Just now, because I still can't believe it, I looked at the youtube thumbnail for this video and I said "oh my god" 3 different times while laughing. I'm in total disbelief over that grille. It doesn't even seem real.

Something has to be done about this.

Seen a lot of iXs where I live, more so then say X7s. Seeing more and more i4s now, but they have been on heavy allocation for the past year plus...I know, I ordered one before cancelling.

I expect the same with this XM - no dealer wants $160k product collecting dust on their showroom. It doesn’t excel in performance, styling, luxury or efficiency. It also doesn’t speak to BMW’s M buyers. Complete and utter fail.

The Alpina X7 is much more desirable imo.

Btw all the electric models are not selling at all - iX, i4

Someone who knows BMW'S better can answer, but from my understanding, the i4, i5 are electric sedans and the iX models are electric SUV's. On the other hand, the 40i and 50i ("I" at the end) are gasoline models

I think that's an x4 or X6. The iX is much more distinctive and more like a wagon.

Took this pic yesterday of my work's parking lot.....in a sea full of Tesla's, the iX stands out and doesn't look that bad lol

Correct, although the i5 is not yet available. It was just teased last week.

Yep, the car in the picture is an X4.

Yep that’s an X4. after refresh, right? That M package in the bumper is so weird looking imo. It’s a lot worse on light colors. I think before the change it looked nice. Actually not as to your face like X6.

the silicon valley do have a special interest in ev not just tesla then. I have only seen iX twice. I see a few X5/7 and other German suvs every drive. I see more mb ev some reason. Imo except the pruce, iX is more comparable to X5.

This is true. The i4 35 just started moving but only because it now has a $7500 lease rebate. Nothing on the i4 40 which means that will sit until they do the same. No reason to get a 40 over a 35 right now.

Tell him send them here! They will sell for sure. I run into lots of EQS and the Mercedes SUV (EQB?) My friend just bought an i4, he's waiting for delivery to the dealership

I don't live in Cali. I see at least one a day here. The quickest selling 7 here is the i7 also, gas 7s can be had with big discounts. Mercedes EQ SUVs still have markups.

I think it’s more like it’s where he works. Last time I was in the bay area I was surprised I didn’t see as many tesla on road as I thought I would. About the same I saw around me.
