Unbelievably fast and amazing sound system

This is my first electric car. Everything works as it says. The sound system is absolutely amazing. Range is very good. Small things that are odd. Front hood does not open for storage. Only can be opened by bmw. No home link on the mirror. Overall very happy with purchase. Can drive it very easily slowly around town. When you want acceleration it takes off with head snapping torque.

Being my first EV, I’m blown away by its efficiency, comfort, quietness, acceleration, and style. The polarizing exterior style grows on me, and interior just impressed me from my first test drive. When you are inside and enjoying this vehicles interior, it could look like a rolling 💩, and I don’t care, LOL. I’m seeing better than EPA mileage as most have, and charging has been a breeze. Nice plus is BMW’s 2 years of free public charging at Electrify America. Basically, free fuel if the EA works for you. Home charging is a breeze too. There is a plethora of tech, which I like simple better, but it can be a set up and forget it too. If you have a iPad, you’re right at home. The climate controls are amazing, and winter comfort is better than any car I’ve driven in 44 years. Love the heated steering wheel, door panels and console that surround you in addition to immediate climate comfort. Enjoy the “Climatization” on phone app that preconditions (pre-heat or cool) with a simple touch before departing. There have been a few minor glitches with apps, but no big deal. Afterall, it is a rolling computer. Update after 14 months of use. This iX50 has done great in the winter snow. The preheating or cooling of the car before entering from a phone app is fantastic. Heats or cools in 5 minutes. Economy is great, getting a surprising 360 miles in summer.with a 100% charge, which I do only when traveling. Winter temps cut that by about 20%, depending on temps. Trouble free, best car I’ve ever owned. Update 6/24: This has been the best car I’ve owned, and that’s in the dozens of new cars. I’m doing a bit more traveling in SE USA mountains and charging is an issue. I traded for a 2025 BMW X5 50e PHEV. It gives me great round town zero gas for 45+ miles, and great fuel economy of 35-45 mpg on road so far. Very similar to iX. Update 1/25: The iX was the best car I’d owned. However, being a full EV, I found charging in the wild to sometimes be a hit and miss. By this I was finding that only using fast chargers in the wild, I’d encounter non functioning chargers or waits for a charger sometimes. It was frustrating to pull up to a bank of 6 chargers in use and 4 of them being finished, yet no one there to open it up. So you’re stuck waiting. Home charging was a breeze and provided 300+ miles of range but I’d still get range anxiety after 200-250 miles not knowing if a good charger would be available, even using charge station location apps. So I took the EV value hit and ordered a 2025 BMW X5 50e PHEV. The PHEV better fits my lifestyle, as I drive it 80-90% of the time in all electric, and then have the wonderful in line 6 twin turbo to carry on when traveling. Bottom line, iX is wonderful if charging away from home works for you. In SE USA, charging is not ready for EV life.

Great car- lousy BMW corporate attitude

We love the car, but the communication system control card keeps failing due to overheating and BMW is not trying to fix it claiming it happens when the car gets too hot. Apparently the card is in the ceiling and the heat from the sunroof can cause the card to overheat and fail. Sadly BMW 's attitude is "there's nothing they can do about it" leaving owners with a possible failure of the emergency call system. They don't seem to be looking for a solution or plan a recall even tho they admit seeing it in lots of cars. Had I known this problem in advance I would not have bought the car. Going to file a Lemon Law lawsuit, but may have to ask for a refund rather than a new car since it will likely have the very same issue.....

Best New Car I've Ever Had

This car is a level up from all the other electrics on the market. I researched and tested all the SUVs available, and nothing came close to the iX. Yes, it's pricey, but I searched for a deal, and found one at a dealership where I got BMW's $9,900 lease credit, and $8,000 additional off from the dealer, so I felt that at $76,000 this car was a steal. I'm so impressed with the looks (yes, I even like the front), driving dynamics, interior comfort, tech, ride quality (even on 22" wheels), regenerative braking/energy recapture, and range. When I was looking for iXs I really wanted the Shadowline trim, ventilated leather seats, 20" wheels, and the premium package, what I got was Sensa Tec non-ventilated seats, Sport trim, 22" wheels, and the convenience package, and I couldn't be happier with the "less than" vehicle I ended up with. I've had a lot of cars (basically getting a new lease every few years), and this is the one that I wake up thinking I can not wait to get in it and drive somewhere. There are a couple very nit-picky items that I would like to be different. First, the rearview mirror (especially on the left/driver side is maybe too small. I can't seem to get a great view of the lane next to me no matter how much I fiddle with the adjustment. Secondly, and this would help immensely with the first, I wish there were turn signal cameras on the iX. It has cameras everywhere, so why not engage them when the turn signal is turned on to give the driver a very clear view of what's in the right or left lane before changing. My last car had this, and I do miss it. Other than those two pretty small items, there's nothing about the iX I haven't enjoyed, and I can't wait to drive it everyday. It is an absolutely phenomenal product by BMW.

Subjective Criticism based on 6 months ownership

The Pro's of my IX ownership: As far as the IX's said range, BMW has underestimated its capacity, which is a good thing, and typically BMW when it comes to power output and now EV range. My range average is based on probably the most adverse conditions living in sizzling hot Scottsdale Arizona. My IX 50 is my daily commuter which averages 52 miles per day of mixed city and 7 miles of highway. I certainly down-live in the flat parts of Arizona. Mostly undulating hills. Moreover, I have run the IX with the AC at its coolest 60F temperatures. The BMW app says my average consumption for the past 3 months is 3.5 mi/kWh, and I am 14% of the community average. With that said my total range from 100% to 10% remaining has consistently been 366 miles. I'm sure if I ventured down to 3% battery life I could achieve a 400-mile battery range. I'm very impressed! I always drive my IX 50 in the Eco/ efficient mode. The Cons of my IX ownerships are as follows: 1. Cheap interior cabin materials. Lots of hard plastics and piano black finish which scratch easily. For a $98,000 EV, I expected better. 2. The Sensatec seats feel cheap and lack the 21-way adjustability of the BMW X5 3. Yes, the look is polarizing, but the consumer learns to adapt to it. Not much of a wow factor. 4. Not a fan of I drive 8.5. having to touch a screen for AC or toggle to other menus is annoying. 5. The car is very heavy. Contrary to what Edmonds says about agility, I disagree. often it feels like I'm driving a U-haul when it comes to cornering. Overall, I cannot give this car 5 stars. Perhaps if I moved up to the IX M60 which is a $118,000 BMW EV the suspension and the interior quality would have been greatly improved. However, I wasn't prepared to spend an extra $20K for leather seats and airbag rear suspension.
