Join Jens Klingmann as he discovers the pure thrill of electric driving, experiencing instant power, no delays, and a flawless connection between driver and machine in the BMW Vision Driving Experience.

[tturedraider]

Yes, that electric motor whine is just exhilarating. No thank you.

[TboneS54]

[KevinC]

[m4bimmer7]

thrill of Boredom and a good ol computer sound nice

[///JK]

Remember the script now, Jens…

…no deviations, you hear?

[co_440i]

At least in the drivers seat you don’t see that rear end

[pegogetem]

Lovely machine!

[TR930]

Why can't they make the front and rear look good at the same time like the F80 M3?

[wesleyan92]

How many of the 7 different bias forms can we apply to this guy and this situation?

Of course, he is going to LOVE this shit more than his own mother.

[NickyC]

Still kind of digging the exterior.

[moriluvatar]

Worlds fastest elevator. Push button go.

[ghaffari46]

And at the end many of us will end up buying this thing.
I remember how much I used to trash IX when it was first introduced, and now I have 2 of them in my garage. And I barely drive my manual M2 these days.
Somewhere along the road, I lost my soul!

As soon as I can get a quad motor I will be all over it

Agree. Proportions are spot on.

While I’ll always have a dedicated MT in the garage, a cool EV with a 500 mile range would be a consideration. This thing looks to have the silhouette of a futuristic EV E30 M3.

The future is mostly electric!
Most of us “enthusiasts” will take time to convert..
Current teenagers & younger (future BMW customers) will get this pretty much without hesitation..

As we get older, maybe lazier too, we might convince ourselves to use an EV during the week & save a old manual transmission ICE car for weekend/fun drives.. maybe..

I find it amusingly ironic that all the negative comments in this form will never actually purchase the vehicle. Will never have the opportunity to drive it, yet they manage to make judgments about a vehicle that they likely cannot afford and that they probably will never own. Their sole purpose seems to be creating drama… quit the nonse.

I have more respect for people that go. That’s an interesting. Maybe I should drive it before I pass judgment.

I’ll never own another xDrive and I’ll NEVER own a BMW truck. I will never own an EV.

That's awesome. Yet if you are after that pure connected driving experience, and since speed means nothing, a Miata may be the better choice for you. It is more direct, probably more fun, and might even out handle your 3 series on an autocross circuit, but alas, the Miata may not be your better every day driver. Hopefully you have a modified exhaust system because that makes it so much more fun when lining up next to cars like yours. It's such a delight to hear an ICE wailing next to you as the EV effortlessly pulls away. So hopefully there will always be ICE cars around for a long time to pick on. Believe me, most EV drivers don't envy noisy, lagy gas/diesel engines at all. Kind of like a quiet new Corvette that trounces an old 427 Corvette that is over 50 yrs old. Similarly, the old Vette owner hangs on to his old and comparatively raw Vette experience, while the new Vette owner enjoys his smooth, more energy efficient new ride with all the high tech features and creature comforts. To each his own. FYI, if your car had more HP and Torque, X drive would have been more critical. Interestingly enough, most EV drivers say they never want to own a petrol car again. Many people on here think that they are the ultimate canyon, track racer (when they aren't even close), when they spend 99% of their miles on the road in town or on the highway. Kind of like big tired 4x4 truck/SUV owners that have never taken their cars off road. On the other hand, that precise, instant EV torque and plant you in the seat acceleration IS something you can enjoy EVERY DAY, at every intersection, on ramp, etc. The fact that they are at least 4x more efficient in energy usage for a comparable car is just icing on the cake.

You sound too reasonable.
