@@louisuhhh_4546 wtf it’s an electric car, it doesn’t need even need physical gears to get up to speed. Why is this even a “complaint”, if you want gears buy a petrol BMW lol.
Would be interesting if you could messure max. deceleration with the most aggressive recuperation setting. So B-Mode (shifter to the left) for the iX3...
When fuel prices soaring hurting gas-guzzling 4wd/FWD SUV e.g Tribute V6/Tucson V6/Captiva, hop on a luxury no-guzzling electric iX3 SUV but a word of advice it’ll be hard to afford one, too fast and heavy and the drive range run out of electricity, then go catch public transport on the cheap…
You actually don't need cars that accelerate so fast. About 8-9 sec to 62miles would be more than enough for me, if it could improve the range significantly
@@vorsprungdurchtechnik5 this. If they want range, look at a Tesla, or a Kia or Hyundai or whatever. It’s a BMW first of all so they’re gonna focus on driving dynamics before other things. It’s like complaining a BMW isn’t as efficient as a Toyota hybrid, it’s not exactly the purpose of the car.
@@jaredscott4829 True but that's if they're used for power which means a more powerful and expensive motor is needed, which takes away from the battery budget. All of these are made to contest at a certain price point.
210kw and 400Nm... that's like a naturally aspirated V6 3.5-ish. Sure... torque available just above zero RPM but what good is that when the 0-60km/h is no different to a naturally aspirated V6 3.5 also? 0-100km/h is also underwhelming.

Can we get an X3 M40i/M40d review?
Hearing to the engine revving had me in the first half 👂🏼🤚🏼

@PDriveTV... Did you get the optimum energy efficient speed? Much love from South Africa
What is the top speed then?
185 km/h
Thanks mate
But does it have heated seats?
Yes, as standard.
How does heating/cooling affect the range though?
@@firstofall3975 Not much... Seat heating uses about 60W which is 0,08% of the iX3s capacity when you let it run for 1h.
Why not test 80-120 km/h
115k???

That isn't how electric cars work. Putting in a smaller motor or limiting inverter output doesn't really improve motor efficiency.
I think what they mean is they want more batteries even at the expense of weight that would affect acceleration.
@@firstofall3975 more battery results in more power though...
Hence why the fastest BEVs have generally the largest batteries.

Is it ok for the Earth that a person weighing about 60-90kg takes 2500kg to reach food shop ?
Yes
Yes
I just called Earth - it’s OK

Very slow car with many other limits... Unfortunately.
