I am about to order a 2020 530e so it will come with the Live Cockpit Pro with the reversed gauges, which I'm sure it will take some getting used to.

That gauge is the one I am replacing with a tach via the Alpina display. I do lose the battery percentage gauge doing that but it still shows miles remaining. I don't personally need the rest of the phev stuff such as how intensively it is recharging when I brake.
My driving style is to do mostly all electric driving on local roads where I can't exercise the car and then drive more energetically on regular mode on higher speed and country roads. I never hypermile and I have never driven in Eco Pro either.
I work mostly from home (although my office, when I bother going in, is 20 miles away) and have a 240 volt charger in my garage so I can plug in during the day. For this combination, the 530e works nicely for me.
