The BMW IX2 is designed for people who want something slightly practical, kind of posh, and makes a real statement about it's bold design. Is it any good? Rory finds out.

Actually it's quite interesting who are BMW's main customers nowadays. Cheap inside, ugly outside. Far away when they hooked me. But I'm half century age. I grew up with E28, E30, E32, E34, E36, E39 and last ones were E46 and E60. After that this brand started to look too bad for my eyes and stomach.

@r3h4n786 Ай бұрын

The e92 was a good looking car too, even today i think the LCI one has aged well, few cosmetic mods and it can be a headturner

@shaungingerafro Ай бұрын

i agree as my last car was a 68 plate 320 shadow edition last of its shape. loved the shape, loved the car and eventually the no feel steering, i got used too. after 4 years they wanted £200 a month more to replace it. Now they want us to pay for ugly and overpriced non rear wheel drive cars. unfortunately the basic price is unbelievably expensive and most extras that are standard on other cars and are only accessed on additional subscription's via Apps. Seriously disappointed as i've always been a fan. 😢

Now that I own an iX2, I can confirm this is a very biased review. Really fun to watch and enjoyed a lot though. For example, AC/heater doesn't blow very fast, but it can get super cold or super hot so it doesn't need to. It is a lot more comfortable when air isn't blasting at your face but can still change temperature inside the car very quickly. The car looks beautiful and stands out compared to electric cars without a grill. I would say, you need to see it in person.

Rory, I usually reserve judgement until I see a car IRL. I'm rather afraid to see it IRL. This from a guy that bought an E30 325is back in the day while others were buying Camaros, Firebirds and Mustangs... The E30 grew on me over time and the way it drove and handled, even compared to contemporary Corvettes was amazing. This one looks, well, unfortunate.

@SnowHarp 2 ай бұрын

Really good review and video - thank you for sharing. Agreed this car looks strikingly like a Skoda with the centre bonnet troughing. It baffles me why BMW have chinched on the rear seat space - why would they do that? You made some good observations about the interior design and I wonder how much influence came from China where people tend to be physically smaller than many Europeans and North Americans. We have an X3 M40i and the rear seats are a cramped when we are travelling as a family (5) with three passengers in the back. I like the single cell phone clamp idea and wish we had something like that as well as a second spot for my missus to put her cell phone instead of upright in the cup holders. Another oversight. Overall, I will not be looking at the iX2 despite your glowing review. The software looks too busy, lacks elegance and I have learned to my chagrin, once you buy a BMW and drive away; you are stuck with the software you have until the end. They create updates but make up excuses NOT to update existing vehicle iDrive systems saying they are unable to create new versions without conflicts. I find that pathetic.

I find it fascinating. The subjective opinions of design. I have always been an Audi fan and have owned many over the last 20 years or so. I was never a fan of the old BMW "design language." Now, Ironically, when the masses are slating BMW for their bold diversion with the design language. I find myself jumping ship from Audi. We traded the Audi for the X4M Competition. And now Im trading the VW in for one of these! I absolutely love what BMW has done over the last couple of years or so. Very bold and brave. The exact opposite of Audi, in my opinion. The brand new Q5 has exactly the same interior as my old one from 2018. I feel Audi are dragging their heels with innovation at the moment. whereas BMW is throwing away the conventional and embracing new design and innovation. It seems that everything that people hate about this car is what I like about it. Make sense of that 😂🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
