Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video of the BMW iX3:- The new iX3 is the first car of the Neue Klasse, a new generation of BMWs. It is the Bavarian brand's most important new car in 60 years, spawning 40 new or face-lifted BMW products in the next two years.
- It is an all-new car with a new platform, new battery pack, and new software systems to control the ride, handling, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
- The car’s approach to procuring materials and assembling them is also new and groundbreaking, making the iX3 nothing short of a reinvention of what a BMW product is. It is astonishing.
- All the electric models based on the multi-energy platform are flawed because they are petrol cars with batteries pushed in, which comes with limitations. This car is a bespoke electric vehicle from the ground up.
- It has an all-new design language, with the words “timeless, modern, and reduced” coming to mind. The chrome at the front is replaced with lighting, and the surfacing is cleaner with fewer creases and details.
- In the UK, approximately a third of the cars that BMW sells are electric. BMW is doing pretty well with electrification so far.
- Key features: The design is less shouty and more like a classic BMW. The car has a long bonnet, strong shoulders, and squared edges.
- Recyclability is an emphasis throughout the car, with 740 kilos of recycled materials.
- There is 20% more energy density in the batteries; that gives a real world range of roughly 440 miles
- There is 800-volt architecture, enabling 400-kilowatt charging speed.
- One super brain, one of four super brains, controls the riding and handling. With its computing power it can render physical hardware, like a limited slip differential or rear wheel steering, redundant, while improving performance and agility.
- Has lots of cubbies and cup holders and a wireless phone charger
- In summary, "efforts", "agile" "light footedness" are the design goals.
- Overall: the iX3 brings BMW up to speed with competing EVs and may even set them out in front thanks to several significant design and technological improvements.
