Goodbye to my BMW iX2 - What you need to know.

Bryan's time with his BMW iX2 has now come to en end. It's fair to say that this was a controversial replacement for his previous Renault Megane E-Tech (which he loved), so how has the past 6 months and 3,500 miles been with the car? In his final report on life with the questionable-looking BMW, he tells all....and it might not be what you think.

AutoEV - all electric, all independent.

0:00 - Introduction
01:15 - Titles
01:22 - Meet the car
02:37 - Yes, let's talk about THAT styling.....
05:25 - But it is quite practical and comfortable
07:53 - And the interior is fabulous to live with
16:25 - How about the efficiency?
18:10 - Ah yes, the price......
19:34 - But boy is it good to drive.
20:13 - Is it any good to drive?
24:26 - This is my final verdict.

The looks of the iX2 have grown on me post your videos.

[davids]

Good review as ever. It's an impressive car with impeccable engineering, rather like my iX.

[sutchak]

Great video, iX2 is a great car. Excellent ride and handling with all tech needed. However I didn’t like the looks and went in for a iX1. Loved the traditional SUV look of iX1 xdrive 30😃

Great review. Im ordering one next week (with electric seats!!) Its a rental company car whic means with discounts it will be the same renting price as the tesla y and comes cheaper than the q4 and even the skoda enyaq. Again, all due to bmw discounts towards company renting.

[radaget]

Thank you for the great video. What would have been your 1st choice in colour?

[pauldarlington]

I actually think the rear 3/4 is ok. It’s the front which is more questionable. We have an iX1 which we like but my wife doesn’t like the grill. We do however have electric seats!!!

[wendyhopkins]

Even my Niro level 4 has electric seats on both front seats and memory seats for the driver, which is brilliant also heated and ventilated seats 💺, BMW you should be ashamed of yourselves 😮😮

I enjoy your reviews. I have an Audi Q6 e-tron on order which should arrive at the end of November and I will do a video review of it. I have a similar complaint already to yours about the level of standard equipment, because there are several things that are options on the Audi but which I think should be standard in an expensive car from a luxury brand (e.g. comfort armrest, some of the storage options, fast charging USB ports). However, I think I disagree with you about the electric seats. I certainly want these in my car and I included that option, but if someone is buying the car and will definitely be the only driver, they are a waste of money since the driver's seat can be set once and then forgotten.

Strangely i like the back but not so much the front.

[cotswoldphotographers]

I think 220-230 miles real world is absolutely more than adequate for a vast majority of people 95%+ of the time. My biggest issue with EVs is that there are vast amounts of households who just can’t charge at home and for me is where the whole mandate falls apart, then add price into the factor, then depreciation and it’s a disaster waiting to happen. I’m lucky because I can charge at home but would I buy an EV if I didn’t have that option, the simple answer is no and I think that’s why EV’s are a hard sell.

Good car but way overpriced, lots of alternatives for better value, model Y for instance

[cabottaxi]

I'd have chosen an iX1 over the 2 model. More space for less cash. It's like the X2/ X4 and X6 models with the sloping roofs. As Matt Watson said about the X2 review he did . Just buy an X1 .

[flashsushi]

Is there even a marked difference in driving dynamics on a FWD-biased AWD BEV vs a RWD-biased AWD one?

[Ianmundo]

I just don’t believe BMW have it anymore with the current generation of cars, lots of cheap-looking piano black trim and headlights that look like they were designed for another car

[alanpatterson]

It might be great on your favourite road but not for £66, 000. You can get a used Porsche Taycan for that.

[PB-fjlh]

It's hideous. Worse in the flesh than in pictures. It looks like a cut n shut. All out of proportion. Holy moly it's genuinely one of the worst looking cars ever made.

[willhayes]

Would a labrador fit in the boot of the ix2?

[Lewis_Standing]

Drop it 20cm and call it a 2 series 5 door hatchback and i might be interested for £40k or less

[jaapboode]

This poorly equipped car, for this ridiculous price, is an insult to the car buyer. No wonder BMW is in big trouble.
