Can anyone comment on this part:

Driving Assistant Professional Package now offers Highway Assistant.

What is the current 2019-23 model DAP capable of? Any major upgrades? Thanks,

MSRP… is way too high for 50e..

What are you comparing it to? Seems like a pretty compelling package to me for $14k less than a Cayenne E-Hybrid (and probably $25k less when equally equipped). What else is comparable?

The M60 M Sport is screaming jr legit M. I'm certain that the LCI F95/F96 will have the grill slits going horizontal, but with the same S68 engine and close to 4 sec 0-10 not sure if a F95/F96 makes any more sense—but I withhold full judgement and my final decision until the LCI F95/F95 is revealed.

Any new interior/exterior color's?

• The first is missing the Cornering Light
• The second has the Cornering Light
• The third has the Cornering Light and blue elements like the pre-LCI Laser Lights. The third picture came from the BMWUSA website.

• The rear tail lights are much improved. They have a point of view and look much less "bug eyed."
• The 50e wheels in the press photos are gorgeous. I hope these are all-season because I''m never again making the mistake of buying a wheel that doesn't support all-season (such as on my 21" X3 wheels...). The tire swapping is a hassle.
• From the below photo, looks like I can get Bowers and Wilkins on the 50e. YES.
• I really like the seat pattern in the below photo. Might anyone know if these non-leather seats are as comfortable as the leather?

• The price is obnoxious. I'm going to load it up fully and might also cross-shop against a Cayenne at this point. But BMW tech/automation always win.
• While the front end looks much better for the base model (even despite the simpler headlights), I wonder if the M Sport front end will look great in anything but black. Since I wanted to get Dravit Gray, I'll need to do a long think about color. Any suggestions here?

You can drive up to 85mph without hands on wheel according to UK press release about highway assistant.

TurtleBoy wrote

That is a major improvement. Currently hands-free is only available under 40mph. Highway Exit Assistant should also be available which will allow the vehicle to automatically make the maneuvers necessary to take the exit.

Are the Laser Lights truly gone? I know it has been said they were going away, but there are 3 different headlight designs from the pictures I've seen.

• The first is missing the Cornering Light
• The second has the Cornering Light
• The third has the Cornering Light and blue elements like the pre-LCI Laser Lights. The third picture came from the BMWUSA website.

I recently put down a deposit for an ~April 2023 X5 50e build. I'm cautiously optimistic about this refresh.

I'll have a hard time parting with my X3 M40i (my favorite all-around car ever) but look forward to fewer trips to the gas station given my city driving patterns.

Here are some thoughts:

Awesome:

Sorry to disappoint you but don't assume that Bowers & Wilkins or anything else interesting you see in these photos will be available on 50e in the US. There is a disclaimer under all the photos on the US BMW websites saying "European Model Shown".

CAtoMA wrote

I love the disclaimer on photos clearly from the southwest United States. I will still hold out hope that they want to make more money off me and offer me the better sound system.

Our salaries don't keep pace with the rate of inflation on these cars and everything else.

Maybe the tech bros who haven't been laid off can afford it.
