Probably unlikely but does it come with a third row ? That would make it an ideal size for us

Intresting, the 45e Looks decent. The flip side will be the weight, lack of 3 seat row and the pathetic small e engine. Driving on this alene is embarresing, seeing the 45e have about the same power as the old 40e it's really not enough, to bad! The e engine should be about 200 hk, the old engine was more suited, though I6 is always nice!

FYI... If you put the car into Sport it will charge a little past 60%

Was undecided on whether I would renew my BMWCCA membership, as I wasn't sure I would be replacing my two cars with BMW. This car does it. The 50 mi electric range will do 100% of local use, and I'll have the 6-cyl for trips. Just completed a 6000 mi road trip in the X5 40e and returned 35 MPG, with no en route charging. ONE BIG CHANGE I WOULD LIKE: Either add a "B" point in the shifter which engages strong regeneration, like the Volvo; or add a software select for strong regeneration. I really miss the "one-pedal" driving of my i3, AND this would increase the range on electric only in city driving. My X5 40e lease ends on 11/20, so I'm in luck! Means that I can get a new M340i when my 330e lease ends on 5/20 as my "fun" car, as the X5 will do all the local duty. I understand that it'll be a "mild" hybrid and that's a good thing, as I won't need to keep it on a maintenance charger, because of non-daily use.

This is great news for us. As current 40e owners this is a welcome upgrade.
Inline 6, more combined power, and most importantly larger battery.
When this is available here we will be upgrading.

What are you talking about? What nutritional value are you looking for? I'm happy to provide it.

I'm not bashing anything. Look at the recent news and model lineup with the G Series SUV's...X2-M35i, X3, X5-40i & 50i, and now this X5-45e.

On the car model lineup, we are right around the corner from the new 3, the G-Series 5 & 7 are both gorgeous and a great refresher, the M550i is an absolute monster.

IMO, in the last year, there couldn't be a more exciting time to be a BMW owner. They've done a great job of creating a harmony between sport, performance, and luxury, despite continued growing regulations. BTW, I contribute plenty to these forums.

Anyhow, I'll be in line for my next G-Series, be SUV or Car, happy to join me, I'll bring the food, drink, and vitamins.

Maybe I missed it - anyone know if this plugs in with 120V or is it 240V? Figuring out the housing infrastructure improvements that would need to be made.

Or is it it a hybrid voltage where it just charges slowly on 120V? I guess the advantage is the electric range isn't insanely large (50 miles) on all battery like a Model X (237-289 miles).

Edit - think I found a good amount of information here: www.bmwcharging.com | looks like some flexible options.

Love the increase in range. I hope the timing works out that they are offering incentives on it when replacing our current 40e.

Yep, you can charge on either voltage but 240 is really what you want. 120 is super sloooow.

I like that this looks like a regular X5. If they release the "INext iX3" in it's current visual state, I'm changing brands. I already deal with the i3 "HEY EVERYBODY...I'M DRIVING AN EV" and won't continue that trend once it leaves. Fortunately, as mentioned previously, there will choices.

Totally agree on plug ins. 50-60 miles is the sweet spot for me. Hoping the 3 series E version will provide similar EV range. Ive seen the Audi test cars around Cali. Since BMW copies them and Merc, maybe they'll continue to follow and make their "I" cars closer to standard production models. (hint hint)

I never had a hybrid and planning to change my wife's X5 35i with the next 45e, so I'm looking into charging options.
I guess you mean 110v vs 220v right? (at least here in US)

nevermind, just ignore me
I figured out the 110v vs 120v dilemma...−5% to +5%

True, but I believe the charging losses are significantly greater at 240v, so technically it costs more to refuel at 240v. Probably a decision worth making, but people should at least be aware of this.

Was hoping that the plug-in port would be seamlessly built-in the taillight like the ones with Teslas

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?
I hate defenders of corporate executives. Sometimes you need to take a hit in the wallet, for product excitement and company growth. I get that there is diminishing return on battery size. I have a commute that is 65 miles drive, so 50 miles means the ic motor would kick in - not thrilling. 75-100 range would be a sweet spot for me. I dont care about bmws interests, I care about mine.

IC motor "kicking in" is the opposite of "not thrilling"

Why you even buy this car if you don't want to use that sweet I6 that defines BMW and has more than half the performance every day? Just buy a Tesla man....
