I was fortunate enough to have the all gas version of this (40e 2024) for a few days from BMW in Canada. I've driven a lot of high end cars in my life and this was one really impressed me. The ride, comfort, cabin space, power and overall driving experience was exceptional. It also got crazy fuel mileage. Drove it for 3 days straight all over the place and returned it with a 1/4 tank. Bravo BMW and nice review max.

[@M3dicayne]

Indeed. It got an illness in the car industry.... Take a look at Lexus. Still perfect. I own an F15 M50d and there you still have the probably easiest to use info- and entertainment system available. Also, you get fined for touching on your smartphone in a solid smartphone holder, but not when touching the touchscreen of a car? Where exactly is the difference? Don't get me wrong, I never use the phone while driving and hate people doing that as they literally endanger everybody else. But it was SO easy with buttons - you knew where they were and touched them. That's it.

Hi. You ve complained of suspension bouncing with the 45e. Is this still an issue with the facelift? How bad is the "comfort" setting in these new bmw s with airsuspension, compaired with spring suspension? Thanks!

I am considering this car w/out the M sport package (yes the 22 inch wheels) as the engine is exactly the same plus in other colors (other than black) the grill is plated so M line do not add much to the looks, do you have any opinion/ advise on the driving side of things?

Having the 530e myself with stage 1 and pushing just under 400 bhp with 660nm. I’m hesitating upgrading to this one due to the lack of boot space in 5 series. These would push easily to 600bhp on stage 1.

you're joking right? 530e with stage one has nowhere near 400hp

@@Tilata I have a german import B48. Its tuned by BR performance in Belgium. I have the onboard power reader and the rolling graph. They are two versions of them where one makes less power and the other makes more which is mine. I checked the vin number before I even bought it from the bmw dealer.

[@M3dicayne]

...this thing HAS 490 bhp, so 10 more hp would certainly be included in BMW's "lower claimed than real hp" attitude.

[@flitcroftLA]

I love mine. City driving in electric is virtually silent and comfort rides like a magic carpet much of the time (certain frequencies mess with it on the highway). Part of the appeal is the luxury and tech: ventilated seats, shiatsu massage, LED ambient lights all over and in the moonroof, huge Apple CarPlay, gesture controls, etc. The torque is monstrous too, feels way faster than my E90 M3. Also, seat heater (and armrest and door card) is two taps: once in the middle of the right climate readout at the bottom, once on the heated seat icon. Same for ventilated seats.

[@AlixLondon]

great vid - but after having a '23 50e for weekend I'm going to stick with my '21 45e for multiple reasons - the removal of all the physical buttons (after 1000 miles it was a deal breaker) , the removal of the manual battery recharge and hold functions (this is a heavily used feature) along with the removal of the rear seat fold function in boot etc etc... so many bad tactile decisions by BMW (mostly based on cost saving) all while putting up price! So I just had a EU stage 1 remap and now the X5 45e is 500bhp 800Nm

[@benboelens4812]

Battery hold is still an option in my 50e… also the seat do fold?

You missed the biggest upgrade that came with the B58TU2, port injection has been added to supplement that direct injection. Currently with a JB4 Burger tuned a 7 series to 500hp at the wheels with no mods. Bone stock, just a piggyback tune. Pair that with the 200ho from the electric motor and you have more power than the XM lmao

Just ordered one to Hungary, fully loaded except the bowers and wilkins sound system( super happy with harman kardon...) in grey and 22 black rims. Replacing a 2018 bmw x3 m40i, this is gonna be my first hybrid. One question: the 490 hp is combined power, but I'm wondering what happens when the battery gets low? does it affect performance or do they tweak the electric motor in a way that it always adds to the quoted performance figures to the normal engine power?
