BMW iX xDrive40 1000 km challenge 

I love how he covers the speedometer with his passport but then shows the speed in the heads up display… 100 in an 80 zone😅

Amazing video, love the iX beaver 🦫 Not yet in my price range but looking forward to my iX3 hamster 🐹 Would love if you could to the 1000km challenge with the facelift iX3 in warm weather ! Best wishes to wifey and little princess Isabel!

1:34 ABC, Always Blame Child.

We need a 500e 1000km challenge please. In my estimation from testing on 500km route it is able to do 1000km in 13-14h. Cheers

I think these new EV's have incredibly high consumption. It's insane having 300WH/km. I thought the point was going "green" this also means that we should be using EV's which do not consume that much electricity. I feel that they put big batteries on them, then the consumption is insanely high, they add some good charging speed (so it's still ~20 mins to 80%) and the range stays the same (~300-350km). I drive an MG ZS EV (2019 model) and I get ~160WH/km (when the weather is good) with a range of ~200km on the highway. The car costs 1/4 of what this one does (or any of the new ones). Even with bad weather the highest I have seen on the highway is ~220WH/km. The solution should not be a 100kwh battery, but rather small consumption. EDIT: Not saying that my car has low consumption, but if they manage to get a cheap car with low consumption, I feel that big car companies like BMW and Audi should try their best to have a low consumption on their cars. EDIT2: I came back here to say that in the newest video of Bjorn he got a really good consumption on the iX Drive40. So my point is sort of "bad-ish.." but it still stands. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bCFeA5POv6E.html&ab_channel=Bj%C3%B8rnNyland

Slow clapping hands for keeping up with the 2018 e-tron 55!

You need a HUD passport Bjorn! 😂

Let's see if some efficiency improvements will be done at fat etron facelift when it will announced. 3 years ago since etron released.

Nice try using the passport to hide the speedometer, but you forgot the Head Up Display 🤣🤣

You CAN plan with new born babies - you just have to be ready to throw them out (the plans, not the baby)! Those tiny babies RULE THE WORLD!! 😄

Thanks for the Video, Bjørn. I have a IX40 since Dec last year, and I can confirm your findings on the car. I have to say though that the outside temperature has a big impact on the energy consumption, I think more than 10%. Therefore the iX50 might have the advantage that the bigger battery compensates for that. However, the big price difference is not worth it, from my perspective.

Hey there, i am following your channel for quite some time. Meanwhile i managed to get an EV. However i wonder if you could do 1.000 km Test with EQS in >15° Condition, as Temperature is greatly effecting range. From my testing, a consumption of 190-210 Wh/km is comfortably doable compared to 294 in your (winter) Test.

I'd say it's a testament to how good the E-tron 55 really is and how ahead of the times it was (for all other than Tesla carcompanies) when that car in 2019 holds it's ground vs a 2022 BMW. Battery, engine, aerodynamics and a lot of other tech has come a long way since 2019. I like the color on this BMW, but the front..how can anyone like the front? It legit looks like it's 1 big plastic piece cut out. Looks similar to the front of NASCAR cars or other racing cars where it's just a plastic shell.

Those FAT cars are just thirsty!!! great test as always :)

That roof is some really nice new tech on the market, I think it comes from the company 3M?

Test the range of the Model S from Gemini One from America. One charge and u will go 1000km+ easily 😂👍🏼 hopefully they'll bring that 200kwh battety as an aftermarket product

This is the first time I am watching your channel and you can really hear how you come from an Scandinavian country when you say BMV not BMW.

Bjorn hiding speed whit passaport but speed shows on the head up display sheet.

we can see your speed in windshield. projection)))

The innovation in the ev market never seems to stop. Fantastic future. Clean and silent. Can we please get some infotainment chips with better graphics performance though? The sluggish menus are so bad👎

Now I am sure that the IX 40 is the right car for me. Thx for the Video. Greetings to Norway.

Tesla killer as well, but that not difficult to find EV cars better than Tesla

Very nice summary, Björn. Especially at the end, it just basically depends what car you like the most OR for most people which car they can get the best discount for. They both have their own pro’s and con’s.

Great Bayrisches Auto 😜

How do you decide where to charge and how much at ionity? Fastest is to stay within 10 to 80% all the time?

healthy food for the win! but missed your double sausages, btw .... tesla might be coming to BKK ... or i mentioned this already?

I think it looks best in black IMHO

How much time was spent driving and stopping/recharging separately, adding up to 10 h 20 mins? Thank you. Love your videos!

Björn I have a suggestion, why dont you add how many charging stops you take during these challenges? That way 10-20 minutes of time difference between similar cars could make more sense.

Great video, thank you for the ride! This model really seems a lot of fun to drive, this panorama roof is beautiful! 🔌⚡🚘

Just when i started to think that BMW’s can’t get any uglier, they’ve drone it again

I love that split rear window corvette. I have a rwd model 3 but I'd love to have that corvette stingray and I'm sure that it would piss off Greenies.

I suspect that there is limited capacity at Mortensrud, as I never get full power there (with Ioniq5 on the 150 Kw chargers)

I have a fat e-tron and I find charging only once to 100% instead of charging 3 time small amounts makes more sense on long trip. What are your thoughts on this..?

Quiet charging fan mode? These German brands just keep piling on options for the sake of having more oproken. Though I guess my loud and smoking Model 3 could be a nuisance to guests when fast charging next to a hotel (which is common for Superchargers in the Netherlands) in the middle of the night.

i would like it , but with bmw 3 front

Pro tip: It does not make sense covering the speed when you show the head uo display anyway…

Bjorn, I have a test request for you. You demonstrated the electrically dimmable skylight. It looks like the skylight can be made to be opaque using electrical current. The question I was wondering if you could address is if the skylight is also opaque to infrared light when it is opaque to visible light? After all, the “raison d’etre” for this feature is to block the heat of the sun, which is mostly in the IR spectrum. I know that you have an IR camera attachment for your phone so it should be possible to make measurements of the degree of attenuation in the IR spectrum. I would think it would be an easy test if you acquire an IR lightbulb (heat-lamp bulb) and perform the testing at night. I suggest placing the lit IR bulb on a support about 1 foot above the outside of the skylight. I would then make IR measurements from inside the car looking up through the skylight with the dimmer off and then on. You might need to place the IR lightbulb in a photo soft-box to diffuse the light if the bulb is too intense and too focal, but with a little trial and error I bet you’ll be able to make good measurements. What we want to know is the INTENSITY of light at the frequency of the IR lightbulb with the skylight roof off and on. All the best.

Bjorn please activate subtitle translation option for serbian language. thanks

Nice beemer. But whoa, the Corvette at 1:46 is nice too X) I think that's what it is, right!?

The consumption is just ridiculous, please german brands, create more efficient EV !

Hi Björn, in the range horizon menu screen (where is shows the expected range at arrival) it show is pulsating motion down worth. This means that with the current consumption you will arrive with less battery than the care expects.

This ix40 is the most important ev in mankind history. Insane efficiency and great pricing for a german luxury suv with proper equipment and decent quality.

Hi Bjorn, really appreciate your video’s and in-depth reviews. With a family of 5, need for big storage, and high charging speed and range, I am trying to choose between Ioniq 5, BMW iX and Mercedes EQS. Any recommendations you can give? Or things to consider, outside of your extensive reviews? Thank you anyway, and look forward to your next video.

You made me laugh with the countdown, I like this car can’t wait any longer to get mine next Friday Storm Bay Metallic - take care bud, I like your vids - Amitiés from France 🇫🇷

I didnt think you would do the whole 999 part without editing out 999.2-999.9 but I stand corrected.

iX50 test was performed at a low temperature and yet you got 10 min less for iX50. The efficiency is 25% higher in the summer. Test iX50 now again if you can.

I like this sheeeet!

Briefly saw the steering wheel at the beginning of the video, is it a rounded corner octagon shape? It looked not circular, but more flat edges than just a bottom cut off that's seen somewhat regularly.

Headup display...

How do you think the iX is versus Hongqi E-HS9 Exclusive?

German beaver 😂

I have probably missed the joke but why does he say Spekerod 4 times???

Bjørn your passport is not good enough :D You can still see that the cruise control is set to 120 at the bottom hehe

This was awesome to watch, thank you bro! xxx

What was the cost for charging to 100%?

Thanks to share your video

Vintage car rally?

as tech advances, smaller is better

Best EV Car

What is it with the passport over the speedo when in Sweden?

Very interesting video, You should redo the 1000km challenge with the iX50 I don't understand how you had more than 30kwh/100km with it...My consumption with it are more in the same range as in this video. I did 800kms to the south of France with a bike carrier with a consumption around 26kwh/100kms (speed limit is 130km/h)

Same as Enyaq, which costs half....

Nice car. But what was BMW thinking about with the grill!

almost 30% more consumption than Model Y?? really?
