This is the installation video for the WOKEBY BMW iX3 Frunk. There are German subtitles / Es gibt deutsche Untertitel It will give you about 47 liters of additional storage space under the hood. Visit us at: wokeby.de
Does this also fit right-hand-drive iX3's, such as here in Australia, or the UK? I ask because layout of steering and braking components would be different, and something might interfere with the shape of the moulding designed for the left-hand drive version of the car.
and why BMW does not provide in the first place is simply beyond belief. so glad you are looking out for the buyer since the manufacturer is not. would not mind a new cover piece to clean up the surrounding area. cheers
Yeah we know that quite some customers would love to have an additional cover. It will be tricky to realize because there are no mounting points that could be accessed. But we will give it another look onece there is more time 😉
I think that is would have been even better if it also covered the gaps and components around the trunk. If it is going to be used as a frunk, it should look as good as the trunk.... A fabric surface would also benefit the luxury feeling to it instead of just plastic... (I am waiting for mine for i4, and will probably rebuild stuff to make it look better)
Hi Ulrik thank you for your input. We understand your points but as we don't have the quantities we need to have an eye on the costs of the product. The part must be small enough to be shipped internationally. We are at the limit already. Additional fabric parts need to be fastened somewhere and we were not able to find suitable points for that. The products must still be affordable and this is the biggest challenge for small quantity production. But we are thrilled to see how you will improve your BMW i4 Frunk ;-)
How much weight it can carry? Doe it make any additional noise while driving? thanks for help. I am about to buy ix3 and this looks like perfect addition for it = )
Hi This frunk is pretty tough and can easily take everything you want to carry around. BMW standard charger, Charging cable first aid kit and so on. I cannot give you precise numbers but we did our test with an overall weight of about 10 kg and it was no issue at all. I never heared any noises from the front and even if something would move inside the frunk. The front compartement is insulated to shield off the noise of a combustion engine 😉
Schön dass es Firmen gibt, die die Böcke der Hersteller ausbügeln. Wo beim X3 der Motor ist, ist beim iX3 ein riesiges Loch. Warum zum Teufel pappt BMW da einfach ne flache Abdeckung drauf? Ich verstehe es nicht. Das ist doch ein Steilvorlage für einen Frunk. Naja. Das Ding wird sich 100%ig verkaufen. Jeder der dieses Loch sieht, wird direkt googlen ob es da nicht was gibt.
Vielen Dank für die netten Worte. Tatsächlich verstehen wir auch nicht warum BMW sich weigert hier Frunks zu verbauen und haben schon viele interessante Ausreden gehört. Wir korrigieren diese Fehler aber natürlich gerne 😎
Sehr toll wie man den Frunk hier nachrüsten kann, ich bekomme meinen iX3 demnächst und würde den Frunk auch direkt einbauen, sofern es nicht gegen irgendwelche Garantiebestimmungen von BMW verstößt. Habt ihr hierzu Erfahrungen?
Hi Stefan ich kopier dir mal den Text aus den FAQs hier rein ;-) Da wir nicht für BMW sprechen können, können wir das nicht beantworten. Wir können hier nur beruhigen, dass wir in all unseren Jahren noch von keinem Kunden gehört haben, dass er Probleme gehabt hätte. Uns fallen hier auch keine stichhaltigen Argumente für einen Garantieverlust ein.
Hi I don't have an official statement from BMW and will never get one. But as this frunk is considered cargo I don't think that BMW could void your warranty. You can "load" your car with whatever you want as long as you stay within the specified limits. But I can tell you, I have BMW dealers that buy this frunk from me and in all the years I have never had a single report of an issue from a customer.
Is the frunk really installed directly in front of the fan? Is there any airflow left? I am driving a company car and worrying what happens in case of overheating in terms of warranty.
Hi, yes the frunk is behind the cooling fan but with enough space to grant air flow. For sure more space than in the BMW i4 M50 and that was designed by BMW themselves 😉 Anyways there is not much heat that needs to be absorbed in an EV. Most heat is created while fast charging or race track driving.
@@WOKEBY but any possible the original cover could be reinstall on top of the trunk which after installed? Seems there will be heavy dust when the car after long range travelled
@@veckerschan6365 No this is not possible. The iX3 frunk builds much higher and so there is not the same possibility as with the i4 Frunk. But in our test the frunk stayed dry and clean
The current status is: We expect the parts to arrive by the end of March and will launch the sale latest in April. If you want to get notified when we have more precise dates then feel free to sign up for the product newsletter ;-)
Crazy how much wasted space is in this car. They could've easily made it have 20cm extra rear legroom for example with all this space, which is massive.
Thats the downside of these mixed platforms. Don't know what's the reason for all that hilarious waste of space as the last pure EV platform of the BMW iX has the same issues. A gigantic front hood without even a tiny frunk 🤷🏼♂
