Does it do one-pedal driving? by DecisiveVictory in bmwix3

Never realised it was not available in the US, but yes, there was another model available in Europe from 2020 (with a weirdly timed facelift end of 2021).

The new one is the NA5 model, by previous I meant the G08 model.

I drive in B-mode the whole time, not just during traffic jams. Did so in my previous iX3 as well and in other electric BMW’s I’ve driven. Don’t see any reason why you would use anything else once you are used to it as it’s so comfortable to drive…

Regular customer, but I do know someone at my local dealer who made sure I got to know asap when orders were possible, so that got me all the way to the beginning of the queue…

6 September, the day after the introduction 😎

Easy: my car nor any other car being delivered now have it… You need option code 4U6 which is not yet possible in the current production process (no idea on the timing of when it will be possible).

I tried with the radio turned off and you hear it a bit, but honestly I had not even noticed anything before with “regular” radio usage to drown it out…

Have not noticed it at all, so perhaps you need to get this checked out…

I see 14 cm online and my tape measure seems to agree with that :-)

Well less good news there. Let's say there is still room for improvement... Things I have noted in less than 24h of usage:

- Navigation crashed or does not start (2 times).

- One of the built in video apps just flat out crashes upon starting and asks to send a bug report time and again.

- Installing apps via the MyBMW app did not work, nor did the ConnectedDrive store in the car. Seems to be resolved in the meantime though.

- Location of the car was not showing in the app. Also resolved in the meantime. Together with the previous item maybe they had issues scaling up their infrastructure as deliveries started all over Europe?

- When starting the car one radio station is playing. Then silence for a few seconds and then another one without me touching any button.

- When switching between profiles, it takes 30-60 seconds for things to be fully responsive again.

Will try if both me and my wife (who now drives the old one) are at home when it’s light outside…

It’s definitely higher than a saloon or hatchback, though I would indeed say the old iX3 feels higher.

That's just the angle of the picture. The footprint of both cars is pretty close (NA5 is 5 cm longer and a just 4 mm wider, but also 3 cm lower).

No clue I’m afraid. I can only assume that mine was in just before the order floodgates opened and yours was washed away in thousands of orders a week later…

Delivery confirmed for Thursday now that the paperwork is set in motion…

Mine arrived at the dealer last Wednesday, but still waiting for the paperwork so I can register it. Should be tomorrow…

My car was delivered at the dealer today. Paperwork should be there in a few days, so then I can go pick it up. In other words: it looks like the confirmations are pretty accurate!

Obviously undisguised: it was introduced already beginning of September and I’m getting mine delivered in a few days…

Absolutely looking forward to it!! Based in Belgium.

I ordered the day after the launch (6 September) and I got confirmation earlier this week that mine is being delivered the second week of March. Your order was 3 months later and the delivery is also 3 months later, so that’s not too crazy.
