This is a fun,very informative video. Learned a bunch while enjoying Steve’s enthusiasm for it. My wife and I really like its looks, inside and out, though understand while some will need more time, especially walking around the car to perhaps get over their initial non-enthusiasm for its front . What an accomplished SUV, being practical, fun to drive and having such a great interior. Too bad its price will leave some not being able to get theirs.
How would you compare the iX M60 versus the X7 M60i? I know they are very different cars, but what would you choose if it was your money? I would love to know your thoughts as I am about to order one of the two. Thanks!
Steve, Debbie Gibson's Out of the Blue - man we're old! Too funny that's what showed up on sat radio. Great overview as always. To your point, iXM is for the wealthy. I think it's terribly disfigured - it reminds me of an 80's Alfa Milano's rear end - that car appeared as though the designer's pen slipped when designing the car, and the same impression is left with this BMW. But BMW doesn't make beautiful cars anymore, so I guess fast and fun is a good boobie prize.
This is TERRIBLE. 8 shortcuts are gone. Climate control buttons are gone. Heated seats and ventilated seat buttons are gone and are now in iDrive. WILL NOT BUY A BMW again until this crap is fixed!!! I get it's a simplification and cost cutting measure on their end. But if I'm paying BMW prices they can afford to put some FREAKING BUTTONS in there -- sorry. I'm not navigating through a UI menu structure every time I want to adjust simple things. Furthermore, that's not even safe. People need to be watching THE ROAD -- not the screen. They just removed one of their greatest competitive advantages. I might as well broaden my search quite a bit if they are going to get on the idiotic buttonless bandwagon fashion trend.
I’m sorry, I would have to say this is the worst looking BMW on sale (which is really saying something), and one of the worst looking cars on sale right now. It looks bulbous, and the interior reminds me of a minivan. I’m sure it’s fast, but most EVs are. I couldn’t imagine picking this over a rivian. And if I only cared about driving dynamics, I couldn’t imagine picking an SUV
IX I bought BMW IX in October, drove 3 weeks, couple defects happened. BMW told me it’s dangerous to drive again and hold my car for almost two months to fixed. The driving assistant system could kill me if it fails when I use the cruise mode. BMW just suggest me don’t use the cruise mode which I have paid. Garbage products control and customer service, very regret buying BMW. 九世 我在10月份买了宝马IX，只开了3个星期，汽车就显示多系统故障，宝马告诉我，这台车已经不再安全了，并把我的车留下修理了近两个月。现在当我使用巡航模式时，如果驾驶助理系统再次出现故障，可能会遭遇生命安全。宝马只是建议我不要使用巡航模式。可是这是我付了钱的。 垃圾产品控制和客户服务，非常后悔购买宝马。
Can't believe the adaptive cruise gap control is buried in a menu. Am I the only one that changes following distances to match conditions?
I've never seen 21" wheels/tyres with that big of a sidewall! LOL Front end aside, BMW did a great job with this beast.

Glad it was helpful!

What a beautiful SUV 😍🔥
Wow that grill is fugly
Does it have rear wheel steering, suppose to be standard?
The front grill looks like a cartoon squirrel with big teeth.
Bmw IX The Best !!!
Coast to coast- nice reference-
Art Bell says hello-
Ha!!! Good one.
3:20 brake creak on a new car ?
what happened to the front grille?
It's now a Pig Snout..
I saw one in Knoxville on interstate it was this color and i actually liked it more in person. Its growing on me ill say
I agree. In-person it's really striking.

Maybe BMW can allow owners to program their own!
Great review! Sweet ride! I'll bet that acceleration gets your adrenaline pumping!
It's something to be experienced!
They sure make a great looking car!
Me gusta bmw para,wendy

Old and proud! Saw her in concert back in the day and she's still going strong!
And I thought the Lexus spindle grill was the ugliest...
Lexus is the ugliest. The rest of the Lexus sucks at least the BMW Handles and accelerates much better than any Lexus outside a LFA
Impressive vehicle! I hope it can tow…

Well said
Use the damn voice control and quit the whining

Still not appropriate for Canadian winters.

Free charging…of course- once you try charging with EA’s pathetic system and lack of network, they have to give it away…
