They lost money on every i3 they produced due to the expensive carbon structure so they went back to their safe space with the i4. Honestly, I can't blame them even though it means it is quite a bit heavier than it could be but on the other hand, it is competitively priced - if it had the i3 carbon core, it would be just way too expensive (even more so now that they don't own the tech anymore) I'm afraid.

iX has a lot of Carbon fiber; just like the i3! I was amazed how much the 2022 iX has. BMW has not abandoned carbon fiber tech, they invested about a billion dollars!
