I am in the same position as you but I am going to go out on a limb and say I do not like the expansive screens in the interior.

I was going to put a deposit down, being refundable and having had a good experience in getting EV preorder deposits back I figured I could decide later. However, two pain points made me ultimately pass:
1) The car interiors just too much. It has a "jewelry" feel with the crystal knobs and minimal feel. It's the car interior from a D'ior commercial. I'm hoping we get a sportier "M" inspired interior at some point. 2) Whoever is running the marketing campaign should be fired. I got one email announcing that the iX was coming, and to sign up for updates, which I did. Then nothing until "preorders in 30 minutes!". Curious what the size of the thing was, I clicked through the website, which had almost no information. ~300 miles range, < 5sec to 60, that's about all they had for me. I've read about this car on auto blogs, so I know people are speculating it will be about the size of an X5, but who f*** knows, they can't be bothered to explain what you're ordering. There is WAY more info on this thread than a normal customer gets from official channels. The final nail was that the lease is about $300 more than the car I have now, which as a similar MSRP to the iX. That's a hefty early adopter fee. I will wait to see if they do a sportier version and once they're released and out a year or so then incentives might pop up. |

IMO Ford nailed it with F150 EV. BMW missed an opportunity here.

Squinting beaver BMW is going to save me metric tons of money going forward. It's just so easy to say no.

iDrive 8 should be called iDrive 7.1 facelift, because that's really what it is. It's marginally different to iDrive 7 with a big facelift (UI/UX refresh) on top.

Wait I thought we already had the iX3... shouldn’t this be the iX5? And naming aside, why is everyone acting like this is a new thing when the iX3 was already released months ago?

Can manufacturers stop worrying about up selling leather and get back to making cars with personality ffs. I'm tired of seeing every car follow the rest of the pack.

This is like between X5 and X7 a cheaper version will probably sell pretty well, though think this as it is would probably sell too, I mean I prefer to look at this than Tesla model X...
