BMW has just lost another loyal customer. After owning close to 30 BMWs over 25 years, they just don’t get it. I am ready to go electric but not at $100K. Audi and Mercedes have seen failures for their electric vehicles, not because of design or quality, but because of price. Every day there are new options in the market. Before they know it, the market will have moved and they will be trying to get customers back to the brand. Do some customer research BMW! ID4 here I come.

Have to say, it doesn't look as bad as this iX and I might consider getting it. But you are absolutely right! iX/i4 should have something better compared to their competition for people to choose them but so far the range and price estimates are both not competitive at all! The only advantage BMW has (in US at least) is that they are still eligible for the $7,500 federal credit but with the current admin proposing to reinstate $7,000 credit for up to 400,000 vehicles sold, then Tesla becomes much more affordable! |

I just saw the iX here in New York on the road, 😒. Tech is great, electric 🔋 is cool! But if you don't have sleek and cool exterior styling it's NOT going to $ell, hence the i3. Dare I say, better styling & marketing by Ford: Mustang 🐎 Mach-E 🔋.

BMW has absolutely lost their minds. I usually don't wish ill on a company but I hope these models crash and burn in sales so they can take their ass back to the drawing board and design a proper looking EV.

I usually dont do this but... this is the first BMW that genuinely, GENUINELY, doesn't look like a BMW from any angle.
The rear quarter especially gives CRV / Rav4 vibes... |

Well I think everyone knew the design already, I cant see the point starting the same discussion again and again.
There was a german comedian in the early 20th cent., he said something like 'everything to say has been said, but not by everyone' . This applies pretty good here I think, lol. Looking at the real new information, the technical specs and the price, I am pretty exited. I assume that the specs are pretty near the reality and if the performance is as underrated as for the ix3, this one should be fast ahead of its main competitors, Merc, and Audi. Tesla still is the Benchmark I think. Finally we had a ix3 in our company for a test drive, it felt much quicker then the claimed 6.8s to 100km/h. We also drove about 200km and still had 170km remaining - not too bad, considering that it was pretty cold and that I floored it several times. Also looking at the price tag for the IX, it is in the range of a an equivalent X5. Also a similar model X costs about 90k in germany. The only problem that I have is, that BMW now also announced a new gen EV platform coming in 2025. Considering that the first IX models will be delivered 2022, I would be concerned that it could be already outdated in the near future. Well, there is maybe an other problem - I don't like how it looks too

Unfortunately I'm currently not in the market for an EV but if I were this would be it. I love it and everything about it. Personally I think the design is great its very progressive looking and still has all the BMW characteristics. I'd absolutely buy it.
