2021 BMW iX3 REVIEW | BETTER THAN THE EQC AND THE E-TRON?

BMW have launched a very special car, one that I think showcases a lot of important features when considering the jump from petrol/diesel to fully electric. Although the infrastructure may not be there yet, the iX3 is definitely a strong contender in the EV family car range - impressive! Find out my full thoughts in this video.
Stats include a 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds, a range of 280 miles, 282bhp and 400nm of torque.
Please note - I made a mistake on the boot space capacity. It is actually 510 litres!!!

My expectations were high before watching as I’ve tested the car myself, BUT, again, what a great review! Perfectly explained, keep it up Grace!

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you for watching my take on the iX3, glad you liked this car as much as I did ⚡️🔌

[@DJAlWaters]

Another top Review!! 🙌 fantastic work!

Thank you very much! 😁

Good video first uk one I have seen. I have one on order for October please can you do a full motorway range test?

[@Mo-cd8nl]

Great review!

[@bigheadcarreviews1989]

Great informative review. Recently ordered a premier pro in carbon black, was a tough choice but my range anxiety got in the way so had to discount both the EQC & E-Tron.

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you so much for watching. Carbon black is the best colour for this car I think 👏🏼 I hope you enjoy your new car when it comes 👌🏼

[@MrZed475]

Good review, well explained, made my mind which EV I’m gonna get!

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@fmartistry1873]

Great review, you have a really natural style. I have one on order, due at the end of October.

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you so much! 😊 pleased you’ve gone with a BMW 👀

[@ianpark3872]

Brilliant Video Grace!!! I get mine in October, can’t wait!! Mines got the cognac interior though, just adds a bit of something to the interior!!!

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you for watching! 😁 oh wow, that’s exciting. Cognac interior is a good choice, it’s nice to have something other than black sometimes 👏🏼

[@shortfattoad7317]

Mine won't come until end of Dec as it is being changed for the new 'facelift' version now....

[@ablundell7681]

Great review thanks. I couldn’t decide between one of these and the q4 50 Quattro. I went for the q4 as was 4 wheel drive vs rear wheel on the BMW. Have you driven both and if so which did you prefer?

[@gracedavies5716]

Thanks for watching! I’m yet to try the Q4, I’d be interested to see the difference in drive. I have to say, I was surprised with this being RWD - it did feel very planted. Enjoy your new car and thank you for commenting!

[@melvingeorge10]

@@gracedavies5716 can i ask, was that the Premier or Prem Pro?

[@fins4u718]

Great review covering all the key points….I’m stuck between the ix3, q4 and ionic 5, having had a test drive in them all, still very much undecided!

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you for watching! Ah, what a tough choice… What are the main requirements for you?

[@fins4u718]

@@gracedavies5716 it’s tough but can’t complain! Only main one is will need a Towbar at some point…. Mileage wise they seem quite similar, so just down to taste I guess and quality

[@gracedavies5716]

@@fins4u718 I’m sure you already know this, but a tow bar is actually the only thing you can spec on the iX3. Hopefully you come to a decision soon 🤞🏼

Did you test drive the Model 3 or consider Y?

Ah thank you so much again. Your continued support doesn’t go unrecognised. I was worried this video was a bit too long but I wanted to include all of the relevant information I could. Thinking of making a “5 things” style video on this car too, what do you think?

[@BaruKz]

@@gracedavies5716 I think it would be a very nice extra. Never forget that I will always give my full support, huge fan of your huge effort.

[@PwbBm]

Interesting! But I couldn't find answer to the question presented in tittle? How do you rate this compared to others?

[@MrBazsi888]

your style is nice, but you should demonstrate the trunk space with your body inside the space. next time try to do at least 1 zero-100kmh acceleration demonstration + cornering example from the outside. ix3 is my next car but i wait for the updated facelift. only what is missing out of this car is the solar roof like ioniq 5 as an option.

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you for your comments. I agree that more footage would be good, it’s sometimes tricky when I am doing this all solo with a tripod. Thanks for watching 😁

[@MrBazsi888]

@@gracedavies5716 you could present dynamic footage with your voice in the background. i like your car choices. your beauty suits well to these luxury cars. you need a boyfriend who could help your channel grow by capturing your performances. please test ioniq 5 and kia ev6.

[@gregoryuk]

@@gracedavies5716 Plenty (and too many IMO) presenters do 0-60 timings. It's not real world. You do what you do your own way. Let them go elsewhere for lap times.

[@cincyrovers]

Great video, Grace! I did some research on the iX3, and was surprised to learn that we won’t be getting it here in the US, the X3’s biggest market. What would you rather have - an iX3 or an X3 M40i? You already know which one I’d choose 😉

[@gracedavies5716]

Thank you for watching Alex. Oh, what?! I wouldn’t have expected that. The X3 is certainly one of the biggest selling cars over here too… that’s surprised me. Ah, always has to be the M40i variant! Can’t beat it despite the switch to electric coming up ⚡️

[@cincyrovers]

@@gracedavies5716 nothing beats the B58. Easily the best I6 in the business. I guess since they aren’t selling it here, that means we get more M40i’s! 😁

[@derekporter66]

finally managed to cook clean and iron and get a car review in. top stuff

[@gracedavies5716]

Thanks so much!!!

[@stevecaplan7029]

Even though the ix3 is just about here now there is an update 2022 version already on show…..

[@sizarpoli6633]

I was focusing on you more than the car 🤷, i have to it watch again hoping i make my mind which car i have to get ✌️

[@gracedavies5716]

Thanks for watching!

[@ts6070]

Well the BMW i3 came out abit more than a few years ago it came out in 2013..

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I would get an EQC instead, cos the iX3 is only RWD. The EQC is AWD.

[@Lemond75]

Nice review, but it’s an IX ‘three’ rather than an IX ‘free’.

[@gracedavies5716]

If you say it this many times it becomes whatever is audible 😂 thanks though

For the same money you can buy a m5 comp two years old. Just saying

[@gracedavies5716]

You can buy so many different used cars for the same money, however this is just a review of BMW’s 2nd fully electric car so not quite comparable to an M5 but I like your thinking nonetheless 😁

[@sixer48]

“Air into the batteries” Really?

[@gracedavies5716]

Really 😁 well, air into the radiators. Thanks for watching!

[@heikobratke919]

Front air intakes are not fake. Do your homework.

[@gracedavies5716]

I just meant that they don’t do much other than increase the areo dynamics through to the wheels. Apologies for my wording!
