Indeed, confirmed by dealer:

45e support only 2.2kW (mode 2) and 3.7 kW (mode 3), both 1 phase.

My ordered X5 45e is in production (status 155). Expected to be at the dealer in week 40. 6 weeks transport from US to Europe included.

I recieved the VIN already from my dealer. But was not able to add it to my BMW account. I don’t know when this will be possible.

I'm waiting on the hybrid also here in the US to replace my 2015 35d. What's the price difference on the 45e compared to the 40i?

Price for 45e starts at 67.000 euro excl VAT.
The 40i starts at 59.000 euro excl VAT.

The 45e comes with 19 inch wheels and air suspension as standard.


You can configure it yourself at any European BMW site.

45e on it’s way to europe. Expected at dealer in week 41.

Internet rumors have the X6 getting the hybrid too.

Another one ordered here in Belgium in June, with delivery week 51. We actually asked a later date because the current lease finishes in February, but I don’t know if we could leave it iat the dealer for a month

Question: the VIM is only created when production starts? With that you can check the progress, right? I read somthing about an order number you can use to track starting when the order is created.

Fun fact: Belgium was the first country in the world where the 45e could be ordered due to the tax regulations. In May there were already 800 ordered! And that for a country with as much people as a big city

Do you have sources? I asked it several times at the dealer and BMW Belgium. They say there will never be a plugin hybrid of the X6 or any coup model.

You do realize that we'll need to have a meet-up when you've received the car, right?

My dealer gave me the updates. I received the VIN when production was started. As soon the car was ready the VIN was found by the connected drive app.

Sounds as a great idea!

Looking to possibly replace my wife's Q5 in a year or so and the X5 45e is quite intriguing. Anyone know what the towing capacity is or will be?

[W0ut]

Expected delivery week 46. 2nd week of November. Still trying to figure out my production date. Configuration confirmed and can't change it any more.

Hoping to receive it a few weeks earlier. :-)

Confirmed towing capacity for the european factory tow hitch: 2700kg
Non-factory hitch would be 1750 kg (not 100% sure)

[FilipVDA]

My 45e is already on transport since last week.
Estimated arrival at dealership is last week of September :-)

Will be one of the first delivered in Belgium.

[Heavyd]

Last week my dealer in Antwerp said they expect the first 45e's for customers in December. The first 45e for test drives at BMW Belux driving center in October, November.

When will orders begin in the USA?

Every dealership seems to communicate different dates. I have seen several posts of Swiss, Swedish and Belgian members with deliveries first week of October.

Ordered mine 15 February 2019. Expected delivery is week of 11th November 2019. Dealership claims mine will be the 2nd X5 45e they deliver.

A colleague ordered one at the end of June (same dealership as me) . His expected delivery date is the first week of January 2020.

In Belgium there is a website bethefirst.be. On that site you can reserve a production slot before the actual release of a new bmw model. That is what I did, before submitting the actual order. The actual order I confirmed end of january, the car will be delivered week 41 at the dealer.

No. Sorry that is why it is a rumor. They did make a hybrid X6 in 2011. I don't think it is out of the question even though I think the market is for more sport in the X6. The market is strange for X6 so I don't put anything past BMW. I also expect dealers to know nothing about future cars and dismiss anything that would keep you from buying today.
