Chris, I never thought I’d say this but I WANT THIS CAR

[@timmurphy5541]

I hope this means you are ok and far away from any floods.

NAF in Norway (the same like ADAC in Deutschland) They test the same car in normal Norwegian roadtrip. They use 13.3 KWh at 100 Km at summer. Nearly the same that i use in my BMW i3 120ah. Impressive!!!! They also drive the same car from 100% to 0%. 556,2 Km At winther test. 17,0 KWh at 100 Km. 100% to 0% = 432Km Ok my friends in Deutschland, again you made a fantastic car!! :)

[@HelloMyFriend_]

But at what speed?

[@MrFabianschmidt]

@@HelloMyFriend_ Unfortunately, the test does not show a map. But Norwegian country roads have a normal speed of 80 Km/h. It was also good summer weather on this test. So I would assume that the average speed must have been around 70 Km/h. I send you a link under here to NAF motor web site. Maybe you can translate at Google to your language?! motor.no/elbil/motors-rekkeviddetest-av-elbiler-sommer-2021-direkte/199348

@@MrFabianschmidt thanks (tak)

I am getting 18.6 kWh/100km in city driving, over 3000km so far. 30 Celsius weather as its summer in Sydney.

[@goloryan]

The GOM is adjusted according to your navigation. In your case the range is calculated by highway speed to the destination.

[@BatteryLife]

thanks. I would prefer if it would take the consumption I had in the last 10km for the GOM. Not something it thinks I am doing.

[@outdoorolli5754]

@@BatteryLife, well obviously you WILL go slower, if you doubt about making it to the next charging point. And: Even if range is 0 you will be able to travel another about another 20 kms.

[@karl-heinzoehling483]

Hi Chris, the range forecast was already very unsatisfactory in the i3, as BMW always takes 130km/h into account as the recommended motorway speed in the range forecast. So if someone drives less than 130km/h on the BAB, the BMW shows too little range. Actual consumption is taken into account in the app.

[@BatteryLife]

Thanks. That is not good though.

[@user-qd3ig6dl8l]

You can ask for the battery status and it will reply with a percentage and estimated range

[@ronb4633]

HUD is very nice, graphs are good. The GOM is so random I could never trust it. Estimated range is very important so BMW needs to fix soon! That’s quite the insult to say that the Fiat 500 is more important! I understand what you mean, but still kinda rough to put that in the first minute of the BMW video.

[@martink.9442]

Optisch für einen BMW total Grausam. Aber das ist wohl eines der am meisten unterschätzen E Autos das vieles besser kann als seine Kritiker an ihm herum meckern. Das Head up Display ist der Hammer.

[@karl-heinzoehling483]

BMW ist ja auch einer der ersten die HUD angeboten haben und sehr viel Erfahrung damit haben. Trotz der "alten X3-Basis", zeigt der Gen5-Antrieb das Potential und den vom i3 weiterentwickelter Antriebsstrang mit dem sehr niedrigen Stromverbrauch. Erst, wenn das "Scheunentor" des iX3-SUVs bei höheren Geschwindigkeiten >110km/h bewegt wird, dann schmilzt die Reichweite extrem ab. Bin gespannt, wie sich der i4 schlägt, der dürfte schon dem Model 3 in Sachen Reichweite und Fahrdynamik Konkurrenz machen.

[@richard--s]

just a joke: When you are sweating in your sweater, it did what it's supposed to do ;-)

[@mark48888]

what size wheels?

[@ricardograde5134]

Yes, BMW is a mess calculating range. I just know the medium consumption, dividid by battery size and it’s spot on. How it’s possible BMW can’t calculate this???? RIDICULOUS… Beside that, great review… 👍 as usually.

[@IrenESorius]

⭐!

[@willielarsson9651]

I've had the car a year, its developed a charging fault that BMW appear not in the least interested in. The customer service is absolutely awful and the range is so poor. At this point in time, I'm 50% charged and I have about 80 miles range. Really disappointed, I wish I'd gone for the Kia iqoniq

[@BatteryLife]

Your service centre does not help.

[@willielarsson9651]

@@BatteryLife in November when I phoned up BMW, they gave me January appointment, nothing sooner. I've called loads of numbers and no one is interested.

[@Aizman87]

Wow ix3 is just amazingly efficient! Tesla go home!😀

[@dumitricamarian4021]

you dropped the ioniq5 tests, I guess you don't like it or you have something against it

[@BatteryLife]

No, i don't get it easy. I was only allowed 4 hours with it so far.

[@arnold_2523]

Ioniq5 (eGMP) shows painly how moderate the german EV development is.

[@jaz4280]

@@BatteryLife unfortunately, you tested the car in the most horrible weather conditions.

[@arnold_2523]

Nice drivetrain but not groundbreaking for a new 2021 EV. The car itself looks if its 10 years old 🤦‍♂️

[@tacobell2582]

noob

[@timhohmann9652]

... solely made in China.

[@karl-heinzoehling483]

... but German development work and mainly intended for the Chinese market. In addition, the Chinese plant (Brilliance) still has capacities.
