The Big Bad iX

Short video demonstrating some of the i3 to iX similarities.

Nice. i drove an iX 50 and it was brilliant. The 60 must be other worldly.

It's pretty much like the ix50, except for the extra power. That being said it doesn't make you feel like stepping on the pedal constantly. Cruising is where it's at.

Any advice when looking at a used iX? I’m so used to thinking about all the possible things that could be going bad on an ICE vehicle, but is there much to inspect on an EV?

[@bobmac1970]

If you are buying from a BMW dealer, ask them to do a Battery health check. If you are buying private, ask the owner how they typically charged...mostly slow or DC...to 100% or only 80%. Unless it has crazy high miles on it, I wouldn't be too worried. Mine had 6k miles on it. Of course all the normal ICE visual inspections still apply too.

@@bobmac1970 thanks! Yeah I’ve seen some with 4k up to 30k on a 2023. Normally I’d be worried about a a year vehicle with 30k miles, but I wondered if it wasn’t as big of an issue with an EV. However, like you said, was it lots of trips to the DC charger? Still a bit torn on the iX, but every time I test drive one it’s such a pleasure.
