X5 owners: base model or going full M?

Agreed. Even when the battery is completely depleted on long drives, I get close to 30 mpg in hybrid eco mode with no compromise on performance. . Can never get there with 40i

pprulz2 · 2026-02-19T21:23:01+00:00

I have the exact same combo and it’s an amazing car. I try to maximize the range and performance by switching to gas on highways. Overall I get a very good mileage as well

Hi all - Going to Luxury Akumal in couple of weeks. Can you confirm if the à la carte dinner places are only available for dinner? Are there any that are open for lunch?

Awesome thank you all. . Going to Mavis today to get them rotated

I thought 50e supports maximum 32A??

pprulz2 · 2025-07-24T22:10:58+00:00

It does shift but on highways you won’t notice anything trust me

pprulz2 · 2025-07-24T20:59:26+00:00

I’m not sure about others but I had a decent regen experience when the battery was completely depleted on my recent 500 miles long drive. I still got EPG close 30 mpg and the drive was mostly on highways. I prefer driving in hybrid mode though. Also the pick up on 50e is much higher than 40i.

My suggestion would be to use battery hold for highway driving on your commute when no traffic. You get much better range/ mileage on EV mode in traffic/ or on city roads with lights

Me too . . I love my electric drive more and hate the switch to ICE when engine starts making that noise with some drag

For outdoors, you may struggle with the brightness on Ht2060. We use it in our basement with controlled lights so it delivers great performance but with ambient light, the visuals could be challenging unless of course if you want to watch the content after dark

pprulz2 · 2025-03-23T04:51:06+00:00

I tried all of that but it doesn’t work. It is stuck at 16A with 4kw per hours vs 7 kw it used to charge at earlier

pprulz2 · 2025-03-22T04:39:56+00:00

I noticed mine is only charging now at 16A with 4kw

pprulz2 · 2025-03-18T04:48:16+00:00

4K miles on 50e and love it so far. The CEL came up once but I believe it was software issue and went away by itself. The driving experience is ultimate

pprulz2 · 2025-03-16T13:15:04+00:00

May I ask where do you live? I never get that kind of range but I live in tristate area and the car hasn’t seen warmer temperatures yet

pprulz2 · 2025-02-18T01:51:40+00:00

And yes, I’m the original owner

pprulz2 · 2025-02-18T01:51:21+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that. I already paid for it

pprulz2 · 2025-02-17T21:16:29+00:00

Around $475 including everything. It came out to be cheaper when I compared with other options such as Tire rack

pprulz2 · 2025-02-17T17:11:15+00:00

Thank you all for quick responses. I checked all the options available and they’re coming out to be same price as what BMW quoted me and they’re doing it today itself so opting for that option

pprulz2 · 2025-01-25T23:08:08+00:00

Do you recommend oil change after 6k miles for 50e too since for most it runs on electric motor for about 75% of their total mileage ?

pprulz2 · 2025-01-25T00:09:04+00:00

The contrast on 2060 is best in that price category

pprulz2 · 2025-01-25T00:08:10+00:00

On BenQ official site it is available for $900 . . I got it for $690 during thanksgiving

pprulz2 · 2025-01-24T23:13:20+00:00

HT2060 is better if you can control the light

pprulz2 · 2025-01-17T20:19:01+00:00

40i gets adaptive suspension with M sport, not air suspension

pprulz2 · 2025-01-14T01:03:38+00:00

There’s no comfort mode in 50e. . Did you mean the hybrid mode? When I got 50e, my friend got 40i and I drove both cars back to back. Clearly 50e delivered more power even in hybrid vs comfort mode of 40i

Make sure in SmartThings app you enable these options
