I shouldn’t worry too much.

You’ll just be spending your life in the slow lane worrying about where the next exorbitant public charger is.

You could probably spend a few thousand on an old petrol car and do the same and save yourself a pile of cash.

No tax benefit - company stopped offering petrol car

BMW are renowned for being the most expensive regular car to maintain and repair.

I'm not sure how good their warranty is but guaranteed it's not a patch on lexus/Toyota.

Dont go anywhere near an electric Lexus. Book range of around 175 miles you'll be lucky to get 90. If you have to go electric, the new Ioniq5N. My colleagues and I deliver hundreds of new and nearly new cars of every make every day.

Finally a verdict - my 2016 BMW 520D M sports is a lot better car when it comes to driving experience. IX is nowhere closer to it - I am gonna return it, will check the Genesis GV70 next

..and both appeal, for some reason, to the swanky lout market.

I feel slightly sorry for any non louts who drive them and get associated with the image. The swanky, I have no sympathy for!

Its full of Chinese components and not as reliable as BMWs used to be. Have a bit of sense. Instead of buying a new X1, buy a really good second-hand fab car like a 911 or Bentley Continental: something amazing compared to the X! It won't depreciate as swiftly, and you'll have more fun not following the unimaginative BMW crowd. Think outside the box if you are spending 30-40 grand on a car.
