I hate seeing all these comments about the low range. Range is nothing more than efficiency multiplied by battery capacity. The PHEVs might have efficiency of 3 miles per kW/hr on the high side. Each kW/hr of battery is still around $200 so with typical margins it would need to sell for $250. Right now consumers seem to only be willing to buy the 40e for a $0 premium over the 35i. Therefore each extra 3 miles of range loses BMW about $200-250. If you were an executive or shareholder would you throw that kind of money away?

This is very good! Mercedes has a very strong contender with the GLE hybrid. Pairing it with a 6-cyl and 50 mile range makes this nearly perfect!

Full Electric X5 is just a matter of time... Right behind the iX3. With all the money BMW has invested in batteries lately it's not that far away.

it would be much more efficient than gas. i can't understand why there isn't a single hybrid diesel from any manufacturer.

i thought it would be cool to have a diesel engine with batteries under the floor/cargo area. the diesel engine constantly idles and charges 1/2 of the batteries as the car uses the other half. then, as one of the batteries runs low, the power delivery and charging switches places via a management system. the diesel would also power the drive wheels when needed.

As a current 40e driver, these are all fantastic improvements. My only gripe is the car not being able to use regenerative braking to charge the battery past 54%, which is the Achilles heel of the current 40e.
Also, our current lease ends in December, which means I have to find another alternative for a year or so which may force us into a 40i. |
