There’s no point obsessing, or groaning, over the size and shape of BMW’s kidney grilles any longer — they’re large, make a statement one way or the other, and they’re here to stay. The one on the BMW iX? Especially so, considering it’s been treated with self-healing paint! And that’s especially fitting since it’s BMW’s first all-electric crossover, and the flag bearer of a BMW future that will be increasingly electric — the company hopes to capture half of all global electric car sales by 2030. Ambitious enough but if the BMW iX is any indication of how serious BMW are about that, it’s an ambition to take seriously. The iX is BMW’s technological flagship, built on their first bespoke EV architecture since the i3, and one that likely won’t be adapted going forward making it truly bespoke. It’s all been enough for BMW to sell out its first allotment of 50 cars for India soon after its launch. Is it really that good?
