    Jesus there is some mind numbing chat in this thread... does it actually matter what the cost of a battery is? It has a 7 year warranty I assume so it's a non issue what it costs now, ask again in 7 years. New vehicle parts always cost a stupid amount when under warranty and drop down afterwards.

    Not to mention it's not like you will ever buy an iX, you've made that clear so does it matter?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they are reducing the quality of materials inside some of these 12v car batteries due to such high demand of the materials, this means they can reduce costs and make more, at the cost to the consumer so they don't last as long

    I remember various instances of OEM batteries lasting 10-15 years in cars before being changed, wasn't uncommon to see a 90s or early 00s BMW with the OEM battery still working. Now you're lucky to get a half to a third of that lifespan. 

    Something has definitely changed. 

    While I don't doubt that some of this is true, modern cars demand a lot more of the electrical system. So much so the G05 has a separate battery to run the active roll bars

    Doing a search, you're right it's called a "virtual restomod", wow. That is phenomenal detail for rendered images. CAD systems have come so far with the 3D modelling now, as you can tell I can't work out what is real and what is "virtual". Other images have complete detail in the engine bay (M5 V8).

    Look up the kyza. One of the most popular artists who people have then built those cars in real life. Also spawned the Live To Offend wide body kits

    Are you kidding?? A different one! 

    It's not like these are common either. I don't know how many worldwide were made but I know there were only 20 made for the states in AW on Mtex. Even fewer without a sunroof. Who knows how many were made RHD for the rest of the world but not many. To see two get imported in 2 weeks is very surprising...

    Na its the same one
