Ordering a 2021 BMW X5 Xdrive45e plug-in hybrid to enjoy while wating for Rivian to be deep into reservation deliveries. I reserved mine only a couple months ago putting me a bit past 30,000 reservations if I'm interpreting the data right. I know that Rivian is "for real" and these amazing truck and SUV will be seen on the road sometime next year. Realistically, I don't expect to be near a production queue until 2023 sometime, if things go well.
Researched options and I feel this all-new for 2021 BMW X5 plug-in hybrid represents the present state-of-the-art when you're not wanting a full, all-electric EV. Pairs BMW's venerable, buttery smooth 3.0-liter straight 6 engine with electric motor packaged into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. Glad to say it's assembled in USA (Spartanburg, South Carolina).
My selection is $73,350 MSRP with full leather (coffee brown) interior, driving and parking "professional assistance" packages, tow hitch and few other goodies.
Interested in this educated forum community's thoughts.
