Should I Buy the 2025 BMW iX?
If the high starting price and buck-toothed front grille don’t deter you, the BMW iX is a spectacular electric SUV. Extremely quick and with strong driving-range estimates, the iX also boasts plenty of passenger space and cargo room. Ride and handling are equal parts sporty and comfortable; the iX absolutely glides down the road. The M60 delivers gobs of power, but it’s tough to justify its extra cost when the standard iX is so good.
