Thank you!!! This is what I look forward to on my annual Christmas break with the family after another stressful year at work. Sounds daft but trust me your December videos are a reset, switch off , chill and enjoy the season.
Wow, got to admit the attention to detail in all the elements of this car have as you alluded to rewritten the electric car rule book, but as you mentioned it does come at a price, for now. Excellent video
Don’t buy cars sight unseen, but based on owning X3 and your excellent video, put in for a production slot (when they become available here in the US) to order a 2022 iX. Hopefully it arrives 4Q ‘22. Thanks for the info.
I've gotten use to the front of this iX. Just like the 4 series, really. As for the rest of the exterior I think, looks pretty good. Especially from the back. 👍 As for the interior. It's quite stunning. So all in all, it's a very nice motor. 👍 *Question -* _Didn't Hans Zimmer make his money from designing walking aids for old folk!!??_ 🤔😳😁😉 Great video Mr. Howard 👍
My 530 has amazing sounds also, I regularly open the driver's window at a quiet rural Stop Sign so I can hear the engine throbbing and purring as it moves off.
I would buy this over the Model X if Tesla allows BMW to use its supercharging stations. While the Model X is a bit quicker, I would gladly trade in speed for luxury, not to mention the Bimmer is a bit cheaper than the Model X.
Crummy short benches on the seats. My Volvo C40 has far better seats! How can BMW put a short seat in such a large vehicle? I guess they think everyone is no taller than 5’8”
Tesla beating? Does it beat a model x on range no, a model y then still no. Can it charge faster than a tesla, no. Does it accelerate faster than a tesla no. Does it have a larger frunk or more total cargo capacity than a tesla no. Is it more efficient than a tesla no. Does it weigh less or handle better no. Does it operate on a larger more reliable charging network again no. Journalists these days posing as car reviewers are a sad joke.
Quality,looks, durability, image, prestige, desirability, class and desirability, yes the bmw wins hands down in all those departments and no I don't own one.
@@garytheobald9538 sure helps to explain why the most common conquest trade in on a tesla model 3 world wide is a bmw 3 series then. 👍🏻 And I've owned a 3 series. Might snag a redesigned model 3 highland edition latter this year or next once the credit is at pos in 2024. 😎
@@garytheobald9538 pathetic drivel exactly what I expected. Prices for tesla atm are higher than they we're to start 2021. 😀 Also merc dropped prices over 30k late last year in China to move their ev inventory. Don't read much do ya? 👍🏻
Love the way you do your reviews but have to disagree with you on this one. The Tesla offers better software, charging network, more range, safety, all hardware built inside the car for self-driving. Plus Tesla insurance will be available soon which will be a lot cheaper as it will monitor your driving. It also needs to be noted that Tesla has investments from the founders of Google. The CEO of Oracle is also an investor in Tesla. Tesla basically has the entire software industry on its side. Engineers working for SpaceX also work with Tesla engineers. Once you find these little things, it explains why Tesla is able to move so fast.
A good advice for potential buyers: Test drive the cars your are interested in and make your own decision - without input from fanatic fanboys. The iX is way ahead of any Tesla when it comes to comfort, interior quality and driving dynamics.
Of course you're welcome to disagree. However I disagree with you in turn. Tesla are overrated, you can't seriously compare them with BMW, but anyway, I think like the anti vaxers you might not be persuaded otherwise.
@@jonpetter8921 Tesla is only 15 years old. BMW is about 100 years old.The former engineer of BMW who designed the i3 and i8 publicly criticized BMW for being slow. The video can be found on UA-cam. Just like Nokia and Blackberry, BMW will be a failing company. Software and the computer industry are the core industries. Tesla is a software company with amazing computer engineers.
I own it and it truly is the best car I have ever driven. Just plain fun and fast and so much crazy tech. Love it
I love this car👍 The more people talk about he grills the more attention this car gets. I love the design. It's bold and unique.

We're glad you enjoyed this one! Plenty more to come 😉 🎬

Great review, i am glad you made comparisons to the X5 and X6 since that was very helpful. Thank you!
A wonderfully enjoyable and very informative video to watch. TU.

Great video Mr. Howard 👍
Just ordered one of these cannot wait for it to arrive!
Took nearly a year but it’s on it way in January!
Mine comes on Wednesday and I can't wait. They look so much better in the metal as well.
Have to say in that colour and spec does look good - I think the colour you choose will make or break it for some
Loved the ending 😅
Great video!
very good video.👌💯 Its looks like i have ordered the right car for the family(daily used by the wife) ix50 coming in Jun/22, can not wait.
Brilliant review Howard

Yes awesome inline 6! Our kids will never know those intriguing sounds....
I Ordered one just now :-) iX 40 as yours but I added opt air suspension, I want it so badly :-) thnx
I love the IX.

Outrageously good car
Amazing
The presenters looks so much like Matt Watson from carwow…are they brothers?

Nice but can't get past those hideous kidney grilles 🤔
''exclusive'' The first reviews came out 6 months ago!
UK cars? RHD? BMW’s own video was 5 months ago.
MONEY NO OBJECT. BMW IX OR MODEL X??
iX all the way, every day - you have so many options.
looks like a washing machine

After all that praising, you don't like it 😆😆🤔

Just hope Elon doesn't wipe another 10k of the list prices to get rid, don't recall audi, bmw or mercedes EVER n needing to resort to that 😆
