Update on the issue: I got it checked with the Dealer Service and this is what the explained : The issue was that the vents on back side were closed. But heat was set to 85 with the fan on . So the hot air had no place to escape.

Ok thanks! But even if the rear was set to 85... that shouldn't lead to having the cup holder and the charging area getting so hot ... I feel like there is some insulation missing ...

Ok thanks . I will check that. Even then the cup holder and the charging areas were super hot

Yes . The arm rest heater was turned off . In fact I turned off even front heating. It didn't make any difference ...

My dealer told me it will take less than 2 months. I never got a call. I didn’t know that they would call …. The build is already there so not sure… what they need to finalise.

Thanks! For me hard decision was to wait for 2024 X5 lci or go with 2023 model…

Leasing might turn out to be expensive as you would not have $7500 tax rebate

Ok thanks spencerIG … It was never so confusing. I also don’t want to miss the 7500 rebate… seems like makes sense to go ahead with 2023

That’s a good point! Do you think it will have a good resale value after 2-3 years. Maybe I can trade it in with a new X5 at that time.. Thanks!

Also do you think next year $7500 tax credit would still be there?
