I'm not sure you'd call the iX a properly designed EV. No maximization of space, just a big house with small interior.

They should have skipped the iX and just provided a Full EV G05 X5! The model lineup would look like this:
X5 40i (...ICE as we know it)
X5 45e (current PHEV as we know it)
X5 50e (current PHEV as we know it)
X5 M50i (current ICE as we know it)
X5 M60i (current ICE as we know it)
X5 M55ie (new Full BEV Model,...Dual Motors)
X5 M60ie (new Full BEV model,...Dual Motors and more power)
X5 M70ie (new Full BEV model,...Tri-Motors,...with crazy power! There would be 1 motor up Front and two motors in the Rear.
This is what BMW should have done! No one asked for an iX model. BMW has to realized that their loyal customers want their BMW to look like a BMW first and foremost vs some new look they're not accustomed to.
Just imagine the $million$ in R&D spent on the iX,..that could have been allocated to the X5 and X7 chassis! Also, speaking of the X7, I may as well add what the X7 lineup would look like to this post:
X7 40i (current ICE as we know it)
X7 45e (new PHEV model)
X7 50e (new PHEV model)
X7 M50i (current ICE as we know it)
X7 M60i (current ICE as we know it)
X7 M55ie (new Full BEV Model,...Dual Motors)
X7 M60ie (new Full BEV model,...Dual Motors and more power)
X7 M70ie (new Full BEV model,...Tri-Motors,...with crazy power!) There would be 1 motor up Front and two motors in the Rear.
The above Models would have be quite easy for BMW to design,...engineer and market!
Note to BMW,...You're Welcome!
