🪫⚡Sidenote: I wanted to know, how much battery the iX1 loses when parked outside in winter. So I left it outside for three weeks at an average temperature of 1 C° - the batter lost -1% only. ❄🥶
Great video, thank you very much. It would have been cool if you had ridden a downhill section in B mode instead of D. I would have been interested to see whether the car stays on track when braking due to recuperation. Definitely the first real snow video with the IX1 👍👍
in this case, where I was driving for fun, the car was in Sport (with DSC off). If I am commuting, I prefer the system to be on, so I am in Personal Mode :)
Thanks, nice driving. We got our first - heavy wet - snow in Bavaria 2 weeks ago. My BMW iX1 30M had no problems at all ,but not really a good test under proper cold/icy snow conditions. I saw a comment about "B" -One Pedal - Mode selection. I would think that would be worse in downhill traction, but would be great if you could try it out before I wrap my car around a tree!
Its like downshifting in a gas car, the wheels dont lock up. Scary thing about downhill on ice is you either choose stearing or breaking. One pedal gives you an extra choice. I love BMWs and they do amazing in snow, and more people need to buy them here in Alaska and other snowy climates.
Good question!⚡🔋 Unlike a combustion engine, an electric motor delivers its power over an extremely wide speed range, which is why the iX1 does not need a gearbox.

Very good input, I admit.. will try it next time, promise!🙏🏼
Looks fun :)
Thank you for this video!
What mode are you driving in in the snow ? I have an iX1 but don’t think I’ve found the right mode yet 🤦♀️

What kind of tires did you have on ? Simple winter tires or studded tires ? thanks :)
No, literally just a set of new winter tires.

thank you! what do you recommend doing when the car starts slipping ?
hey Marina! just go off the trottle and the car will find traction again :)🙏🏼
Is there a defect that with the automatic gearbox the number of gears in Drive is not displayed?
