Yup, that's why I mentioned "which is changing soon" in my post. Been seeing those articles saying they're going to open up their network at some point. They're probably going to charge a good bit to non-Tesla drivers, but they'll still be usable and will make a big difference in the overall infrastructure available to EV/PHEV owners. |

Jalopnik added their review, it is pretty decent. https://jalopnik.com/the-electric-bm...ive-1847765429

This brings up a good comparison against an X5 xDrive45e
Fully loaded X5 PHEV is about the same price as an iX base price. Both qualify for federal tax credit. X5 has a decent 31 mile all electric range that should be good for majority of people, plus you get 470 mile highway range. If I was in the market I'd strongly consider driving X5 hybrid for a few years until the initial demand for iX dies down and they improve the range to 400-500 miles |

Looks like BMW thinks that anything more than 360 miles of EV range is not necessary and therefore not in their plans.

...right after you buy the $1000 charging adapter to convert the Tesla proprietary connector to the CCS plug on the BMW and all the other brands that use CCS. My hope is the other 3rd-party DCFC networks in NA get on the stick and increase their expansion to support.

But would you go someone's house and tell him/her that your wife/husband is ugly?
It's ok to whine about its look in a general BMW forum. But this is a dedicated iX forums for people who are interested or planning the buy the car. Quote:
But it is simply not a nice thing to do in this dedicated forum, as interested buyers who want to check out the reviews in this thread have to wade through these useless hate and distracting posts. |

Almost all the reviews so far have been pretty positive.
Refinement seems to be a strong point - and I am excited about this, as this (or lack of) is one of the major flaw of Tesla. |

I love the exterior design of the iX, looks menacing and futuristic.
The interior of the iX is on another level, probably best BMW interior ever. I would also choose the iX over any Tesla, that's a no brainer. |

I think commenting on any persons looks negatively is pretty mean but in a forum where none of us have driven the car, I think it's fair game to judge the looks of it at the very least. If you're planning on purchasing a car and it's looks are polarizing, then you shouldn't be swayed either way on other peoples opinions on the car. But those people are still entitled to say what they think about it. |

Agreed. I am looking forward to getting ours in June and looks like we made a good call in preordering. Looks like anyone ordering now won't get it for over a year! Yes, the interior was a big factor for us as well as the overall dimensions.

Tesla has launched a CCS to Tesla adapter…currently only available in KR… $250 retail. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if there is an adapter in that price range….however, I expect it to be over $500….it’s the tax to use their network.

Mines, over here - UK BMW exclusive day. Written bullet points and vid.
Best car I have driven all year... just happens to be electric AND ALSO SOOO EXPENSIVE. 550i was close, but the iX is the first BMW I have got excited about. If they made this much effort on their other cars!!!! https://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/s....php?t=1885074 |
