Now I think a winning combination would be 545e, but instead a detuned B58, use the same B58 that makes 382hp (or 370 something in europe with particular filter), though that would definitely eat into M550

Is it? From my understanding both use a 48V crankshaft mounted integrated starter generator. The one in the Merc seems to be a bit more powerful (22PS vs 11PS), but it's the same technique. At least that's what I thought...
545e is the perfect car. I have that combination in my X5 and if they will keep the same 90km electric range in the G30 that would be banger. But the 530e has only 65km range, so I guess they will fit that battery the 545e as well. I hope I can order the 545e early enough to get it, once I have to return my X5 in October. Otherwise I have to wait until August next year (I'm able to do 10 month leases).
