I DRIVE THE BMW IX FOR THE FIRST TIME - WOULD I BUY THIS OVER TESLA MODEL X?

EV Channels Review

Dave's first drive of the BMW iX M60 reveals a luxurious and comfortable electric SUV, though not without its quirks. While he praises the refined interior, smooth ride, and impressive range (exceeding EPA estimates with a real-world test of around 340 miles at 70 mph), he remains critical of the polarizing front-end styling. Dave notes that despite the 'M60' designation, it's not a performance-focused M car but rather a comfortable cruiser, with sport mode feeling rough. He highlights the lack of a towing option in the US as a significant drawback. Ultimately, while Dave appreciates the iX M60's qualities and would be happy to drive one, he wouldn't personally purchase it, primarily due to the styling and his preference for other EV experiences, though he acknowledges it as a strong competitor in the luxury EV SUV segment against models like the Tesla Model X and Rivian R1S.
