I appreciate Matt taking the time to mention all the features and options that cost extra instead of pretending these fully loaded press cars offer these features at the base price. Thank you Matt!
@@article1934 I guess he's talking about Matt's videos in general. He always says about the parts that do not come as standard and how much the configuration in his hands is worth. Also he did say what comes as an extra for the ix40 in this video as well
The fact that Mat can spot out little differences such as the little stripes on the instrument cluster tells you how great Mat is at journalism on this channel.
I love how Matt reviews cars finding all the crappy stuff and making it known I can honestly say this guy is the only person I'd look for when looking for reviews on new vehicles
I was surprised at just shortlisting this rather than buying. I haven't seen Matt enjoying himself so much in a long time. Very impressive big car by BM, difficult to get the full sound affects on a phone but even still the different sound tracks were great. £117k ?? If only I had that choice !! A
The reason for the rear windows only going down so far is because of the airbags. The iX is super safe and has massive rear airbags and I’d take that instead the windows going down all the way.
The massage seats for the passenger is actually just a temporary restriction due to low production of parts. And the car is actually getting 22kw AC charging as standard as of November 😉
I didn't like electric cars till I test drived a Mercedes EQS. Now after seeing this very impressive Video about this great BMW I like electric cars even more!
That has ALWAYS been BMW's Thing. That's why i always find it funny to see People in the past few Years online go: "Oh my god! Why would BMW let such a weird/ugly design be accepted and produced?!" When in Reality, BMW always did this and everytime BMW made such huge and weird Design Changes, the Reaction was always negative by everyone, then suddenly Years later, People either started to love the Design or just got used to it and think it looks alright. My Point being: Go check old Car Magazine Reviews of new BMW Models with radically different Designs and how much bad Reactions they got, while it's cars you and me find beautiful ot at least "alright" nowadays. Don't be surprised if in 3 Years you will see People call this Car good looking
Great video, as always. Minor correction re AC charging: BMW does offer an option called "AC Professional Charging" with 22kW (as standard with the M60i)

@@chartreux1532 actually i never had problems with the look of BMW in the past, but it started with the actual 7 series continued with the 4 series and M3 and now with the iX, not even mentioning the i3 because this thing comes from from an era all electric cars looked ugly. Even now, when i see one of the mentioned models, i want to throw up 🤮
Driving a new BMW is like an online relationship She has a great personality and you both have fun together online and you imagine her to be the cutest girl you've ever seen But your view on him is completely changed when you find out he looks nothing like you imagined
Love Matt and car wow and especially, the sense of humor with this or that and that and the noises , it makes it human , so dont change that . or that or that !
It's a positively pretty car, I don't get what people have against it aesthetically. It's rather elegant in thr metal. Not overstyled at all. Very smooth
I don’t think it’s an issue that it looks exactly the same as the M Sport model, it harkens back to the M cars of old that were basically the same as the non m variant aside from the huge engine and suspension tweaks. A modern sleeper
I was tempted to by an IX this year, but I am not ready to give up the excitement of an internal combustion engine so, I got X3 M Competition. Matt Watson please do a review on it. 🤓
BMW styling just isn't it atm. I really haven't liked the look of any of them lately. Sure they will drive amazingly, and you'll probably be chufded with almost any BMW! But they are just so ugly right now lol
Man i am so sorry to say this but you are so crazy!😃So far gone! You can't be saved! 😃😃Great review as always dude! That vehicle is just absolutely mind blowing! I actually asked myself if i am ready for it? Keep up the great job you are doing,i am enjoying it.
How much does the standard iX cost after all the same optional M sport upgrades to match this iX M60? What’s the effective price difference between the two then?
@carwow it's an electric car you don't need electronic stability control since each motor or axle can be individually actuated and therefore torque and traction can be altered on the fly from algorithms in the SW. Hope that helps 😊
Saw one of these or something along the same design lines the other day riding home from the twisties. Looked shockingly bad in the real world, genuinely surprised they actually would sell something like this, looks like something a student would draw up.
We call the sound of our BEV the "choir of the dead" for the sort of slightly chilling etheral "ooohhwaaaahhhheeeeeehhhhhh" noise it makes when you floor it.......
It's got 619hp & 1,100Nm of torque... But is it worth £117,000?! 😳
SUSCRIBED 🎉🎉
It doesn't worth it

Yes it’s worth it

Philorg, i bet this BMW car is amazing.
You buying one?

That microphone hanging was actually impressive. It kept hold of a strong angle
The car looked overrated tho.
@@purwantiallan5089 Overrated? Everyone hates this design lol, I don't think I've seen anyone say anything positive about it.
@snowflakelord i have. I work with them almost every day and they are beautiful in my opinion
@@topsunnn It looks a LOT better in real life, but it's a hideous BMW. It looks cheap. Looks like an average Hyundai SUV.
I see them on the roads almost every day.
That sound it makes is amazing. It sounds totally different when you are inside the car then listening to it on TH-cam.
I love how Matt reviews cars finding all the crappy stuff and making it known I can honestly say this guy is the only person I'd look for when looking for reviews on new vehicles
Definitely feels overly positive on BMW & Audis - probably as they each give him a top of the line long termer
You should check out Autogefuhl aswell. Very in depth, very trust worthy too
The interview he had with the Mercedes guys at the EQS/EQE event was gold.
He is very biased towards German vehicles and usually awards them high scores over say Japanese cars.

8:43 Every second thumbnail on TH-cam for no reason 🤣
Watching Matt hit himself while demonstrating the throttle response, is why he’s the best motor journalist !
I bet Matt love to hit himself a bit.
Why? just because he hit his head? Well, if that’s all it takes…..
The reason for the rear windows only going down so far is because of the airbags. The iX is super safe and has massive rear airbags and I’d take that instead the windows going down all the way.
That makes sense. Thanks.

It’s never a Carwow video without a car trying to kill Matt.

That's actually very funny
So far unsuccessful.... unfortunately haha

Extra feature Matt forgot to mention is that charging flap serves as an airbrake
😂
I thought it would be good to stand behind if you stopped on the road and needed to take a piss.
@@travis8665 🤣🤣🤣
And the body colour changing feature?
That Heisenberg edit 😂 damn the editor has God tier level of editing 👏

His dad: "The car had an odometer ya know"
Or odometer in the back end.
😂😂😂

Car wow videos are the best review video imo and without Matt it'll be nothing ;)
2:19
Looks like a movie shot (the glass reflection was PERFECT)
You are not even wondering anymore if new BMW cars look weird
and the Electric ones are not the ones that look more weird & wacky. Things are soo messed up at BMW group.
@@Neojhun Bmw group messed up again Neojhun.
This one looks horrible 🤮🤮
The current 3 series, 5 series and the x5 and x3 still look good and classy
But the older 3 series looked the best

Who ever edited this video does a great job adding memes. 8:32 😂
Looks like effort has been put into the interior design, but odd that the rear passengers get to stare at two USB sockets.
The BMW SUV looked like a cool car to drive.
Es gibt eine Abdeckung 😉

Do they option that massive 8k screen or is that in the i7?

Who cares
I'm not usually a BMW type of person but this is quite impressive! One of the best cars imo bmw has made
Enjoy the videos immensely. Good work as always from Matt and the Carwow gang.
This BMW looked cool but weird at the same time.
I LOVE the expressive noise! It sounds like an anxiety building scifi/horror sound.
The expressive driving mode sounds so freaking awesome sitting inside the actual car. Can’t get the experience through that video :/
Great video, as always. Minor correction re AC charging: BMW does offer an option called "AC Professional Charging" with 22kW (as standard with the M60i)
Leave it to BMW to offer a package. The only company handling more packages per year is Amazon! 😵💫
@@richardnedbalek1968 Thanks for the comment!
Above all, it assaults my eyes 🙈

Matt is bound to crack me up, every time, guaranteed 😂
Been waiting for this review for a while now
This car is really different but it's not worth it. The price is extremely high. Thanks for reviewing.💙💙❤❤
My dad is the type of dad who would actually let you go for a joyride 😂😂
9:00 and onwards is top tier motor journalism.
Carwow: This car causes you PAIN!
Me: Pain in my eyes? Yes!
Edit: Carwow just change the title, LOL!
How about pain in my whole body?
I am test driving this car over the weekend. I was so against electric before but this is a weapon! I have never felt an acceleration like this!
i have the ix 40 with bowers wilkins! absolutely the best built in sound system in the market. Listen only to 16 and 24 bit flac files :D
i appreciate how quick it gets out of sight
The only thing that cheers me up is Mat's videos.
Impressive work, keep it up,
Yep. Matt Watson knows how to cheer everyone watching Carwow.
Absolutely underrated car! 🤷🏻♂️
It's another cool review video!
1.100 Nm Torque, that's insane. Love it!
Epic review.
The sounds from the expressive drive mode can be used for horror movies
Its not matt but ive never been more bored with a car buying presented like this one.
Driving a new BMW is like an online relationship
She has a great personality and you both have fun together online and you imagine her to be the cutest girl you've ever seen
But your view on him is completely changed when you find out he looks nothing like you imagined
damn 😅
Yeah but in the BMW sense: the sex is the best sex you'd ever had despite him looking ugly haha, and he gives massages
Love Matt and car wow and especially, the sense of humor with this or that and that and the noises , it makes it human , so dont change that . or that or that !
The looks of this model has grown on me. It's just a different BMW SUV from the future. Looks better than dreary normal combustion SUVs from BWM imo.
Yup it's settled this is the best car review channel on TH-cam
Instead of a single sound effect we get with internal combustion engine cars, this interesting vehicle delivers multiple tunes 🎵👌
Joshua doesn't pack a mighty punch though, because he never throws it.
The design has definitely grown on me
It's a positively pretty car, I don't get what people have against it aesthetically. It's rather elegant in thr metal. Not overstyled at all. Very smooth
Grown like a tumor. It's hideous.
This is one car that pictures don't do it justice. In real life it is a very stunning car
Do you like pigs?
This car looks so amazing on grey 🔥
I don't like the new dmw design language but I respect the boldness.
Matt, nvm your "assault' am impressed with that interior design 👌
Car journalism just reached new heights with that "that"! :D
I don’t think it’s an issue that it looks exactly the same as the M Sport model, it harkens back to the M cars of old that were basically the same as the non m variant aside from the huge engine and suspension tweaks. A modern sleeper
RIP BMW..you were once a maker of elegant amd classy cars
That rear passenger window is a deal breaker. I don't always roll down my windows. But when I do, I prefer them all the way down. (XX 😉)
That's the deal breaker?..
Who rides in the rear of their own car?
Mats laugh just sounds contagious 😆 🤣 😂.
10:10 - 10:24
Matt you should have used the G meter when accelerating. My iX40 has one so I would expect the M would too.
Your sarcasm cracks me up! The screen cluster on this vehicle looks like an afterthought so horrible
I was tempted to by an IX this year, but I am not ready to give up the excitement of an internal combustion engine so, I got X3 M Competition. Matt Watson please do a review on it. 🤓
u picked the wrong car...
Right choice
@@georgedowns4034 he picked the right one. Those things are fast as hell with a couple mods
@@georgedowns4034 pick Mercedes SLK AMG.
@@sharansandhu7158 nope.
The video saved me a lot. Decided to buy just horses separately. BTW the design is better too.
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
Video comes out 14 mins you comment in 12… something doesn’t add up lol
@@jordanw9815 It's probably a bot bought by carwow, like the ones used on twitter by certain celebs to boost their numbers and the algorithm

You had me at "that" 😂
Very entertaining and informative. Not ready to buy a full EV yet. It's tough to give up my 550mi range that my current X5 plug-in hybrid provides.
Thanks!
Great review as always Matt, just would have love to know the price in total of a similar spec ix40 m-sport unless BMW charge you extra to reveal😅
11:25 It's awfully awkward, but this is how I impress my friends 😂😅

240i looks pretty good
What about the new X1?
@@willspeakman2461 last 240i looked better, is like bmw can only draw straight lines now, they forgot how to draw circles
I love the new 4 series but this is horrible
I drove it today coming from a x5M fully modified it's a big difference.
Not the best looking car to be honest but what a punch, poor anthony😂
Saw and drove one irl well i gotta say it look better in person than videos imo
Making it look like the slower version is a very good decision.
That looks way more fun than an ICE SUV. Love the sounds. Totally Disagree with matts ICE comment at the end.
The interior is one of the best i seen from bmw.. Wish i could say the same about the exterior
2:45 just that! 😂😂😂😂😂
iX M60 vs M1000RR on an off-road drag race please
No. What about Ducati Desmo GP14 vs C4 WRC vs Celica ST205?

No one, absolutely no one :

How much does the standard iX cost after all the same optional M sport upgrades to match this iX M60? What’s the effective price difference between the two then?
M Sport variant is far better tho.
The M-Sport Edition has most of the interior spec for about £80k. It'll be slower though, oh, it also has a smaller battery.
You pay more to be uglier 😂
This Oxid Grey in real life is such a winner.
@carwow it's an electric car you don't need electronic stability control since each motor or axle can be individually actuated and therefore torque and traction can be altered on the fly from algorithms in the SW. Hope that helps 😊
Good video Matt. Minivan on steroids
Mat can you drag race a Tesla Model S Plaid against a Lucid Air with The Stig?
Plaid all broke now so?
Every video you ask this.. no
Kudos for the seamless jump-cut @8:31
