Enjoying the serenity and pushing the limits of our iX1’s range

WHY WE'RE RUNNING IT
To see if BMW's entry EV is as impressive as its range-topper
In my last report, I mentioned that I had switched off the iX1's adaptive braking system, because it was inconsistent, uncomfortable to use and made me overly conscious of other road users around me.
Frankly, it's easily the best decision I've made since taking ownership of this electric SUV. The iX1 is now so much nicer to drive, and it has made me think about how one small change can turn a maligned driving experience into a genuinely pleasant one. I'm now far more relaxed when driving just about anywhere, be it through the crowded streets of Camden or the nastiness of the North Circular.

HOW PORSCHE IS PURSUING A QUIETER LIFE FOR OWNERS
NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) are three of the most important words in the engineering of new cars. They describe exactly that: noise and vibration generated from hundreds of sources, from the texture and undulation of the road surface to the entire drivetrain, tyres, brakes and structure of the car itself.

Max Verstappen was the standout Formula 1 driver of 2025 for me. That's not to denigrate new world champion Lando Norris in any way. In fact, I would argue the opposite is the case. That Norris prevailed in the tense Abu Dhabi finale does him huge credit because, as he will know only too well while reflecting on his hallowed new status, he did so in the face of an astonishing fightback from one of the true greats of motor racing.
