Hi,

First time posting!

We have just placed an order for an iX 40 in the UK.
The dealer couldn’t give me any information about expected servicing requirements or costs.
Also can’t find any details on an owners manual I found posted online.

Do any of you who have received your cars know what servicing you are expecting?

I am interested as one of the other cars we considered was a Tesla and that was advertised to have no minimum servicing requirement.

Wonder if BMW are also delivering one of the biggest positives of EV drivetrains to its customers?

Thanks

Hi
In my car its a 2 year service interval without milage restrictions.
it consists of brake fluid change and a vehicle control.
in Sweden the cost is about 4000 sek about £ 320.

Hello,

I have one preordered in US. Dealer told me that Service interval was anticipated to be once a year. He wasn’t sure what maintenance would entail.

Welcome to the forum.
Annual alignments should be added or whenever you switch over from summer/all season to winter tires.

Hi ecobimmer,
Sorry to say but i don't get what “annual alignments” is?

I have a Tesla as well. The first service was in two years. They did not replace the brake fluid but tested it to see if still ok. They also cleaned the brakes, why is this important, these cars use the engine as brakes so you rarely use them.
Interestingly enough the default behavior of the iX is not to use the engine to come to a full stop, you need to double click the Drive button. Which to be honest is a bit silly. But anyways, if you use the D and not the B I suspect you will indeed need to replace brake pads etc.
The only other service item after two years was the interior air filter.

Welcome to the forum guys! Congrats on your orders

@Vidyutyaan Aside from brakes, wheels, washer fluid and whenever there's an OTA update there's not much else when it comes to servicing.

@MechaDog Which iX model are you looking to get?

[/QUOTE]

iX 50. I think it is the only model available for preorder right now in US. It is the one I would choose anyway. Pretty excited about it (although it is still months away). Recently cancelled Cybertruck and Hummer EV preorders, the iX fits what I am looking for much more.

Looks like 2 years unlimited milage like the i3

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new car. Did they give you any concrete information about this yet?

In Australia there is an annual/15k km vehicle inspection and brake fluid change every 2 years.

 

[hans.olbrecht]

On my iX40 it looks that there will be a vehicle check after 2 years and change of break fluid after 2 years.

Neither Teslas nor the iX has an "engine".

 

[NomoTesla]

BMW is supposed to include 3 years of service for US models free of charge.

Double post

“Engine” in this day and age refers to any device that converts energy in one form to motion.

Motor and engine are now used interchangeably and so in fact Tesla and iX do indeed have an “engine”.

Combustion engine however would be different.

Do you know of any good Electrical Engineers near Berwick- upon- Tweed?
