Just bought this car today. Wasn’t planning on this option, but the car has the bronze titanium package which means front grill and trim are all in bronze titanium. Wife thinks it a bit too much bling of ghetto, but makes my car standout from all the other Ix 50’s out there. BTW, the front grill is also bronze titanium which she neglected to mention.
I like it, the headlights look almost like an Acura MDX. I don’t understand how people praise the “looks” of the Hyundai Pallisade and throw shame on this iX. Does this car have a spare tire? And is it a full size spare? And where is it located?
I drove yesterday first time and the experience was fantastic. Comfortable and technological cockpit especially night time was felt as a big boss. Vast interior space and musical atmosphere was fantastic either 👌
*Question -* _Is the washer bottle opening, lockable?_ And if not, why not? I envisage some pesky prat opening that lid if you're stopped at a crossing and just walking away laughing.

Does BMW marketing department understand, that by saying constantly that your cars are very attractive does work counter productive.... How about, letting the viewer or the interviewing journalist be the judge. BMW cars are still great (though some designs really lost their connection with the BMW history), however execution of all soft managers at BMW fails unbelievablle hard.

@@bmwblog Thanks, I was not being serious :-) ....Registered my interest for the iX. Looking at late summer 2022 here in California. I currently have a X5 45e but the iX is proving the impetus to make me go 100% electric.

@@nessuno5403 many of the points you make are valid but we all have to start somewhere, like no longer using plastic bottles in the bathroom.

A close call between the kidney grill and the seat fabric. They are both hideous but I will go for the grill as they will give me a laugh when I see the ugliness of the grill behind me when driving my Audi etron.

If I can advice CEO of BMW, Mercedes Benz, and all other luxury car, please advocate DMV allow their customer has electrical signal VIN so everyone who own a beautiful car can get rid of ugly license plate.
What's your favorite feature on the BMW iX?
The grille surely is a favorite amongst the Beaver community 😂
Tesla Plaid
Anything that hides the front end look.
Why there is no glacier silver available?
whats the ground clearance in MM.. is it around 180
I have this bmw ix 50 and I love it!!
It's one of the best BMW Ihave owned
I just bought mine and its super Cool!!!
I thought I misheard - She did say over 40 speakers for the B&W sound system! Wow! Must be like a concert inside the car.
The only music device once needed on a BMW was its engine. Enough said 😜
@@nessuno5403 We'll miss that tumbling and roaring engine music for sure.
@@willblack2306 amen!
Yes, 40 speakers. It does sound incredible. The camera could not capture it properly
@@bmwblog Loving the iX!

Car looks cool and futuristic. A perfect "electric" family hauler.
It is definitely a good family hauler
Great interior, the exterior is another story...
The interior is perfect.
Love it. Just ordered mine today!
Hope you enjoy it! Color?
After a year now, can you please tell us your e perience?!
The latest from the new Beaver Motor Works 🦫😂
Impressive. Very nice.
This car is a dream
I like it, the headlights look almost like an Acura MDX. I don’t understand how people praise the “looks” of the Hyundai Pallisade and throw shame on this iX. Does this car have a spare tire? And is it a full size spare? And where is it located?
BMW should make the grill illuminated at night
They offer that on other models
I drove yesterday first time and the experience was fantastic. Comfortable and technological cockpit especially night time was felt as a big boss. Vast interior space and musical atmosphere was fantastic either 👌
Which model? 40 or 50?
*Question -* _Is the washer bottle opening, lockable?_

It only unlocks when the car is unlocked

It is part of their media training and it's kinda normal. Apple does the same with their phones and everyone else too. You need to market the product.
@@bmwblog Also known as nudge psychology!
@@bmwblog Marketing should be positive. Boasting about your own products is not positive. Just be objective, let the viewer decide. That is positive.

@@rofhiwanemavhola2938 Don't you think, people being able to buy an iX, don't have the capacity to make up their own minds?
Love it. My next car!
It's funny that BMW has Audi as sponsor 🙂 the billboard at the back!!
It's the airport in Munich which has Audi all over the place. That's all
@@bmwblog Still I would've chosen a different location or I would occupy the billboards myself...BMW, money no issue, right? 😀
With no frunk, what's under that enormous, non opening front hood?
No space there. See this article www.bmwblog.com/2021/09/06/2021-iaa-bmw-ix-the-flagship-crossover-makes-auto-show-debut/
The one consolation is that the grille doesn't look so bad in black. With other colours of the car though.....🙄
It looks great in all black
Needs more rear chisling
Gotta love the huge Audi ad in the background. Tricky bastards.
That sign has been there forever. Audi kinda took over the Munich airport, so nothing new really
@@bmwblog gotcha.
@58 there is an Audi rings reflection. Interesting........
It's the sign on the building across

It's not really a grille. More of a panel
Is it worth 85k us. Ish dont think so.
What would be a fair price? And what's the competition for it?
You have to really hate your core base to design a front end so hideous. BMW is now shooting themself in the foot with a machine gun.
Could do without the beaver teeth
A pitty for all the effort they put in.
What do you mean?
@@bmwblog

BMW got a Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2020. Maybe they should shift focus back on their core competency.

What did you put in the front that Tesla didn’t? #frunk #
No space for the frunk. I asked and looked under myself. Sure, they could have probably find some space if really needed....
Frunk doesn t matter if you have enough room in the boot.
Jesus, that thing is hideous. Such a shame, so many engineers spent countless hours developing a great car and one idiot designer ruined it all.
Still a great car. Drove one already

Recycled milk jugs with intervowen steel is not carbon fiber😂😂😂. Intelligent recycled materials. Aka Milk Jugs. They used the same stuff in i3.
