Wow, what a brilliant presentation and review of the new iX1 👍 very informative, detailed, balanced and with some great tips and advice!! 🙂 I’ve just subscribed please keep up the great work!! 👍 I just got a new i4 and I’m absolutely blown away it’s the best car with out question I’ve ever owned. It’s very interesting to see the differences between the two operating systems over these two amazing cars. It’s funny there are some great features that you have on the iX1 e.g augmented reality feature with directional arrows.. I don’t have that!! (( But I prefer the familiarity of the idrive wheel.. ;) great video, really enjoyed!! Best regards from Yorkshire, UK ✅

Tack så mycket for the review!!! I used to live in Stockholm for 1 year :( my sister is a psychiatrist in Stockholm. Now I am in Gold Coast, waiting for delivery ix1 for my wife, now she is driving a Lexus NX300 hybrid, a good car, but to buy a new Lexus NX300, you need to wait for 2 years. Next month we are moving to a new house with solar panels, it is one of the reasons for buying an electric car and particularly a BMW because no choice for an SUV at this price. I got the price of my ix1 with M Package 56 500 euro with 19 inches wheels. I like Tesla, but I don't like the quality after Lexus. My colleague owner of the Hyundai ionic is a really good car, but not an SUV. He has Tesla M3 Performance as well, and he mentioned that Hyundai has much better quality and much silence. Actually in Australia Tesla is sitting 3 places in sales among all cars 😮

Congratulations on the first full review of the iX1 as far as I know. I also took delivery of an iX1 almost 2 months ago in France and I agree with most of your observations, eg the steering, I would go one step further and say it’s more Merc than BMW but the upside is it’s more relaxing as you said. I hope they can improve the feel with a software update, do you think that is possible ? It’s put together well but I'm not a fan of some of the finish, the rear net above the seats (made in China in big print) looks like an after-market item from Ali Express and the parcel shelf is the most flimsy since my old Hyundai i10. Your car is fully equipped so you will have been stung for some of the items that should be standard on an SUV like the roofrails at €310, €400 to activate the heated seats & €800+for Driving Assist. They’re built in at production, we paid €2300 extra to have the opportunity to pay yet more 😢& finally enjoy them. I can’t see this idea catching on BMW so don’t be so mean ! It’s a very good car 😊and it could easily be one of BMW's greatest.

@swede-365 Жыл бұрын
I agree with all you write. Heated seats are standard in Sweden, otherwise they should not sell one single car here 😂 The steering might be possible to change with software but I don’t think they will do it because I think this is the way BMW want it to be. If not it would be to sporty for a lot of customers.

Hi, thanks for this very informative & good 'user report'! I'm still unsure about the maintenance of the frozen paint but what you said about just performing regular wash-routine made me think more positive about it :) Just a related questions: do you ever go to a automatic car-wash with this car? Do you notice light swirl-marks of less than on a regular paint?

Only hand wash for me because almost all automatic car-wash use wax or polish in some way. The matte color hides swirl-marks and small scratches better than glossy in my opinion.

Wanted to give an update about the consumption Without Aircon heating , which has great impact on the battery, the consumption is really good. In normal city speed, it is between 14 to 17 kW/100 km. So I would expect to get more than WLTP range in the summer. These figures are not including aggresive accelerations. With heating turned on, I would see huge increase in the consumption, some where between 20 to 26 kW/100 km.

I find car charging very good. I think you judged it too harshly. The battery only has 64 kWh, so it can't charge noticeably faster. The battery heating works very well, in sub-zero temperatures it reaches over 130 kW, which is important for a very long time over 120 kW. Of course, the battery could be bigger, but the car would also have to be bigger. It's just a compact SUV. Personally, I think that when it comes to the battery and its charging, it is very good here. Plus you have 22kW AC which is a great deal. He uses it often.

22 kW AC is an option in Sweden and quite expensive, 1000 Euro. Compared to many other new cars like Kia, Hyundai and Audi the charging speed is not that impressive. The iX1 is a brand new model for 2023 and then I think we could expect better. The same also for range. Polestar 2 which is about the same size has 635 km range now.

Thanks for another great video both in terms of content and structure, but also in terms of how it has been embellished with various digital enhancements and pointers during the presentation. Just one thing. I was surprised when at the end of the "Handling and Performance" section you only gave it a 4 out of 5, when you throughout that particular section were in constant praise of it. I was expecting a 5 out of 5. I suppose what makes it difficult when making these reviews is whether to compare the car "relatively" with the likes of e.g. AUDI Q4, Mercedes GLE etc. or "absolutely" with EVs like the iX, Jaguar iPace etc. In this case, as regards the "Handling and Perfrmance" section I found it a mixture of the two. It is afterall a cheapish (in BMW terms) entry-level family car, and I personally find it up at "the top of the pile". However, all in all it was a really good and informative video. Thanks for that.

It’s always difficult as I relate to other cars I owned. This is Porsche 718 spyder, Audi RS E-Tron GT, BMW Z4 M40i and many others. But for a 5 it should have had a little more punch when it comes to acceleration.

I had a test drive of this yesterday. Beautiful car for the package but for AU$101,000 it's a hard sell. A bit of an unfair comparison I know, but I'm coming from a deisel XC90 so used to much more space and little touches. But I have to say that space was really the only major downside. This car doesn't feel like an entry level vehicle with the materials and design. But damn electric cars are just too much brand new at the moment. Maybe I'll wait a year and buy it used.

Yes the cars from BMW are expensive, 22kW AC charging costs extra and the battery has 64.7kWh only. But that is no a surprise and well known. The car is just not a Polestar 2/Genessis GV60. To whom these things are important, should keep their hands off the iX1. I find the 22kW AC charger a super investment, since I practically always charge at home or at the workplace, DC charging rarely occurs and then only for 15-25 minutes. Therefore, yes, faster DC charging and a larger battery would be nice but is not crucial for many of us.

@swede-365 Жыл бұрын
It’s all a matter of personal opinions and needs. I often use DC charging and also range is affected by the cold weather in Sweden. I of course knew this before I bought it and accepted this but I think it’s worth mentioning both good and less good things with the car. I try to be so objective as possible and then everyone must make their own conclusions depending of what’s important for them.

@@swede-365 I think the review is well over all. A good review should show strengths and weaknesses, I only find the subjective evaluation of the facts not purposeful when you do not mention the context in the video "I often use DC charging and also range is affected by the cold weather in Sweden.". I am driving the ix1 in Switzerland (last week in the Engadine at -9 degrees) and have therefore chosen winter wheels with the dimension 205/65 with 17 inch and have also waived the glass roof because of the extra weight... I get an average consumption of 17.7kWh. You can't have everything. Fat wheels, heavy accessories and extended winter range.

compared to the polestar 2 the twin motor ix1 is nominally as efficient as the single motor polestars, and much better than the dual motor models. But polestar have just refreshed their batteries and so can compensate for the inefficient twin motor-and/or give better range. Maybe BMW will follow with a single motor model and something with longer range. But first I'd like them to ship the one I ordered in October.
