king hideous 
Have no issue admitting that I am a BMW fanboy, have owned a number of models over the years but the EV lineup is tragic in the looks department. Although I saw a fairly new 7 series yesterday near Moorgate and I shook my head in despair so its not just the EV ones which are ugly. king hideous They are an astonishingly ugly car and at that (real) price, it is amazing that anyone has one. Even if financed, then the costs must be eyewatering on a monthly basis.
I suppose the only people with them are company car drivers who work for companies that need to get rid of some cash in the ugliest way possible...

They shifted 4500 units of the iX in the UK last year which for a £70k-£120k range of cars is pretty good, XM has utterly bombed though.
Not difficult to see why..The iX's will pretty much all have gone to company car drivers and are depreciating like a stone with AUC cars for sale at < £40k at 2 years old with minimal mileage. In a years time they'll likely tumble again when a load of 3 year old lease cars hit the market.

Same as any EV then. The iX's will pretty much all have gone to company car drivers and are depreciating like a stone with AUC cars for sale at < £40k at 2 years old with minimal mileage. In a years time they'll likely tumble again when a load of 3 year old lease cars hit the market.
I collected my iX xDrive40 last week and I couldn't be happier (actually I could if it had another 100 miles in the range but that would mean the iX 60 which was out of budget)
Mine is leased by my company so costs me £67 a month in BIK. It's a no brainer. 95%+ of my journeys are well below 200 mile round trip and I have a charger at home so I will very rarely need to use a public charger.
I found the looks challenging when it was first launched but it's grown on me and I now really like the quirky modern styling. And it is amazing to drive. The performance is incredible and the drive is sublime.
I guess it helps that I have a TVR in garage for when I need that V8 hit.
