I’m at 51k miles now with my 2022 and I am now certain it’s the mild hybrid motor/generator since it’s not hard to make the correlation between that and the assist, all for that mere 10hp. Anyway the good news is it didn’t get worse, it’s pretty much the same as the first day. So I assume it really is the caracteristic of this setup. I learned to modulate my throttle where mild assist doesn’t kick in, which makes me accelerate slowly but hey i’m averaging 30+ mpg now .
I thought about fiddling with the belt tensioner (BMWTIS mentions some very specific adjustment for these mild hybrid engines) but it’s really not worth it. |
