Wow thats very poor compared to a 30d.

I got Almost £14k on mine in September and the car has a lower base price by some £5k so almost £10k difference in total is a big big change on monthly payments.

Mines also on 2.9% apr.

Any reason why you are looking at a 45e? The above price difference negates any fuel saving no?
A slightly long story, but I test drive the 30d and didn't 100% get on with it, so bought a Discovery. Love the discovery but a couple of issues mean I am exploring options in the unlikely event of having to reject.

Had the B58 in my 440i, really enjoyed the PHEV experience in a RRS so if I moved to the X5 it would be for the PHEV. I suspect it would transform the refinement. Haven't driven one though, so it's based on lots of adding 2+2.

Agree that cracking deals are available on the 30d and on a pure cost basis the PHEV payback is slow.
