The new BMW exterior design does not work for me. Thank you for the excellent review.

The best review for actual potential buyers. By comparing and contrasting base and optional features, this review assists people like me in the US where BMW has yet to make public options packaging and pricing to pre-order buyers (or anyone else). Also contains details nobody else has shown, like the scratch test. BTW, Car Wash view has been available at least since iDrive 6; I have it (and use it frequently) in both my my G01 X3 cars. Thanks for a review that is unlike others and significantly more useful.

While it has cool features i dont feel so sure for the design 🤔

Thank you ... that was an excellent review. You did so many things right. But, 1 detail was heads-and-tails above all other BMW iX50 reviews. You actually measured the W x H x D of the rear trunk. I've been looking for someone that measured the width (W) to verify I'll be able to fit golf clubs sideways (L-to-R) in the back. I needed a minimum of 40"-42" to properly fit the clubs. You verified this for me. Dealers in the USA could not answer this question ... Super great information detail.

Infotainment can probably be set up perfectly to your preferences with those tiles, but obviously first impression is information overload. I bet you can also set up a tile for car information, if it doesn't already exist. Overall, BMW has to step up the software game - sometimes less is more!

Thorough and comprehensive review, Thomas, and you have rapidly become one of my top two car reviewers. I love my 2015 MB S-550 w/75K mi ($116K MSRP) and am actively researching my next vehicle, even with all the supply chain issues. Drove a well-equipped ($94K) BMW iX at my local area dealer yesterday, and was very impressed with the ride comfort, driving dynamics, noise level, and size/visibility. Had the air suspension and rear steering. ALERT: As we were finishing our lengthy drive and examination of the iX features, my wife said everything was great but the seat was painful to sit in because the plastic insert in the top constantly rubbed on her head. We tried to adjust the seat to eliminate this but even with the salesman's help could not. She is 5'6", a pretty average height for a woman, and fits just fine in my S-550 and her Lexus ES-350. This is a deal breaker for us, and I cannot believe the engineers at BMW are not aware of this seat comfort problem with drivers in a certain size range! Form over function indeed, like the capacitive controls you and I both dislike! Please look into this issue, as we like the vehicle a lot otherwise.

Great review again! I wonder what's your comments to compare autopilot and infotainment system of BMW OS8 to Tesla?

I happened to watch this guy's clips many times back 4 years ago while I was choosing to buy a car (Bimmer/Merc/Volvo). This year I watched some youtube clip I think about marine fish/reef tank or something and I came across German-accent English. I told myself I swear to god I have listened to this German-accent English before, from some guys but couldn't recall who (but kinda remember this face and remember it was from KZread). Ahhh finally I remember .. its' from Autogefühl! Nice accent!

Very tempting ambient lights reflection. I liked it so much.

Hi Thomas, wonderful review again... i enjoy your reviews, specially the door testing, superb! Can you test the doors 2 times please? maybe once in the beginning and once in the end? :-) Ok serious, i ordered a iX, and i am at the max of my budget. But would you advise to go for the air suspention? the seller says it does not offers added value. but he admits he was unable to try it. So, I personally thought the speed bumps on roads were difficult for the iX40 without air suspention. Is this a lot better in the iX50? Another thing nobody can answer me is the turning circle with normal 2 wheels steer or 4 wheels, what is the difference in turning circle? thank you for a reply. Keep up the wonderful reviews!!

I really like the wide display dash. it looks so clean, minimalistic. like an ultrawide desktop screen.

Most EVs have more room inside than a comparable Tesla. This is why they have no frunk. The others give that space to the passangers or move it in the trunk. Few people want to lift the hood to put stuff there.

A solid review again. I bought the X5 45e plug in hybrid thanks to Thomas's great review. I considered waiting for the iX and going full electric, but I am still happy with my choice after seeing this review. Both SUV's have similar features and functions, along with BMW comfort and quiet. In summer above 10 degrees C, I get 50-55 km of range and that is a pretty good commute, but it drops to 30-35km in winter (-20 or -35 degrees). However, my 900km camping trips have been totally without range anxiety. I would have had to leave the iX at home on a trip like that as the charging infrastructure isn't here yet in most parts of Saskatchewan in Canada.. The iX is great though as it would offer an unlimited commute distance, even in winter and it has a ton of power, which the X5 45e lacks in electric-only mode (it is slow but drivable). The interior of the iX is nice too, consistent with BMW, but the X5 45e is still a bit richer inside.

Hi What’s your opinion of the driving position? Is it quite upright (similar to an X5), or closer to that of a sedan? Thank you

Totally agree about the windows 95 OS. To bad it doesn’t match the rest of the car. Which to me feels very modern and cool.

For sure this is a big ass SUV! Great long form review on this very interesting new BMW

Thank you bro! Please tell me when it starts selling??

Some great features but why did they put the gear shifter on the center console?!? One of my favorite things in our i3 and older model s is the shifter being to the right of the steering wheel. Opens up more space for cup holders, chargers, and storage in the center console.

Oh, couple of questions. Are roof rails and rack going to be an option? Also, is this car setup for over the air updates and will eventually have full highway autopilot?

Awesome review of BMW iX, Thomas! Love this car - maybe minus the new iDrive. Agree with you on the privacy thing when others cut me off. I think this SUV is in my future.

They need to put a scrim sheet behind the grille of that centre speaker - all very well trying to show off your flashy speakers but it reflects too much on the screen and they kept a dark dashboard for that very reason!

ultra-modern design and will stand out . Its a large vehicle . I saw one in person at the back lot of a dealership in Germany. the perception and acceptance is different to when seen in pictures. I like It and the comfort and performance specs is excellent. Give it a chance....

Nice car review. I have to say, the BMW iX is one of the few electric cars besides Tesla that look good and probably drive well as well. Although I probably won't own or drive one soon as it is a little out of my budget. You did make me laugh during your 'Iconic Sounds' presentation after timestamp 37:09. You said it was composed by Hans Zimmer after which you did a demonstration in normal driving mode. Then you switch to Sport Mode and said that the sound would be 'En-Hans-ed'. 🤣

Great review as always, very through and informative. Highly appreciated

Thanks for sharing.

Good to see BMW has managed to keep it feeling like a BMW on the road!

Good video ! I agree with your assessment. I prefer the more conventional (conservative) interior of the 1/2/3 series, and operating system ver 7. OS ver 8 feels like an early 2000s Android phone! I absolutely hate capacitive touch buttons !

I think these new electric car reviews need also information about max passenger/cargo capacity. Example model 3 long range can carry only 295kg (driver 75kg) excluded. If this bmw as a big SUV can carry only half of the cargo from normal diesel/petrol, is a relevant information.

Nice. In my region only the xDrive40 is available for pre-order, not the 50. 😢 I really appreciate how you always sit in the back to show the true space; that helps a lot, thank you.

Good stuff

Is there room for a future upgrade of battery for more distance ?

Servus! I think the design is interesting. The front is not the best looking but it’s at least different from the masses. Love the rear end.
