2021 BMW iX3 | Does it still feel like a BMW? (4K)

This is the BMW iX3 and in this video we are going to take a look around the exterior and interior of the car before going for a drive. The iX3 is the first in the new line up of electrified models from BMW. Its arrival marks the start of a new chapter in the BMW story, it will be joined late on in the year by the new i4 and iX, both of which will also be fully electric. The BMW iX3 uses a 74 kWh lithium ion battery made up on 10 individual cells which can create over 280 hp and around 280 miles on the WLTP cycle! This means that 0-62mph is dealt with in 6.8 seconds, the iX3 is different to most BMW SUV's because the power is sen only to the rear wheels. But the big question is does it still feel like a BMW to drive? Has going electric changed the characteristics of the ultimate driving machine?

This is the first time since the government made their BEV announcement that I felt a tinge of excitement towards these cars. Well done BMW for producing a BEV that looks like a BMW, drives and rides like an BMW SUV, and is a rear wheel drive, makes me fell breathless!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Nice review guys. I’ve got mine a couple of months now and I love it! I’ve modified mine in a full X3M version, only without the ICE ;-) but 21” rims, bumpers, kidney’s and skirts. Still over 300km of range with 2 adults, 2 kids and driving 130km/h and it feels like a proper BMW! 💪🏻

That sounds awesome!

Would you please share your car pictures?

@@thatmidlifevlogger4463 sure! Where do you want me to send them to?

I'm looking forward to getting mines in September but I'm pissed that before I've got my car, a facelifted one has been launched. Not good

Did you get your car yet.How is it?

[@crashmediauk8471]

@@John-er9di Yes got my car, its the best car I have driven in a long time. It's my first ever BMW and I am sure it won't be my last. The amount of tech as standard is amazing.

Nice review, good quality. Are the black rims (inserts) standard in UK?

[@SytnerTV]

Yes they are standard on the premier edition.

In China, it just costs 370000RMB after discount which is equals to 57300USD and comes with a 22kw wall charger and installation at no extra charge.

[@MrZed475]

@@jerryxiachina lucky you, unfortunately here despite government grant, there still a bit to pay for wall charging at home, will not be 22kw I'm pretty sure (7kw I believe). Heard there's already talk of a face-lift for the New 2022 model to match the new X3 design as well

[@jerryxiachina]

@@MrZed475 This is the price for pre-facelift version and the facelift version will costs for 390000, but the advantage is that it only costs one week from manufacturing to delivering to customers.

Lovely car but the wheels look awful (IMO). So many electric vehicles at the moment have these awful plastic looking wheels, just put normal X3 alloys on it, not every electric car has to have a futuristic look.

[@brecherxp9795]

The efficiency is good. The design should have been more aggressive, BMW drivers want that. Why make an EV less aggressive? It has (potentially) much more Power, Torque, the opposite should be the case... Merc and Audi show, they make their EVs best they can, even in design. And the IX3 wastes so much space that EV is offering basically.

[@rogerhudson9732]

Making an EV that looks like the old petrol/ diesel BMWs is a big step backwards.

[@bodrulm1]

People just want a good looking car whether EV or ICE shouldn't matter. Clearly ICE cars look better right now. Good move BMW
