You can see the limitations from this platform not being pure EV. Despite being longer than an iX, they couldn't fit the 111.5kwh battery in the G60 package.

It's a static image when you look at it on a phone. What am I missing?

Very efficient use of space as they could fit ofcourse. Where is the battery for mild hybrid powestrains? Is that one in the back behind rear axle of small enough that not visible.
Wonder if something changed from that standpoint w.r.t. existing I-6 mild hybrid 540 G30 chassis.

It just me or is the ICE variant seemingly front mid engined? No wonder there is so much front-overhang.

I wonder what's the weight distribution with both?

They “couldn’t” fit it? Or they just “didn’t” fit it? Unless they flat out stated “the largest battery we could fit was this one” then I would fathom a guess that making sure there was no impinging on the (much more expensive) i7 was as much or more of a driving factor in the battery capacity decision as space was.

Why the electric version still has the drive shaft tunnel??
That would happen when they try to make an electric car based on the chassis of an conventional car. It will have a hard time to complete with cars that are made purely based on electric platform (practicality , weight, design), mainly upcoming new Tesla S. |

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

It's amazing that given the space the ICE takes up,...that there isn't a thought to add any "Frunk" space. Also, I have to admit,...and based on the animation, the ICE setup appears to be way more complexed than the BEV setup! Surprising!!!

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!

Now, I'm prolly just speaking for myself,...but I'd take the X5's design over the iX all day long. Lastly, I know BMW doesn't want to hear this,...but that upcoming Chevy eBlazer design language looks very promising! ijs

Also, the 4er GC is a gran coupe, which is much more efficient from a drag coefficient than a SUV/SAV. Quote:
I did not realize this until now, but it looks like the next generation of X5 and X7 will make your wishes come true, i.e. the iX5/X5 and iX7/X7 will be the same chassis, similar to the i5/5 and iX3/LWB X3. Let's wait and see whether those will be more BEV or ICE optimized. Quote:
