Hopefully R&D leads to longer lasting batteries and more dynamic EVs. Today's LFP and Li-ion just don't cut it will calendar aging affecting them significantly more than cyclic aging when frequently charged above 50% capacity. What's the point of owning an EV when driving range has to be curtailed to prolong the battery life? |

Then, reading up more on batteries on TeslaMotorClub, I realized calendar aging effect on batteries are more pronounced than cyclic aging. This is true also for LFP batteries. That's why we can hear about some BEV owners talking about their cars hitting 200-300,000 miles on the original battery but we rarely hear about owners bragging their 12 year-old BEVs are still on their original batteries. Most battery packs probably throw a major error or two past 10 or 11 years, conveniently after the eight-year warranty period. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/thre...-cells.311793/ Yeah, and for people who cannot charge at home or at work for free, charging BEVs will be as costly as refueling with gasoline, in many cases, and also more detrimental due to higher voltage and temperature. We were considering to fall back on the ICE Macan but realized that the M Sport Differential on the M Performance BMW vehicles have the better torque vectoring. The one on the ICE Macan is brake-based but the one on the BMW is really torque vectoring. The 30i can be optioned with the Dynamic Performance Control with the M Package but it's also brake-based. So it's a no brainer for us to await for the G45 specs and once released, can also start looking at used 2022-2024 X30 M40is with a few packages/options we want. |

So just when I had finally wrapped my head around the consistency of:
M40i -> B58 i6 for 1->5er and X1->X4er M50i -> N63 v8 for 5er->8er and X5-X7er they go and make the B58 an M50i? Is there going to be an M60i next?

Will the X3M (F97) be produced longer than the G01 or do I get something wrong?
So my question is, if the F97 will be produced when there is already the G45 on the market? |

Wondering the same thing. I’m guessing
June. Anyone guessing the start of production for the X3M?

Only a guess, but if past history is consistent looking at ~ 2-1/2 years. Discussion and reasoning in the G97 X3MC thread: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2048371

I have great hopes, the ice X models are the only good looking cars left in BMW
The others are designed by tripping meth smoking mushroom eating crack heads. |

The top post wasn't exactly correct. X3 40d xDrive will be offered from 03/25. Other models are also possible in the future.
