Worth waiting 48V mild hybrid system on X5 40i?
Worth waiting 48V mild hybrid system on X5 40i?
Will it appear in the next 6-7 months? 5 series gets this feature this autumn. I am about to order new X5 40i and i hesitate: to wait for 48V mild hybrid system or not? :-) thanks for hints. |

Don't know about the BMW system, but it's transparent on the wife's E53. Auto start-stop is good but not noticeably better than 12V systems. no other differences that I can feel.

Have tried the GLE450 with 48V mild hybrid system - actually, I had one on order before I switched to X5.
Even though it is supposed to have some theoretical advantage on paper, you really can't feel it in everyday driving and the benefit is really "mild" . I personally don't think it is worth the wait. |

Anyone know when the 48V battery will begin for the X5 40i? I thought I read December production for Jan 2020 delivery at one point but haven’t seen any recent updates.

The bmw insider on the post below mentions X5 for 2020 (but isn’t clear on timing), and bmwblog mentions the X5 as well.
