IKR, give me the battery and charging speed of the IX3 in the body of the R2. Not a big fan of the IX3 styling
How do you get on this list?

It is impressive. Its charging speed, range and technology, including the 360 information screen just under the windshield are intriguing. We have a deposit on the R2 and when it comes out, we will sell our 2023 Chevrolet bolt EUV next year when our Ioniq 5 lease expires, we will likely get the IX3 to replace it.
Not sure if this will become official but I am feeling the need to do the I told you so dance. The EV range model from the previous page would suggest that this is an achievable EPA result.
I don’t see any scenario where a well‑optioned max‑range model comes in anywhere near the stated $60K MSRP. That number is about as realistic as the mythical $45K R2 being available anytime soon. A few on here insist it will. We'll see.
The main make it or break it point is likely going to be dealing with dealerships and absurd markups between the BMW iX3, Volvo EX60 and Mercedes Benz GLC EV vs the R2. While the range and charging is nowhere the other 3, that alone is making me keep the reservation for the R2. Dealerships are not fun.
BMW said pet mode will come with a software update
Did he get 507 miles of actual range?!
Do you have a link to this? Is it a true pet mode, or simply the current occupancy detection mode that activates the HVAC if it detects a human or pet in the vehicle and has remote climate, but that only lasts 30 minutes until it needs to be reactivated.
I believe it was in an Out of Spec video about the IX3 software
