2020 X5 50e Default driving mode

khakimi · 07-30-2023, 01:28 PM

I have not figured out how or if possible to change default driving mode. Mine always starts in HYBRID and I prefer the ECO HYBRID PLUS. Even when driving when I hit an eZone and it automatically switches to full electric when I leave the zone it goes back to regular hybrid.

Not a huge problem but mildly annoying if there is somewhere you can fix this.

It may be possible through coding, but not sure if there's a way to force it otherwise. On my 2021 45e, I used BimmerCode to change the default startup mode to Adaptive, but the other choices were available. I do not know if that works on the 50e.

In drive settings you can activate electric individual mode for startup.
