A big grill doesn't have to be ugly. I always liked the front end of these, this grill looks like the intake of a jet engine. It serves a purpose - to cool the big block behind it. What purpose does this IX grill serve again??

Bra this car is so out of left field. The entire internet hates this car, not just Bimmerpost guys.

Even during the Bangle days every single model was fun to drive out of the gate. Didn't matter if it was a base 128i, base E90, E70 etc. That was as recent as 8 years ago.

Therefore traditional BMW design elements are interpreted differently to a standard BMW as the general idea behind the iconic design features do not feature in any way as this was intentional.

When Porsche continues to re-define future driving dynamics with introduction of EV such as Taycan, BMW introduces EV SUVs to appeal to soccer moms who complain about steering weight. I think it's safe to say BMW is lost in substance.

i simply don't charge my car between 4pm-9pm, and set it to not charge during those hours if i plug in. to expand on this, in the warmer months, i pre-cool my house before 4pm, then the thermostat automatically sets to a higher temp to only kick on if the house is above 77*. then at 9pm, it goes back down to 72*.

BMW iX ad campaign mocks its customers
That's amazing. Sorry if this is a repost but saw this morning a post on it from Robert Mitchell. I cant imagine who is running BMW Twitter account but this is pretty funny to go after your customers this way.

really attractive actually - inside and out.
the large vertical grille works well in the SAV execution. very interested to drive it. BMW appears to have nailed this one. |

Probably some woke account manager got carried away with his meme's and got a corporate slap from Munich. Sense of humour = design. Who would have thought. Last edited by Tallest; 11-19-2020 at 09:22 AM.. |

the whole thing with BMW getting political and shaming its customers into buying the ugly ix (is it 9 series?) is the dumbest thing Ive seen all week.
Last thing I want from my car company is to teach me morals about anything. Give me this ix for free, and Ill be happy to get on board. But you want my money and you tell me how to think? good luck. Last edited by Tallest; 11-19-2020 at 11:25 AM.. |

I have two friends that worked on a BMW dealership, and they have been BMW fans for years. They both drives an e-tron fastback today, because they think BMW are in wrong direction. Me either was planning to order an "iX", but it won't happen after this. I drive BMW and BMWi today, but this is just tragic. One compliment though; the crystal iDrive-controller is the sexiest controller ever made. Good job!
