BMW iX1 acceleration, braking and noise test

[@jasonblair4057]

This is a very good result for an “entry” level BMW. Looks like they have figured out the shared platform for ice & ev.

[@lovethytuber4770]

Would be interesting to see how the numbers come out in summer on 19" or 20" wheels but in any case I'm really hyped about the iX1.

[@basjennen1419]

Is it possible to download the excel sheet somewhere?

[@DashDrones]

That braking is amazing 😮

[@MM-tt7hy]

I really like my iX1. One thing they should change though is that, if you press boost while standing still in front of a red light, it will still do a countdown even though you’re not moving. It would be better if you could activate boost, but the countdown would begin when moving. Like some sort of launch control.

Bros it a family orientated car, not an M3 😂

[@MM-tt7hy]

@@YZFMANIAC08 how is that relevant. The boost mode is to get the maximum power from the car. Whats the point of a boost counting down when youre in standstill. On a sidenote, as someone who frequently drives an M4 Competition Xdrive, I must say the iX1 has quite some power for a family car. 313hp and 495nm in torque is nothing to be ashamed of.

@@MM-tt7hy as I said, drive the m4 if you want all the fancy F1-tech

60k entry level hahaha love u Bjorn

[@TunekoLtd]

Why not version with 205/65r17 tires?

[@MichiDiavel]

2 seconds slower without the Boost Mode? I think you mean 0.2 seconds...?

[@flyborgify]

I want one

[@al21kirkland_-cc8th]

Hi Bjorn, can you comment the seat comfort during long drive?

[@timoliver8940]

Will have to look at this or the forthcoming Mini Countryman EV when my current Mini S E’s lease ends. I’ve really liked my Mini, it’s small battery has never been a problem for me as I use it as a car for short journeys anyway, longest run is 80 miles round trip so I don’t need anything bigger/heavier BUT the next Mini hatch EV will be imported from China and I try not to support China’s take over of the world by stealth. I do have 2023 diesel Land Rover for longer journeys and off-road stuff.

[@latlak]

you realize your smartphone, tv, fridge etc. all have parts from china?

[@o4fcartex]

Hey Bjørn, do you check the weight of the cars on a scale or is it from the manufacturer details?

Can you squeeze in one 0-100 @ 20-10% SoC? The whole 10% steps are too much work, but low SoC is important i dont drive that often with 80% and above. I just had a ID3 and @ 20% SoC it felt way more sluggish than my Megane e-tech.

[@pietruszka2194]

This is BMW, there is no slowdown here.

[@RetrospillBlogspotNO]

Jeg tror jeg så deg på E16 om natta når du gjorde testen, håpet du filmet ut vinduet som vanlig så jeg ble Internett famous 😂

[@vaddoc]

It is pretty quiet but not as i4 which is whisper quiet

[@JK-gv1dp]

Sounds like an electric train. And also needs as much space to stop as a train 😉 Did I see 45m? I would love to have one of these 😀

[@chickenp7038]

i hate the whole boost thing.

[@bjornnyland]

Why?

[@Kevin.BTCChina]

Its a silly gimmick in my opinion

[@pietruszka2194]

In Sport mode you don't need to boost.

[@raymondpritchard]

I agree - pure gimmick that serves no purpose. The same level of power should be available at all times; simply press the accelerator, like a normal EV

[@chickenp7038]

@@pietruszka2194 why do i need to boost in the first place? there is no valid reason for this
