BMW IX Drive 50

[St Bernard]

Anyone, who does not go off-road, considering the BMW IX Drive 50? I saw that it was officially introduced. Size of the BMW X5. Same range as RIVIAN. Unfortunately has the ugly BMW Grill. Price is higher than RIVIAN by about $10k-15k with Options. They are saying delivery in Q1 2022.

I would consider it.

The grill really bothers me and BMW is infamous for unreliability and being expensive to maintain. I looked at a BMW X5 in 2018, and I asked each service advisor at the local BMW dealership if they owned a BMW and would recommend one to a family member. Every single one of them said they were fine to lease, but they would never consider purchasing one to keep beyond the warranty period. I also really dislike the direction BMW is going regarding nickel-and-diming their customers for features -- including subscriptions where they are not necessary -- such as heated seats.

I think BMW has thrown away every positive attribute they once stood for, and now it's a cash grab for every poser and soccer mom they can find.

Bummer about March 1, 2022.

Anyone else notice that it comes with the electrochromic roof? Sad we lost this feature in the Rivian.

I was thinking about pre-ordering IX 50 not knowing when my LE-R1S will be delivered (whether its 2021 or 2022 or 2023). The 82+K price point put me off due to upcoming EV incentives plan.
