That was way better than I expected based on the looks

One reason to the good rolling is that is is not brushless motors. It have electromagnetic magnets that is turned completly off but it works like PMSM. The motor principle is called WRSM

Nice video. Did a spontaneous visit at Bilia, Skøyen, as I live around the corner. Will pick up my iX1 07 December.

Hi Bjorn, I am huge fan of your channel. You helped me select ix1 as much for my car. Do you plan to test iX1 eDrive20 which is front wheel drive only. I am getting some great range and the power is good as well.

iX1 xdrive on 18 inch wheels, Did 70 miles today, mixed, lazy driving, forgot to preheat. 13 degrees. 3.8 ml/kwh, 240 miles range. This is a very nice car and seems very efficient.

Very nicely done, always point the pinky up when drinking a sugar free beverage 😂

Bjorn, are you going to test the i4 edrive35? I'm very curious about the voltage of that batery pack, is like this one with the voltage so low?

I own the M-Sport iX3 and I am very happy with it...Just on my way home fro Germany doing 120 km/h and 18.9 kw pr 100 km 👍

Nice! Have you tested out the indicator stalks yet? OK, unfair question for a BMV driver, we have to asume there is no finger mark on that yet...😜

I think you already make the most thorough tests 🙏 I think you could maybe also highlight environmental footprint ? Tossing around in a big and heavy car with a bigger battery then you need for 90% of your travels should be considered I think… ix1 seems like a decent compromise in this regard Especially if you need 4wd! Decent car/battery size efficient, range without sacrificing use ability… What is the reason that you use B mode instead of the adaptive mode which is supposed to be the most efficient in mixed/motorway driving? Keep on the good work!

I think the BMW iX3 efficiceny is way better than that of iX1, due to 20 inch alloy wheels against 18. now iX3 has only 19, so I would expect a better efficieny there if tested again. I have now the BMW iX3 Impressive (facelift) since 2022. I have driven so far 23.226km with overall average consumption of 18.9kwh. I find it pretty impressive so far. (WLTP 459km, last week I drove 430km: 300km highway with 120km/h).

Even though its old tech, would you be able to do these tests on an Aiways U5/U6?

Danke!

Thank you :)

Maybe for low rolling resistance, try an Ioniq 6

I'm a Aiways fanboy , when are you going to make a similar test with Aiways, it's a dam good car.

19:28 EQA has same range and wh/100km as the bZ4x, so the Toyota is not that bad. I think people expected to much from Toyota I guess. 😊

Ionic 6 for rolling test?

What is the reason that you use B mode instead of the adaptive mode to allow coasting, which is supposed to be the most efficient in mixed/motorway driving? Keep on the good work!

Because B mode is as efficient as D mode.

@@bjornnyland Ok! You would think that you should have more energy losses during recuperation compared to coasting (which feels really efficient and transmission de-coupled in all BMW’s) using the kinetic energy. I have to check myself I guess😊🙏

what spec has the sunroof?

In the same range of XC40, indeed, but for 2024 Volvo changed engines, made some battery upgrades, and XC40 got almost 100km more range. I would be probably going next year for an iX1 over a XC40, but now this upgrade might be a game changer...

Tesla range 👌 Tesla charging 👍. But I choose car from quality perspective and therefore I have BIG grill in my garage, iX1 ❤️. Bmw is Bmw and it will always be tight between Mercedes, Bmw, Audi and Volvo. And Tesla will just stay as huge Duracell or Ipad on wheels.

Of course the buying decision is based on the grill size! Bjørn, you actually should include a "grillometer" test in your reviews! ☺

it's like those rocker fins on 1950s cars: just when they get their biggest, they become utterly useless. Still, who remembers wanting a 1990 Ford sierra RS cosworth on account of its "whale fin" spoiler?

FFS Bjorn, we BMW owners not only drive left but we NEVER INDICATE, you now need to redo the test :P

The rolling test down Bergshøgda🙂

No one pointed out the typo yet at 7:42 ?

I'm assuming you already noticed but the values "2810/1080/1730" in the spreadsheeeeeeeeeeeeet are wrong, right? 7:40

Why does your Excel say it weights 2810kg? and 1730 on front? There is a so called "Zahlendreher" :D 2810 vs 2180.

if it has the same 74 kWh battery of the bigger brother, with a price around 49.000 euro it would have been the perfect car.

maybe they've kept it low to keep the ix3 appealing. Note that to get a bigger battery in their XC40 volvo had to raise the rear floor and make it worse for passengers-the BMW hasn't done that here. Maybe they will do a front wheel drive version with more battery in the back.

“How many wives you have” 😂

Range is like buy a Tesla!

Waiting on q8 etron SUV range test for 50 quattro not 55which you did already

Ioniq 6 coming?

BMW on the left line is right to the point 😂

Ha ha ha, BMV's have alway's had their indicaters and lane discipline capabilty, auto-disabled for AH drivers, for years. If you a natural AH, BMVs can detect this and automatically prevent the cars from activating direction indictors or any form of lane dicipline whatsoever. BMV EVs are programmed exactly the same.

2810 or 2180 ? 😀
