Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Cruise set to 78mph, did a loop up I15 and back. Temperature mid 40°F. Averaged 36.5kWh/100 miles, or 2.74 miles per kWh for a theoretical range of 287 miles. Not too bad for a big wind baffle on top and slightly above speed limit. Still above EPA! For reference this is down from 2.88 miles per kWh on my recent Vegas trip. https://bmwi.bimmerpost.com/forums/s....php?t=1962863 |

Curious to hear how things go in the winter and snow. I'm in CO and considering an iX. Up in the mountains quite a bit. My X7M50i is such a capable vehicle in all conditions, I've been wondering how the iX would do.
I had a violent reaction (not in a good way) the first time I saw an iX at a BMW event in 2021. The car has grown on me since I've seen it many times in person and had the opportunity to drive it for a couple of hours. It's different, for sure. |

Lol here we go again with the torrent of "ewwww it's so ugly" comments. Like, yes, we get it...the design is polarising to the max. Sometimes I wonder if the mods choose to feature anything related to IX on the homepage just to stir the pot

I'm honestly more interested in hearing how the iX performs and how comfortable it is etc. I don't like to disparage other people's cars, but I just never warmed up to the iX even after seeing it in person. Can't understand for the life of me why the iX wasn't just an electrified X5 (or X7). I have a feeling the iX will go the way of the i8/i3. But to the OP, if you like it and are satisfied, that's all that matters. And from all accounts, it is a great vehicle to live with.

Do I wish the styling were a little different? Sure. But it grew on me, and my thinking is that when you get to the point where you can rattle off half a dozen current models that have the big grilles it has come to a point where we just need to accept it as a current design trend and get over it or move on. |

Haha, yeah I don't know what kind of tree that is but it's been freezing temps overnight and the mountains have 36" of snow now! Clearly not quite winter yet but we are supposed to get rolling snow storms starting later this week.

Enjoy skiing and winter, and don't forget you will need way more charging in the cold! I learned it in a hard way. |

Car looks great, sor ! Nice winter wheels, too.
I absolutely love how this car looks. That slim headlights, the vertical kidney and the lower air inlet make the front look like a humanoid robot or a transformer face. Definitely prefer this charismatic, futuristic design language over Tesla's egg-shaped, faceless designs. |

Nice results. It'll be interesting to see what the results are below 20. That's where my Tesla's range really drops off.

And I think in ICE engine, my consumption would always go up also in winter, may be 10-20%. Pretty straight forward.

What I don't want is the long part of the ski hanging off the back and the trunk hitting when I open it, that's been a problem with other cars. |

oh that sucks. I've been lucky with my aftermarket wheels so far with this. You can always try BMW emblem stickers on the aftermarket caps if it really bothers you.

sor Thank you for sharing your experience with snow tires (wish I could add more appreciation points for how relevant your post is with the upcoming winter season).
Are you planning to test the vehicle in the snow? |
