Thanks Imran for the nice review ‼️
I was extremely excited for the iX3 to come to North America like 2 years ago Well that's never happening and it's seriously late in the game regardless and having no xDrive is absolutely blasphemous

Clearly you're missing the point
Soon enough you won't even be able to drive into the city of London with a ⛽️ gas vehicle

Wasn't planning to. Would be pretty hard to do from Washington DC anyway.

I don’t think the world of electric vehicles is going to be the utopia people think.

A majority electric cars by 2030 or 2035 what ever Biden is farting is a political pipe dream at least in the US. Maybe Cali will be mostly electric, but that will be it.

Also the gas I save makes my daily car absolutely free to drive and my electric bill is only $15 more per month

Cali alone is a very big market btw. Rising gas price wont help either. |

And we've just reached a tipping point where making an electric car is now becoming cheaper than making a gas ⛽️ car

We are on our 2nd i3, now an i3s, and around the mean streets of LA it is a blast!
Generally the car I choose unless I'm by myself and then I take the M4. This is bigger in length than our i3s, but might be a great choice in a bunch of years down the road. … With solar, and the fact that we charge at home primarily, we love electric. One critical note that we have come to realize is that most apartment residences in LA, and I'm sure many other cities, don't provide enough, if any, vehicle charging capability. Hopefully this will change in the future to allow more individuals to consider electric!

Unfortunately BMW has no choice but to make cars like this. I really don't care about ho-hum models like the X3 going EV. What's gonna hurt is if cars like the M340, M3, M4, M5, M2 etc start going full EV. Those cars don't even sell in high enough numbers to make any discernible global environmental impact, but politicians don't care about facts and logic.
Anyhow the iX3 seems fine minus its lackluster range. It's OK for daily SUV stuff but many families go on road trips often. When I lived with my folks we'd make the trek from Seattle to Vancouver BC at least 5-6 times/year in our X5s. 'Aint nobody trying to sit for hours at a "fast" charger when one can fill gas in 5-10 mins, especially at nighttime.
