Mostly, though, we discuss the all-new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/26\/bmw-ix-one-month-review\/\">BMW iX<\/a>, which Kyle had the chance to drive recently and came away impressed with.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle has been a BMW fan for a long time and has owned several gas-powered Bimmers in his day. However, he also enjoys driving an electric car for daily use and has owned three BMW i3s and would even like to own a fourth, if he can find a BMW i3S for the right price, in the right spec. However, it\u2019s the iX we wanted to talk about more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Being one of the few members of US-based media to drive the iX in the \u2018States, we wanted to get his take on it. The car he drove was the BMW iX xDrive50, with its 516 horsepower, 564 lb-ft dual-motor setup. During his time with it, he seemed to really appreciate it, the way it drove, and even the way it looked. The iX seems to be a car that\u2019s impressing anyone that drives it, even if they dislike its looks. If people can get past its unusual design, it seems they\u2019re in for a real treat with the iX.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-416709\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-830x546.jpg\" alt=\"BMW iX Flow Featuring E Ink 10 of 24 830x546\" width=\"830\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-830x546.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-1557x1024.jpg 1557w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-1536x1010.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24.jpg 1642w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW iX Flow Featuring E Ink 10 of 24 830x546\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-416709\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20546%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-830x546.jpg\" alt=\"BMW iX Flow Featuring E Ink 10 of 24 830x546\" width=\"830\" height=\"546\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-830x546.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-1557x1024.jpg 1557w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24-1536x1010.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/BMW-iX-Flow-Featuring-E-Ink-10-of-24.jpg 1642w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW iX Flow Featuring E Ink 10 of 24 830x546\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Kyle was also in attendance at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/07\/bmw-ix-my-modes-demo\/\">CES 2022<\/a>, where he was able to see the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/01\/14\/making-of-bmw-ix-flow\/\">BMW iX Flow,<\/a> with the brand\u2019s new color changing E Ink technology.
