In the first quarter of 2022, the BMW iX xDrive50 will land on U.S. shores as the sole variant of the automaker’s electric ‘Sports Activity Vehicle’ (SAV) series – for now, at least.
Newly-announced details confirm that U.S.-spec models come outfitted with a front electric motor producing 268 hp and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque and a rear electric motor with 335 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. These motors combine to pump out 516 hp and 564 lb-ft (764 Nm) of torque and get their power from a 106.3 kWh battery pack.
BMW quotes a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 4.6 seconds and a 124 mph (200 km/h) top speed. The iX xDrive50 has an EPA-estimated range of 300 miles (482 km).

The Bowers & Wilkins PI7 join an absolute glut of true wireless earphones from audiophile brands, with Cambridge Audio, KEF, Grado and Devialet are among those to join the ranks of Bang & Olufsen attempting to take a slice of Apple’s AirPodsPro pie.
Why? The USD$25 billion headphone market is projected to rise to USD$120 billion by 2027 with true wireless and active noise-cancelling the most sought after features. A no brainer, then, for Bowers & Wilkins to join the party, but the PI7 are no ordinary ANC buds with no ordinary price tag.
Each one gets dual-drivers and two individual amplifiers, but it’s the charging case that also opens up a new world of listening. Physically connect it to an in-flight entertainment system, games console or computer and it’ll act as a bridge, retransmitting lashings of lovely aptX Low Latency audio through the buds and into your ears.
