NEW! BMW iX 50 (523hp) | Fast Autobahn Range⚡️🔋 | by Automann in 4K

Today we are kicking off a new series on our channel! With electric cars popping up everywhere we are going to do our "FAST Autobahn Range runs". This means we are going to drive "just as we would drive our petrol cars", meaning 160 km/h cruise control wherever its possible, usually reaching average speeds overall of above 120 km/h. This way we can find out which electric car suits OUR driving habits best! Please also make sure to follow all our stuff about this car on instagram! #BMW #iX50 #RangeTest

Great idea for a new series! The range under normal driving conditions, including sustained high speed on the autobahn or motorway, is exactly what is needed to know real range. Long distance driving in an EV is just a hassle still even with the newest high end EVs

[@Automann-TV]

Yeah, agree. I don’t want to change my driving habit…and in the end don’t have more time for my trips than before;) That’s why this use case matters so much to me😬🙏

[@timessix8434]

I 100% second this test. It’s exactly my approach to EVs. I have zero interest in changing my driving pattern because of inferior technology. ;) We bought an EV last year, it is now being used for basically all transports around home, and for any trips longer than what the SOC allows, I will use my Audi C7 4.0TT which can take me 650-700km without stopping, if I want. And when I have to stop, I fill up with 650km range in less than 5 min… Not disrespecting EVs, I have just realized it doesn’t do the full job. It will take many, many years before EVs fully can replace ICE cars in userfriendliness and flexibility.

[@Automann-TV]

There’s not much to add;) Makes perfect sense👌

[@Mtatc1]

So you never take a break while driving?

[@timessix8434]

@@Mtatc1 Maybe you noted my writing ”If I want”? Of course I take break, but on my own terms, typically when I have to ”charge” up the tank I get out, fill up the car, go to the bathroom, buy a cup of coffee, and then back on the road. Those maybe 10 min of legstretching is enough for me to be able to drive another tank, if necessary. Not everyone feels the same. My main point is: When I am on my way somewhere, I want to roll - not be forced by the car, available chargers etc, etc, to stand still every 90min, or so.

[@supaahflyy]

@@timessix8434 that seems unreasonable tbh. Most people on a roadtrip are there with family or other people. By averages they take a 10-20 min break every 300-400km. The top end EV's, I'm thinking Tesla, EQS, Taycan etc can do that distance on a charge. What's the issue if your break happens at the same time as the car charges? With these new EV's it takes about 20 mins to get the charge high enough to go another 300-400km km's. I'm not trying to say your usage is incorrect. All I'm saying is your usage is actually not the 'normal' or 'typical' usage for most people in the population

[@TriviaChallenge]

No way are you getting 650-700km going 200km on the autobahn in any ICE car.

[@CarbonMotorsEU]

Thanks for the high speed endurance test! This is very important for everyone who considers to buy an EV.

[@Automann-TV]

Your welcome. For us it’s likely the most important discipline. Our cars are sitting in the garage for a few days but once we get them out we need to cover high distances quickly in order to get to a driving event or get home in time…😬🤷‍♂️

I had an ix for 4 days and did 800 km at mix at 7 to 12 degrees but in Ireland the limit is 120 and you might do a bit more. At 130 ish we got 25.6kw per 100. The best we got on back roads where the limit is 100km it averaged 22 so in the ix 40 the range was 276km at 130km/hr

[@Kaipeternicolas]

What's funny to me is that when Tesla came over to Germany with their Model S, the Germans complained that it wasn't fast enough in terms of top speed, so Tesla upped the power and limited the car at 155 mph just as the German gasoline powered competition. Now the Germans build EVs that are all limited to 200 kmh (120 mph) or even less.

Super Test! Eine Übersicht am Ende des Videos mit der Temperatur bzw. den Bedingungen, der Reichweite beim ersten Stopp (100 - 10%), sowie den darauffolgenden (80 - 10%) und der Ladezeit von 20 oder 10 bis 80% wäre noch toll. Dann kann man ein bisschen vergleichen, auch wenn die Bedingungen und die Strecke immer unterschiedlich sind.

[@ralfkuehn]

Der Durchschnitt war wohl 120 km/h, habe ich in einem Artikel gelesen, das Display zeigt 225km bei Fahrzeit 1:40h, also 135 km/h. Ohne genauere Angaben kann man diesen Test nicht wirklich beurteilen. Ich habe notiert: 34,0kW auf 100km, 75% des Akkus für 225km, bei plus 3°C. Bedeutet wiederum ca. 310km für 100% Akku bei 135 km/h. 500 Ampere war die Grenze beim Laden bei einem 400 Volt-System, die Spannungsanzeige erschien mir ungewöhnlich hoch. Bei 80% schon 419 Volt und noch 200 Ampere in der Leitung. Da hätte mich die geladene Energie sehr interessiert. Bei 16:13 min ist zu sehen dass 71,39 kW geladen wurden laut Säule, die Prozentzahl im Akku 78% minus 19% = 59 %, ergibt ca. 62kW im Akku angekommen.

[@Automann-TV]

Absolutely! The car needs to adapt to us as customers not we to the cars.

[@ardonjr]

I'm driving an EV and I'm also not going to change my driving style. I love to take the car for a drive once in a while, just for the sake of driving. It's easy when you can charge at home (which I luckily can) otherwise it's a completely different story (for now). Fun fact, before I used to take the Alfa Giulietta in the weekends for a drive.. now I love to drive my EV more as this feels much faster when playing around. I still love the Giulietta but driving an EV is so different.

With 75% to achieve 225km is quite good. The etron s showed me this range when I was at 85% battery capacity. And we know the real range was even less! So I think BMW made a awesome car and the range topic isn‘t a huge point anymore like you sad in the end!

Love this car. So many have documented 300 mile range in real world , sometimes spirited driving. Even in the M60 610HP/811TQ version.

[@Dathumm]

Great video but can't fully agree with your conclusion. Being forced to make a 30 minutes brake after already roughly 220km is just not convenient, travel speed with 150-160kmh (what was the average speed?) is also not super quick. I have a 2021 530d, BMWs latest models are so quiet and comfortable at 180-200 kmh and yet efficient that this is my typical travel speed. I do many business trips with a distance of 400-600km, usually I do it without a break. I would accept it to have one break but again probably even then I can't go as fast as I am used too. I would also not be willing to accept the limiter at already 200 kmh...

[@supaahflyy]

This is a BMW efficiency issue. Tesla's are far more efficient compared to basically all EV's and thus can give you that 400-500km range at fast speeds that you're talking about. That would be a car that would get you there in 1 stop at most or if you drive more efficiently (slower speed), no stops. 530d is fine. I've got a M4 so I know about petrol/diesel life. But electric cars are far far better cars as daily drivers and to cruise around on the motorway. Especially with autopilot where you don't have to waste energy doing boring motorway driving

Amazing how much you have to excuse yourself on how bad the battery’s are. Even little things like „clean air“ apparently has a massive impact on the range. H2 and Patrol for the win.

[@gog08]

I’m also usually driving at 150-160 km/h on autobahn, so it’s basically a 30 minute stop to charge up to 80%, and to drive less then 200 km till the next stop (in case of this particular car). I think I’ll stick to my 2 liter diesel, with which I’m averaging 6,5 liters per 100 km at those speeds, even with the current diesel prices there’s no point to switch to ev if you have to drive on autobahn daily and don’t want to stick behind the trucks, adding the inconvenience of stopping for 30 minutes every 200 km on longer trips. As a second car maybe, but definitely not a BMW IX as a second car)

[@aalberto4961]

Thank you for this video. I too am looking at the BMW iX 50 and was curious about the consumption when driving spiritedly especially in the winter. I don’t want to drive like a hyper miler because the car serves me and not the other way around. I’m used to driving an EV, have 2 Chevrolet Bolts bought new 4 years ago and here in Canada we get temps that can go as low as -30C. Usually at those temps my consumption can go as high as 28 kWh/100km with the heater on and driving 120km/hr in the highway with winter tires on.

[@imBugra]

Yeah, that's the stuff we're looking for. Decent test. We bought an Audi e-tron with 70ish kWh of battery to my wife, we're using it for UK daily driving. It works well for British standards (max 80mph driving). I travel once or twice every year to Turkey from UK, using European motorways where the speed limits are basically much higher. We obviously do that with an ICE car, in our case it's a Mercedes S Class. I personally find 160 km/h as the sweet spot, too. Considering replacing my S Class with an Eletre R nowadays. 906 bhp is crazy power, which nearly doubles my S Class, but I can drive for more than 600 kms with mine, whereas Eletre seemingly will be able to do at most half of it. I never drive my S Class in eco mode, however I tend to drive our e-tron in efficiency mode due to range anxiety. For these list prices, it seems to be out of mind even considering huge government grants. I don't know what to do, honestly, but this ain't nowhere practical in Europe!

It is one thing to wait 5 minutes for a petrol pump to become available but quite another to wait 30+ mins before you even start to charge your EV.

Just saying. Also, if I'm a regular person with regular income, the choice will remain for gasoline engine or maybe a diesel one if I have long journeys often in my schedule. Thank for your time and effort! 🙂

really nice test idea! I think the Model 3 will be very good in efficiency and nice with charging down low (5 to 60% stops is perfect). The IONIQ 5, Kia EV6 and Taycan will charge incredibly fast, but also use a shtload of energy :D

is the 50 more comfortable than the 40 on the city and rough pavement? thanks

You need a different camera for the walkaround. Wide angle messes up the car’s proportions. This is a difficult car for many, a bit ahead of the times, so you need the most flattering angles you can get.

Wait, did the sound get louder in the tunnel? So its outside?

[@Automann-TV]

I don’t think so😉

[@gundelfish]

Great looking car - something new at least. But the sound of the closing door is quite cheap...

Congratulations to BMW for doing its best to disgust the car enthusiasts: Hideous grilles Horrible designs Ugly two spoke steering wheel Stretched tablet on dash And the most important and also unforgivable one is the FRONT WHEEL DRIVE cars

Your kids will love it. Unfortunately most of the time this car is beautiful only for next generation people. Which is young generation…our kids. We get used to similar design and we don’t want to see anything else like with everything else in our life. I asked my kids (younger generation of people) what they think about this car…99% said is beautiful. Some said is a IronMan Design 10 years ahead of us my friend. Our next generation will love that. Don’t hate my speech please, accept it as another viewpoint

[@michaelstanley934]

Doesnt really matter how good the car drives, if they dont fire the exterior designer, there is no hope.

M got 🔥🥶

[@helldiego]

where to buy such lovely gloves?

[@apicharjiratanan4285]

yeah, if the range is more than enough i also dont want to drive efficiency driving in the city during the day, come home with 50km range is perfect or dont even have to charge the next day

[@lucatenti2226]

I want one love it

[@johnny2156]

When will you get in your hands the key to the i4 m50?

[@Automann-TV]

🤷‍♂️😬

[@smo2816]

It is written 625 km range in BMW IX50 catalog, of course it needs perfect conditions, but what is 250-300 km range, over 50% lost due to some rain and time to time acceleration. Is it IX50 labeled IX40 or IX50 is a balloon ? I put my xc90 for sale, it seems I should cancel sale and continue to ride my xc90 till a realistic range giving car. Sorry ix!!!

Thats a great idea! Im
