BMW iX3 is Coming

[pdk42]

Yawn... maybe a great car, but the styling is just so 2010!

And if "coming" means the same as it does for the ID3, then maybe it'll get here in 2022!

I like car-shaped cars. That looks horrible to my eyes.

the front is so ICE - I look at these massive grilles and am taken aback at how old fashioned they look to me already.

BMW seem to be on a grille arms race at the moment. This is the new 7 series - hideous IMHO (but apparently the Chinese love it):

Is this their final destination?:

I know, I really don't like SUVs - but I can see that I'm in a minority judging by the number of them on the roads.

I really don't understand why more common ICE manufacturers aren't designing more aerodynamic looking cars. They could still make it look true to their brands but surely, they could also strive for better efficiency stats that may in turn tempt people.

Not a true ground up BEV , still has a transmission tunnel. let's see how it is priced and how efficient it is

oh my god..... what were they thinking, that's what, 80% grille?

 

[interbear]

BMWs used to be pretty cool design wise as well as driving wise. I had a few, enjoyed them. I saw a couple go past me on the road recently with the new grill design and thought it looked hideous. Couldn’t believe it was actually a BMW.

As for the iX3. Meh. Boring but will appeal to those who like a boxy SUV with a premium badge, of which there are many people. So it’ll probably do well and as that means more EVs on the road, good.

I expect the interior build quality on the BMW iX3 will be rather better than Tesla though.

I’m hoping that once we start getting cars from Berlin Gigafactory that maybe the quality will improve

Will no doubt sell to those looking for an EV powered traditional styled SUV. My dad has a X3 M40d which I have to admit is a very nice place to sit, well put together and a good drive. Will be interesting to see how they price it against the Model Y and their own petrol/diesel equivalents and what discounts they offer. There was a time BMW could sell at or very near list price like Tesla, but that's a long time ago and it seems to be about volume sales now and I'm sure they will want to take as big a slice of Tesla sales as they can. Still think the charging network is Tesla's trump card just now, so much of the public charging network seems unreliable.

Here's a somewhat boring review:

 

[j1mgg]

I watched the carwow review earlier, and for £60k, it didn't impress.

I like the Mercedes equivalent, but it still needs work.

And Model 3. Ever wondered why they don't offer a green option
