Doesn't seem like BMW can win. They manufacture something like the i3, people say BMW should have kept the design simple and inline with the rest of the BMW models. Now they release the iX3 which is essentially just a X3 with a different powertrain and now its boring.

xDrive is what made X3 what it is today. Then they remove xDrive and expect us to bite? Not a chance they will sell these to anybody who has a clue.

No one is commenting on the way it drives because who really knows until it's released - comments seem to be directed at design. And last I checked, the U.S. market is the only market that I know of that still has sDrive X3's and X5's. So if we're going to nitpick, in a general sense, this is exactly the type of vehicle people have been asking for at least in terms of design and drivetrain but now it's boring and everybody wants xDrive.

Regardless, it doesn't matter because the iX3 has no current plans to release in North America. |

Best looking EV so far in my opinion. Still I'd get rid of the blue stuff, and the rims. But lack of AWD and performance made me give up this car some time ago.
The incentives to buy pure EV's in my country is insane. No car tax (mostly CO2 based, compared to $ 40k on an X3 M40i, $ 4k on a X3 30e), no sales tax (25% on non pure EV's), cheaper tolls (about 10% of none pure EV's, and this is a big deal here, $10 toll for a non pure EV is not uncommon, average is maybe $5 ), cheaper parking, HOV type lane priviliges .. Audi Etron is the most sold car here (not EV, Car period), followed by Tesla 3. Tesla Y will sell like hot cakes. Too bad BMW can't make this with AWD and close too Tesla Y performance. |

We first had a i3 REX for 3 years and only on rare occasions needed more than the 130 miles of battery power we got, now we bought an i3, without Range extender because 130 miles is more than enough for our daily needs. This is exactly what I wanted! I live in Wisconsin and planned on slapping on some winter tires and driving that RWD beast with limited range to work and back everyday!
