UK IX M60 order

CaptainRat said:

Hi Paul,

There is a queue for orders of the M60. Hopefully you have an order number from BMW? If so then I think all is good although I understand BMW have not got any more allocated production at the factory for this model hence why they have taken it off sale on the website. People with orders in the queue will then be allocated build slots as and when they are released.

I hope that helps.

Hi Again,

I have just spoken to the dealer that I do a lot of work for and also have an order with for an iX M60, which has just been manufactured and is sitting at the factory.

They think it is very unlikely you will get an iX M60. Initially most UK dealers were allocated 1 or 2 units depending on their yearly sales, I know some dealers did not get an allocation at all.

A waiting list was then created and initially there were around 80-90 people on it. BMW released another 25 cars so people at the top of this waiting list were contacted for deposit and then had their orders confirmed once they paid this deposit.

The dealership I have just spoken to think that BMW will not be making any more M60's after they have completed all current orders. So it in fact becomes a very limited special run.

Sorry about this but I hope it explains more - pretty bad if the dealer you have been in contact with has not explained!

I hope that helps

My M60 is expected to arrive in early March (ordered mid-September). I was just wondering if any recent deliveries of M60s had any unexpected missing/deleted options?

In December when I finalised the order the interior camera was set to be deleted (we unticked the deletion for whatever good that will do), and I think it had the usual deletion of passenger lumbar support.

I checked my VIN earlier too. It shows an M60 built and being shipped soon, but with the wrong colour, wrong wheels, wrong interior and wrong options. I'm hoping the wrong car has been put against my order and my car is on someone elses order (or the wrong info was in the VIN system), as otherwise I'll be back to square one with a fresh order...

On your new build, do you have the new “Battery Precondition for charging” button that’s been muted??

I see that the M60 price has gone up in the UK again - it was £116k at the end of last year, £119k as of the start of Jan, and is now showing as nearly £123k. Some of the options have had a ~10% price bump too.

I think the iX50 may have gone up as well as a fully spec'd one is now £123k.

Sorry I have no idea and I’m unfamiliar with iD8.
It was stated to be on March onwards vehicles so we may miss out if it’s hardware dependant - there’s a lot of rumour but not so much fact about the 2024 IX iDrive build hardware and software.
all the configurations I’ve seen are still showing ID8 for MY2024 - no 8.5 or 9?

this article is interesting but???
