I was able to take a look at it last weekend in Chicago. Not nearly as a fancy walk around video as the others, but enjoy: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0lbw...eed_Rate_Field

I saw one of these on the road near Palm Springs, California the other day. I wasn't too far from the Thermal track, so I'm wondering if it was a BMW employee.

Is the ambient/accent lighting turned down in the second video, or has BMW seriously muted this experience in the iX (mainly to the line where the windows retract)? My X7's 1st and 2nd rows pop. 2nd row has lightning in the back of the 1st-row seats.

Give me 500 miles of range and I won't care what it looks like.

It requires a lot of skills to make something that ugly. Is BMW being sabotaged from the inside?

Both BMW & MB offices were in Palo Alto and Porsche software group is in San José.

Really, really wanted to like this but the interior just reminds me too much of a jewelry box with all of the crystal effects and pillow diamond stitching. Waiting in the wings for a sportier take…

Apart from the LED strip at the doors, there are also projection lighting at the door handles and also some lighting at the storage bin at the doors, plus the usual lighting at the floor. |

The iX is literally a collection of contradictions, aggregation of outcomes resulting from enigmatic design decisions, and a convincing non-candidate for a segment leader. It has the least purposeful visual appearance of any electric SUV - if one can call it an SUV.
To contrast, Land Rover Defender 110 is selling exceptionally well because there isn't any doubt why this vehicle was built the way it was built. If Sylvester Stallone decides to remake Judge Dredd, BMW ought to buy product placement spots for iX. That's where it belongs in the current form. |

Nothing here is really an upgrade over what we have in current cars, they just put the screens together with lots of black space around them, it doesn't look natural at all compared to current cars with the recessed instrument screen and the infotainment screen that kind of springs out of it. |
