Why is the BMW iX3's electric motor positioned at the rear of the vehicle?

I've noticed that unlike other electric cars, the BMW iX3 has its electric motor in the rear of the car. Can you explain the reasoning behind this design choice and how it affects the car's performance?

Having the electric motor in the rear of the BMW iX3 allows for a more balanced weight distribution, improving the car's handling and overall performance. Additionally, it also frees up space in the front of the car for a larger battery, increasing the car's range.
