BMW Blog is predicting that the top level BMW iX will cost more than $100,000. They came to that conclusion based on the pricing of the Tesla Model X and the BMW X5.

Top BMW iNEXT / iX model will likely cost over $100,000

The upcoming iNEXT / iX is the pillar of the electric future at BMW. Therefore, it will come with a premium price at over $100,000

So all this new technology, along with others which will be announced in the future, will likely come with a premium price. If we take a quick look at the electric SUV segment, we will come across the Tesla Model X Long Range Plus which starts at $75,000, followed by the Performance variant at $95,000. At the same time, the top BMW X5 model – M50i – starts at $82,000 and has similar proportions as the iX, sans all the latest tech and electric drivetrain. Therefore, it is not far fetched to believe that the most expensive BMW iX model could easily jump over the $100,000 mark.

Naturally, to stay competitive, the entry-level iX will be priced to directly compete with Tesla and other new electric SUVs.

As I am not native in English what does this mean: "debut as a concept in 2019 and next year, it’s finally ready for its market introduction. But in the mean time, BMW will host a digital event next month to unveil their most advanced car to date."
Next year market introduction = will be available to buy and next month unveil = the details of the car is presented online (specs, trim levels etc,) ?

This is severe - how much would a repair with the mechanic cost with a base price like that?
