X5 40i or Hybrid - Any regrets?

Regular X5 or Hybrid - how do you choose?

I know how the X5 40i drives but I’ve never driven a hybrid, does it feel drastically different?

Which one would you/did you buy and do you have any regrets?

Any other information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you ☺️

Hybrid, it's cheaper and has air suspension. The lack of auto start/stop is smoother even than the updated 40i with mild hybrid and the hybrid feels much more powerful. I have test driven both extensively, own an M50i and my neighbor has a 45e as well.

And with the weight of the car, it drives amazing. We just ordered one for my wife to complement my M50i.

How does the M50i compare to the 45e acceleration-wise?
