The 2026 BMW iX M70 is here, replacing the iX M60 with 650 hp, 811 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 time of 3.45 seconds. But is this just a numbers game, or has BMW actually made the iX better?

In this full test drive and review, I take the new iX M70 through the mountain roads and highways of Barcelona to see if BMW’s changes—improved suspension, increased range, and much-needed M Sport seats—make this the best iX yet.

Highlights:
• Performance: Faster throttle response and a sportier drive
• Comfort & Suspension: Softer in Comfort, sharper in Sport
• Efficiency Upgrades: More range thanks to new inverters, tires & aero
• Interior Upgrades: Finally! Better seats with real support
• Tech & Features: Updated heat pump for faster battery pre-conditioning

I also answer YOUR questions! Is the brake pedal arm redesigned? Is the panoramic roof more transparent? Can you finally disable DSC?

Would you buy the iX M70, or is the iX xDrive60 the better deal? Let me know in the comments!

The 2026 BMW iX xDrive45 is now the most affordable iX and the best value in BMW’s electric SUV lineup. With 402 hp, a larger 100.1 kWh battery, and up to 312 miles of range, it delivers more power and efficiency at a lower price—starting at $76,325. But does it sacrifice too much compared to the iX 60 and M70?

Join me as I test drive the iX 45 to see how it handles, how far it really goes on a charge, and if it’s the best BMW EV to buy right now!

Do you really need an SUV? SUVs are the cars of the moment. The combination of decent passenger and luggage space, plus an elevated view, is hard to beat....But maybe a minivan is an even better family solution? Let's take it on the road for the ultimate test to see if the VW T7 Transporter can defeat the Hyundai Santa FE.

Waze has released version 5.4.0, introducing the ability to display turn-by-turn navigation directly in the vehicle’s digital instrument cluster through Apple CarPlay. This enhancement allows drivers to view navigation instructions within their line of sight, reducing the need to glance at the central infotainment screen.

Compatible vehicles include those with BMW’s iDrive 8 and newer systems, Ford’s SYNC 4, and the latest Polestar models. Notably, this feature does not extend to BMW’s Head-Up Display (HUD) at this time. Android Auto users will need to wait, as Waze has not yet announced support for this functionality on Google’s platform.

In this video, we demo the new Waze 5.4 features using BMW’s iDrive 8.5 system, showing exactly how Waze appears on the instrument display and how it enhances the driving experience.
