    Id love a look at if (we are also in Wellington) if you want to show it off? :)   You can compare it to our Tesla if you want. 

    We considered an iX3 and were all set, but bank pulled finance. I suspected at the time if the iX1 was available at the same time, I would get the iX1 over the iX3. Somehow its AWD, Faster, LARGER on the inside and cheaper than the iX3. Its a real weirdness of the BMW EV lineup. 

    No problem. What part of Wellington are you in? We are Newtown based.

    We considered the iX3 but as you say the iX1 is faster/AWD and I prefer the styling (obviously personal choice). The iX3 has slightly higher range but I don't think this will be an issue for us. Also its ~$20k cheaper :)

    That is the estimated date of the ship arriving into PoA, as it has only just left and has a few more ports of call that can move back quite a few issues with ports atm. SLA is 4 days to get a car off ship and off wharf (can take a lot longer in busy periods) then transport to Welly, PDI, groom… So it’s not a quick process!

    Thanks Jon :)

    Starting price (reserve) is set at the trade price. I’d rather someone who really wants one to have it at this price rather than a dealer!

    • 0-100km/h takes just 4.9 seconds
    • Rear wheel drive

    I was lucky enough to get the first of the new (U11) X1 to drive for a week, a real step up from the previous generation.

    Interior quality and feel was much better, in the same design themes as the iX models.

    Whilst it was the 18i petrol, not the BEV, it was still a remarkably good drive and response. I would the iX1 would be even more so with the increased power and added instant torque.

    Quite a few customers have now looked at and driven the petrol demos and placed iX1 orders off the back of it, so the response has been positive.

    Thanks Jon. I’ve reserved one through Continental in Wellington. Still waiting for final pricing though.

    Hi all

    I was wondering whether anyone is considering the new iX1? The reviews sound pretty good and I think it looks fantastic for a small SUV.

    300BHP as well which isn't must less than my admittedly much lighter M135i.
