Arrives first quarter of 2023. Embarrassed is not the word. :oops:
Hey, I'm doing my bit for the environment and helping the German economy. I've got 6 months to fiddle the 'leccy to help with charging!

I went for the 50i version, 523hp of washing machine motor. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and full power for 45 seconds before it needs a 3 pin socket.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.

I sat inside one in a Dutch dealers the other week and had a good poke around. The interior plastics are creakier than a crooked old creaker with an extra slice of creak for the weekend!
The sales guy advised me that what i was prodding wasn't a control surface. I said 'coulda fooled me matey'.
:lol:
bmws these days man. Proper plastic not fantastic and that includes the G29 in my book.

I like the iX and had a test drive in one a couple of months ago. I am obviously in the minority on this thread, but hey my taste is often quite different to others, which I like.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

I had an ix4 for a day and a bit and I must say the front is ugly the back was pretty good. The inside had so much tech and it drove brilliantly. Had a nice turn of speed to. If I had unlimited funds then maybe I would have one but I’d have a good look around at the competition first.

Maybe dynamite. Too extreme? It is a BMW still, after all.
