BMW X5 Hybrid (F15) edrive40x

[amw111]

Hi all,

I was trying to find information on upgrading the range of the f15 hybrid (BMW X5 edrive40x) - I couldn't really find anything useful.

Has anybody successfully extended the range? By replacing the battery, software upgrades, or other?

Would be great to hear your experience even if it failed (so I don't go down the same road).

Thank you!

As a new member and new owner of 2018 X5 40e I am also very interested to hear other members experiences.

Thanks all.

Yea some have talked about it as the battery packs are the same footprint as the other much larger amp hour batteries.

I mean it seems plausible that you could take a 120 amp hour battery and place it in the back as their the same size but a little heavier.

But not sure what programming would need to take place.

It be a great mod if doable.

Theirs lots of used battery packs from salvaged cars now on the web.

So it could be done for a reasonable price now.

Problem is the 40e is so rare and not many where sold that I don't see it happening unless someone who knows how to work this tech do a little experimentation . But anything is possible so who knows.
