Hi folks,

I'm in Brisbane and have just placed an order for an iX40 sport.

Heard from the dealer that its slated for an April build .... I expect with everything going on in Europe that its likely to be pushed back, but exciting nonetheless!

cheers

Hi @Browchay and welcome to the forum! Congrats on placing your iX 40 order! What color combo did you end up picking?

Cheers. I've got Phytonic Blue and Amido. Not that I had a lot of choice there ... My handler get's to make all the colour choices in our house

I heard that any orders after mid Jan, would be delivered at least early 2023!!
unless they had one in pipeline or someone else canceled their order?

I was hoping for delivery in Jan 2023 actually. My current lease runs out then so hopefully that is the case

I order my IX50 in Nov-21 in Melbourne and dealer mentioned that the build slot will be confirmed in Jun-22 with delivery to be expected Sep/Oct-22 onwards. Not sure if this is the case for everyone who ordered in Australia.

That seems to be realistic. I m in SA, the sales person advised me that just one person is in front of me ( early Jan ) in SA for IX 50 who ordered in June( pre-ordered ). I m happy to get the build date by mid year, given the situation is very uncertain!!

I was told that the iX50 would definitely take longer to fulfill than the iX40.

Sounds like production is slowly starting again .. BMW resume production

it’s true, but remember that we have more demand for IX40 as well Here.
as in US they dont supply any IX 40 ( at least for now ), majority of IX 50s will be directed there to meet the demand. So we get much less supply!!

Welcome to the forum @rushinpatel2003! What sold you on the iX 50 over the 40?

That would be great timing if that's the case. What are you currently driving?

Landrover Discovery. Will be glad to see the back of it though. Was in the shop for almost 2 months waiting for a new turbo charger to be freighted (by ship) to Oz.

Thank you @XDrive. Net battery capacity of 106.3KWh is what got me
