I’m jealous of the ironing on Corey’s pants. Not a single crease. He looks like an astronaut on vacation with those sunglasses.

[zollotech]

Sandy is the first person I have heard say this looks stunning or even good. All the latest BMW’s are hideous sadly. Saw one of these in person and wish they would change designers or something and definitely agree with Corey. I used to aspire to them, but yikes. But to each their own.

[fordnut]

I love that Sandy and Corey have their own Opinions.

[allamasadi]

I think Corey has improved so much as a presenter on this channel

[Steph]

1:39 Corey: “it’s a blend of i3 and..”, Sandy: “are you f*ing high?”
2:18 Sandy: “this could’ve been Tesla’s real competition”, Corey: “how high are you???“

So many questions pop in my mind watching this:
That giant hood and bloated exterior and barely room for 2 suitcases?
Why does a brand new $104k car have terrible scratched black plastic B-pillars(I am not a Tesla fanboy, but glass looks better).
No adjustable headrest? During a collision, shorter people are going to end up with that plastic/metal thing in the back of their scull.
And I don’t care how expensive Alcantara is, all of that stuff looks like my grandmother’s 1980’s velour furniture.

I'm with Cory on the front grille. It's totally pointless on an electric car and I'm nearly as old as Sandy.

[bachmannate]

I love watching Corey’s transformation. He’s morphing into a certified legend !! 👊🏼

[Brendon]

Completely agree with Cory on the front grille. I saw one today here in Massachusetts, and with a front license plate it looks even worse. Genuinely looks like two buck teeth with a front plate on.

[maickelwand]

You have gotten so good at making these videos. I really enjoy the honesty, the kindness and the enormous amount of knowledge that make these videos outstand the vast majority of Youtube content.

[paulo]

Sandy needs to look up the patent on Tesla charging and it's pledge. There's many provisions that no company in their right mind would agree to, including access to unrelated patents. Last I checked, there was also no promise that Tesla won't apply licensing fees in the future.

The government made the right decision as long as Tesla maintains these terms.

[aurelio-reymilaorcabal]

That BUCKTEETH grill looks like it ready to chomp on your knee., Sandy us about to pull his hair out " What no Frunk ?", such a tall car hood and all that wasted space means that BMW has yet to optimize BEV design.

[donswier]

Sandy's teardown of the i3 REx 8 years ago is why we have one.
Looks? Function over Form ☺️

[techboy]

Those infotainment controls are so succulent 😂😂😂

[gelisob]

21:30 those charging door covers are very nice! like nissan leaf has. Much better than dangling stupid plastic pieces that you need to pull and push. Not that easy in dark. Also seals properly from elements.

[thecuke]

I'm working in the paint shop of the german BMW plant in Dingolfing. This is the only plant where the iX is being built. So, this specific car is from us! I am very proud you like our product this much. Btw, I am a Tesla investor, too 😉

[Michelsso]

Man I loved every second of this video. Even the Lariat boots review at the end. Great work guys

[flsal]

Good for the carbon fibre reinforced plastic but what about reparability?

[iansanderson]

That door-mounted seat switch was likely an inexpensive move — using the can bus already present for the window switch, door lock, latch release, etc.

[ThisaraGamalath]

The back is definitely a lot better looking than the front in my opinion
