Got the 20" standards on now with Alpine 5 from dealer. Actually look a bit better than I expected, and I'm glad snow and mud will have minimal access to interior wheel housing. Price sucks though. Got to take a peak at power usage metrics for 20's with snows vs 21s with summers at some point...
X5 40i feels ponderous now when I switch back and forth. Still trying to mind meld with new Porshe logic for software controls after 5 Beemers, but it's getting easier the more miles I rack up.
My X5 2020, which is a pretty mature product, still has the occasional software problem. Done 2 resets over the last 4 years. As a former CTO/CIO I feel I can safely say after 40 years in tech I have never seen software app(s) other than simple ones, that were bug free. The reasons for this are...
@Diego Eng=control freak. : )
One thing I've noticed about dealer service with this vehicle is the inclination for them to reach for a "full reset" when encountering issues. Not all my preferred settings came back after I dealt with getting the plug and charge working the other day at the...

Just giving the reported Kwh per mile on our 214 mile trip. Today was a bit better, bumping up to 3.4 Kwh per mile around town. Average to good for a modern ev. Just getting it broken in so long term trends not evident to me yet.
@stevieg They reset everything and did an update that Porsche said would fix it. It did not do the trick and screwed up a lot of my settings. The final solution after that was to turn compatability mode in 'gear settings' under 'charging' on and then off. It then allowed me to enable plug and...
