EV general discussion

Slamming a couple of self tappers into the boot is pretty special but I'm honestly surprised that any great quantity of water got in there while the self tappers were holding the plate in place.

Yes, exactly like that :D

I was looking my small phone screen sorry, should have zoomed in.

You can see how the actual manufacturer holes are designed to prevent ingress with the raised dimples. This is typical shoddy crap from the reseller.

Yesterday we visited North Oxford BMW to take out an i5 M60 in Oxide Grey. After an extended test drive we both agreed it was the replacement for the iX. Seating position was more traditional and it has thigh bolsters along with extending under thigh support, which the iX doesn't have either. The car itself has all the options we want, except pano roof, but that we decided was an acceptable compromise.

The drive was excellent. The power and acceleration was something else, with 600bhp and that EV torque. Handling was leagues better than the iX and the suspension made for a more comfortable ride. The iX really needs that air suspension. A much more handsome car compared to the iX.

Hoping to pick it up next week after they sort a few bits.

2024 i5 M60 in Oxide Grey. 22k miles.

M Sport Pro Pack
Comfort Pack
Technology Pack

Nice choice. You will get less miles than the iX3, i get around 270 miles in the summer weather and 200 miles in winter. You've got the comfort seats too which i found nicer/comfier than the M seats, the bolster controls are a bit faffy and don't work as you would expect, so worth reading up about how they work.

I don’t think we have comfort seats, the bolsters are fixed.
 
Can't see the pictures anymore as they've taken them down, it looked like you had comfort seats rather than the M performance seats. You get them with the comfort plus pack. And also apologies (just moved house so heads a mess) i meant the lumbar support controls with 4 directional arrows if you have them, rather than bolster support.
 
I don't think it had the comfort seats, the comfort plus pack is very rare (even on the M60). The best bit about them is the tilting upper backrest!

Have to say personally I really do not miss manual - it feels like such a step back in time driving anything manual now.
