@kezo Further to my update posted 5 days ago, I’ve done 2 long journeys totalling 250 miles over the last 2 days. 90% motorways at a steady 70 mph, other than some speed restricted sections. MPG equivalent, once charging costs were taken into consideration, was 39.3 mpg. Rubbish. The 2.0i BMW on that sort of journey, at those steady speeds, would have been in the high 40s mpg.
It’s just as well that we couldn’t have had the person hoist fitted to the BMW and had to order a new car in order to have one, as I think I’d be regretting changing the car otherwise. On the one hand I’m regretting getting a PHEV but, on the other hand, there was nothing else on the scheme at the time that remotely appealed (still isn’t).
If it wasn’t for the fact that my wife needs a hoist now and we’ve got one fitted to this car, I think I’d be considering a termination and leaving the scheme. I could get a very nice used example of the current X5 for around £40k, even from a main BMW dealer, which would be very tempting.
