Exciting update!
A couple of thoughts:
-I wonder if they also upped the charging current. My 530e maxes out at 16 Amps draw, but I imagine with this bigger battery you want to be able to charge faster. I installed a 40 amp juicebox Pro charger at the house so I am ready for the near to mid term future....
-looks like BMW finally consolidated the eDrive modes with the driving modes. In my 530e its a bit of a redundant mess. On the X5 it will be Sport, Hybrid, Electric - which makes sense.
-that 6 cylinder turbo will completely transform the driving characteristics of this car.
-my prediction for next model to get the same treatment: it will be called the 750e.
