The EQS with the Infinity Dash is amazing and that would (may yet) be my choice also.

New Recall?

Looks to me like a technician report on the car that shows 21% State of Charge on the “hybrid” battery, which in this case is the main high voltage battery. The best SOC for Lithium Ion batteries being stored is about 20% to 50%. But being outside that range is not necessarily a bad thing. The report also appears to show that the 12V auxiliary battery is down to 9V, likely means that the low voltage battery will need a charge or jump start in order to boot the electronics.
UPDATE from BMW UK ...
This vehicle is on a Delivery STOP and will require a replacement electric drive unit (HEAT module) before delivery, the campaign that will be replacing this STOP is in preparation and will be published shortly, we are finalising the preparations, parts and tooling requirements. It is expected that parts will begin to arrive in the next few weeks and ideally the rework would be completed by your Retailer soon afterwards. We will update via the Retailer HUB bulletin when further information is available.
ohhhhh dear!

Different recall, but a new one:

BMW is recalling 14,000 EVs to update the battery software

So anyone call their dealer about the above recall?
I am going on a 2 day trip so I am not going to brave a software update beforehand, but was planning to schedule it for my return..

So, because this Delivery Stop has not been grounded and could take months to resolve, I’ve now chopped the IX50 order and bagged a stonking Lease Deal on an IX M60 in Storm Bay with all the other mega options EXCEPT the Clear and Bold - even I can’t handle that glitz.
So happy!
Now looking to get confirmation of a Feb 23 Build Slot for March Delivery.
Good luck to all those caught up in this delivery stop mess and hopefully things will improve.
A question to everyone out there - has anyone actually had their IX or I4 Front EDU changed yet?
UK dealers cannot change the drives without special tooling and of course replacement EDU’s ??

If the EDU is going to take a while to replace, why couldn't BMW just give another car coming off the line that has the same specs and no outstanding repair issues. Then when the EDU is replaced on the car being held, they can slot that in or give to a dealer which will surely find a buyer rather quickly.

Finally, a little progress. My car is at the VDC in Baltimore, I see the airbag was replaced. I'm still waiting on the electric drive unit fix. Fingers crossed this will be replaced soon. The silver lining in all of this is I will have avoided the coldest temperatures to start my EV ownership

I need some seat thing programmed, and the Electric Drive Unit

Did you ever get an estimated time or any updates from the dealer before they repaired it? I don't even know if they put me on the "list" to get repaired. Just seeing how this works since I haven't heard back at all. I did hear on another forum that a canadian user heard from BMW Canada that they don't expect to repair this before Mid April.....

Just to repeat, Nov production IX 50 that had the EDU Electric Drive Unit, Air Bag, and Seat Software Program Issue.
The website status isn't current, but BMW Genius just said the EDU and Airbag have been fixed. It is being prepped for shipping.

This process has had so few updates that I feel gas lit.
