@ExE-Tron owner They can't estimate when delivery can be? That's different from my experience. I ordered an iX40 mid August 2022 and the reason I went for it was because the sales guy assured me that it would be about a 2 month wait and he was fairly confident and didn't anticipate any delays. So many other EVs had 1 year or more lead times.Recently placed an order for an IX 40 on the 23/12 last year and got told today by the dealership they expect it could take another month for build slot and then they aren't sure when delivery would be. Has anyone else ordered one recently and got a rough timeline for delivery. I'm due to replace my current car in October so if it's going to be longer than that I'll have to look at my options
Talk to another dealer? There are a lot of second hand ones available too?Thanks for the info, I wonder if something has changed with the factorys? I am looking forward to getting an IX my other alternatives were a new E-tron, Model Y but I'm not a fan of Tesla or an EQA/EQC. None of them really have the same appeal as the IX. I'm hoping that I'll hear something a bit earlier than a month so will update when I hear more
there aren’t really that many spec permutations. The spec does severely impact second hand price though from what I’ve seen. Quite a lot available now so maybe some negotiating space. BMWs own fleet up for sale as hitting a year or so for them.I might do that. I had a look at some of the second hand ones as an option but decided just to order one that I could spec myself. I've also asked if any of my spec are the cause for delays although I don't think they should be but if they are I'd rethink taking a second hand one that's close to what I want
surely you want to get MY24 with new idrive etc? You are literally getting the last of the old.I just placed an order for an M60 and it filled a Feb 23 build slot with delivery expected March/April.
?

This is very true - but I'm getting a fully loaded iX M60 with B&W & +100HP for much less than a IX50 Msport Ed of MY23 spec.surely you want to get MY24 with new idrive etc? You are literally getting the last of the old.
Regarding the move to new Android I-drive v8.5/9, information is sparse at best.surely you want to get MY24 with new idrive etc? You are literally getting the last of the old.
Haven’t got time to dig it up right now but there is some post citing a parts guide which has the current head unit not being a part after March 23 and the newer version being fitted. This won’t be android auto but 8.5 so new climate control screen and apparently better nav display. Tbh it’s all speculation and your good price is probably reflective of the MY transition. I’m planning to pick mine up tomorrow of test drive is ok and it’s one of the earliest cars off the line!Regarding the move to new Android I-drive v8.5/9, information is sparse at best.
I’ve searched and there’s no mention of any I-drive update on IX MY24 - not even 8.5 which may have the correct hardware which is still?????
The roll out across the BMW model range is very slow but functionality at first will be no more than that of v8 but will diversify as time goes on as the Android version will have the new updates whereas as v8 will be put into “maintenance” mode.
Even the IX price here seems mega steep here although i don’t think some countries have big sales tax on cars? E.g. our spec’d up IXs are costing 150k usd and people earn less here!Lucky you!
Hope your buy-off goes well and you can start to enjoy the thrill of EV torque heading into Spring.
I’d be interested to know the “BMW Charge”p/kWh at the 250kW IONITY charge points and how easy it was to register?
I keep reading that it’s 29p/kWh at best and it’s discounted for 1 year unlike in the US where they have unlimited Charges for 2 years FOC and in Australia they get 5 years of 30m charge sessions FOC.
Yet another area we get ripped off on!
