I've got an iX40 ordered with 22 inch wheels and it's going to be a 3 year lease. Can anyone, particularly in the UK tell me how many services I would need over 3 years/45k miles? Also, how long would the 22inch tyres last?

I have signed a lease with maintenance added, but just reflecting upon whether that's actually worth it? Would the tyres last 20-30k miles or do they wear out in 10k miles? If the tyres on the iX wear out relatively quickly, then maybe the maintenance thing is a good deal. I have read that the brake pads would last 6 years on the iX too.

Many thanks!

1 service at 2 years £300 not mileage dependant on EV’s and 2 sets of rears 1 set of fronts around £2000. So if maintenance over £60/ month a close call. Some UK owners have driven over 18k miles and haven’t seen posts on tyre replacement costs etc. I’m on a 4 year service plan £540 paid on instalments and you can cancel any time and only pay for services used. Includes 2 services, MOT and map updates after 3 years

@ICS_UK Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I have signed up to £109 a month for maintenance, so maybe it's worth cancelling, given what you have shared.

Ouch!

FYI I pay £33 monthly for a full maintenance package on a similar mileage profile to yours. Xdrive 50 with 22inch wheels.

The BMW/Alphabet maintenance packages are usually uncompetitive if that is what you have been sold?

@swally_style Yes, it's with alphabet. I have asked the dealer to remove maintenance from the contract.

Hi,
I have a quote for £66+VAT p/m for my ix via Alphabet. Can you please let me know what is the best alternative? Is it through the BMW service plan? Does it cover the same service?

Thanks

Try asking Autoserve UK for a maintenance quote. Includes servicing and tyres. FYI I'm using a company lease vehicle.

I have an iX40. Dealer agreed to bundle in the maint package and the tyre and wheel insurance as part of the deal.

I was warned the tyres are very expensive because of the load they carry and the specialist fitting required.

Yes, I have been told the same. The Service maintenance is more expensive but also covers tyres and brakes.
