Question on brake energy regeneration on X6

[rainman50]

I was reading the 2011 X6 option list and saw this was standard (Brake energy regeneration). Upon braking it recharges the battery.

Can this be disabled?

The reason I ask is that on a review of the BMW 5GT this was given as a negative since it seems like when braking it results in a "jerky ride" as they put it.

Does anyone notice this on the X6?

Thanks,

Dave

I have had my X6 for a little over a week, I don't feel any jerkiness. I doubt you can turn the brake regeneration off. How would the battery charge? I think the X6 does not have an alternator due to this brake regeneration.

There is no jerkiness when braking

Ignore reviews, they have to find fault. go for a test drive, zero jerkiness.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still trying to find a V8 to test drive. I think a "M" would be tough to find.
