Does anyone know if BMW is going to import the 545e to the US?
The title says it all. I am planning on a BEV for my next purchase but if BMW offered me the 545e, I might stay with a hybrid and BMW.

I think it's almost a certainty that the g60 version will have hybrids all down the lineup. If the M5 is going to have a hybrid, I'm sure the 6 cylinders will also. So, give it a year.

I think BMW will bring a much fuller lineup in 2024+ with the G60.
The increased fuel economy targets from the EPA will kick in at that time and make it much more viable. https://www.wsj.com/articles/vehicle..._copyURL_share |

Agree with all of the above. Plus, improvements in battery technology could see a PHEV with 30-50 mi range. That would cover 100% of my local driving in EV mode. Best of all Worlds--a super ICE for trips and an EV for local use that didn't weigh any more than a 300 mi range full EV.
