All my friends are getting into hot cars and I am getting into a comfortable car by the time I get to the car.
The 530e runs the AC off the hybrid battery so it doesn't start the car or unlock the car. I have had some weird looks by others getting into their cars alongside mine that sounds like it is running, but of course it isn't.
It will be a tight fit for the golf clubs but I think you can do it. I only wish that BMW would import the 545e as well.

My only comment there would be the size of the boot is a reasonable bit smaller in the 530e than a normal 5 series. Heres a video plus a bit of cringy eyecandy. There is also an X3 30e and X5 45e which might be alternatives but they are getting big and won't handle as nicely as a normal car.
Back to OP - I honestly think a 440i GC or S5 sportback could be a really good option for you, still car handling but you get a bit of extra practicality compared to a normal sedan.
