whilst waiting for mine to be delivered. Now, after a couple of weeks I am happy. I have the car which I like a lot. BUT AI little way in to the video one of the...

Anyone else considering ceramic coating their IM5? My previous MG4, which I'd had ceramic coated, was handed back to the bank at the end of the three year PCP period. The vehicle examiner who came to collect it, told me that he assumed from it's condition that it was new and unused. That...

I have finally been advised by the dealer in Cornwall that the IM5 LR that I ordered last September will be arriving in Avonmouth around the 23rd/24th of February. I am approaching the arrival of the IM5 with both excitement and trepidation. Excitement because it is a new offering from MG with...

Here’s the scenario: I’m driving to pick someone up at a train station. When I arrive, I pull up next to them (Person A) and put the car into Park. How is Person A supposed to open the passenger door? Pressing on the handle from the outside doesn’t seem to do anything, and I’d expect the...

In the specs for the IM5, it states, under Safety and Security, that it has Brake Disc Washing (BDW) as standard. Anyone know wtf that is? It's not mentioned anywhere in the Owner's Manual and Google just shows me cans of brake degreaser. Oh, and another thing - annoyed the IM5 is incapable of...

Does anyone else have an elusive rattle from the rear of their IM5? I noticed a sound like something was moving around in the boot area a day or so after getting the car, but now just 150 miles later it has become a definitive metal on metal 'clank' or rattle when driving over uneven roads...

Hi Silly question, is there any way the passenger can adjust the radio volume without interfering with the steering wheel while I'm driving or asking Voice Control to do it (not tried that yet)

HI Had all my badges wrapped in black, (just the top face) The company who did this have the templates for all the badges, and will sent them out in what ever colour you want. If anyone is interested, let me know so I can let you have the details.

Hi Well, I've had my IM5 now for over two months now and I'm very happy with it. It has taken that time to get used to it! I've tried to record the mileage & energy used. It's a shame the car doesn't record all this - my previous car the PHEV Prius recorded soooo much. Never mind, I've set up a...
