This is great ! I use the iDrive knob only with id8 and when I get to a function that is touch only (like climate) it's always a pain, takes more time and is distracting.

An article with a click bait title - with very little in the actual content supporting what it claims in the title.

Nope, will be waiting for the full EV. Until then, enjoying my 45e.

I’m torn on the lci. I think it’s kinda rough wife likes it and Brooklyn gray. I don’t need it crazy optioned out but m sport and I think m pro are a must on the lighter colors. That bumper!

We live a bit rural and wife drives the kids everywhere so the mpg is nice. She has an explorer sport and it’s about as bad as my raptor.

The hybrid isn’t really an option for us since the battery is only so far then back on gas. Plus no tax incentive. I’ll pass.

I found a new 23’ I’m trying to get a deal on. I think h is t looks better.

But BMW isn’t a volume seller. It did quite well during the pandemic, and I don’t see it rushing out with anything to be first to market.

Yes and unfortunately it's kind of a joke. 210kW isn't exciting me the least bit on a car of over 2t. I was looking for a BEV from BMW but the iX is hideous, the i4 too small and the iX3 a joke in terms of power. (Even the iX1 has more power, but it's range is a joke and it's tiny.)

So I ordered an X5 50e and hope that in 4-5 years there will be an iX3 or iX5 with the looks of the G01/G05 and the power of the iX M60 plus 20% of additional range and I'm SO sold.

I think this is a safe bet. The EV side of things is beginning to explode (and not in the fire-in-your-driveway sense). There will be tons of options available in a few years
