Welcome to Jonny's detailed review of the new 2021 BMW iX3 EV SUV. It is based on the new X3, but is it a good EV? Is this Chinese made 280-mile range electric family crossover better than Audi's Q4 E-Tron, Jaguar's iPace, the Mercedes EQC, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Nissan Ariya or the Mustang Mach-e?

Johnny, I’ve been watching your content from the Fifth Gear days. Your RU-vid channel is even more entertaining, and most importantly, educational. You have a really cool way of bringing in facts and figures, but in a manner that people can relate to. I also want to make mention of your interviews, for example with Chris Harris, and Mate Rimac. Do that more often! Get F1 drivers in, speak to people who are developing new technologies that will power our future. All the best, I’ll keep watching if you keep making.

@TheLateBrakeShow 2 года назад

Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the content and comment AK J. This channel allows me to finally combine the breadth of cars I am interested in - EV to V8 - and explore them more thoroughly. I hope this approach broadens people's appreciation for EVs in the real world, but also reminds them that piston stuff still has a place, and that classic/retro cars will only rise in interest.

@akj1919 2 года назад

@@TheLateBrakeShow for sure. I’m keeping a keen eye on EVs, but here in South Africa the electric car infrastructure is just not mature enough. Also, the cars that are here seem to have a 30% to 40% increase in price compared to the UK if you do a direct conversion.

It does, honestly when it comes to electric plans BMW is one of the more baffling car makers. They started the iProject, got a few models out the door and then cut the project in its entirety. The i8 is a massively underpowered hybrid, the i3 never had the confidence of marketing to push it more and they just sort of stopped till two years ago... BMW as been trying to revive the project ever since if only because soon their will not be much of a choice. Better than Chevy's MAD scramble to get into the market with the Stellantis merger but it is up their.

It's good to hear that the driving dynamics remain BMW, however the conformist approach of attracting the masses is not the way that BMW lead the market for many years. A revolutionary product such as the "bespoke" i3 & i8 models had key elements of sustainability, dynamic driving response & challenged the status quo. It's just a bit beige, when it should be bright orange!

@okovarik3 Год назад

I have probably a controversial opinion, but I like this car and actually consider buying it. I just visited event, where I sat in Ionic5, EV6, Enyaq, ID4, Mach-e and I have to say that iX3 provided to me the most comfort sitting inside in front and in back. Most of other cars I didn’t fit comfortably with my head on backseats (I am 187cm) or front seats are too low so you cannot squeeze your legs underneath from back. + infotainment is rather classical like real buttons etc. I know it’s not pure EV, but I just loved it most. And when I realised that car which is not older than 1 year and with 10000 km is cheaper than all mentioned cars (new though)

BMW seems to go for the common car buyer rather than the one looking for the extraordinary. Looking at recent Honda E sales, this might be the way to go - in contrast to the beginnings of the i3.

The BMW iX is the only BMW that survived from the i3 era i division team. Electric i5 and other evs were canceled and most of the original team that made the i3 and i8 left BMW. Thank god they canceled them and only the iX survived. Look up the leaked photos of the i5 (not the new one that's coming out in 2023), it looks terrible.

Great review, but Johnny you mentioned the iX3 motor is permanently excited which I believe is incorrect (@7:10). It's actually an unusual "current-excited" synchronous motor type. Basically means no rare-earths and it can be totally shut down for coasting efficiency. Just thought that's some slightly novel tech to point out, especially as you found the overall efficiency quite good.

And of course Hans Zimmer’s style will never be the same again for me.

Truthfully it seems to me that the eNiro (Niro EV), that has been around for two years, is comparable to this BMW in performance for less than 2/3rds the price. And we know the eNiro was a stepping stone to get Kia’s feet wet for the EV6. Am I missing something here?

NO ONE does as thorough a job of describing the functional ins and outs of a car as Jonny, it's as close as I can get to driving and experiencing the car being reviewed without actually driving it. I don't really have much interest in this car but I wouldn't have known that without Jonny. I'll keep my Tesla Model 3. :)

Do the brake lights come on when it’s in B and slowing to a stop?

@TheLateBrakeShow 2 года назад

Yes, usually

How does it compare to Ioniq 5 in your opinion? I think they are very direct competitors, but you don’t mention Ipniq 5 or EV6 even once. Do you think they are a dofferent class?

@adamharris5355 2 года назад

Possible daft question: When ev’s are set to “B” or one-pedal driving, when you decelerate hard, does it put the brake lights on?

@garyhayes4373 2 года назад

Telsa model 3 certainly does so I am guessing most if not all do.

@TheLateBrakeShow 2 года назад

Yes

@pabblo6103 2 года назад

Yes, and it's not just hard deceleration. They come on at a set negative G number. Light regen braking will turn them on. My 2017 electric Smart car didn't have this and I almost had a few incidents.

Thanks Jonny for a very thought provoking review,quite a lot to like with the IX3, but I can't help the feeling that BMW have dropped the ball on this model..

BMW's releases make me sad. Give us a touring, an "i3" that actually is a 3 series. This SUV craze honestly depresses me so much -_-

Bmw is actually making G20 i3. They testing it

Great review of a car I’ve ordered myself as a company car, purely because the only other electric cars on the list were the EQC Sport and EQA, both of which weren’t as well specced as the IX3. Completely agree that BMW have really screwed up the styling on this car, which is probably why they’ve facelifted it already and released the M Sport version. The Premier Edition looks bland, and the extra styling cues on the bodywork detract from the car. With the black wheels (which I also think look crap), they’ve highlighted that it’s an electric car, whilst making it far less desirable than the petrol or diesel models.

I dont understand why didnt they just wait half a year more to release this directly as a facelift... it doesnt make sense considering they had to change some aspects design wise for a car that already had i-specific design bits like the bumpers the facelift ix3 shares with the regular M sport facelift. I guess they are learning from this schedueling issues and doing it right with the 3 series that will get an i3 version when the facelift is unveiled

It's funny how BMW lost a decade in EV development and went from a pioneer to a follower. iX3 is a product BMW needs, but it's a compromise. Model Y or Ioniq 5 or even e-Tron 4 over iX3 for me.

This is for people who want a sporty, yet comfort car, rather than just pure acceleration. It's a quiet cabin; not as quiet as a coffin like the e-tron, but pretty good. It's also a comfortable ride. Now contrast that with Bjorn's review of the model Y where he's complaining about how harsh the ride is. That said, both cars are built in China, which as a self respecting man.. I couldn't possibly support. Let me know when 65% of their energy grid that helped build Chinese cars isn't made of coal, and their workers aren't making 20% of what a German/American worker makes.
