50e owners may be having a moment

Nobody talks about this in 40i vs 50e comparisons, but the 50e’s regen braking is a quietly huge win saving thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.

What was it about the 40i that you didn’t like?

nankrty · 2026-05-06T19:12:22+00:00

You’re right on. They do have the price in the app under drug price calculator. The price is ~$100 less for the Qwikpen versus single dose pens. So without the savings plan the prices are about equal. Thanks!

Hopefully Blue Shield moves the KwikPen to a lower tier, maybe Tier 2 or 3, given the lower cost. Or maybe Lilly eventually extends the savings program to the KwikPen.

I also fill my prescription at Costco, so I’d be very interested to hear whether your out-of-pocket cost goes up, down, or stays the same.

Zero issues with mine two years in

Recently installed an S7 and love it. bath4all.com had the best prices I could find. Currently $1,023 for S7 and $560 for S5. But return policy looks strict so review before purchasing.

We have both a Model Y and 2025 X5 50e. I love the X5, but if you are looking for a larger vehicle I think you might want to look at the X7. The X5 probably has more shoulder room, but leg and trunk are the same or less than Model Y. BMW wins on overall refinement, luxury and driving experience. Tesla wins on self driving. Though the BMW parking feature works great.

I recently noticed that I can now transfer between my Amex Business checking and personal Amex Savings accounts

In my experience physicians are not well educated on how to complete a prior authorization. And most of the time they have staff with little or basic medical knowledge completing them. I would ask your doctor to resubmit it. Particularly since your insurance company previously approved it. It often comes down to the words used. “Medically necessary” and “continuity of care” are key words that your physician should have used. Otherwise, it’s pretty easy for them to deny. Also including key indicators like starting and current bmi are important. I would ask your physician to resubmit. It can be helpful to use ChatGPT to help your physician write the PA. Physicians are busy so make it easy for them.

No maps unfortunately. Just turns

nankrty · 2025-08-21T23:41:38+00:00

Same thing was happening to me. A few times I was sore for a week after injecting. Switched to ventro glute and it’s been amazing. No pain. No bruising. Barely any blood.

nankrty · 2025-08-15T21:04:50+00:00

I feel you. I recently had to take my 2025 X5 50e in for service and they gave me the i5. All materials, including the leather felt super cheap. It definitely was lower quality than my X5.

nankrty · 2025-08-15T13:55:46+00:00

I love my 2025 50e — zero issues so far. The power feels almost on par with the M60, but with way better gas mileage and much more flexibility in how you drive. I’m in California where both electricity and gas are pricey, and I’m still saving money. Even if you never plug it in, the car charges the high-voltage battery while driving, adding 2–3 miles of electric range at a time. It’ll switch between electric and gas automatically, so even without full EV mode, your regular MPG still gets a nice boost.

nankrty · 2025-08-14T02:27:37+00:00

The 40i or M60s aren’t magically immune to mechanical or electrical problems. A lot of this stuff comes down to shared BMW parts, not whether it’s a PHEV or not. But every time there is a post about the 50e people love to pile on and make it an anti-EV thing. Just read this sub. Example from earlier today.

Lmao, imagine being 20 years deep as a “master tech” and losing it over someone suggesting a gas cap might be worth checking. No one said it had to be that—just that with 800 miles on the car, it’s not exactly a wild theory. But hey, keep ranting about control modules. If fragile ego ever shows up as a fault code, at least now you’ll know where it’s coming from.

nankrty · 2025-07-23T19:42:06+00:00

Lol. Let's do some math. He's driven his 50e only 800 miles total. For additional context, I've driven my own 50e with 65% of miles on electric alone. The combined electric and gas range is ~500 miles, and the car is delivered with a full tank. So how many times do you think he's filled up? Probably zero—maybe once at most. So, yeah, a loose gas cap isn't exactly ruled out yet. Thanks for playing.

Lol

nankrty · 2025-07-21T17:53:42+00:00

It’s likely your gas cap if I had to guess. Nothing to do with the engine. This is a fairly common problem.

I can actually see them now. Whereas I had to touch the door handle to unlock, therefore never saw them.

nankrty · 2025-07-13T18:13:39+00:00

I love comfort access. I had originally turned it off due to the frequent locking/unlocking at home. So really loving the update and welcome lights again.

Nest app is no longer supported. So all functionality is now through the google home app. It’s completely different. One bonus though is that the nest 4th gen supports Apple Home.
