its been that way for ICE cars a while now. especially ever since the gtr and 911 from a long time ago. so much content on their ECU's, software correcting driving, explanations of mech tech like LSD's and such. its not like ICE car reviews were just VROOM VROOM and done. tbh ICE cars are pretty much electric. it's why we can have 700hp cars. turn it all off and so many people will probably end up crashing.

I don't even have to look at it cause I can just feel it with my hand and it takes like half a second. We can't be messing around with touch displays while driving. Worse is to look "cool" the screen has all sorts of long transition fade in and out effects that make it look nice but also make it feel "slow" to use. I'm a game developer and we learned this lesson in the game industry a long time ago. Menu transitions need to be fast or else things feel extremely muddy to the end user.

I have owned two BMW X5's and loved them. I fell in love with the iX when it was presented in camouflage. My husband and I both pre-ordered iX50's on 8/18/2021. If so many people like yourselves hate the vehicle, instead of it selling like hot cakes, I wouldn't still be waiting for it to be delivered. My iX50 is at the port in Germany awaiting transit to the US. My husband's in still in the production process. Can't wait to receive my Aventurine Beauty. We have installed two ChargePoint flex 240 volt chargers installed in our garage. So charging will not be an issue for us. We fly for long distances and for vacations.

Great video, thanks. Car is awesome, really loving that akward looks, inside is just peace of art. Unfortunatelly your charging network is same rubbish that here in Finland.

Also I find it weird that in a province with such large cities that you have so much difficulty finding charging points while travelling. In Quebec, I haven't heard anyone complaining about this.

Nice video! First time I watch your channel. I liked how you two teamed up for the relevant and fun delivery. The car could benefit from a better power control distribution between front-rear axles. It is noticeable how the front moves up when you accelerated fast. More power to the rear wheels should reduce that and help improve performance and overall traction. I personally like the exterior design. I have some reservations about the interior though.

Great review as always. For the i4, looks like Throttle House had a lot to say, and not necessarily good things. I’m curious about your impressions once you’ve driven both.

Wife and I have been driving EVs since 2018 here in the states, but never had that much trouble the few times we public charge.

I really wish I found all this appealing but shit. I'm just not interested. I can embrace the electric car as a way of transportation but do they have to make the interior so complicated? I can just imagine that shit freezing up and wanting to but my fist through that screen.

I too live in the GTA and am seriously looking into buying this car to replace my full size V8 SUV. If I pull the trigger on this all my 3 cars will be electric. This review is great but missed the opportunity to showcase the range in our winter environment. The exterior looks did grow on me after watching many videos. When I saw it in person at the dealership, however, it looked totally better in real life. Maybe do an update on its real world consumption based based on normal to spirited driving during winter in the GTA. I’m curious to know what the a average consumption is in kw/100km when driving locally and at highway speeds on the 401 with winter tires on.

Just bought this car today. Wasn’t planning on this option, but the car has the bronze titanium package which means front grill and trim are all in bronze titanium. Wife thinks it a bit too much bling of ghetto, but makes my car standout from all the other Ix 50’s out there.

The car is brilliant and I'm not opposed to EVs but until the infrastructure for charging actually becomes a thing and the price of the EV cars themselves start to drop then it will make sense. Right now, for such a populated place, Ontario is terrible when it comes to finding charging areas, the payment system is screwed up and sure most of your charging will be done at home but charging stations need to become a thing. The fact that Canada wants to ban selling new gas/diesel cars by 2035 they're going to need to pick up the pace on infrastructure and making the grid stronger. Whenever we have a heatwave in July and one too many AC units are on we have tons of blackouts. How will the system support charging tons of cars at once?

This is why Tesla is King. Charging network. Pull cable down, one button click, plug in. 3 seconds, DONE Always 8 stalls minimum, and fast speed and improving every year

@@JC-mv9ju yes that would give me a lot of anxiety imagine running out of gas when you're traveling on a trip your entire family looking at you going what the heck Dad!!

the visors covered the entire side window so you have to say they are good they don’t have to slide if they cover to your head

also. straight pipes. if u can get ur hands on one. would u review the dodge viper

If I wasn't so damn broke I'd buy both this and the i4.

You need a good charging Network like Tesla

I love the knee and foot space from having no transmission tunnel. Stop throwing your trash and Timmy’s empties in the footwell, you monsters!

Love the intro music

While the car is ugly inside and out, I don't feel that "when I treat the car like a trashcan the trash can roll into the driver's side" is fair criticism.

Ikr, you're not meant to be throwing trash on the ground in the first place. Idk if this is something people do in some parts of the world... Edit: Disclaimer, I think it looks awesome.

BMW is somehow trying too hard and too little at the same time. Just make the same damn cars with electric powertrains please

I think I'm fine sticking with my MDX hybrid and RLX hybrid until the BEV charging system is close to the gas station level of availability.

I just took a walk through the BMW lot while my car was being serviced and surprisingly found these very attractive in person. I would absolutely never consider an electric vehicle until they fixed that awful charging infrastructure though.
