2023 BMW iX1 UK review: is the new X1 BETTER as a £52,000 EV?

Video Description

BMW UK says 66% of people who buy the new X1 will buy the iX1 – the fully electric version. Which sort of makes my previous review of the petrol X1 redundant. Oh well. The iX1 is, for now, BMW's entry-level electric car, albeit one that costs £52,000.
