X5 40e was nice , good initial acceleration, it feels strong but passing at highway speeds not as impressive. You can really feel the added weight driving corners and clover leafs. It felt tail heavy The ride was comfortable, the air suspension in the rear contributed to a relaxed feeling. Gas mileage was great, driving very carefully I got in upper 30's. I think for gas mileage the diesel is better and had better range. The Electric only range was only about 12 miles, only enough to get me half way to work.
