Thanks Brian. I have a gas 3 & X and daily an i3. I love the EV powertrain so much that I’m sitting out for the next iteration, whatever it is - the NA version of the “iX3”. (I can’t believe dealerships nixed it for the NA market.). They should pull a Tesla and allow direct sales.

No automakers can do direct sales in the USA. I don't even know how Tesla gets away with it, but maybe because they are new.

@@glenf4115 My understanding is dealerships make most of their money in the service dept, and in used car sales. Personally, I just don't like having to deal with a middleman. I think it would be much more convenient to purchase direct. I'm not sure it would result in lower transaction prices though.

This a a great vehicle. Where these makers go wrong ... the short EV range. They need to have 40-50 miles of electric range (a la Chevy Volt) to be practical for electric driving. I’d never spend the extra money for 16 miles of electric range, for 40-50 miles, no brainer.
@gman76utube3 жыл бұрын
For you 50 miles, for me 25 is fine. I live 10 miles from work. Drive back n forth, plug in at night, good enough.

Just signed the contract on this same car yesterday. Delivery time, somewhere around end of September but will be the new face-lifted version (I live in Germany). Have tried to find reliable pics of what the face-lift will look like. Any ideas? Also ordered the M-Sports Seats as the normal sports seats are currently not available with the passenger side lumbar support. Have you ever sat in or drove using the M-Sports seats? Thanks 👏

I have a RAV4 Prime ordered, I would have considered this car too but I’m too far from service and the EV range doesn’t compare.

I live near a highway, and I uses it when I go to work. If I need to use the engine for whatever reason while I am on the highway, the engine would turn on while cold, when I am doing 100 km/hr... I am assuming manufacturers like BMW has some ways to protect the engine?
