Ok so had my X3MC since feb love the thing, ticks all the boxes with a large family and crap roads, suspensions got better over time, once i nailed Tyre pressure etc., i even managed 37MPG to Inverness from Leeds which shocked me...On the way back i was low twenties as i tickled it smile

Anyway saw new LCI model decided i liked the new Blue from the X5M and then new wheels look the dogs, so i made the call, well surprised at negative equity it had held its price well, so the dealers looking at the swap as we speak....

HOWEVER, i never contemplated warming to Electric, i was kinda worried about anxiety around charging on journeys etc , but if i honestly take a look at where i go, its only really a few times a year id blow its range.

So after specking up an I4 M50 its actually same as swapping........... What would you do ?
Support on X3MC from BMW is massive at moment an extra 6k with normal discounts im currently sat at 18k off but their sharpening their pencils. I did say id never buy electric till range went past 400, but im starting to think again....I dont want Tesla as a couple of my managers have them and yes their quick but bits are falling off them, which worries me. Boot Liners loose amongst other things.

Steer me smile

I4 would not really be able to "deal with crap roads" if it is a matter of ground clearance, and two rather different car types.

However, if you can accept the real world range (think 513 km is quoted, so probably 350 km realistically), and you want a change, why not?

i responded to the other thread, I also have an x3m comp got it in March and love it. i would be interested to know if you are doing a straight swap due to equity in your current x3m? or you doing part ex plus cash on the deal? i am also tempted to go for the LCI but don't wanna put a load of cash in or have a higher monthly payment to make it happen.
