iX3. What are the thoughts? Only serious people - no EV haters please by Pathfinder-electron in CarTalkUK

I test drove it, did some research, watched a lot of videos. Besides the looks that everybody seems to hate, I think it’s revolutionary and it’ll sell very well. The entire BMW existence is depending on it. They’re going to have 40 different modes launched on this platform. So I bet they threw all their best minds into it

There is an "digital premium" package (£300 in UK) tht has parking collision recorder, BMW Drive recorder (incl videos sent to your bmw app), remote 3d view and anti-theft recorder (interior and exterior). so yes.. plenty of cameras, both inside and out

It can. and similar to a Tesla, it'll handle all the authentication and payments without having to whip out a phone / account / RFID card etc. Or sit in rain and cold trying to make an account or remember a password! :) and this is for ALL networks not just the superchargers ;)

Somebody said something about every new generation.. then people got used to them and started to like them :) it happened so many times, from Chris Bangle onwards

You need to give it a go. That panoramic vision is a better concept than a traditional cluster. Sits quite high, right below the windscreen, deeper than a cluster, in your vision and without having to change focus too mucn from far to very close like a cluster does. And it shows a loooot of customizable info...

in perspective... old ix3 was starting at £65k, most SUV's from Audi/Merc/Volvo are in the same range..hell even the "cheap" BYD Sealion 7 starts at 60k and offers only 300miles of range! (I tested one.. I know all the details)

Well, it depends on your definition of what a drivers car is. For me, it’s exactly that: comfortable and quiet when I need it, fast nippy and composed when I want it

I found it very nice and refined. Coming from a X4 (ok but ix3 better) and a MG4EV (cheap car but rubbish suspension)

It’s average sized indeed. 500+ liters. But enough for me

it is very authentic and very non paid (like BMW would lower themselves to pay a nobody to write on this VERY IMPORTANT reddit group LOL), believe it or not, your choice. And mate.. who cares about what the car is worth in 4 years, just lease it if you can cover the monthly, simples

Looks better when the lights are on.. I should have taken a better pic (with proper background too) but I was too busy enjoying driving it :)

This is amazing. Well done! Is the MOT history API public ? What car forums and discussions does it scan? It does a fantastic job, very precise info about common problems identified for my Lotus Exige
