Sportstick wroteBeg to differ, the better option is to have a proper opening sunroof with a sliding shade, rather than following the trendFrom the description I was given, yes, but I don't know how easy/quick is the attachment system. I was told it will blend in to look fully finished when installed. I will install it on day 1 and it will be permanent. The only better option would be if they allow sunroof delete for a fully steel roof!
sahajesh wroteI should have said "better for me". Apologies. There is no such thing as an objective "better". All opinions by humans are inherently subjective. In this case, the difference in climate makes one choice subjectively preferable for you, while the opposite is true here where temperatures can reach 120F in Summer. In my two current BMWs with sunroofs, they are never open, nor revealed by sliding the shade. Never. We particularly ordered my wife's Macan with a steel roof, a choice Porsche offers that BMW should follow. A steel roof vs. a sunroof also increases interior headroom in the absence of the module effectively lowering the headliner, creating another subjective preference difference if one is underendowed with height.Beg to differ, the better option is to have a proper opening sunroof with a sliding shade, rather than following the trend
Sportstick wroteAgree, likewise a proper sunroof is the only choice for me, not a big pane of glass with limited photochromic capability or a gloomy interior.I should have said "better for me".

sahajesh wroteI had to look that one up, but now that I know what it means, I agree!Horses for courses, unless you are BMW.
OHV_44 wroteI'm so ready for this unveiling. I hope BMW doesn't fucking ruin the interior like they did on the x3.Today at BMW Welt in Munich.

OUGrad05 wroteIt's a good car. Stay tuned on Friday. I got 2 videos with itI'm so ready for this unveiling. I hope BMW doesn't fucking ruin the interior like they did on the x3.
I'm holding out hope that an iX3 will make sense next. Otherwise I guess it's Rivian or Lucid.
ynguldyn wroteI did from Model S. I know other people who did. You can check both Tesla and BMW forums. In the US most EVs are second cars, people still buy ICE and it does not make sense to own one unless you also own home with garage for charging.No one who's bought an EV wants to go back to ICE.

LazyBear wroteThe last large-sample survey data our company had showed a 19% defection rate among EV owners who intend for their subsequent vehicle to be ICE. That sample may include (presumably young) first-time owners who chose EV as their first vehicle as well as others who have owned multiple vehicles in their lives.I did from Model S.

I have read the entire thread, people quote serious documents to you and all you post back is links to Wikipedia or news from EV sites.
Sportstick wroteIn my neighborhood all people who own EV also own ICE car. Typically EV to drive to work and big family SUV for outings and sport. Like Model Y + Toyota ICE SUV, Model S + Subaru Accent, BMW i3 + Volvo XC90, that kind of stuff.The last large-sample survey data our company had showed a 19% defection rate among EV owners who intend for their subsequent vehicle to be ICE.
asyvan wroteStart of production.The information suggests iX3 M60 in 7/26 (July 2026). Does that mean orderable from that date, or start of delivery that date, or something else?
Jean-Paul wroteIf it still is, then announcement is imminent since the 40 has the same production date and has already been announcedIs the expected start of production date for the M60 still 7/26? Would be nice if it can be ordered this summer. Living in the Netherlands.
