Decided to go 40i.
- My wife is not sold on hybrids, she will probably never plug the car in. As we all know happy wife...
- I'm afraid of issues, 40i is a pretty proven platform, 45e is very new
- Resale values are somewhat unknown, but history says the hybrid is lower
- Spare tire; had a sidewall blowout on a 335 years ago with runflats and was stranded for 5 hours. Don't want a repeat of that.
Giving up the tax credit sucks, but the 40i is still a good value relative to the competition.
For me, its ICE or EV, not sold on PHEV at this time. The good news is BMW gives us the option.
