We had owned a full electric car and had problems finding charging stations that worked or that had long waits on a trip from San Francisco to Phoenix last year. Most of our “trips” are less than 50 miles. Now we don’t have to search for charging stations on long trips but can use electricity for our daily rides.

The 2024 model has greater electric power (for acceleration) and range, up to 50 miles with 100% charging (which you don't want to use all the time, ideally use 80% for 32 miles, which is still very good). It seemlessly gets assistance from the engine when faster acceleration is needed. Newest run flat tires from Pirelli are also much better than older run flat tires. It is actually easier to get the federal tax credit with this BMW than with other brands with comparable options, because you need to stay below $80,000 MSRP. Technical options are amazing. Just one shortcoming: they do not explain that interactive cruise control does not adapt to the speed of the vehicle in front of it and is just a regular cruise control. What they call adaptive cruise control is a relatively expensive option. BMW product managers made a mistake on this aspect and should have made it standard.

X5 Plug In Hybrid Road Noise Cresendo

Ordered a BMW X5 PI Hybrid after test driving a regular X5. Stay away unless you want to hear constant road noise on granular surfaces. It does have run flat tires which I'm sure contribute to the noise. BMW offers a vibration damper that helps but the dealer wants $500 to install the dampers. Very disappointing for a vehicle that cost 80k.
Not worth it!

Unfortunately, I traded my 2023 X5 40i for this thinking I was “upgrading”…..the new dash/screen has the worst placement and it’s extremely awkward and low. The lighted logo and symbols along the passenger side dash is beyond tacky. But the worst thing about this vehicle is the performance! You can only go 50 miles on electric/hybrid, it lacks power and doesn’t accelerate like my 2023 X5 40i, the ride is rougher and the handling is way worse! While in sport mode I literally drove 32 miles and lost 97 miles worth of gas. Also, while in sport mode, the ride is extremely rough, noisy, and not pleasant! My old X5 (which I’m trying everything to get back) had the most powerful, smoothest, luxurious ride you could ever ask for even in sport mode. I’m so disappointed and can’t wait to get out of this vehicle!!!

We have only had this vehicle for a few days, but so far we absolutely love it!
