Hi Guys,

Finally received my Vin number for the X45e fully loaded.

Having seen the X50e at the car show I am very happy to have ordered the X45e although I still had the possibility to change my order (early order) for Belgium. The front face of the Pre LCI is much more aggressive with the Laser headlights but also the gear shifter much more practical than the selector.

Also there is quiet a few missing option in the LCI version mainly:
- Integral Active Steering
- Bmw Laser Light (known info)
- Rear-seat Entertainment Professional
- Bmw Display Key
- Bmw Drive Recorder
- Wifi Hotspot
- Tv Function Plus

This will be my first BMW and my first SUV, I've only known mercedes in the past. Idrive tested the GLE & the X5 but quickly tipped in favor of the inline 6

I kinda off gone overkill for the specs, but you only live once

Feel free to give your opinion and insights about the BMW.

Color Black Sapphire Metallic (475)
Interior Individual Vollleder "elfenbeinweiss" (ZBEW)

Unfortunately you don't have the MyGarage that we do here in the US so I think getting information from your dealer is the only way.

[mikeone]

is there a way to track the cargo with the vin number still ?

Hello everyone,

Little feedback on my X5 45e after returning from vacation and some 12,000 km traveled, what can I say, It is an exceptional vehicle both for its comfort and its performance. the B58 inline 6 is a real pleasure on long journeys and the electric part is just extremely relaxing for trips in town. in short, a perfect combo for my use.

Consumption level on the highway with a full tank I run between 600 and 650km with the battery recharged at 100% its still reasonable, however with an empty battery can't do more than 400km in city use. Is it the same for you?

On the assisted driving part I am quite mixed, I have the impression that the lane change is very random sometimes it does work sometimes not unlike my old W205 C300e where the lane change was very well managed. on the other hand for traffic jams, it's just perfect the car does all the work. Difficult to go back after experiencing it.

As for the MyBMW app, the interface is clean, clear, and practical, especially with the digital key, I no longer use my smartphone anymore: I no longer need to carry around the key: sun:
on the other hand, I find it not as rich in functionality as the Mercedes app.
For example, it is impossible to open or close the windows and sunroof from the myBMW app, set a speed not to be exceeded (if you lend your vehicle for example), turn off the engine, and lock the car in the case of exiting a defined GeoFencing perimeter, even more, basic changing the ambient colors, unlike Mercedes. in short the MyBMW app and still very basic in my humble opinion.

Let's talk about the laser lights, the best headlight I ever experienced. I'm happy to have opted for the laser lights however I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or something I have the code S5AC High-Beam Assistant option, but it does not work can't set the high beams without dazzling other drivers. It's an EU specs vehicle so it shouldn't need coding like in the US to my understanding.

The small reception defects:
- Error message on the board asking to replace the battery, after discussion with the dealer it's normal, it happens during transport, especially since they did not recharge it on arrival, I dropped it off the same day for ceramic coating.
riding was not enough even after a few hundred km. Had to replace the battery at another dealer during my vacation.
- The extension part of the driver's seat has the leather part that comes off, it's not factory clipped correctly.
- The GPS does not launch and remains stuck on the loading page, so it is impossible to use the adaptive mode for better consumption.

Here is a list of the current mods I have done so far:

Maxton Design Kit
Tinted glass + rear window 95%
Sequential blinkers
Dashcam Front and rear FitCamX
Chrome steering wheel and windows buttons
Moded Nvidia shield usb-c (Android on stock screen and RSE)
CarPro DQ ceramic coating
XPEL PPF for door pillars and door handles.

"DRL RGB (On order)"

That's it for my experience after a few months with this X5 45e, despite the negative points mentioned above, I am fully satisfied with it, everything is there Comfort Performance & practicality, it's a Beast. For a first BMW you can hardly do better! :cheer:
