Question re the Mild Hybrid nonsense
This might seem to some like a stupid question, but I think it is valid given that the 740i mild hybrid (MH) is doing little more than adding weight by carrying aroung the 48 volt system - and that leaves aside that the car becomes a very expensive brick when the 48v battery decides to crap out.
Has anyone looked at how to 'delete' the MH components and just return it to being a normal 740i like my 2020 G12 that doesn't actually have an MH system in it? There must be a way. Otherwise there are going to be a lot of these new 740i/750i MH vehicles sitting around dead waiting for expensive replacement batteries in 5-7 years (which on our parts list here are around $7,000). I know that in USA and AUS that straight ICE versions of vehicles are now having better resale values at the 5 year mark because people are waking up to the issue of expensive MH battery costs. |
