The new BMW iX3 has set the worlds first 500 mile range EV

BMW's new iX3 crossover's headline-grabbing claim to fame is that it's the first electric car in the world to achieve up to 500 miles on one charge, marking a 'new era' for the German car giant. But having just driven the iX3 for the first time on UK roads, I can tell you there's an even greater achievement to highlight: this smart family five-seater sports utility EV really does drive, feel and perform like a proper BMW.
