Newbie here, figured I'd say hello and add my xDrive40e experiences to the thread. I bought mine used in 2020 and it's been my (almost) daily driver since, with a few long road trips as well.
For most of my daily driving around town, it's short trips and all battery. I rarely use gas. I really prefer driving electric because it's essentially silent, and the pedal response is just different/better compared to gas IMHO. Instant, silent torque is nice!
If I had to regularly make long trips or a long commute I'd want something with more range. Of course vehicles like that already exist although everything is a tradeoff between cost, luxury, size, etc.
I do wish it could start up in Max eDrive mode by default. Many times I have forgotten to switch that, and notice the ICE switching on a few blocks later... 30 seconds before I arrive at my destination...
