Maybe the X3 is better?

What year was the 5 series? Apparently, they are getting better. Lots of Scandinavians and Belgians have bought the new X3 (they have major tax advantages in going hybrid) and are happy with them. Many had the previous gen X5 version.
The X3 is supposed to be able to charge on a 110, and also allow fast charging on a more powerful hookup. Six hours for the 110, allegedly. A range of only about 20 miles. But that's a full run around day for me.
