Trade 23 45e for Model X LR?

sarugby4life · 09-09-2023, 05:55 PM

We have a 2023 45e, along with a 22 X5M. First BMWs for us, but we were a Tesla family previously. I will not be parting with my F95 anytime soon, but the massive price reductions on the MX have me tempted to go back to one pure EV. Any folks on this forum thinking the same?

I am not a fan of the iX so would not go for one. The 45e is an incredible car, but having the longer EV range and access to charging network is pretty great. MX is not the same quality as the X5, but there are pros and cons to both setups.

I gave it some thought as well. The interior quality and overall reliability are factors that weigh in favor of the bmw for me and my use scenario. I do think that it might be a unique time where the value of the 45e is relatively highly and the X purchase price is low.

We are paying around 11 cents total per kw here in FL. I know people who live in CA that pay 5 or 6 times that rate. Is there really any advantage to an EV in such an abusive electric environment?
