BMW iX xDrive40 driving impressions & summary 

Yeah, no wonder Tesla keeps selling..

I bet you wish you cancelled the Y !!! Or were you lucky and haven't taken delivery yet?

I've tried the adaptive drive in a skoda Enyaq some days ago. Don't know if BMW did a better job (as I know they do an awesome lanekeeping-assist etc I hope, that they do a better job then Skoda/VW) but the Enyaq was horrible to drive with the adaptive regen.

@@Mesothorax I cannot comment on the Enyaq. But when I drove the Audi Q 4 I did not use the adaptive drive, so no comment from me unfortunately.

Frameless doors sound different - less "chunk"

That sounds like a cheap tin can car from Russia in the seventies, I would definitely not buy it,

It has soft closing doors,they work from about 1cm away from closing, they won't make much noise, his knowledge was lacking

How’s winter range?

@@hendersonli6594 Depending a bit on the temperature but around 240 kilometers.

@@hendersonli6594 I normally only charge the battery up to 80%.

@@runedahl1477 Good to know! What is the average winter temperature there? I am in Toronto so curious if the climate is similar. Thanks!

@@hendersonli6594 The normal winter temperatures here are between minus 5 and minus 2 centigrade in the winter but if I drive 30 minutes into the inland it is considerably colder. This is due to the Gulf Stream that passes off the coast of Norway. Occasionally it will drop below minus 10 degrees. Located inland I assume the winters in Toronto are a bit colder than here. One of the downsides to electric vehicles is that the range will be reduced during winter conditions. That has been a big problem for the electric busses in Oslo and in Skjeftelaa in Sweden. Also here in Bodø have they had problems during the worst winter days but that have been related to the back wheel drive on the jointed busses. They have a tendency to scissor and get stuck. If you have a iX 50 you get 100 kilometers extra range. The Norwegian automobile association conduct every year a test of the new models of electric cars. They start in Oslo and drive north until the cars stop. If I remember correctly the iX 50 did 503 kilometers before it stopped. Also Tesla and Mercedes have done well on these tests. As far as I know this test is the biggest in the world. The drivers are not professionals hired by the makers but journalists and others that are specially interested. The test is close to how ordinary drivers would drive. When they get into the mountain region and inland between Oslo and Trondheim the temperatures can drop below minus 30 degrees. The whole test is very realistic.

I'd take the cheapest option ig range is enough (you can charge at home). Otherwise I'd consider any of the Korean cars or a Nissan Leaf :P. Especially Koreans charge the fastest, first gen Ioniq being faster than 2nd gen.

You can choose anyone. Even Skoda Citygo, becouse e-Up, Mii and Citygo are the same car.

The Ioniq 5 fully load vs entry level iX is not too much of a different class, entry level here is 42k vs 71k, means less then 2x - but you know well if you made a test drive already, if you are happy with the Ioniq 5 - hey enjoy it :)

Not available in Norway and not announced coming to Norway yet.

No

@@bjornnyland Thanks!

IR flood illuminators for the drivers attention camera. The human eye can't see it, but some cameras can pick it up.

Yes

Didn't I compare it with both Model X and e-tron 55?

@@bjornnyland You did. Sorry I skipped past it.

Nein

The price though......

Unless BMW can scale up AND make a profit, I doubt it.

Believe me, they aren‘t!

Believe him they are not.

Tesla Model 3 sounds better than iX: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9stwF9-5mBM.html

Guess it has to do with those frameless doors, as with all BMW coupe’s

Wake up

Oh please.

I’ve driven a model Y and this. This is far far far better. I was really disappointed in the Y. The ride and steering to me were absolutely unacceptable. The inability to adjust regen was also annoying.

@@DG-uv3zw yes, please do that.

@@MarkXHolland you’re welcome.
