New build X5 45e
Hey Guys,
Have been reading a lot in the G05 forums lately, usually I was reading the F15 forums (I have an F15 M50d). Especially the threat about extended and full leather was very usefull! I'm building my next car. Have been in doubt about the 45e vs M50i a lot. I love the M50i engine but the tax on such a car in my country is really killing the deal. (50k euro additionally). That is such an amount for just 2 extra cilinders, I've decided to build my car based on the 45e engine. I have a lot of short trips (within 15 km, and without highway) which should all be feasible on full electric mode. I've written out all the options since that is different per country/region. BMW X5 45e Msport Mineral weiss 377 - M-sport pack - 1TC 20" styling 740M with winter tyres - 2NH M-sport braking system - 2TB Aut sport transmission with flippers - 3MC Shadowline roofrails - 456/488 Comfort seats - 4M5 Leather dashboard - 710 M-sport steering wheel - 715 M Aerodynamic package - 760 Shadow line - 775 Black roof VASW - Merino extended leather black 2VH - Active steering 3AC - Electric hidden towing hook 3DZ - No line badges 3KA - Acoustic windows 319 - Universal garagedoor opener 323 - Softclose system 402 - Panorama roof 417 - Sunshades rear seats 418 - Storage package 420 - Tinted windows rear 44A - Cooled/heated cupholders front 4FL - Travel/comfort system 4KR - Trim: Fineline Stripe braun 4NB - 4 Zone airco 610 - Headup display 7M9 - Shadowline extended ZM6 - Audio/media pack - 654 DAB Tuner - 688 HK Surround sound - 6NW Comfort telephony - 6WD Wifi hotsport ZS5 - Safety pack - 5AL Active protection - 5AU Driving assistant Professional ZT5 - BMW Personal CoPilot Pack - 322 Comfort access - 5DN Parking Assistant Plus ZH6 - High Executive pack - 494 Electric heated seats - 552 Adaptive LED headlights - 5AC High beam assistant 4T7 - Massage function 4HA/4HB - Heating pack (front/rear seats, steering wheel, etc) Separate order: 1PA 22" Styling 742M rims with summer tyres because of 3AC (electric hitch) 22" is not allowed (to much pressue on the tires with full weight trailer behind it). But I use my hitch only for a bike rack. In case of a big load, I'll change to 20" rims. Options I'm in doubt about: 4FL vs 6FH. (Travel & Comfort vs Rear Seat Entertainment) I know that 4FL will save some money when buying some ipads. But the 6FH system is fixed in the car which is more convenient. I don't have to worry about theft of forgetting them. I have the RSE in my current F15 as well, and it's fine, kids are loving it. But they are still young, so they probably want more as they grow older. The ipads are more flexible in that case. Hook them up to the hotspot and watch whatever is online. But kids are in booster/child seats for some years, so if they drop it, someone has to pick it up. 6U8 - Gesture control: I'm not sure I need this or will use it. It feels a bit like a gadget you want to show your family/collegues, not something you use on a regular base. 6C4 - Connected package pro II: What is it, what does it do? 6DR - BMW Drive recorder: Is this a software or hardware feature? In other words, can I activate it myself (esys)? I've also been in doubt about Tansanitblau II and Mineral Weiss. The blue seems so dark. 5AZ - I've thought about lasers, but it's only high beam. I hardly ever use it. So it's just optics. It looks nice, but it also feels a bit like, look at me with my star wars lasers thing... Looking forward to your remarks/comments!

It uses the surround cameras so you need to have the 3D view hardware for this to work. Don't know if you can simply code it. It appears as a connected drive application so there may be more than just a simple enabling for it to work. Gesture control certain is a good thing to show off to friends and acquaintances. For me the jury is out on real utility; I'm trying to get used to using it. Lazer isn't just high-beam, it is a longer range hight-beam the plain LED headlights, which a plus. Also, depending on the country you are in it may include matrix lighting which is probably a double plus. |

Yes, but for increasing sound, moving my thumb a little is much less effort than making circels above the transmission lever right? According to the brochure, the Lasers only work when high beam is on. All streets/roads in my country have street lighting, I only use my high beams to alert someone when he/she is driving without lights or so. Doesn't seem wise to laser their eyes just before we cross eachother? Maybe it's indeed country specific, but in case it's only high beam as the brochure says, seems like a waste of money for just two blue X signs in the headlight unit. |

I have almost the same build in Arctic Grey
I had a test drive with a 745e with gesture controle and I liked it a lot. I found it very functional and not a gadget. I missed it instantly when returning to my F16 Initially I also wanted the Drive recorder. But my BMW dealer did not advise it because it's very basic and there are superior products out there like Blackvue. The drive recorder does not have a parking mode. I found that very essential. So I will let my dealer probably install a Blackvue instead of taking the drive recorder. |

I have a 2ch dashcam in my current F15 which is working great, I will place it in the new G05, so there are no additional features in the drive recorder besides some basic dashcam stuff, I can definatelly live without. Is the artic gray much darker than the F15 grey? I loved the F15 dark grey in combination with black shadowline elements. On the website is almost seems black. |

I used the basic functions, volume, switching between tracks, ... It was easier than the controls on the steering wheel. There will probably be some more functions but did not have time to explore them all
I was hoping the drive recorder was more advanced and that it could replace a Blackvue but that's not the case. I choose Arctic grey because black drove me nuts I hope Arctic grey will be more peace of mind |

Since you're from Belgium (hi neighbour), you must have the lasers and not the 22" I guess? I hear some collegue's always complain about the lighting and bad road conditions. |

I have the lasers and 22" 742M black wheels and the 20" 748M black for winter.
All streets have lights here in Flanders, highways also but they put the lights out at night on highways to save money. Years ago they were all night on, now only with bad weather. The condition of the roads is something else We can literally feel it when we cross the border from Holland or Germany into Belgium. The roads are crap and of inferior quality in Belgium. Too bad because cars are the cash cow of the Belgian government but it doesn't reflect in the quality of our infrastructure. It's just a dream when I must go to Germany and can use the Autobahn without limits |

Great build!!
T&C is flexible and your kids will want their own ipads and not be limited to car system Gesture control for me is useless as you have to be very accurate with your fingers and its easier to just touch the button. What is co-pilot? I dont see that option in my country, just the driver assistance pro.. |

- 5AU Driving Assistant Professional - 5DN Parking Assistant Plus - 322 Comfort Access But it requires High Executive and Safety Pack. Choosing the CoPilot pack instead of the options separate saves about 1k euro. |

What do you guys think of the M-sport badge on the side skirts of the 45e. Will you keep it or choose the option to remove it? On the left side the M-sport badge is on the charging lid. I find that a bit awkward and it puts attention on the charging lid. I'm in doubt, keep the M-sport badge or choose the option to remove it.

What is option 418 - Storage package on the BMW X5 45e, what does it include? It excludes everything written in the 418 option description for the 45e Option 418 Luggage compartment package. When the luggage compartment lid is opened, the electric luggage compartment cover slides backwards and disappears under the floor with the push of a button, the integrated guide and anti-slip rails keep the luggage securely in place when traveling. Note: Electrical functions and non-slip rails do not apply to the X5 xDrive45e. (418 not possible in connection with 4UB - Third row of seats). 40i,50i,30d,50d €695 45e €86

If you really want to get the cover completely out of the way you can make it retract into the floor but first, you have to make sure that there is no cargo covering the hatch on the floor. It's one of the best options I've had in a car. |

Was it possible to order the car with WInter tires ? Sales men said to me it wasn't possible and also they won't install the 22" if I bought them on a seperate order.
I want black wheels , so the 20 inch with summer tires will be sold when I have it and install my aftermarket 22". Also will buy some aftermarket 20" black wheels with winter tires |

with 22” make sure you drive around every pothole you encounter on bad Belgian roads because otherwise you will be getting lots of new tires. I opted for 21” instead, happy with my choice. 20” for winter.
I have lasers and high beam and it’s very nice if you have long dark stretches that you drive very early or very late where there isn’t a lot of traffic. The hey here I am is unavoidable with this car, they will also notice your X5 without those lasers, trust me I use jesture control for next/prev song and song volume mostly, sometimes also to waive of alternative routes of GPS. I haven’t checked all use cases, should really look into it. I opted for travel & comfort pack. I don’t want my kids to always have access to screens so no build in solution so I can avoid turning them into zombie mode. Nothing wrong with just talking to one another. They can have iPad with them if we would drive to south of france or something which takes good amount of hours. I didn’t opt for luggage compartment package because it looked like (maybe I’m completely wrong here) you loose a bit of space with that automated lid on X5 45e trunk space. I have a dog cage that fits the trunk but then the lid needs to taken off the car. Electric functions do not apply to X5 45e I read above, what does that mean? Can anyone tell what comes with the package in the end? White should indeed take some more time before it looks dirty but once it does it also looks very dirty. Better than black though. |
