Please Help: 40d or 45e?

Hello Forum Members,

Hope you're all doing well, and will be willing to help with the below.. I've already checked other Threads before posting but can't find this info:

Narrowed down to the X5 40d / 45e M Sport and finalised identical Spec, but really struggling to decide between the 40d or 45e Engine Options - getting the same discount % (double-digits) on either, so difference in 4 Year PCP costs is almost negligible; and they both feel great to drive!!

I know it's down to typical journeys but I do all types (Short & Long and City & Motorway etc.) - so any suggestions / advice / insight / guidance would be sincerely appreciated

What are the Pro's & Con's of going for either G05 Engine, and any other factors to consider (e.g. New Better Engines Launched at LCI, 45e Price Increases, 40d GMFV Decreases etc.)?

This will be an all-rounder family car which needs to do everything, so are there any 'inherent' benefits or challenges of the 45e which might not exist as a free or available option in the 40d?

Finally, just wanted to check: since I'm expecting to get delivery at the end of 2021 or early 2022 and in no rush - does it makes sense to hold off for the incoming LCI?

P.S. This isn't a sponsored post so please PM if any of you are looking for an awesome BMW Dealer doing excellent Discounts..
