Picking up my ix50 today! Went for a test drive and it’s was the best ride I’ve ever experienced 😊
LOVE the car. As a matter of fact, mine is sitting on a German dock waiting to be loaded on a ship to America.
Same! Although mine is the 50 and arrives today
So the hood can’t open or they just won’t let you? Seems kind of dumb for a manufacturer to make an electric and not make a frunk. Even with a suv or truck I still love the idea of having a frunk for that extra storage space.
agree, its a dedicated ev platform so its not excusable.
@@FlameOnTheBeat there is, a pull on each side to open it and its full of hoses and other stuff.
@@laloajuria4678 sure it is if they reduce the length of the front in favor of more cabin space. Look how long the hood on the Mach E is to accommodate a trunk.
They’ve done a bunch of studies and found that most ppl who own a car w a frunk never actually use it, so basically useless.
@@swisstrader frunks have only been out for a tiny amount of time and very few owners exist already. How the F could they have done an accurate study. That sounds like the tobacco companies that did “studies showing smoking cigarettes is healthy for you”. Sounds idiotic as hell if you ask me. Also there’s only 1 truck out right now with a frunk. I could see how a truck with a frunk would be extremely useful. Keep the bed dirty for hauling and the frunk clean for groceries. Also that’s another point. Most truck owners report not using their trucks for hauling anything yet they all want a truck. Imagine manufacturers telling the truck owners we are going to get rid of the bed and just cover it up since none of you use it anyway. It’s basically useless.
I love BMW, their cars are legendary! With that said, this thing has to be up for the award, Ugliest of year!
The iX may not win any beauty contests, but I'm definitely interested. I never considered the i3 until I bought one back in '17, and it was perhaps the most fun car I've ever owned.
Yeah. Although I have to say. The more I see it, the more it grows on me
I am a life long Porsche, BMW and other drivers. The new design didn't work for me - but it stands out. Now the more I see them on the street the more I like.
Interesting how that works. BMW design has - to me - looked bland/uninspired for decades. To me, it looks like they’re finally finding their way and bringing life into the design language. Haven’t given owning one a second thought in a long time, but now they have my attention. To each their own
Overrated oil drinking junk. They severely underrate their motors to create this legend oh its bmw engine.
BMW seems to really have fun with designing EVs, thank you for the review, great video! 🔌⚡🚘
Just ordered a UK M Sport 40 in Oxide Grey Metallic for March 25 delivery.... Cant wait 😎
I've to disagree with one point. Most won't see the exterior design as a complain, but instead the price tag. For more EV adoption with current battery technology, the market needs more cars in the price range of the Nissan Leaf or the Dacia Spring.
But BMW isn’t going to be the company that brings a new technology at a good price. After all BMW stands for Big Money Wasted.
There are basic EVs at much lower cost, such as the Chevy Bolt EV or EUV which will be 5k to 6k cheaper in the US for 2023
BMW’s goal isn’t to make affordable vehicles lol, I’m sure Toyota will be the one to have affordable ev’s within the next 5 years. BMW is luxury performance, which always come with a high price unfortunately
@@redman2751 yeah disagree here - if you chose the right BMW it's a solid choice - I had like 20+ BMW´s in my driving career.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 yeah you sound like the Land Rover guys. Everyone but them seems to have any problems with their vehicles.
For people saying don’t like it because there are no tactile buttons, very easy w voice command to do whatever you want and very quickly. Want it cooler, just say “hey BMW, make it cooler”. So easy
Quick unobtainium. Seems like an excellent marriage of looks, power, comforts. Thanks for the look!
Totally agree with the buttons. The i3 we have is perfect and still feels minimal. Wish they had continued that amount of hard buttons with the newer/larger screen. Also, they needed the frunk!
agree, its a dedicated ev platform so its not excusable.
I really don't understand the push for no hard buttons. I've never in my life gotten into a car and thought "huh I would rather fumble my way through touch screen menus to be able to control my A/C". It just doesn't make sense for things that people fiddle with while driving.
@@laloajuria4678 re: "agree, its a dedicated ev platform so its not excusable." excusable... "NO FRUNK FOR YOU...!!!" (Soup Nazi voice)
Tesla Model X can carry 7 adults. If you select 2 row Model X then it has much more storage in the trunk than iX. Plus Tesla has a large frunk.
Plus convenience superchargers for many long distance trips but once the 3m double-sided tapes used in many areas failed, there will be lots of SC visits. Flimsy build quality is annoying so I now have iX on ordered.
@@kitttran1852 The refreshed Model X interior has much improved fit and finish and is a very nice vehicle overall.
I'd love one as a daily driver for the city.
Nice for the two of you to be at the ‘Ring together! What a hoot 👏🏻👏🏻
I was able to drive my C5 Z06 on the ring! Talk about a once in a lifetime time opportunity. I will never forget that! And I live BMW, just ordered my 6th Beamer. M440i, can't wait.
The Germans, BMW & Mercedes, are missing the mark by not having a frunk.
agree, its a dedicated ev platform so its not excusable.
A frunk is pretty low on my list of priorities, and probably won't cost them any sales.
Until you have to make repairs and everything is easily accessible instead of stuffing parts everywhere else like Tesla does.
@@bahamatodd Exactly!
@@rzu7120 Have you seen what's involved with replacing their new structural battery? The battery is literally the interior floor so now you have to remove everything attached to the floor (seats, carpet etc) to change the battery.
The first SAV to be carplay 2.0 ready, just need another screen below the AC vent.
Those crystal accents are tacky.
With the hatch open the rear has a slight resemblance to a Fiat 500
Hans zimmer also did inception if I recall correctly.
Hey Roman 80+20+80=180
I think you meant 40-20-40 split on the backseat
Roman says math was never his best subject 😉
@@TFLEV 🤣🤣🤣
This was calculated using imperial units ;-)
@@bernhardleopold6702 American percentages LOL.
I love the real buttons, I like what Audi is doing with the etron models, but I guess it's subjective. Some people like the simplistic look, I like an ev that has a regular car interior
I hope you can not open the windshield fluid door when the vehicle is locked.
Can’t
I would be curious to see some slalom figures and skidpad data comparison to iX xdrive 50, x5 xdrive 50, ,X5M etc Strait line acceleration is only one dimension of a performance sav/suv Thanks for a good video guys
Side profile design needs bit more work, black trim line front to back isn’t good enough, otherwise well done BMW👍
But does it have the trade mark BMW broken with 10K in repairs at 80K miles?
well the tech will still break. but thats the point of going electric! its why they dragged their feet for so long....
At least it wont have oil leaks after 10 years.
EV is the future, embrace it… good job BMW finaly some real competition for Tesla, I like the fact that BMW created a cheaper option to the X model with better interior design
Awesome car, but this didn’t age well. They gather dust on lots and BMW is fire selling them at crazy lease rates
What Wheels are these ? I never seen them anywhere or in the configurator !
I dislike the look, strongly dislike the lack of tactile buttons for basic functions when driving, wish the steering wheel was more about ergonomics than looks, and I wish they put fast charging on the level of kia/Hyundai in there. Oh yeah also metal in the seat back is bad
I like the range, power, BMW quality.
Where are the grab handles?
;-D Nice I want.. It depends on how you option it out... I hate these glass roofs, give me a Sun Roof that opens and closes not the extra cost for glass roofs....
That "beaver" front end...yikes...cool is not a word I would use to describe this car's looks.
BMW make the grille smaller is not about you it’s about your customers
You can hardly find one mew bmw in Nigeria, they used to be every where’
seems like countrysh cant get used to big grill, what a joke. I boght ix50 for 3 months until i will get ix m60. The coolest looking car, by far right now. X 6 and x7 looks like century old design, feel sorry for those who have to drive with oli-lamps. Just get into new era....
Personally as a single guy who likes his cars but has never really wanted to own a fossil fuel Porsche I think I prefer a Taycan Cross Tourismo over any version of this iX
What is the name of the exterior color?
Bmw ix can go more than model x, dont even compare ride quality, bmw worked with rolls royce to create this masterpiece
80/20/80 seats… inflation math. Lol
Everyone bemoaned the Bangle era BMW's styling. Those are starting to look like works of art compared to the hodgepodge of mismatched design elements sprinkled ridiculous bling of the new BMW era. How far has it fallen from design followed by ergonomics and purposeful Teutonic simplicity to this atrocious hodgepodge of clashing design elements. OMG that grill, I'm sure only Bugs Bunny would look at that with pride.
Wait, weren't you the guys that popped the hood open with the EQS? Why not do it with the iX, BMW promised to sue you if you are naughty? 😜
With gas prices even at $7 out here in CA, spending $105K on an electric or any vehicle makes no sense at all.
This is a high end luxury vehicle, they would spend the same money on a gas vehicle.
But the big advantage is you don't have oil changes and you save at least $15k on fuel & maintenance over 5 yrs. The longer you keep it the more you save.
Plus EVs are holding more resale value so you save on depreciation
All the fuel savings, EV tax credit, no sales tax on the car, discount on toll passes and on and on.
Me gusta bmw para papa Esteban
Good
You can't self-heal those bucky beaver teeth no matter how much that protective film costs.
Not liking the lines on the side….
More maverick
13:10 agreed. The grill isn't the only issue either. There's a lot of "check that box" modern styling details that aren't going to age well.
Of course I'd go for the R1S if given the option. But that's apple's to oranges really.
I al not a fan of the exterior looks of the iX. And that is saying it lightly. And don’t get the range of the iX. The M60 costs 2800€ a month. The 50 is the choice currently even though the 40 version is better for here, but it is only available with a much smaller battery.
It’s nice but too expensive just like any EV with good range .
Not warming up to these BMW interiors. Too techy instead of luxurious.
The future were cars get totaled because there screen fails
How does that make sense?
Screens rarely fail, if that's an issue down the road it can be fixed or replaced
Nothing about that car looks like $100k unless you see value in the performance.
I like the package. Darker rim makes it looks sexy.
14:06 If you’re a multimillionaire and can pay cash for a $100K car, then yes.
KOOL RIDE IF U LIKE EVS...NOT KOOL TOMMY...WASTE OF PLASTIC...BUT GREAT REVIEW N DAD WAS ROCKN IT TOO...GTEAT JOB FELLAS...TAKE THAT BEATER OUT ON TUMBLE WEED RANCH LIKE GRIND HARD PLUMBINGS TESLA OFF ROADER...NOW THATS KOOL....LOL
Don’t like there design but it don’t look like a copy and paste but Aztec was unique as well but bimmer is selling well :)
I’ll let the wealthy people buy beginnings of luxury electric automobiles. I’ll wait for the economic trickle down versions in the next 20 years.
tezla shit
Not luxurious.. compare with any bmw ice cars, the ev is cost saving initiatives…
No reason for the giant 'butt-print' grill other than BMW wanting that to be their design from now on. EVs don't need that, make it smaller. I would not pay $100k for an EV, but I would not buy that thing for any price with that ugly front.
Most likely the ugliest SUV on the market.
I7 is worth the money not this thing awful
Cool tech. Very ugly car. Wouldn’t purchase for that reason alone lol
Do y'all really need to have such a ridiculously nonsensical title on every single video? Is it really making your content better
You both sound like you are salesmen for BMW. How about doing an accurate review, not a sales pitch for your trip paid for by BMW?
ha ha ha ... yuppies
Aloha from Honolulu
First
Its ugly af
It’s small, expensive and ugly!!
Gents, Chevron regular today in Canada: $CAD2.37/litre = $US7.12/USGal
Ay carumba!
