Love it in the flesh

BMW of Plano had two in. One for demo and one for sale. This is the demo. I liked it a lot more in person than print

Sewell in Grapevine told me they were having an event at noon today to see the iX. I guess I assumed it was come and go, so I showed up at 12:10... No. They were having a full-on presentation behind curtains so I missed it by showing up late...

My sales guy is at Grapevine. Would have been nice if he gave me a heads up 😡

My guy gave me a heads up but apparently, there was a misunderstanding about how the event went down. I assumed it was just a come and go...

I was very skeptical of the iX when I saw it in pictures (and even video). It somehow looked out of proportion in '2D'

When m local dealer called me and told me he had a demo, I went down to take a look, and I must say I was quite surprised and very impressed. The car looks so much better in person. I would say my favourite perspective is the rear end (cue ribald humour), followed by the front end. I think the least flattering angle is a straight side-on view.

The Demo was in white and looked good; however, I think the car would look even better in colours that don't contrast strongly with the black trim (personal opinion).

Suffice to say after I drove it, I jumped on one!

When I saw one on our showroom floor, it looked a bit like a minivan to me. Largely due to the short hood combined with it being a tall car with a lower ride height than other SUVs.

My wife (whom the car is for) has the same concern and she refuses to drive anything that looks like a minivan. So I hope that our car in Red with the sports package doesn't have that look.
