Great review! Thanks.

Right hand drive for the win with that gear stick

[@automatix5]

i guess it's inverted for right hand drive

[@shikoku14]

@@automatix5 you’d think but I just did a google image search and although the I drive inverts the direction you seem to push the stick into B is away from the driver (same as to switch to manual mode in my old 10 year old 3 series auto was)

[@heikobratke919]

An often underrated electric car that shows really a lot of good sites in daily life. Take a look at the Norwegian range tests!

[@karl-heinzoehling483]

Hi Chris, what I already appreciated about my i3's was the remote app. VW could take an example here. That's what I miss most about my ID.3. From my point of view, the iX3 has worked quite well for an IC derivation, but it still has too little range. Unfortunately, BWM will not bring its own EV platform until 2025 - very late. Unfortunately there won't be an M version of the iX3, then you would have endless fun with the driving dynamics.

The other flap under the bonnet is for the brake fluid

For you to get the best for Harman Kardon sound system you need to use high bitrate music, and too little twitch, I have it done in my car and no one person is not blown with a sound that speakers can make, crystal clear, punchy sound, with good bass (not woofer, bass) But, sadly, by default is no that good, and there is no single word about sound quality you need to get to have a better sound experience. I have been disappointed few months too, then I decide to look for answers, play with everything and now I'm more than satisfied. I listen to pop, rock, house music, most of the time.

[@mattperkins1992]

Are the seats brown?

[@BatteryLife]

yes

[@Aizman87]

Must be something wrong with the steering om the car you drove because if there is one thing i love about the ix3 its the steering which is soo precise compared to other cars. For example etron and even tesla model 3 dont have that awesome steeringfeel that Bmw is known for. ❤

[@BatteryLife]

It is taste. And Tesla has horrible steering feel.

I love your channel and your reviews but I find it odd that you didn't do much with Tesla Model 3's. You did complain about rear visibility but you get use to that quite quickly and you also complained about too much power but there is "chill mode" if you want less... Please do a full review of the model 3 or model Y as your reviews are the best! I would have bought an ID3 if they were out earlier as I thought it would have fitted better with my needs, but I have grown to love the model 3, even with its idiosyncrasy's as it drives so well...

[@BatteryLife]

Nobody is giving me a Tesla Model 3! That is the problem. Other carmakers give me a car to test. tesla does not. So I have to rent one and pay for it.

[@ksmith660]

@@BatteryLife You could use my one but I'm not allowed into Germany at the moment... plus its right hand drive! Maybe some kind local will lend you theirs...

[@timmurphy5541]

How many more Model 3 reviews does the world need?

[@troop73oo]

I'm sure its a nice well built car, but it also looks like a lazy car from BMW. Just stick a electric motor in an x3, that'll do.

[@brecherxp9795]

Wieso nur Tesla darauf kommt, dass Autoschlüssel 2021 so cool sind wie ein Scheisshaus im Garten, entzieht sich meiner Erkenntnis, wundert mich aber nicht.

[@pqvid]

Der iX3 unterstützt den Digital Car Key über NFC - damit kann man ein iPhone oder eine Apple Watch als Schlüssel nutzen

[@BatteryLife]

Weil nicht jeder Telefon oder Karten benutzen will.

[@deurkl]

As it's made in China, I would be less inclined to buy this car, I don't want to support this outsourcing of European jobs.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

I don't think any X3 from F25 generation has been made in Europe, they are all made in USA. You may recall Trump mentioned BMW saying he wanted to ban imported cars, then he was told the US is a net exporter of BMW because of the Carolina plant where they make X3/4/5/6.

[@rj7855]

@@rhiantaylor3446 The first-generation X3 was designed by BMW in conjunction with Magna Steyr of Graz, Austria-who also manufactured all X3s under contract to BMW. BMW manufactured the second-generation X3 at their Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, United States. The third-generation of the BMW X3 is manufactured at BMW South Africa's Rosslyn plant

[@abraxastulammo9940]

USA dealers flat out refused this China car. 😳

[@steveevans2703]

Whatever you typed your comment on was probably made in China. Assembly is relatively low margin. What counts is where it was designed.

[@pqvid]

There’s still quite a large amount of parts made in Germany or other EU countries. The final assembly is in China, yes - but that doesn’t mean this is a “Chinese car”.

[@kevinwalton4538]

Looks a good EV in “operation and drivability “ but the external styling is a) An SUV , b) 10 years old, c) The aerodynamics of a house brick. Shame , but thanks Chris.

[@BHBeckenbauer]

The exterior design is 4 years old, not 10. It will be updated in august. And yes it’s an SUV… that’s the idea

[@tomquimby8669]

RWD summer car. pointless!

[@rj7855]

for the majority of people RWD in winter is not a problem.

[@tomquimby8669]

@@rj7855 I agree they leave their RWD in the garage and take a FWD or All wheel drive out with winter tyres fitted

[@tomquimby8669]

@@abraxastulammo9940 Since the MEB has only been configured as RWD and All wheel drive how would you know?

[@rj7855]

@@tomquimby8669 In your local area maybe but most people tend to live in warmer climates where winter tyres are not needed and all season or even summer tyres are most common. Personally I saw snow on the road twice the last 20 years.
