And I d love driving the car, esp in electric mode. It is so quiet and smooth. The ICE loaner the dealer gave me felt archaic. YMMV

The noise is something I'm definitely getting readjusted to! That, and missing instant torque. With that said, the ICE X5 is no slouch... it just announces its intentions
I think you have the right mindset on range. If you didn't watch the estimated range in your ICE, then don't do it now. It is a little different for a full EV because you can't pull in and charge everywhere, but no reason to worry about it much with the 45e.
