The double pull to open the engine bay has been standard at BMW for years... There's even a label saying "2x" in the lever.

I ordered the iX3 today after a test drive. Fully loaded loaded with options as standard. Class leading drive and exceptional interior

[Lemond]

Had one of these for the last four months, and it’s brilliant. Smooth, comfortable, loads of kit and space. Only slight disappointment is the range. 233 miles is the most I’ve seen on the dashboard before setting off, but hoping as the weather warms up it’ll get closer to the theoretical maximum of 280.

40/40 for the four of you! Good to see Rory.

[edinburger]

Had my iX3 M Sport Pro for a month now, done 1500 miles. Utterly brilliant car. Beautifully put together. Standard kit on the Pro spec is huge. Panoramic roof, drive recorder, assisted drive pro, etc. I’m seeing up to 280 miles on the range including a 200 mile motorway run to London. 3 year lease deal via work for £450 with nothing down, so the £60, 000 price tag is irrelevant. Going to order a second for the wife asap.

If I‘m not mistaken Rory at some point owned or still owns an X5. So why doesn‘t he know to pull twice to open the hood ? Says a lot about a car tester …
He‘ also not able to properly close it afterwards. Never push it down, let it fall in its lock to prevent dents. smh

[dorifthor]

After first dismissing the ix3 because it wasn’t designed as an EV platform and the battery spec isn’t exactly the greatest. I was so surprised at just how well the ix3 puts it all together to create a perfect package. I love the way it’s just another x3 model with all the benefits of an EV. I truly believe bmw have stumbled upon the perfect recipe for the future of EV’s. A useable frunk and it will be near on perfect.

[Gemini_]

I’m confused. Why are you lot testing this only now? It’s been on the market for 2 years or so…?!

[credibletube]

Team test chemistry is great a
and cool to watch

[peterantheunis]

There is an after market frunk available for the IX3

[jakesquires]

Would buy one but it hasn’t got dual motor

[王一天-vr]

so, what does ix3 rank among the tested ev models?

[CarsofGlasgow]

I was looking at these, since this video's release the price has jumped to over £64k base 😢

[frank]

Man it took me awhile to recognise 'Tiff' Ha Ha Pluto

[jameskent]

I love bmw but the whole ev takes the fun of driving out of it for me. The feel of a big engine roaring away is just heaven

[jeffs]

You would think they'd do an iX4 since that shape is more conducive for an EV.
And this iX3 should be for sale in the US. With our suv obsession here, we should have this before the i4 and i7. 🤷‍♂️

[grassyknoll]

How sick they must feel in the back lol

[larshansen]

Nah this is not a proper EV. It has quality interior and it drives nicely. Not like the Ix or the Audi/Mercedes EV with cheap plastics and huge ugly glossy screens.

[michaeljarcher]

With a toss up between this and a Tesla, it wasn't too hard, telsa was a pile of cheap plastic crap with the luxury of a dolls house of a 3-year old. Not even close to BMW in terms of comfort and enjoyability to drive. It's a shame BMW have to levy big price jumps when the vehicle gets into Europe. The price in China is heavily discounted, mostly competition is higher with other domestic brands like BYD

[tyroneaprill]

Like that uv joined the 5th gear team, I make them better
