A year later; I'm buying this car today because of this video. Best car reviews on interwebs!

[@davidp2888]

That can't be a BMW. The turn signals work! LOL

[@johnstone4790]

I have an BMW ix M60 I’ve had it for six months. I always had petrol performance cars before but I find this car so comfortable. I’m getting on a bit. And getting out of the Porsche was a pain but this car is just amazing. It’s a Bentley one minute and a Ferrari the next handling never ceases to amaze, but you have to try one for a few days, it took me around 3 weeks to get my settings right and be able to use it properly, I did try a Tesla 3 performance for a couple of months it’s a pretty cars but cheap build and my girlfriend was very scared of the phantom braking that happened frequently

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing that great ownership experience!

[@alexkaka7197]

Yea, i went to the dealer and asked them to open the hood and was told I would need to pay diagnostic charge 😂. I was like , u r kidding me

[@Kilaueaorph4n]

'How much you want to swap the signature BMW kidney grille for chipmunk teeth?' 'YES'

[@RaitisRides]

LOL BINGO Paul!

[@wendyjenkins1559]

😂😂😂😂😂👊

[@johnnyViDeO]

Not a kidney grill. A vagina grill.

[@fyahpower]

😂 good one

[@rl6210]

You mean buck teeth ?

[@Uofmdoc]

Edsel anyone ? Couldn’t have made it more grotesque if they tried.

[@RaitisRides]

You nailed it!

[@tonyn3227]

But hey did,

[@BlancoRamirez]

As a bmw tech, it isn’t hard to open up the hood. There straps on both sides of the interior under the dash.

[@dxnes5067]

cadillac lyriq >>>>

[@night5091]

I checked one out, interior is nice. One looked at was $117k. Not what I buy for the $.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your experience on the is BMW.

[@Imprisoned1995]

I'm buying a GT500 for 100k

[@doyoulikecrystalgel]

I'm not spending 6 figures on a car that won't start in the cold, or in florida heat. Not just that, but 6 figures for a car that doesn't have a nice flat 6 or 8cyl noise? LOL no. I'm going gt350 and an elantra N at that price point.

[@YourBoiRomeo]

If I am going to spend that level of money, I need to be able to open the trunk on my own rather than being inconvenienced of having to go to the dealer and pay extra fees. That is a complete deal breaker!

[@carltongass6584]

The windshield fluid reservoir is accessed by pressing the BMW badge on the front of the hood. Press on it and it springs open. The hood is easily released by pulling the drawstring under the dash on the driver's side and the drawstring on the passenger side. However, there is probably no need to open it because there is zero storage space under the hood. It's all motor, etc., and one would probably need a BMW mechanic to do work on it.

[@JahCm]

Exactly

[@MauriceBln1]

It's so quiet, you don't hear any wind noise or anything. I like this. iX looks great from behind.

[@stellantistom6881]

Happy Friday Joe! BMW Time!

[@RaitisRides]

Hey Tom! Happy Friday to you! Let's go ON THROTTLE!

[@stellantistom6881]

@@RaitisRides ;D

[@Griffinex]

The Mercedes EV you did a while back it also has the same problem; not being able to open the front mounted trunk

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very correct!

[@JahCm]

It’s not a problem. Why would you need to open it? And, you can open it.

[@wendyjenkins6076]

There batman lights 😂😂😂😂i dont like electric big handkerchief for the big noozle 😂😂you said it 😂😂😂😂good video 👊

[@RaitisRides]

You are awesome man!

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my only BMW EV to get it Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

Sounds like a plan Jeremiah!

[@kinghill500]

Nice color 😁

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you like it!

[@sporla3]

I have an IX 50 sitting at the port right now. It will hopefully make it to the dealer soon. Same color as this one. About 10K cheaper than the IX M60. There is a way to open the hood but there is no need.

[@dieuvensonjasmin5222]

Waouh jolie voiture

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for watching!

[@banzaibadger]

Car makers really need to stop adding the low rear wiper.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right!

[@murrynathan]

That front end looks like Pumba from Lion King!

[@dieuvensonjasmin5222]

Ma voiture préférée c'est le Mercedes avatar 👍👍😎😎😎😎

[@RaitisRides]

That is totally understandable.

[@chuckkerber4735]

Love BMWs, just wish they were GOOD cars. Great review.

[@AP90x]

So I assume i can’t change my windshield fluid unless i go to bmw. There is probably some hack to get into the program to open the hood though

[@iLikeTigerz101]

You open up the bmw badge and a hole will appear for you to get access to putting the fluid in.

[@wendyjenkins6076]

Thank you Lori ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SHANTANUBHARGAVA62]

It kinda looked like a hatchback not a suv😅

[@mattmekhaeil]

That simulated lung shaped grille has to go. Makes the front end look so ugly. At least make it look smaller and attractive. On the inside really nice upscale interior

[@RaitisRides]

You hit the nail on the head!

[@antant519]

If the front compartment of the BMW can’t be opened, how can you access the windshield wiper fluid reservoir?

[@carltongass6584]

The windshield fluid reservoir is accessed by pressing the BMW badge on the front of the hood. Press on it and it springs open. Incidentally, the hood is easily released by pulling the drawstring under the dash on the driver's side and the drawstring on the passenger side. However, there is probably no need to open it because there is zero storage space under the hood. It's all motor, etc., and one would probably need a BMW mechanic to do work on it.

[@leonardferguson8413]

RADIANT HEATING COMES FROM THAT CLOTH MATERIAL UNDER THE DASH👍🏾👍🏾

[@mystictk4149]

I love BMW and the designs they’ve been putting I’ve liked but sometimes like this it’s a weird design at least the front face is.

[@leeseverson45]

Luv the grill. When camera pans in & out it looks like cats eyes.

[@gethecar]

What's this subscription stuff? I pay for the vehicle and have to pay a subscription to use it? I don't see BMW being around for very long if that's what they're doing.

[@jeanpierre6484]

Hey Joe, I haven’t looked at performance for their SUV’s but is this also faster than their new XM?

[@newsmedia-one9756]

I will just go with an X7 or a lyric. This is not worth the money. It’s a nice SUV however. As always Great review , Joe!👌🏾❤

[@pfwww12]

I'm about to buy a new infotainment system for my car. You can buy these screens a nice price now adays

[@FadyDizzle]

Waiting on your Lyriq review. Cross shopping it with the iX 50

[@omarcortes5754]

This is a great SUV but I would go M5 M.

[@RaitisRides]

All day long!

[@alanklaus7774]

Nice review as usual. In answer to your questions- no-no and heck no. So much for the ultimate driving machine.

[@tebec3624]

Love the honeycomb ‘schnoz”! I saw an ad for what looked like a futuristic BMW so I came over to your channel to see if you had a review. I’m even more impressed now. The giggles don’t lie so I feel confident that this surpassed the X5 45E that I was so in love with! Great review (ps. how many croissants and éclaires can I fit in the door pockets?)

[@antoniocail5608]

Very Very nice Joe you plan on reviewing the 2023 2024 BMW I7 excellent video 📹

[@jankieseebaran6563]

I jus love how u never forget to add twinkies 😂

[@stevenmartin2070]

Can you not do the average middle class price range. ? I asked you several times the BMWX1. And you say you will try that was a few months ago.

[@QuietStormX]

What's with the camera view overhead? You got a sliver of the front windshield it was hard to watch the view of the road or dash or view on interior seats. I hate you got the camera stuck to the overhead glass with no shade or cover at night from lights and tall trees going bye.... ;-( I'd skip the overhead glass no shade or cover... X6M for Me!

[@dominickirkwood]

I love it Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the great work real true and I love the video lot real true 👍 💯💯💯💯

[@PlayafromtheHimalayas]

The halos were iconic, for a good reason. Now those front ends look like a beaver escaped from Chernobyl and is threatening to gnaw every vehicle on the road.

[@AcuraChannel]

Nice review..I missed this one.. I ran across one yesterday who wanted to test my Acura Performance with a quick roll race... Its a fast SUV for sure. I believe this one is faster than the XM.

[@khadijadickens5378]

I just want an X5

[@coachmaupin201]

Happy Friday. Great work as always

[@josephwilson6693]

Love it. Picking one up on Sat.

[@nevillejames2200]

Greta review. Love the detail and you covered a lot that others missed. I do like the vehicle, but the price 😮. Also that some of the features are on subscription 🤔

[@ahmadi50]

Habibi Joe Huge fans from Iraq 🇮🇶.

[@worldstarhiphoptapes2616]

Can you do w205 Mercedes C300 vs the new W206

[@PaFurGarage]

Thanks for the Video, Joe! I have this exact color on order but with black interior. It’s been at the port for about a month. I agree way to much gloss black on the outside.

[@billnicholas1381]

Was that hard plastic on the front seat backs for another zonk and what about no spare tire?

[@jackking5631]

Bmw has some good lease deal on m60 now, might trade in my MS long range for it. Interior is so much better than s/x. My only complaint is a missing trunk.

[@RyanDoonan]

I work in a bmw dealership and we have one in the show room but do love the x5

[@mikesowell7969]

When the wiper is placed on top it does look better. Joe, do you think the manufacturers who put the wiper on the bottom do it because if it’s on top it may create a larger blind spot for the driver where it’s left un wiped?

[@bradenkun]

I really don’t like the side profiles I think it’s really clunky and looks kinda like a Nissan but I like the grille personally

[@nethook5588]

I have 2018 X3 and in few years I’ll be getting this for sure! I love how electric cars drives, so much better than gas engine!

[@sonalmalhotra07]

Nice Video Joe. Some how I like the traditional SUV still. Great job though.

[@Bronzeback8]

How does this compare to a Model X Plaid?

[@brianchristopher8348]

Likely getting this after X6M lease is up in a few months after dealer gave me one as a loaner for a couple of days. Ride is so much better in iX M60. My 2.5 year old X6 feels so old and heavy now despite similar HP. Looking forward to about $15K annual savings on insurance, tires, gas and payments. This iX has non-staggeered tires so I hope I can rotate them in lieu of new tires 2x year. IX is ugly yes, but I didn't notice when I was on inside enjoying ride. B&W in iX also blows B&W in X6M away.

[@nikalayeu]

Can’t wait to see the door panels review!!!???

[@josedesanmartin6234]

Can u test Maserati Ghibli Trofeo again please?

[@jesse1008]

Love this !

[@farukiliyasu6680]

Ix is a great car

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Maybe one day, I try to buy this EV SUV Joe.

[@Cobra_460]

Great review Raiti’s rides 😊 I would go x5 m competition in red

[@justrandom7752]

Tbh since it’s a BMW I understand the the fake grill design. However they could’ve gone a completely different way and kept the BMW style. Personally I would’ve removed it and made it out like a Tesla completely. While keeping everything else just without the grill and added added the fake vents next to the headlights

[@mason5540]

Can we get an off-road test drive please?

[@Eric_Milt]

I’m questioning my self. If I prefer a Pontiac Aztec or Chryslers Sebring lol😂 Not a very well proportioned design. The lights traitement is very generic. I do not see a BMW . But at least we can count on Joe for some On Throttle action ! ON THROTTLE !!! Weee

[@TheSuper202]

this moster is a chest puller .... Figther jet mode✈

[@jacquesharper3934]

Let’s get a review on the BMW XM ….. true power true beauty

[@agps4418]

i would be very happy if they announce they fired whoever designed the iX's aesthetics

[@fatalbert3633]

Somebody had to approve the design ….it’s nice just not enough range for the price you could get two Tesla Y

[@leeseverson45]

I'll get that God damn hood open, I've got a good can opener 😅 lol

[@pricilaaguilar7637]

Joe I feel like the price on these luxury price does not equal the material and looks a lot of it looks very simple and not 100 grand looks, IMO

[@MPDLR]

Does this qualify for the YogaMom WholeFoods $7500 rebate?

[@readyon3506]

First as always

[@poulin5950]

Which suv has the rear wiper tucked under the rear spoiler?

[@jacobpena306]

Some lexus, Hyundai, and others

[@alengreen589]

my 2022 Kia Sportage.

Seems fun. =)

[@joem8247]

Terrible car, but hey Joe you da man, 38k to go, I’d watch you review a toaster!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Man during a rainstorm and people drive with their hazards it’s absolutely ridiculous. Doesn’t help at all haha

[@Darkvirgo88xx]

There is a postive to all the EV vehicles coming out especially for married men who dont get to spend a lot of time with the boys. If you and said friend purchase one you will get to have plenty of bro time at the charging stations.

[@shinymew2887]

There’s nothing positive about that. Lmao

[@keithhere5868]

if you can find a charging station that is not in used or in working condition....By the time you and your bro find one...wife will call....lol

[@redscorpion757]

This thing is ugly ( exterior )and the price doesn't help, The interior is nice BMW could have done a lot better with this platform.

[@Almighty_cornholio]

BMW must be drunk these days

[@localpizza.]

I couldn’t trust myself driving some shit like this, I’d be swimming in traffic

[@alahiri22]

Range not good for me... On my X3 M40i, I can go 425 miles without refueling. My X3's 0 to 60 time is just 4 secs. I would want a 500 miles range to start with, since it will go down as the battery ages; also, I need more charging stations on both sides of highways.

[@RaitisRides]

That is understandable for sure!

[@mark-ex7ng]

I liked the halo better

[@pfwww12]

..sigh..watched it til the end. Ok. Worth 90k lol It's bad azz suv

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Congrats BMW......You made an uglier EV than your I3. With the grill dont get me started. It's still the same atrocious large lung design the only difference is this one came out of plastic surgery!! Ill take the BMW IM please. 😎

[@meatl0ad]

110K is extremely unreasonable lmao

[@shinedownfly]

Im starting to hate a lot of new cars. 110k?!?

[@jacquelynjones8455]

Good Morning

[@leonardferguson8413]

I don't think you can get that blue seat belt with the brown interior on the website when you configure the vehicle.👎👎

[@susanjspaulding]

🇺🇸 *LIKE the styling of this BMW iX M60* !! *Price of this SUV is not in my budget* !! *If I had the money, I would purchase a luxury internal combustion SUV* !! *Maybe a Lexus or Acura* !! *Fantastic video Joe and Lori* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
