Couple other things from the test drive.
Once the B58 is running the engine sounds from the ASD are more prominent than the 540i. They make it sound like a V8. Not sure if that’s adjustable or simply on/off.
When I told the CA of my reluctance to get a hybrid due to complexity vs just the ICE 540i he mentioned all the PHEVs have 8 year 80k mile warranty on the hybrid system where the bumper to bumper warranty ends at 4/50. This isn’t marketed very well as I was totally unaware of it.
