Have you even read the reviews?
Both i4 and iX have met or exceeds most expectation in most reviews.

And most people don't realize iX is actually more efficient than Model X (Bjorn's data sheet).
By all account, BMW has gotten it very right for both products.
Many reviews conclude they feel heavy and dull except for straight line acceleration up to about 80…

I'm not saying they're not impressive compared to Tesla. I'm saying in general. Plopping a 5600lb suv over top of batteries and getting 280 miles of range in the high performance model in a vehicle supposed to be used for hauling people or things… yeah not so great. Can't get in the headspace of anyone who would spend 100k on a car that's slower, less practical, heavier, uglier, more inconvenient and (depending on specs) more expensive than an X5M.
