Looking for a used BMW for sale in South Africa? We have over 3500 to choose from!
www.cars.co.za/usedcars.php?m...
Welcome to our documentary on the BMW iX xDrive50. We're calling it a documentary because at 31 minutes in length this is the longest video review we've ever produced for our channel.
However, this is one of the most interesting cars that we've ever tested, and so we felt we had to do it justice.
Our video guy Ciro De Siena was fortunate to spend 4 weeks with the car over the holiday season and so this is a long-term test of sorts. In this video we discuss the all-important aspects of range and charging your electric vehicle in South Africa, as well as what it's like to live with an electric car in South Africa.
We also take a very detailed look at the BMW iX's interior and a walk around of all the external elements of the car, including those oversized grills, the self-healing paint, the unique door handles and the flip up BMW badge on the nose.
We hope you enjoy our mini-documentary on this car and we'd love to know your thoughts in the comments below.

I was the guy with the pitchfork against electric cars - YOU'VE CHANGED MY MIND. We just need to fix that load shedding issue. Imagine calling into work - "Eish sorry I'm gonna be a little bit late.The car didn't charge last night.SHED HAPPENS"
@CiroDeSiena
@CiroDeSiena 2 года назад
I had load shedding at home last night for 2 hours. The reality is with a wallbox (currently free with the purchase) you can charge this car from absolute zero to 100% in under ten hours. So as long as you get say, 6 to 8 hours of electricity per night, you will be fine. Also, I genuinely only charged this car twice in 4 weeks, the range is amazing.

The second set of rear lights are due to a quirk in US law. The rear lights must be on a fixed part of the vehicle according to US law. But because the designer wanted to put the rear lights on the boot lid, they had to put a second set of brake lights inside the boot lid on the body of the vehicle to satisfy the legal requirement for fixed rear lights whenever the hatch is opened and the main rear lights are not visible.
@abayamangali
@abayamangali 2 года назад
Yeah and that sucks, they could have just put lower fog lights and use these as a second pair of lights when the trunk is open. Like what Audi does.

@@Gecmajster123456 it was more that Tesla as a new start up company beat all the major manufacturers in not only introducing the first EV’s but leading EV technology. It’s a catch up game now but the major manufacturers are bringing to market some attractive and in some cases far better EV’s than Tesla. It will not be long before VW, Mercedes and BMW catch up and take over in the sale numbers!

Last year the EQS series from MB was a big surprise, Volvo and Polestar looking very interesting with the new concept cars, VW/Skoda/Porche is doing really well, the Stellantis group is selling high numbers in Europe, and the Hyundai brand including Kia and Genesis, is maybee the EV leaders in new ideas and developing. About interior, take a look at almost everything from Genesis, if you like driving cars.

Having driven the car the last two weeks, I can say everything you say is true. It’s hard to put it in words, but I have never driven anything that is close to it when it comes to refinement. When I had to go back to my 3 series I had similar feelings when I had to drive a VW Polo (compared to the 3 Series) Autobahn consumption (120-140 km/h) was about 26 kWh/100 in in german winter (-3 C). City consumption 22kwh
