BMW iX review - should you bother?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is the all-new BMW iX - BMW’s first purpose-built, all-electric SUV! I am testing the BMW iX40 model which produces 326 hp and 630 Nm of torque. The iX is a big, spacious and a very premium BMW model, but it is also heavy and rather expensive. Does it have what it takes to compete with the likes of Tesla Model X or Audi e-tron? Well, it’s time to find out!

What do you think - this vs Tesla Model X or Audi e-tron?
Not a pretty car for sure audi e tron is the best in terms of exterior design
No go. It’s an ugly monster. I just looked at one at a BMW dealer. Are you sure about the infotainment system? iDrive 8 has got massive critics - they seem to have screwed up their old system and even AC adjustments need some playing around.
Audi E-tron GT. 👍
KIA EV6 GT, wait till you try it, new reference!
@@cliffburtonnkardesiyim3725 Fair enough!
I think you have missed the door opening button to the side of the seat adjuster on the door. What you were fumbling to reach is the emergency door release if the electrics fail.
Another fabulous video 👍👍👍👍🥂🥰🎉🎉🎉
A fluffy and heavenly rest of the weekend to you also, Anna!! ☁☁☁🌤🌤🌤
I’m surprised you don’t have million subscribers your amazing 🔥maybe one day keep uploading plus have Instagram aswell
Thank you very much Robert, much appreciated!
@@AnnaOnRoads You are so beautiful and sexy driving nice cars 🔥
A class act. Thankyou, an enjoyable video, please keep the reviews coming.
Yikes, a lot of anti SUV comments today.
For me, I really enjoy a nice practical SUV.
I drive a 2021 Chevrolet Blazer.
This EV is not my cup of tea but you have to admire the technology put into it.
Nice thorough review as usual Anna.
Thank You
"They tell us what to do, tell as what to think" is so true. I would have liked to have chosen an EV, not be coerced thru laws and regulations.
Beautiful video Anna!
I enjoying see your review. Keep it up one day you will get millions and millions of views and subs.
Thank you very much Korean Boy!
Thank you Anna great review on my favorite brand 👌👍
This looks excellent Anna
The iX40 doesn’t have launch control, only the iX M60 has launch control. Other reviewers have gone sub 6 seconds to 100kph.
It’s always a great pleasure to watch Ana doing a review of ANY cars or vehicles... 🇺🇸🥳🍷done very tastefully!
Thanks Anna for your impressions of this BMW. I'm hoping and eagerly looking forward to your review of the Corvette C8. Not an especially PC and green car compared to many of today's polite but soulless vehicles. Although I know what I'd rather have in the garage.
so elegant with green jacker and red leather gloves-match a lot.
Great review and shoes;) what is your shoe size?;)
I’m keeping you til bedtime 🙏🌸
If only 😂
I’m in Canada and 5 hours behind 🏴
🙏🌸
The doors are automatic, by pressing a button on the door handle. The manual lever is where Anna mentioned, they are meant to be used only if the automatic button does not work, hence why they are hidden.
My wife also missed the button, and looked really confused when she couldn't get out of the car, when we test-drove one 😅
Oh us women ;-) Thank you for pointing it out, so now it ALL makes sense! :-)
@@AnnaOnRoads to be fair I would have missed it as well, but I watched a reviewer pointing it out where the door would open before test driving the car. The reviewer had the same problem.
@@AnnaOnRoads However…it shows how badly designed it is because a door release should be instantly obvious to anybody and not some clever but confusing electronic system that might well fail in an accident. Just because you CAN make something, does not make it a good idea! 😱😐😐😀
Hi Anna. I get the impression that you love this car so much so I have to ask, is it on your shopping list?
Dream Car😍
A fluffy and heavenly day to you as well Anna. Another great review brilliantly presented, produced video with excellent editing. BMW gets a lot of thing right with this car, the interior, driving dynamics (very good for a heavy car) along with the usual good materials. I could gripe about the range (my circumstances the range would be a real issue due to lack of decent home charging ability) but this is a general issue with EV's at the moment for me. If I had one major dislike it would be the looks, well from the front anyway, I really do not like the current trend for the huge nostrils on that kidney grill. Why so big? It has no cooling purpose so looks purely cosmetic but not in a good way for me anyway. Having said that when you are enjoying the drive in such a good car you don't have to look at the outside of the car, which is a good thing. Thanks for sharing Anna.
Hi Anthony, always appreciate your feedback, thank you and I have to say, I do have similar views. The looks - well, for me the colour doesn't do this car any favours at all. In terms of EVs, absolutely spot on - I would never commit to owning an EV without a solid home charging facility - a wall box and solar panels would be a must.
BMW really knows how to build grille
the best of youtube
Anna, the door handle is a button on the door handle like the Tesla model 3. Keep up your lovely videos x
Probably going to a local car show tomorrow. Should be an abundance of those "nice V-8s" you mentioned, and nary a wall socket or charging cord in sight. No "chargers" at all unless some Dodge Chargers show up. 🙂
Beautiful car The time it takes to charge is a drawback ,anna your videos are shot so well I used to always think you had a team of Cameramen working for you.
Thank you very much Gus. Yes, one must carefully evaluate the lifestyle and driving habits. It's ok for someone who drives short distances etc. but anything long-distance becomes an issue.
@@AnnaOnRoads Technology is advancing so quickly you’re on the front line would you buy a ev today ?
and thank you Gus, well, it wasn't easy to learn the filming but with enough time, patience and persistence, I hope I've managed to bring it to a decent level. But I am hoping to have a videographer so that I can post every couple of days. Fingers crossed for my new project :-)
@@tampaguy35 I wouldn't buy an ev today. I'm living out of the city. Plus I like my flexibility as I absolutely love travelling by car!
@@AnnaOnRoads I agree with you I think we’re heading into something big technology wise I thought hydrogen would be the next big thing .Your videos do stand alone they’re done so well .
Anna, it's the middle of summer, why is there still snow on the ground where you are???
When/Where was this video made ? Snowing in August ?
@@totoarriba Climate change ;-) I've had a bit of a delay due to an illness, but back on track! 4 more winter videos though!
@@AnnaOnRoads haha, I've been wondering about the weather in these videos too. It's a shame you weren't able to get these videos out sooner Anna. I hope you are fully recovered and healthy ☺
The door handle is for emergency use. When you press the unlock button you can easily open the door
Another thumbs up to Anna 👍for a characteristically pithy review, albeit of a vehicle I'd never buy. 🤷♂😃
ITS SATURDAY!! Isn't it 🤔
Neither icy roads nor spiffy seat belt will deter our miss from taming the “40”. The toe operates the boot and foot moves this tonner. Conditions and “cah” have met their match and we all are the winnahs…
nice fun video. Ahhh, where can you be in August summer months with snow?? Is this a climate change issue?? Wow... brrrr.... Lol
" I do like to try new things "🏆
I am not ready for EV, neither is the charging network in Australia
Oh absolutely, Australia has a lonnnnng way to go. I find it rather peculiar when brands are trying to promote electric cars to customers who are living far in the suburbs, it just won't work for the time being.
@@AnnaOnRoads Not only, most of the installed ones are failing, EV has a long way to go here
Plus za The Killers na liście słuchanych :)
Only Anna makes up for that hideous front grill. Great review.
Haha, thank you ❤️
If I had to choose it would be the Audi out of the 3. BMW interior looks unfinished too me. Audi you would hardly know to look at it that it was an electric model. Have a heavenly day also Anna.
Hi Andrew, I would probably go for the e-tron Sportback in terms of looks. But the iX is far far superior when it comes to driving dynamics. Have a heavenly day Andrew :-)
And that’s exactly what BMW likes to achieve here, not another electric car sharing the same platform with the petrol versions. If I want an old fashioned looking electric car, similar to its many petrol predecessors, I would opt for Audi e-tron.
What do you mean with “Interior not finished”?? 🙄 😂
"We are an old sheep, we must not fear?" 🤣 Never heard that one! Agree with earlier comment, the infrastructure here in the UK is not good enough, only self-charge is worth considering. Besides, who wants to drive a car with a face like a smacked bottom?
Haha, we are no sheep - we mustn't fear!
@@AnnaOnRoads never heard anyone say that before! Is the infrastructure any better in Poland or Switzerland for a future of electric driving Anna?
@@pauldorset2124 The infrastructure is very good in Warsaw and Zürich, major cities only. Anything outside and the trouble begins! Quite a few of those small slow chargers but you have to keep a car like this for hours - overnight/entire day to charge it. So there is a LOT of work to be done in this area.
@@AnnaOnRoads Well that’s a bit better than the UK. Out in the countryside where I live diesel 4x4 is king for work vehicles. 2030 is going to be interesting.
Squirrel. Apology. Brilliant review Anna. From the pictures of the grille I didn't like it. I even said to Love Cars that it looks like they put stickers on the grille but when I got the chance to see one, boy was I wrong. The iX is a great looking SUV. I love the futuristic styling especially the front and rear lights. The interior looks amazing and very spacious as well as the boot with all of those suitcases, Where they your suitcases? If so it looks like you moving or got a very long holiday. Love how quiet and peaceful it was when you was drive the iX and its amazing how they hide the weight of it with the handling. I think its great that BMW lets the driver choose which way they use the entertainment system whether touchscreen or the swivel. With the pricing and the £20000 extras is very expensive but then again you are buying a BMW. All in all not bad at all from BMW. I love what you said "They say you get wiser with age. I just want to be faster not wiser". Brilliant LOL. Brilliant Video and top class presenting as always. All the best Anna. :-)
Thank you Jason. Well, the car is very expensive and I think BMW will have to adjust that. The looks of the iX are not everyone's cup of tea, I don't think this colour is doing it any favours, but as with everything, different horses for different courses!
@@AnnaOnRoads totally true. I think I’ve seen the iX in better colours. Yes it does seem expensive and I agree that BMW might have to rethink the price but I guess it’s an out there SUV in styling and new chassis with new equipment I guess they trying recuperate the costing of the manufacturing quickly. Well, all the best Anna. 🙂
This is a very good electric car.
I always enjoy Anna's videos! They are very informative and entertaining. I've noticed that Anna is a little bit of a "speed freak." 😉
Where is this filmed, Anna? It's the middle of summer here in 🇨🇦 Canada.
Beautiful video as always Anna. Hope you’re feeling better. But to answer your question: no. A 5 Series Touring would be cheaper, just as spacious and much nicer to drive. Unless you have mobility problems, need to peer over hedges or wear a top hat when driving, SUVs are pointless. And this one is a bit of a monstrosity with that hideous front … and it looks like a Vauxhall SUV side-on. I’ll stick to my GR Yaris for fun (and practical petrol estate for moving people and stuff). The sheep can carry on buying SUVs.
I 'm too poor to buy a iX. Lucky me.
Anna beautiful and elegant as always, I didn't even look at the vehicles,😘
Its still not a V8 is it Anna, EV cars are not for me .
Anna! I like when you are yourself, don't bother me that you swear and that's why I watch your videos because I hate electric cars. However, it should be pointed out when it comes to fast charging the car that you shorten the life of the batteries, the car manufacturers have talked quietly about this. This was told by a taxi owner who had switched to electric cars and he did not understand that the batteries needed to be replaced earlier than what had been said. Then the guy who took care of the battery change said, by fast charging, the batteries are destroyed faster. Then I hope that those who buy electric cars do not have the charger installed on the house wall or inside a garage. Because the chargers can catch fire and this was a bitter experience for a family in Luleå (Sweden), they had installed the charger on the wall of their newly built house and one day the charger caught fire and the house burned down. So the Fire Service has come out and warned not to install the charger on a house wall or in a garage as the charger could start to catch fire.
If you have a licensed electrician install the charger, it certainly should not be an issue. It is no different from any other household electrical connection.
@@joeb4294 In Sweden, it must be a licensed electrician who installs, but it doesn't matter. However, you should not install on house walls or in garages.
@@ingvartorma9789 Likely millions of home chargers have already been installed around the world. This is very unlikely to be a problem. If you are seriously worried about an EV charger burning your house down, you probably should not have electricity running into your home at all.
iX Best EV
Oh Anna, the more you age, the prettier you become. 💕🥰💕😍
There is NO room for improvement with you Anna
An accent and voice I could listen to forever and quiet the most astonishingly beautiful girl ever created , lovely 😊
The cars expensive but fabulous, not my price range but you get what you pay for
Appreciate the filming and sound / editing
Professional 🙏🙏🙏
None of them, horrible machines, we need an alternative, we will never have the infrastructure to keep them all going.
Fair comment, Kevin. As with everything in life, only time will tell! I am very curious about the hydrogen journey BMW is embarking on.
@@AnnaOnRoads it will be a good alternative, we will also be putting a % of hydrogen into our gas supplies to keep boilers going as well.
Hi Anna I PREFER AUDI Take Care 😄👍🙋♀🍓
Anna, I'm here for you...I could care less about the BMW 9. Overly complex and a horrible value make this a no-go. I think you were the best thing in the car. BMW should go back to real wagons/estates; not inbetweeners. I really don't care if ppl lease the snot out of them, it's not my glass of beer. 🍺
Theres only one Beauty in this review and its not a bmw ! What is bmw doing when it comes to styling, i know its not easy to create beauty, but bmw seem to have run out of the stuff that makes something look great. I guess when your inside (looks ok) you don’t have to look at the styling, but when you get home at the end of the working day, your never going to look back as you walk to the front door, to admire your new car 🤢
I will never like any BMW that has a license plate hanging from the kidney grills.
🥃🌹🥃
:-)
Looks like a taxi. 😐
Haha! Anna's taxi
Tesla cars are ugly, it should be forbidden to put a clever and pretty girl like Anna in those cars.
On the contrary of BMW that is perfect for Anna.
This cars biggest problem is the awful, clumsy and plain ugly styling. Why areBMW so wilfully pushing out such hideous or boring cars? Yes they drive well and is the car of choice with your eyes shut but I tend to like design and elegance with this thing has never heard of either. I’m sure you will get to to drive the i1x soon and that has the face of an angry mouse overdosed on Gorgonzola. BMW….I liked and owned them 1985-1994 but not since. Lots to like but the look is dreadful. 😳😳😨😨😨
I'll pass. Ugly as and yet more electrical things to go wrong on a German Chevy!
Tesla is better
Looks awful.
Very useless crap of vehicle
Focus on the presenter. Take your eyes off this monstrosity. It seems like BMW's design department have been kidnapped and replaced by 👽 aliens.
Interesting combination… a beautiful woman in the ugliest car made in the last 3000 years
