They already have a recall on the 45e

I have two leases to replace in Dec. My current 2018 40e is POS. Drive train error every day. Now two months left and throw this POS. Debating should I go with new 45e or 40i?

Interested to hear your POV.
Since you already lived with electrical issues in the 40e just get the regular 40i .I was between both models and I figured the 40i is bulletproof and I didn’t want the headache. If it was a 2022 and it was sorted out then maybe I would.
The recall says an internal inspection revealed that the welding beads on the high-voltage storage tank were not completely removed during production.
The problem only occurs when the weld bead is improperly shaped and improperly positioned, but it cannot be ruled out. Since the pearl can lead to a short circuit in the high-voltage battery, in the most unfortunate case, BMW prefers to play it safe and has decided to recall the cars.
