That said, I am not optimistic about U06 or any other next generation sub-3 BMW at this point. I recall reading that the relationship with Great Wall is in peril due to disagreement about EV packaging and other technical considerations. And even if it were perfect, I am skeptical about the prospects for dynamically convincing EVs on legacy FWD architectures - it seems like the wrong answer to me. Volvo is debuting that type of setup in the Polestar 2 on CMA, so we'll see very soon how that turns out compared to the dedicated platform approach. |

Assuming you are in the US as the information in your profile suggests, you will not be able to get an X1 PHEV. It has been canceled for the North American market.

I'm looking for a replacement for my 2017 330e in June and the probable price point of the X1 PHEV would be very attractive. I saw from one of your posts that you had to go looking for this info, as it hadn't been part of a press release. I think I saw that the X1 was BMW's second-best SUV seller (to the X3) in the USA. One wonders if shipping of these lower-price vehicles from Europe eats into the margin too much. Hence the move of 3 production to Mexico. Are there reports of moving X1 production to Mexico? Also, will the upcoming 330e be produced in Europe, or Mexico? If Mexico, it would require shipping of the battery modules from S Carolina or Europe, I suspect. |

We europeans love the touring versions and the lack of a PHEV 5 series touring was really shame. Do you have any info about release dates? Regards |

The choice between keeping my current 520d G31 or switching to a 520e G31 when my current lease expires in summer will be hard. |

I'm not sure if in your country there are tax benefits to going below 2.0 but I know in lots of Europe there is so perhaps this is to meet specific regulations?

I would assume it's the B38. The 20 designation usually indicates ~190 hp so maybe it'll be something like 100-110 hp petrol plus 80-90 hp electric. Which sound low for a heavy car like the 5 series...
