BMW IX1 Review: Watch this BEFORE you GET ONE!

[@SuperDougal22]

Good review and very fair. I've had mine for a year. Lots more pros than cons. After a couple of weeks I didn't miss the rotary dial on the iDrive, it's easy to adapt. Range is very good even in winter but you really do need a home charger. Performance is excellent.

Thanks for your feedback. First foray into EV and considering this model as I’d like a premium SUV. Have you considered Q4. Wondering how much home charging makes a difference. Don’t have one but can get it fitted.

@@amitavraja3385 You definitely need a home charger. We have Ohme fitted and it charges the car on a cheap rate overnight 11:30pm-5:30am and can fill it up from 25% to 100% for about £5. I've had the car over a year and have never had to charge it away from home in the UK. Don't listen to what people say about range - modern EVs are not nearly as affected by cold weather as first generation were and the stated range of 260 miles is not far off the mark. It's also worth noting that every petrol car ever made has had "theoretical" over-blown MPG figures touted in adverts. This is nothing new. As for the Audi, I would definitely consider that but also the Polestar range and the reasonably priced extended range MGs.

Thinking about this under mobility scheme. My first EV so a bit apprehensive😮 Normal X1 is not available under the scheme and had always wanted a premium mid/compact SUV.

It’s a great choice for a first EV, if you have any questions drop me a message and we’d be happy to answer!

I have ordered one. But there are some huge issues. For me i lost interest when the presenter opens the useless center console and claims "nice bit of storage here", then next sentence "not big enough to fit your phone. And on top of this hard to get to the area below. Say it as it is The center console is utterly crap, no packing it in. It should have been a closed box that could hide and store many items. Probably the single most stupid design of the car. besides the micro battery they put in it. BUT there are good things with the car as well. But please call out the crap when it is crap, likewise for the good stuff, responsive entertainment etc. Being honest in your reviews is the only way to grow your audience.

Why oh why with the grill. it's such an ugly grill. They should have made that much more subtle for sure.
