Looking to purchase a used 45e as my SUV hybrid was recently totaled.

I am currently looking at a used 2022 45e with the following packages:

  • Driver Assistance Pro
  • Climate Comfort
  • Parking Assistant
  • M Sport
  • Executive
  • Harman/Kardon
  • Extended Merino Leather
  • Alcantara Headliner

The car is not CPO and currently has less than 31200 miles. This would be in California and wanted to see what you guys would think for a purchase price of 54k pretax?

OR

Is it a better deal to pay 43k (POST tax) for a 2022 45e with <30k miles that only has the following packages:

  • Driver Assistance Pro
  • Heated Rear Seats
  • Parking Assist Package

When you include tax the first one would be ~$15k more expensive.

Really a personal decision of whether leather, H/K sound, and M-Sport are worth another $15k to you.

I’m no expert on the used X5e market, but given the two choices the first one seems way overpriced, no way on earth I’d fork over an additional $15k on a used hybrid just to get a few more options.

I’d take a closer look at the battery health of both cars. The battery itself is fairly small, and if driven mostly electric, your have a much shorter range than anticipated

Are you paying cash or financing?

paying cash

good point - ill be sure to do that.

I believe the first one I can get it down to a purchase price of 53k if that helps lol

That’s not really enough of a discount considering 3/4 of the warranty is over.

I’m not sure ownership out of warranty or successive 3yr old car purchases for 2 year ownership has a better TCO than buying new and owning for longer.

The sweet spot is trading in at the 4-5 year mark. 6 years and above—not desirable as cars that can be flipped as CPOs.

I’d plan on owning the 45e for the duration of its life. Not really interested in replacing it for the foreseeable future after purchase.

However, are you suggesting it might be better to just pony up and go for a new 50e?

I believe the first one is a tad bit under market value and the second one is a fantastic deal to be honest.

To chime in, wife has a 2022 X45e with about 33k miles. Battery range is as good today as it was new. Purchased new in Aug 2022. Well we did get new tires at 30k miles but other than that - no issues to speak off. We did not get the M sport, HK or Executive.

That’s great to hear! What % of your total 33k miles was on the electric motor?

24k in electric of the 33k
So like 70%

I would not want to own this out of warranty, or without a warranty

but how common would this issue be tbh? i thought these hybrid systems were generally reliable

Also, benefit of being in CA is that plug-in hybrids have a 15 year / 150K mile warranty on emissions control systems which includes the battery unlike EVs! Search Autopian BMW i3 Rex warranty. David Tracy was able to get his battery swapped free, he goes pretty in depth about it across a few articles about the experience.

oh thats good to know, so an issue such as the electric compressor failing to cool the battery like the video above would be covered by that warranty?

Right.
