Why did you choose the BMW iX3?
To go greener and it was a special offer via the NHS lease scheme.
Positives
- Extremely nice drive
- Perfect for a family size car
- Low running cost.
Negatives
- The wheels aren’t the nicest
- The car can sometimes be a bit too clever for its own good
- Would have been nice to have a split tailgate on it perhaps.
Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?
None so far but then again only had the car for 3 weeks. If it’s anything like our MINI Electric then I would think it’ll be just as good. I am not anticipating there being any faults.
What are the standout tech features of your BMW iX3?
- The app to do various things on your car remotely, like preconditioning. It’s nice to have a warm car ready for you of a morning.
- The adaptive regeneration braking system is pretty handy
- A good size car also.
