BMW iX3 SUV review - is it actually a good EV?

Welcome to Jonny's detailed review of the new 2021 BMW iX3 EV SUV. It is based on the new X3, but is it a good EV? Is this Chinese made 280-mile range electric family crossover better than Audi's Q4 E-Tron, Jaguar's iPace, the Mercedes EQC, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Nissan Ariya or the Mustang Mach-e?

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
