[@huaphong864]

Thanks Miss GoElectric. We watched a ton of reviews for BMW ix. This is our favorite review. We looked over a lots of EV for months. My wife picked some of those for considering. But after this review she said: “ this is my choice “. We ordered exactly same ix on this video. Everything exactly the same. Thanks again and we definitely subscribed your channel. One of the great review we watched for years

[@MissGoElectric]

We are very happy to learn that our production has been helpful to you. We look forward to more reviews in 2023!

[@SeattleNoname]

True. She gives much more information in this video, than all the others together.

[@stevehoyle1157]

I really enjoyed your review. This probably locked me into the IX for my next car.

[@pamelaturner8997]

I accepted delivery of my 2022 BMW iX xDrive50 on 6/3/2022. I have owned two BMW X5's previously and decided to go electric. I cannot tell you how much I love this vehicle. I get performance, luxurious interior and no longer have to deal with going to the gas pumps. I have my own own Level 2 Charge Point home flex hardwired in our garage. I am one happy Bimmer owner.

[@MissGoElectric]

You are so cool, Pamela!! I am so glad to hear you are loving your iX because I love this vehicle too. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙂

I've recently watched over 20 BMW ix reviews, and this is definitely one of my favorites! It's very detailed and I really like the side-by-side comparisons, also how you showed all the options, colors, trims, etc. Well done!

Great review. Thanks. One question. What happens if the 12 volt battery dies. if you can't open the hood, how do you get to it in an emergency?

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Maybe it has a hood latch hiding under a plastic cover like in the Mercedes EQS? Excellent question!

[@MissGoElectric]

Much like the Tesla's manual frunk access and the EQS service hood Mitchell mentioned, I'd imagine BMW prefers to keep the details of how to get in there down to a need-to-know basis. Page 354 of the user manual asks users to call a service department for 12V battery access information. It should be at least four or five years before any owner needs to make that call.

Traded in our X5 Plug in hybrid for this, and are generally very happy. I do wish BMW had engineered it to have a frunk, it seems odd they used up the entire 'engine compartment' for EV components.

[@user-gy7cy2it4p]

One of the best reviews I have ever seen. You rock! I have a 2024 IX M60, and I wish I had waited for the 2025 model year, which is already available in Europe and as early as March 2024 in the U.S. The 2025 receives the new M-style steering wheel and dark accents for the interior instead of gold and bronze. Carbon fiber trim for the M60 would have been nice! I do agree with you, we do need that trailer hitch. It is often hard to put the kid's bike in the back. I also wished the range was better. So far, I am very disappointed with the range and the charging time. I hate the fact that BMW and other automakers get away with the "up to" range. What does that mean? I also wished they had the rear window sunshade. All my other BMW SAVs had them. One would think that for a special car like IX SAV they would have one.

This is one of the best and detail review. Is it true that the hood can only be opened by the BMW dealer? I am attractive with the interior and the ride but not on the exterior. The iX exterior looks like a conversion of ICE to EV. The EV does not need large ugly grill. I will wait for the next generation of iX to purchase one. I also want to know how reliable is the iX?

[@MissGoElectric]

Much like the Mercedes EQS, the space beneath the iX hood is meant to be accessible to service teams only.

[@SeattleNoname]

I didn't get one thing: - this lady says BMW has ended delivery for US. I had placed my order back in April, so will my order take its place to get delivered from Germany?

[@MissGoElectric]

The European delivery program has been discontinued in the US. If you want to travel to Germany and have the experience of taking delivery at BMW's facility there, it is no longer offered to US buyers. Your vehicle will be shipped from Germany and sent to your dealer so you can take delivery there or you could have selected to take delivery at the Performance Center in South Carolina which includes museum and factory tours, plus track experience with a vehicle similar to the one you optioned for. It is a program BMW buyers have been familiar with for many years but now is not an option. This doesn't mean you won't be able to take delivery at all.. just specifically in Europe.

[@PapaDougsAdventures01]

Very Nice Review. I’ve owned many BMW’s and this one looks as full featured as the best of the ones I’ve had. The experience I had with the most technology heavy one, 2002 745i was not good. The dealer had the car more than I did. I had the first one my dealer had received and it was $85k. Not sure I would run out and get the first year of this car but I’d want to.

Between the wide black bands around the rear and the big nose, I am conflicted about this design, to say the least. At 100 large with everything, except I would lose the old school Volvo glass interior pieces and the wood, which IMO so doesn't go with the futuristic and technological accomplishment of this vehicle, I would have to take a pass based on exterior beauty, or lack thereof.

[@maexxx80]

@@MissGoElectric thats an interesting statement. Which is true only at most if you go with EPA rating, something where Tesla notoriously underdelivers against and BMW overdelivers against. From most data available, the BMW ix 50 is more efficient than Model X. Here some data: WLTP - Model X has a rated consumption of 344 WH/mi, BMW ix 50 is 319 WH/mi rated consumpion (thats TEL); Edmunds measured 35 kWh / 100mi for Model X (long range), 32 kWh / 100 mi for the BMW ix 50

[@MissGoElectric]

We do rely upon the United States Environmental Protection Agency efficiency ratings here in the United States. Model X LR is rated at 351mi and the lowest power iX is rated at 324. The figures you have posted are also inconsistent with our findings on a stock 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range (not plaid) with 20" wheels. Model X goes further with a much smaller battery. We agree with Autoguide when they said: "Those after the ultimate all-electric experience where performance and efficiency are concerned may lean towards the Model X for its superior range, power output, energy efficiency and interior volume." www.autoguide.com/car-comparisons/bmw-ix-vs-tesla-model-x-which-ev-suv-hits-the-mark

They finally got their way and sealed the hood shut. You no longer have access to your own cars inner workings. Unbelievable. Only the dealership does! Wow. Talk about control.

[@MissGoElectric]

Access is a Google search away. The electrocution risk outweighs my curiosity, but people will still get in there like they have with Mercedes EQS.

Kinda triggred how BMW calling their SUV's "S-A-V".....

[@MissGoElectric]

If it were built on a truck frame or had a hitch receiver, I'd also prefer the word "utility" instead of "activity".

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I don't like it. Plus, they're not even SUVs. They're all "crossovers." There are few SUVs sold on the market.

2014 BMW i3 - 124 MPGe 2022 Bmw i(x) - 86 MPGe Not sure how this can be considered a best buy or even something a manufacturer would even do.

[@MissGoElectric]

This is not an i4 and is much larger and more capable than an i3, but it is a good idea to consider the factors which matter most to you.

[@nosoupforyou425]

@@MissGoElectric was pointing out that BMW does not care about efficiency or making a competitive product..... And that matters most to most. But will correct the typo from i4 to ix - data is correct

Dumb take. Different vehicles. Compare it to it's competition and how it drives.

[@nosoupforyou425]

@@kkgolf5371 dumb take.... Same manufacturer not learning from its own damn lessons. SMH as it's competition kills it; all better looking and have better range. But hey, a negative 34MPGe is just acceptable nonsense when a consumer is a swift as your post. How is that working out for iX sales anyway compared to its competitors? LOL 😆

[@kkgolf5371]

@@nosoupforyou425 You make no sense. The BMW is abetter car than a Model Y. It is a better deal than a Model X. It rides better than anything in it's class so far. Look at the reviews. It is better than Audi and Mercedes electric SUV. I drove it 2 times in the last week and it is a great car. I can guarantee you have not driven it yet still manage to try to trash it because of efficiency. A luxury SUV is not efficient car get it through your head. How do the X5, Q7 GLE do on gas?

We own two Teslas including a 2022 Model Y LR. The efficiency, range, power, and charging experience are excellent. The cabin luxury is not near the level of the BMW iX. We have not yet had any interaction with the BMW iX1 EV and do not have an informed opinion to offer.

That grill 🤢

[@MissGoElectric]

It's a big grille

[@johnsavage6628]

Christ! $80 to $100 grand? Are you nuts? The insurance will be through the roof! And will you look at the ugly front end! It's an EV! It doesn't need a front grill! Clearly some people have a lot of money to throw away on a car!

[@MissGoElectric]

You are right that this is not an economy car. We review eMobility products across price ranges.

[@kkgolf5371]

Yes it needs a grill to hide all the driver systems and insurance is less than my 2020 MDX. EVs are cheaper than their gas counterparts but what would you know. 80-100k is on point. You want a Model X it is 116,70 for a base model!

[@tomm7854]

Maybe this is a fluke, but my insurance will be the same as for my Mercedes S.

The Grill is ugly!!! I wish this would stop. ever since this grill came out the brand has been going down. They keep doubling down on it while other brands are taking customers stop the bleeding and get rid of this grill
