The x5 looks so much better

The future is here! Sorry boomers

why does the electric powered police car have larger grills than the ICE powered police car?

Road&Track, 9/28/2021:
"The most egregious in a long line of increasingly cartoony grill treatments, the iX carries the added insult inherent to its application to an electric car. It's not a grill, just a flat plastic panel…"
Car&Driver, 11/23/2020:
"…aggressive front end profile despite the lack of a requirement to cool a combustion engine. Instead the grill contains a camera, radar and an array of other sensors."

the battery is located under the length of the cabin floor and is cooled by a plate attached to its underside.

Maybe too cool the sensors then

Very cool!

Shit! It's the cops!

Teutonic · 12-04-2021, 06:49 AM

1200 is a legend. No electric vehicle or bike will ever beat a NA engine. Ever.

NOOOO! GOD! No, God, please no! No! No! NOOOOOO!

Thats a pathetic top speed

one reason more to hate electric cars. Even my over 20 years old Jeep can go faster

It's doubtful California Highway Patrol will consider BMW iX during the next N (enter your own digit or digits) decades.

iX cop cars will make escapes much easier. You don't even need 250 mile/hr
