My wife and I like the grill and the front end, e.g. a concept car we can buy. Then we add in great range, performance, handling and a super interior. Great video Ben.

the only big fail in the design is the cup holders, they are at an inconvenient place and can easily cause an accident they are not easily accessible

I’ve had my iX M60 for 3 weeks now and I love it! ❤

Ive seen one of these in person and its the ugliest thing on wheels. I like bmw and have owned a couple but i don't know what they were thinking with this design

6:02 IIRC you can also hit a button to make that glass roof see through or opaque.

Gorgeous everywhere except for the buckteeth lol

I have a bmw ix x drive 50 and it’s a beautiful driving experience with excellent range .

Leasing mine at end of February! Can't wait!

Well, this is better than not only Tesla X but Audi etron and Mercedes EQV!

I have a 2024 IX M60, and I wish I had waited for the 2025 model year, which is already available in Europe and as early as March 2024 in the U.S. The 2025 receives the new M-style steering wheel and dark accents for the interior instead of gold and bronze. Carbon fiber trim for the M60 would have been nice! We do need that trailer hitch and the IX has it, except BMW doesn't provide it for the US market. ?? It is often hard to put the kid's bike in the back. I also wished the range was better. So far, I am very disappointed with the range and the charging time. I hate the fact that BMW and other automakers get away with the "up to" range. What does that mean? I also wished they had the rear window sunshade. All my other BMW SAVs had them. One would think that for a special car like IX they would have one.

I’m a new owner after owning a 2020 Model S. Not the coolest looking EV, but Performance and range from 20% to 80%far superior to my Tesla. Mixed HWY and city 340 miles. Interior fit and finish superior to my Model S.

the front grill design is awful, but center stack wood finish looks beautiful

[ronedwards]

What else I’d terrible is the short bench the seats. All trims. There is no support for a taller driver. Volvo has extendable seats. This is a deal breaker!

[jackking]

It really depends on how you see those 2 brands. Tesla is still ahead of others in terms of software, but build quality etc😅. Owned 2 model s and 1 MY in last 5 years. Just sold my 22 MS to get a IX60. Fit and finish, material used on IX is way better. Driving is execellent, the way bmw tuned the throttle is superb. My son got motion sick in the back of MS 8/10 times, not any more😊. EPA Range is more realistic. My 2 biggest complaints: no frunk, it cannot connect to Wi-Fi. Solely relying on T-Mobile just sux

Test drove one today. It drove well and I like the range. However after testing an EQS 580 suv and Ana EQE AMG there is no comparison on the interior or tech. The EQE and EQS are superior. From a styling perspective both bmw and mb drop the ball

[thomasmiskiewicz]

I love the simplicity of Tesla. Steering wheel, accelerator and iPad. Perfect for me. BMW & Mercedes too overloaded for me with software from the last century

[XX-]

Better fit and finish then Tesla for sure

[relicinn]

To much buttons that's a deal breaker for me

[dmitry]

Is it still driving through all the lanes on "sharp" turns on freeways in the US following stupid EU laws that don't even apply to the US?

Tesla is an electric vehicle the bmx ix is a luxury electric vehicle. Both are in my garage
