FWIW. All available data leads me to conclude that the 50e problems have not been resolved at least not to my satisfaction. I went with the M60i last August when my original intention was to order a 50e. I've been a forum member of BMW, Porsche, MB, Audi for years and I cannot recall anything remotely equivalent to the current 50e problems.

Haven't seen anything to convince me that drivetrain issue is fixed. 50e is a wonderful vehicle when it works as intended. I simply do not have the patience to have my car in the shop at the incident frequency of the 50e.

It's also interesting to read about the '24 Cayenne hybrid on rennlist. Production delays since it's introduction. Seems that the technology is there but the execution is lacking.

There is no indication either from what we are seeing with our members or from the information from dealer personnel that any significant change has been occurring with the frequency of the issues. Given the limited production we likely won't be able to see any change in the trend, if there is a change, until late summer or so.

I really hope not.... I have been so happy with my 40i. I really want the 50e to be a success story. |

Well, my PTSD kicked in. I called my sales man and I told him about the CEL issue the 50e have and I want to change my order. He did mention that I am making the right decision, he said that he sees a lot more of PHEV in the service bay. He said to go for the 40i, m60i or comp, and I told him I rather go with the M60i to kind of match the power from the 50e. I went ahead and placed the new order for a m60i. Thank you guys!

I would suggest getting the space saver spare. It is a cheap option and you won't regret having it should it be needed.

Talked to a Genius today and mine's still on track for a Week 18 production (week of April 29th). Figure that it's a good sign that the date hasn't moved over the last month.
