I test drove a 40i some months ago before ordering my 45e and I'm pretty sure when driving in the traffic jam I didn't touch the steering wheel for a long time. Does this mean we also get the Extended Traffic Jam Assistant here or am I imagining things?

Thanks!

The driver attention camera is on my car as far as I know since I see a camera above my speed dials (or what looks like it) and it's part of the manual (the app I downloaded which has explanation for features/functions of my car). I haven't tried it out yet though.

I did try out the driving assistant and auto stop/start & drive during traffic jam which works fine but I was keeping my eyes on the road in the meantime so haven't seen attention camera / feature in action yet.

Mine just arrived at dealer …

Barely three weeks after delivery, a hybrid BMW X5 costing more than 100,000 euros burns out at the municipal school parking lot (Belgium)... 😟

Mine is planned for delivery week 50, this is scary news...

I also read it just now.
It was the second one delivered in Belgium
Ours is week 49. Maybe he didn’t do the cable recall yet

What cable recall?

There was a delivery freeze about two weeks ago on the hybrid due to a recall regarding the earth wire installation on the auxiliary heater. The freeze was lifted on Monday with no corrective action required.

It sounds like they found a problem and issued a recall as well as changing the procedure at the factory. I think / hope that mine was just one of those built about the time and they were just verifying that it had been done correctly.

Strange my concession told me yesterday (12th Nov) that they still have to do the 'corrective action'. They even emailed me the internal documentation they received from BMW. The document states the steps they need to perform. (attached, Dutch language).

Not sure who to believe.

Also got confirmed that my delivery this week is postponed to mid next week and they need to process the recall of the earth wire before they are allowed to deliver the car.

Picture quality isnt great, I took the picture with my mobile phone as usual

The black wheels look a bit more aggressive, in my opinion looks really great in real life - better than on the picture.

Hah we have the exact same winter wheels on order, but with black saphire car. Actually the wheels already arrived at the dealership but with the all terrain tires, so they send them back. Car is still in transit so no biggie. Luckily they noticed it now.

I had a similar setup on my 4 Gran Coupé - bicolour for summer, black for winter

Which tyres did you choose? Pirelli scorpions? I am doubting to put the 21 winter tyres of those on...instead of having 20 winter set. Looks Great though
TMT, i believe we are on the same ship (Tosca left the Port of bremerhaven today for goteborg, so hopefully Next thursday in Zeebrugge). I Will have ceramic coating treatment before the car Will be leaving the dealership.

Make that 3 ... I ordered the same set last week. I wanted to order it together with the car in June but the dealer told me to wait for the extra 15% off in November. Which I did. So now I have an appointment to wrap and ceramic coat the car. I have winter wheels and I have a charging station. Don't have a car though

It's Tanzanite Blue II Individual - depending on the angle and lighting it can look either blue, black or purple

Thanks.

The tyres are indeed Pirelli Scorpions.

I have been trying to figure out myself what to buy to get the best charging time. From what I understand people usually have a 1 phase line which tops at 16Amp.
The 45e is limited to a charging capacity of 3.7KW (by the car itself). Not sure about this, hard to find these details or I'm clearly missing it somewhere.

So I'm assuming having a 1 phase wallbox will be enough to reach the fastest charging time possible with this car. Having more will not make the car charge any faster because the limit is the car.

I have been looking at a wallbox from Pulsar
(https://wallbox.com/nl_be/pulsar-typ...kw-enkelfasige)

Hope to read some info from drivers that have they 45e already to give some feedback/info on this. It would be very helpful to me as a newbie hybrido :-)

At home i'm using a KEBA P30 as a charging station. The official BMW wall box is an KEBA P20 is around the same price like the one you have in this message. Charging is done on 16A. The maximum of charging. Takes the 45e 7 hours to full charge.
