HELLO AGAIN FROM GERMANY! RENTING AN ELECTRIC BMW IX FROM SIXT & COVERING SOME DISTANCE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer, Kyle, explores the electric rental car experience in Germany by renting a fully-specced BMW iX M60 from Sixt. He highlights the convenience of the rental process and the car's impressive performance, particularly its stability and quietness at high Autobahn speeds, reaching up to 160 mph. The reviewer praises the advanced driver assistance systems, the luxurious Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and the vehicle's efficiency on the highway, noting an average of 2 miles per kWh even when driven hard. However, he observes a noticeable drivetrain power limit at high speeds, which he finds surprising for an M-badged vehicle, though it still allows for very high cruising speeds. The charging experience was mixed, with a positive encounter at a Tesla Supercharger after an initial issue with an El-loaded charger. Overall, Kyle is impressed with the iX M60 as a rental option for covering long distances in Germany, despite the minor power limitation.
