Engadget Review
The BMW 745e takes BMW’s top-of-the-line tech and fuses it in a truly luxury package that’s quick. It’s traffic-jam system is outstanding and CarPlay issues seemed to have been solved. Sadly, the electric-only range feels subpar and makes you wonder if you’re paying too much.
I just wish it had more electric range.

Pros
- Quick off the line
- Nearly all of BMW’s tech finds a fancy home
Cons

It’s still a good pick, but a bit more electric-only range would be appreciated, as it's EPA-rated at just 16 miles of plug-in range.MotorWeek802020 BMW 745e reviewSo, where does the 2020 BMW 745e xDrive iPerformance fit in?
