I am leasing a new iX and was told today that the stop sale will not be lifted until March. Whether that means early March or later, I am not sure. If anyone hears any other updates, please post here. I am delivering my car to Carmax on Monday so I will be without a car until I get the iX. Unfortunately, our dealership said loaners are only provided for cars in service, and this would not qualify for that.

New stop sale?
Just got an email from SA saying that the iX I was picking up on Tuesday has a new stop sale for an airbag recall? This wasn't there when it arrived earlier in week and isn't showing up on the BMW VIN, so wondering if there is new action on the horizon. Anyone else have info on this?

That's awesome news. I am in New Jersey so hopefully right behind you.
Is this for the iX50 and are you on the east coast? my dealership is saying there is no fix for the iX50 as of yet on the east coast?I just got word today that my iX has had the airbag recall performed at the dealership. Delivery tomorrow! The parts are moving...
My dealer says there is no solution yet for the iX 50, only the M models. Is anyone seeing otherwise?
do you mind sharing what your payments look like and what downpayment? also it is all quite from my dealer...I am in NJ.Yes, I got around 10% off on leasing deal. So I took lease for 3 years.
Hi all - any insight on the order the iX50s are getting repaired? Mine has been at the dealer (I contracted for it after the stop sale by a few days, which I was told would be lifted in March). Production date is 9/22. I am in NJ. Thanks!
I agree. There has been such a lack of communication on this since it was issued. A simple - we are looking for a fix, or we hav a fix but are obtaining parts, or we have parts, and this is how they will be getting repaired - would have been sufficient. It sucks that we have to go searching blogs to get some information rather than being kept informed by BMW.
I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice. haha
First, BMW is likely putting a lot of pressure on the manufacturer of the airbags to provide the replacement airbags or have contracted with another supplier for them. I presume the initial manufacturer is in breach of their agreement and as such, can be held liable for all costs resulting from the defective airbags, including potentially, BMW's lost profits. With that said, I agree with the statement that they are likely limited by how many airbags they are receiving under either scenario. I just wish they would communicate with us better. As for the second point about allowing us to take ownership of cars even with the open recall, it is likely as a result of the regulation cited above, as well as potential liability. It is one thing to notify drivers of the recall and then have them come in at their convenience to fix it (which then puts the responsibility on the driver to follow up) versus handing new drivers a car it knows to be defective.

all the new 2023s coming in do not have the recall issue and I am finding that a lot of the ones on the lot do not have it either. Mine, sadly still has it. It is so frustrating to keep waiting. I have a really good deal on it since it was a demo (has 300 miles on it) and since it is a lease I do not care about the mileage. If it werent for that, I would have moved on.
no updates for me. Car was built in September 2022....I am really getting frustrated but hoping I hear soon. I am on east coast.
haha I am in NJ but with how things are, driving to Georgia seems like an option! hahaI am in GA and cancelled my order. I do have another ix on a ship right now. If you are in GA, my cancelled order is available
Seriously. The whole thing has operated under some weird cloak of mystery. No communication or details about the process or timeline or anything. My dealer said they talked to BMW and they prioritized my car, but that was last week. It makes no sense. I can't believe this is what customers have to deal with when we are paying 100k+ for the cars.
I heard from my dealer that my car has been cleared to receive the fix and when I check on the recall, it still shows a recall but it says "Remedy Available", it used to say "Remedy not available." So finally some movement. I hope to have it this week!
Finally here. Managed to get some floor mats and the rear cargo mat thrown in for all the extra waiting. Love it so far. View attachment 3802

So for anyone that is still waiting, your dealer can order the part. What I do not understand is why mine waited so long to do so but they got back to me yesterday and said they ordered the part and it may come in as early as today.
If you have not heard from your sales agent, reach out and ask them to order the part. Apparently they can.

I got this rebate as well. Leasing for three years.The $7,500 is available via a lease due to the lease loophole. BMW is passing it to lessees. However, a lot of dealers won’t give it to you unless you know to push them on it.
