$96k AND NO MEMORY SEAT IN CONVENIENCE PACKAGE
Nobody seems to know this in any review or even at dealership when I bought my iX. Only way to get memory seat control on door is to order Premium Convenience Package. Regular Convenience package does not include it. Software may be available with driver and guest driver key but nobody seems to know how to make it work on my car so far. I have a loaner while dealer has my new iX so they can figure it out.

This is a great EV. I love it. Highly recommend!!
Overall very very satisfied with BMW iX. Looks great & drives great, even compared to my previous EV, Teslar model S. iX has better interior as well. But the auto drive is not as good. Also, S/W could be a bit more user friendly.

Impressed daily
This is our first BEV and I think we are hooked. The IX is quintessential BMW, the power sublime and the tech is first order. Warming the vehicle for one to two minutes before getting in on cold days makes it very comfy. So quiet I can actually hear the sound system. Great visibility, I love the suspension (not air) and I'm sure we haven't discovered all the features yet! I've had quite a few German cars - Audi, BMW and MB. This is definitely the future.

Subpar Luxury
Tested this car for a little over two weeks and it was a disappointment. This looks great on paper and in the pictures, but the shortcomings are obvious once you start to live with it. Having also lived with the X5 50e and the X7 40i, the iX pales in comparison to it's siblings on the same lot. In terms of driving experience the 3 are roughly the same, except for the EV acceleration of the iX which is a rocket for something with this kind of mass. The adaptive EV braking mode is useful but lacks consistency and is hard to predict which leads to a bit of jerkiness at times. The blended braking feels better and more natural in the X5 50e than the iX. Luxury is where the iX falls short. The suspension can't match the smoothness of the air suspension in the X5 or X7. Wind noise is also more prevalent possibly due to the frameless windows. Interior materials doesn't match the price tag with cheap feeling steering wheel controls and turn signals. While the center console has too much plastic. The airbag cover on the steering wheel is also plastic instead of leather. Being a parent of an infant, the split tailgate in the X5 and X7 are plenty useful as a diaper changing station which the iX lacks. The C-Pillar on the iX is also very forward in that it hampers loading and unloading kids into a rear facing car seat. The lack of shades in the iX is also not good for keeping a baby asleep on a hot sunny day. The iX is a great car in an EV only vacuum. But comparably equipped, the iX 50 costs roughly $15k more than the X5 50e and $7k more than the X7 40i. Besides the EV powertrain and experience, it's hard to find a compelling reason to get the iX over its stablemates.

Disappointed
I switched from owning two Tesla’s. Initially was very happy, but after 13 months of owning the vehicle I got a high voltage warning light. It was with the dealer for 6 weeks with no communication other than ‘we are waiting for Germany to instruct us what to do next because these cars are so new…’ Do not think they are ready for prime time unfortunately.
