request a telematics report via the CarData tab on your MyBMW account and look under "energy content of the high voltage battery". i believe the pre LCI usable capacity is 9.8kWh. no doubt your battery has degraded but by how much? report back

4 Mile Range after charge
I took it to the Westlake Ohio BMW dealership and they stated that I have a bad cell #5. Cost to replace is over $6,000. They recommended that I replace all cells and that would cost over $13,000.
They stated that this is not under warranty as it expired under the new car warranty which was 4 years or 48,000 miles. This dealership has no knowledge of an 8 year/80,000 mile warranty for the high voltage battery. I would not recommend that anyone purchase a BMW hybrid vehicle. Ever.

My car is done at just 44,000 miles. Whatever advantage fuel wise that I enjoyed is gone.
The BMW Dealership in Westlake Ohio, nor BMW North America wanted to honor the 8/80 High Voltage Lithium Ion Battery warranty. I'm basically hosed with and am actively looking to trade my 2018 530e in for anything other that a BMW Hybrid. At this pont I'd take a Pinto. What could possibly be worse than a 530e. Good luck to you all. I will post this to absolutely every forum that has hybrid vehicles discussions. |

No reason provided, they discussed the issue internally and stated that I am not covered by this warranty. Now I need to find every hybrid vehicle forum in existence and let them know what they can expect from a BMW hybrid.
One of my friends is a BMW Master Mechanic, and he told me to stay away from BMW hybrid vehicles. He plans to buy a Toyota Sienna LOL! |

Have you considered a 2nd hand replacement? Appointed that's still a risk of sorts.before I purchased my 530e I made sure to know how much replacements were being sold at.
