That's very strange for sure that you guys can't get the 22" wheels as an option doesn't make sense

Congrats, you will not regret it. I have mine since middle of May having ordered it middle of November 19. With Covid only 7000kms done. Great vehicle if your trips are short but it is imperative you charge every night. Enjoy.

IIRC 22" only comes with non-runflat, and there's no place for a spare in the 45e due to the battery. Based on that, assuming it's a compliance issue that differs from country to country.

My 22" Pirelli's (factory delivered) are run flats.
The only limitation I had with the 22" on my 45e is that they are not available in combination with the tow package.

Looks great 👌. Il def charge it every night so that will help economy i do have a heavy right Foot so I'd imagine the 3ltr engine will
love Petrol. Hopefully lead times have improved a bit but I'm not sure. Do they ship them to Germany 1st do you know?

Your X5 will ship to Zeebrugge in Belgium and then on to Dublin by a CLDN ship which goes back and forth constantly. I installed a Garo tethered charger - no problems with it. Drove from Cork - Dublin - Cork before lockdown doing mostly 130/140kph and she returned 7.8 litres per 100 kms (30.6mpg old money). I was thrilled with that. My old 2014 X5 F15 3.0D had better fuel economy but there is no comparison with the power of the G05 and the comfort - totally different machines - hopefully your wait will not be too long.

Cheers for that info on the shipping. Ye home charger will be great I will look that up. That's not bad fuel economy at all for such a big machine. The G05 is so comfy and great power. The best of both worlds I think. Covid is a real spanner in the works but just sit and wait.

You probably know but the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) will pay an amount of €600 toward the cost of the home charger install. There are rules with the main one being that you are an individual rather than a company. After the grant my charger ended up costing me €900. Check their website. The time frame I was given when I ordered mine was four months - that was before Covid - hence reason it took 6 months to arrive.I reckon BMW have ramped up 45e Production as so popular now. Time will fly.
