Then I got excited when I heard about iX1. Was thinking about picking up 2 of them. One for the wife, and one for the oldest son who is getting his license soon.
Now iX1 isn't coming to the states.
It sounds like BMW doesn't want to compete in the small electric SUV market that everyone else seems to be getting into (MB EQB, Genesis EV60, Ford Mach-E, VW ID4, Audi Q4, KIA/Hyundai EV6/IONIC5 etc).
I'd love to see something from BMW in the X1 to X3 size, fully electric, 200-250mile range in the $50k-$60k ball park.
Can't buy i4 because it sits too low and would bottom out on my driveway (very steep). iX is too big, too powerful, too pricey.

I'm with you, 0 interest in a sedan or luxury yacht, I want an X1-4 EV.
Hell, I'd be happy with a hybrid but even that seems like a tall order from bmwna these days…
