Tell us something people wouldn’t readily know about this BMW iX3
Looks like a normal BMW but fully electric. Love the ‘illuminated carpet’ lights that guide you to the car at night. Looks cool in the dark. Love the app that allows you to open and close and pre heat/cool the car.
What electric car are you interested in next and why?
Just got this so not thinking about another for now but was keen on the Jaguar I-PACE but lead time was too long and a lot more than the BMW
