Yes, I got my car, everything updated. I might get a warning for the update campaign because there was a code needed and they had not got it from BMW yet. He said it should not be a problem. So now we are setting off to our cabin. It's only 112 km

Hope you get your soon.

Congratulations! My dealer is refusing to deliver mine because of the code, even though BMW hasn't supplied it yet - your dealer is obviously more flexible

Enjoy the drive - pictures!

Hi,

Today I was due to pick up my IX50 and literally just before the keys were handed over, the sale was stopped due to an alert raised yesterday about an airbag fault. My dealer is checking. Has anyone else had this?

I'm really sorry to hear that, Andrew - hopefully they get it fixed quickly and you get out on the road.

@alistair I got mine today as well. The dealer said its also affecting the new 2 series tourer.

Mine was due this week but it hasn't made it over the water to the UK yet. But the dealer was waffling on about some software update they will need to do before I can collect it and how they have to wait 24 hours for the software update to be verified. He has buggered off on holiday now anyway so I won't be getting it any time soon even if it did arrive ! Getting annoyed now.

How is it in the snow ? Do you have winter tyres ?

Yes it is winter tyres. No problem so far, but it is not much snow.

Ahhh. I was due to pick up my ix 40 on the 8th and it got stopped at the last moment. I'm still waiting for an update.

It's official.

BMW iX Recalled Over Faulty Airbag Software

BMW is recalling 1,029 iX SUVs in the US because of a defective airbag control unit that might not have been programmed by the supplier.

Just a software update, nothing more.

So here is my story. I took delivery halfway march of xdrive40. Got called in april that there is an urgent software update required because it affects safety and airbag security. I had to bring the car in for a day for the update. That was today. Got a call that "the software update crashed" and now the car can't drive anymore. They have no clue how long it will take them to fix this. Perhaps tomorrow. Perhaps weeks. Can't believe this is 2022 and software updates at BMW are not done over the air and get stuck. Disappointing for a car in this price range. If you get an update proposal, ask your dealer if they've already executed similar updates successfully for the same model and issue. If not, wait and postpone!

Mini got 2 updates (incl Airbag-problem) last week. No problem.

ix is new. Pretty sure if an update on the mini fails, it can still drive? This one is all software.

Just realized you probably meant 'mine'

Has anyone received an update on this? My IX was built on March 29th and has been stuck at the port waiting for the update for over a month. BMW won't release it to ship until the update has been completed
