Not really in Italy although they have a broad, solid charging network I tested last year with my i3 over 1'700km without any problem! But BMW isn't that popular in southern countires (except most Balkan countries). But in Mid and North Europe the iX3 will sell great, also i4, no doubt! |

I’m sure they will be able to upgrade it to AWD eventually, borrowing development from the i4. But to be this late to the game and come to market missing such an important feature represents a major misstep IMHO. |

We will replace our current EV with an Electric SUV. I guess it will be a Tesla Model Y, if BMW isn't going to even try to compete.

But it does feel like BMW is a little late to the party. Though I'm hopeful that with Krüger out EV development will be accelerated. |

Any reason why it will be on the G08? Packaging issues with the batteries? Actually honestly would like a G08 in US. The X3 is workable with a big infant seat, but the G08 would be much better to live with, without going to a X5. |

I read that BMW teamed up with some well-known composer to create sounds for that, so this might be it. |

and RWD only... this SUV wont sell at all in states that get a flake of snow.. It's almost like they dont want it to sell well here so they immediately shoot themselves in the foot by making it RWD. That way they can go "See, no one wants an electric car... go buy our SUVs made in the US with a large margin because we didnt have to pay import fees. our accountants and shareholders prefer that"
