Just got back from Australia where I rented an iX3 for a week. It was just $33AUD/day (plus fees) compared to ~$55/day for a Kia hatchback so easy call. Really pleasant car to drive around though the fake motor noise was annoying. I told the wife that I'd consider buying one if it didn't come out to $100k (it's priced slightly less than X3 M40i in Australia). BMW's done a really nice job converting their gas platform into EVs - it's not perfect but for daily driving it works great. Easy to get 400km of range out of it and charging was never a problem.
