That’s how I feel when driving current-generation BMWs.
Anyway, enough with the analogies. The IX is made at BMW’s Chinese production facility, when all the export costs are factored in, entry level prices start from an eyewatering £74,400 for a vehicle that offers a real world range of around 325 miles on a single charge.

Elevated trims, including a redesigned M Sport package, offer a bold exterior design that seamlessly extends to the interior. Customers can choose from seven new exterior paint finishes, optional 23-inch M light-alloy wheels, and BMW’s signature Iconic Glow for the kidney grille.
new aerodynamically optimised 21- and 22-inch M light-alloy wheels, among other exclusive design features. An additional set of 23-inch M light-alloy wheels are available for the first time and are unique within this segment.
