Besides the listed differences in range does the various size of wheels (20" vs 21" vs 22") change the ride characteristics much? My general understanding is larger wheels make for a less comfortable ride. Does that hold true for the iX? The basic Shadowline package is the only way to get 20" wheels with 324 miles of range. Going to the BMW i Signature Blue or Sport packages changes the wheels to 21" (305 miles range) or 22" (315 miles of range). Given that I live in Michigan I think I would prefer All-Season tires. I'm unsure of how easy it will be to find a variety of alternate tires since the ones on the iX have special foam inserts to help with road noise. I have no idea how common that is in tires. I am very interested in the iX. This will be my first BMW and first electric vehicle. I'm just trying to understand if the sizes will change the ride comfort much and if the max range between the three sizes really matters that much. If I get the Sport package will I be fine with the 21"? Is it worth going to the 22" wheels for the slightly better range estimate even though they are available with performance tires only? Thank you for reading this and I appreciate how helpful everyone is on this forum.
What wheel option did you choose, or would you choose, for your iX and why?
