we own both etron and ix and the driving dynamics of the ix is waaaaay better than the etron. Also the infotainment of the etron is boring and personally dont like the haptic feedback, feels slow. The seats are more comfortable in the ix, e tron feels like a car with a better design on the outside but still people are more interested in the IX. One thing i would love to see in the next gen, that the 360 camera would activate when you are in narrow spaces just like volvo and other companies do.
Good video. One small note that now that there are more computer chips worldwide, at least the M60 version of the iX has the passenger massage function. SUBSCRIBED.
I took a test drive of the xd50 last week. I concur with all of your points, based on that experience. I was also pleasantly surprised that wireless Android Auto was also supported (from my Samsung Note 20). Loved the drive!!
You should try an iX with the optional wood panel for the middle console. Big improvement over the fingerprint glossy black. The wood has a subtle texture that lets you push the controls (Nav, media, activate manual drive recording) without looking down.
Good review. One point to mention is that My IX 40 (which is not the top model) has both driver and passenger seas with massage funciton. Not sure which version you have been testing that has only driver seat with this funciton. Additionally, a mobile phone holder exactly the same size the one you showed in centre console, exist on the passenger door for passenger mobile.
I had an incident in Hermosillo, Sonora, with my BMW iX xDrive50, which unexpectedly accelerated while turning at low speed, something that has been documented as an issue by the NHTSA in the United States, though there is no regulatory body to investigate it in Mexico. I’m concerned about the safety of this technology, as there have been other serious cases reported. However, BMW Mexico does not recognize this as a technical fault and claims it was human error, despite my request to exchange the vehicle to ensure my safety. The company will review my request with the distributor but requires payment of the deductible, leaving my concern about a potential defect in the vehicle unresolved.
Thanks for the video even if I m already convinced and agreed with you. I already delete the Mercedes. I like the look of the Q8 but definitely the IX is awesome. I just tested it few days ago 🎉. Greetings from Belgium 😊
@@dwnshft 3 months! My commute is 80 miles round trip so my gas (18 mpg) is $600-$700 per month! For me it is too much and BMW iX has a $10k incentive for lease
Well I am not really a BMW fanboy, imo the Hyundai brand including Kia and Genesis is the leading EV maker today. But this BMW, a "Legacy Auto brand" shows who is the boss in this price segment. And put everything from Tesla at least two years behind.
I love how everyone's afraid to say the iX is a good looking car. I think it looks great.
me too however....the grill is iffy
I've thought all cars looked weird since the chrome bumpers went away, so I've given up on having an opinion.
Drove the iX M60 for a week and this was my first electric drive, big mistake. ICE cars dont feel the same anymore.
nice dash better than a huge I- pad glued to the dash or 2nd screen that takes up space

just press the camera icon near the gear shifter - then you can scroll through the options to get whatever view you want
@jonathongellibrand3632 volvo does it automatically, ix or audi doesn't

Just bought the ix and I love it!!! I agree about the cup holder placement; if should stick out farther than the overhang otherwise, it’s awesome!
After 12.000 KM in my iX40 I can confirm nearly everything you’ve said. Except the massage seats which comes for both seats now.

I spec’d ‘clear & bold application’ in my iX and it makes a big difference.
The wood is horrific. How old are you dude 👴🏼
Beats glossy black with a bunch of fingerprints. The same glossy black you can find on a Hyundai or Kia.

I own an Ix 50 2023, and the from passenger seat has a massage option.
Really good video. Tons on information presented quickly and interestingly . Learned a bunch. WELL DONE! Subscribed.
Thanks 🙏
quick question, i notice that if you sit in the rear you only get one usb-c per seat... Our iX has 2 usb-c's per seat
Is it true that there is a delay between pressing the accelerator pedal and the vehicle response? Thanks
Nice vehicle but the lack of sunroof is a killer
Why do ppl desire these sun roofs when what you really want is less light to come into the cabin while driving. I like it dark what can you say.
yeeep!! That is one reason I may no buy it.
@@iranazadi7 I will go with IX3 or an X5.
What do you want a sunroof for? Side windows are not enough? 🤨
I've got one, but the worst are the frameless windows. The sound when you close the car seems... cheap material.
I totally agree!! Sounds terrible..like it’s going to break.
Great vid!! Sounds like you prefer the BMW iX over the audi Q8 etron then?
I do yeah
My favorite ev in this class would be the eqe suv, then the ix, and then q8 e tron

How do you like this vs i5 M60?

I love your video Matt, I traded in my Grecale Modena for this as it is a gas guzzler
Ahh interesting! How long did you have the Grecale?

Is this Sport or Shadowline Trim? Wheels 21 or 20 inch?
Nice sunglasses, what make and model, please

It is not BMW's ground up EV, there was the i3 before.
BMW i3 is BMWs first ground up EV, not the iX
everyone hates on the looks its not bad lol
BMW fanboys gather here🤣❤🔥❤🔥

I agree, with that…the Hyundai is doing great with producing EV’s and at reasonable prices as well
Why don't you like Mercedes EQS SUV?
I’ve got a video going through it
He does like it. I just watched his video and he said "I really liked it"
👏👏👏
