Caporegime
Seen a Mach-E hearse and limo earlier today. It was a very bizarre sight.
When are you going fully electric?

The Born deal I was looking at was £337 a month with 1k upfront so much cheaper than anything else I could find for 12k miles and 2 years.
The MG4 is £375 but hideous and range isn’t enough

Weird, every friend, neighbour and family member who have seen our MG4 think it looks great
They probably being polite. The side is so big and slab like they had to ‘slim’ it with the black panels.Weird, every friend, neighbour and family member who have seen our MG4 think it looks great

It’s not offensive like an iX but I’d never own one
When I see an iX/M3/M4 or any other BMW with the new grill it makes me irrationally angry.
I had an iX behind me recently and it was horrible having it in my rear view mirror for 15 minutes

It’s not cheap looking, it’s cheap feeling.
And my main show stopper is that there’s 0 value in swapping out my 19 plate G20 320d for one when the upfront cost of change is about £3,000 and I save £200 a month at most :/

Did they give you a reason for that? Before I got the Leaf I was on the tracker. The day I got the Leaf I switched to Go and it was instant. The day I got my charger installed I switched to Intelligent Go and again it was instant so it seems strange that they are making you wait until November 1st. I would give the a call the day you have the charger installed.

We can't get out of contract with our current supplier unless we pay £150

Some people are so weird when it comes to cars, I could have Chitty Chitty Bang Bang behind me and I wouldn't give a toss
"OMG I followed an <insert care here> on the motorway for an hour and it ruined my life"

Chitty chitty bang bang is cool though. There's nothing cool about an iX. Straight up irritating and a waste of resources.
Someone was paid to design that, and BMW are happy using resources to mass produce it
It's an insult to engineering and design
unfortunately Meganes seem to be holding 2yr 2nd hand value better than id3 ~ £20K vs £15K - so the market agrees;
the big batteried born/id3 with the newer efficient drivetrain catching up though, pity it's not going de-tuned into smaller battery versions.
Id3 were 34k 2 years ago. How much e tech. Borns seem to hold value a bit better than id3.
What’s this new drivetrain ? It’s hardly been out 2 months so how can they be catching up. There’s probably not one second hand one for sale yet.

It’s unlikely to be the car.
I’d suggest looking on the Zappi Facebook groups for any outages last night.
Love the colour. Unfortunately out of stock by the time my order went in so I'm having to make do with Silver. Getting delivered on Friday.ID7 Tourer Arrived on Thursday.
First impressions are great. Averaging 4m/kwh in the rain over the last couple of days, which was a pleasant surprise.
It's very comfy, and the standard suspension feels good. I'm coming from an Arteon elegance and Cupra Born and that's really my only reference. Softer than the Cupra.
I'm not a 'machine is an extension of man' type of chap so my driving thoughts should be taken in that context. It's nice, enough poke and appears to be doing what it's told. I've not crashed into anything yet so that's a good sign.
I like the travel assist, it other than needing to touch the steering wheel it really does just drive itself on A roads and above. Some will hate this, I like the fact it will almost drive me all the way home.
Seats are great (standard) and the massage is surprisingly eager.
The infotaintment is quick and works well. The HUD is great and massive.
Not loving the App, although it's not awful. Syncing the range and charging is a mixed experience, with the range subject to some variability without the car moving.
IDA is an interesting gimmick, although has promise replacing my wife as tour guide.
Foot-boot opening appears to have been deleted from the standard spec in the UK, shame as this was something i did use on the Arteon when my hands were full.
Happy to answer any questions.

Had my first proper run in the ID.7. 250 mile round trip to Heathrow. Averaged 3.9m/Kwh car full of people and luggage. It’s warm still so ideal conditions for range. Range seems good for 300.

fine, if you(they) have cheaply leased/maintained byd's for taxi business great for uber - but doesn't help the man on the street with longer term ownership cost of such a vehicle.

And it won't impact you either since the closest you'll get to a BEV is coming to comment in this thread, right? Or, perhaps you'll get a cheaper uber fare and a ride in one of theirs.
