Better mileage than EPA estimate

have had it for 5 weeks now. No problems so far, other than trying to learn all of the tricks this thing can do. Mileage is much better than what EPA estimates. There are several driving Modes available. When I select "Efficient" I get about 380 miles on a charge, with no discernable change in driving characteristics. If i select "Maximum Efficiency" I get well over 400 miles. The trade off is that the A/C and Heat won't run in that mode. The controls are mostly in the apps on the big screen so can take some getting used to. Acceleration coupled with the piped in sound is fantastic! Great car so far.

Goodbye Tesla, Hello BMW iX!

I had a Tesla Model 3 Performance for 6 years. It was a good car, but I needed more room and also wanted a car that had better build quality. The iX gives me that and much more. It is the best car I have ever owned. It offers a sporty drive and has plenty of power. The interior is truly outstanding - beautiful leather, crystal accents, radiant heat, a great heads up display, and an electrochromic glass roof that lets you change the glass from clear to opaque with the touch of a button. Plus, it is perhaps the quietest cabin I have ever driven in. The ride with the air suspension is incredible - it absorbs bumps in the road and can be both comfortable and sporty. I give the iX the highest of recommendations. **Update 06-18-25: Still loving my iX. I have not had any problems. Still highly recommend this car.

I can't give the BMW IX 4 stars

While I love driving the car, being a passenger is different. Considering the $115K price tag for the comfort package and upgraded sound. Firstly, the exterior design is unappealing, particularly the kidney grilles at the front, which are a significant design misstep and quite unsightly. Inside, the seats are designed with a hard mold around a hole that causes passengers to bump their heads during acceleration or braking. It's uncomfortably firm and could potentially cause a concussion in extreme situations, like when you slam on the brakes. Also, the cup holders are practically unusable as they're placed too low, making it a stretch to reach your coffee unless you are an ape with unusually long arms. Another point of contention is the non-reclining back seats, which I find ridiculous. Despite the other great aspects of the car, these issues are significant enough that I'll consider alternatives like Rivian or Tesla when my lease is up.

This thing is a 517hp beast!

Spacious cabin, incredibly comfortable, top notch materials abound, rose gold switches are a very classy touch. I could drive it across country without having to stop. So planted for a 6K pound SUV especially in the rain. Oh yea, it halls!

Loved It but Hated It

I could give you 1000 reasons why I liked this EV, but also give you 1001 reason why I disliked the car. The major reason: range fear and lack of adequate charging stations in the Northeast (unless you are a Tesla owner). In addition, plan on losing a minimum of 25% of your range when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. Charging at 90% during the summer, I had 345 miles of range. Once the temp dropped, charging to 100% only gave me 285 miles maximum. Great car, great drive, but I am just not ready at this time for an EV. At least not until significant improvements are made in the infrastructure and battery technology.
