BMW Has finally released their first "True" Electric Vehicle - the BMW iX. But can a classic car maker even produce a good EV? Do they know how to build a "true" Electric Car, and not just an ICE Car that has had its engine replaced with a battery?
To find out, I traveled across the World to the country of Denmark, where I was given an iX40 for two weeks. Denmark is an extremely green country with very high EV adoptation, so I figured it would be the perfect place to test drive the iX.
Join me as I try to make sense of this car, and uncover its quirks, its strengths - and its ONE crucial flaw.
Is thi iX good enough to compete with Tesla?
You'll have to watch to find out.
