And not good one.

Why does it have auto start stop (what does it do on electric car?), and I guess auto hold is just to give people who prefer it doesn't creep or it's secretly for one pedal driving?

The only thing bad about the iNext was the beaver teeth.

The iX production car is worse with every single panel and feature

And even the lovely interior is ruined by the stupid "wheel".

What a POS from the team that brought us the groundbreaking (but ugly) i3, and the stunning i8.

This looks like the result of breeding an i3 with the new 4 series. Gross.

paliknight · 11-12-2020, 05:44 PM

I'll see you guys in the banned from IX forum thread.

Agreed

SCOTT26 · 11-12-2020, 05:45 PM

I like to think of iX as a bigger i3. The minimalist look is quite cool, a sea of surfaces. Where relatively no typical plastic shows,a definition of the term next premium. In actual appearance it is very broad, not overly solid in features as a typical X vehicle but it's proportions emphasise a unique interpretation of a sport activity vehicle.

An M is not part of actual discussion but can be discussed.
For now the i4 will be the more appropriate model to introduce Electric mobility to BMWM. It won't be the last however.

As said before that BMW design is now challenging outwith the expected peripharal. In saying that there is an updated BMW coming that for an older vehicle is finally meeting its expectations which wears an interpretation of the new longer face.

Previous Concepts lay the foundation for how BMW are going to interpret its looks to be far bolder and more individual in a changing landscape.

There is no auto start/stop, that's the start button to turn the car on in front of the gear selector.

Welcome to the club. And by the way this car and SCB... Perfect match

I find this vehicle repulsive looking and the marketing idiotic. BMW is sh!tting the bed with this and the G series.

SteveinArizona · 11-12-2020, 06:12 PM

The grill is still ugly but less so on an SUV. SUVs are taller and not supposed to be like a sports car so I can sort of tolerate the ugly grill.

khurmit · 11-12-2020, 06:12 PM

Lol BMW hits another dud note.

The competition for this model looks so much better than this to me, I can only hope these design fails play out in financial results - Its the only thing that can make them change direction (and validate that my taste is better than BMW exec/design teams).

Is this a Ted Lasso situation? BMW ownership going through a bitter divorce, so the ex that got the company is trying to tank it?

PS. The interior hasn't resonated with me just yet.

I'm sorry I disagree...A good exterior design should connect with you emotionally immediately. Immediately hit your reptilian brain.

You shouldn't have to "warm up to it" or convince yourself you like it. If that's the case the designers failed.

Tell that all the critics of the E60 5er. Easily one of the most hated and criticized designs when it was revealed and introduced. Now it's one of the most appreciated designs.
