Overall good car

I got to use a used car from a car reseller in Delhi. It is a very fast and smooth to drive with no hiccups. Pick-up is fantastic and is quick even on comfort mode. The cockpit is unlike any car I have ever seen. The car has tons of options for customization, Rear seat has poor legroom and overall comfort, while the front seats are comfy. The only con I faced was that the car is hard on tires if you like to drive fast sometimes.

Performance king

Its an amazing experience What a performance I love it When i drive the bmw iX well worthy performance i got Now i decided to buy a new iX in very few month and I ordered for my future business uses
