Would you order a 50e today, being aware of the ongoing issues?

johnonroad · 04-27-2024, 01:10 PM

My 50e is scheduled for production next week (Week 18), looked at/test drove the m60i when they delayed my car earlier this year but decided to stay with the 50e. For my driving, having the hybrid made more sense as I will probably end up driving all electric 90% of the time.

The Bimmerpost forum has been very helpful to me in understanding the X5 50e issues. I am seriously considering waiting for the G65 PHEV two plus years down the road... I will wait and see how the X3 evolves in the next gen in June, and decide. It is quite a shame...

Loving the 50e. Drive electric 95%, knowing I have great back-up.

And electric mileage in warmer weather has risen from 33-38 to 42-45.

Happy camper.
