I did find it interesting in the review that Harry did 812 of his 1500 total miles in full electric mode. That is decent.
This x5 seems to be a quantum leap from the previous gen BMW plug in hybrids. It is a really good package size, and the price is only about $10k - $12k more than a comparably optioned x3 m40 as I built it. Thats before tax credits and any other cost of ownership related savings.

It would be great if one could rent it for a month, and see how it really lives before committing.
