I get that all you true Bimmer fans and car lovers hate RWD, but honestly here in SoCal no one cares about AWD, or let me correct myself, it's absolutely not necessary. Price set right, I would be the first person to get an electric RWD SUV Bimmer. But price is the key here. The only reason that Audi/Jaguar are not able to sell and compete with Tesla is that they are late into the game, offer much less range, don't have any of the "autopilot" features of TSLA (however buggy and beta level it might be) and are priced much higher! So of course no one would buy them! You have to have at least something comparable.
Yes, iX3 will have at best 300 miles of range which is not enough for many but it is double our current i3 and would fit our needs perfectly. I consider myself a Bimmer fan who will never go back to ICE after having i3 but sadly BMW has no replacement to offer me after i3 so my only choice is to go with Model Y... but if iX3 was offered in US, with all its flaws, I would get it in a heartbeat if the price was comparable to Model Y...
