NS BMW car The iX era has officially begun, configuration of electric crossover will work with price. Bidding starts at $83,200 before the $995 destination fee, for a total of $84,195 before options. That money buys a four-wheel drive, dual-motor family car, with 516 horsepower and 564 pound-feet of torque, that can accelerate to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and run for an estimated time. 300 miles on a single charge. That’s also just $400 more than the MSRP for the gas-powered car BMW X5 M50i, has slightly more horsepower and is a little faster.
The IX starts with standard Shadowline trim and sits on 20-inch wheels. The $2,800 Sports Package adds dark transparent taillights and upgrades to 21-inch wheels, but when the wheel options are $950 or $1,900 a turn, the Sport seems like a lot of money for a ride. smoke color taillight lens number. Of course, skipping the Sport version leaves us without options like two Individual paint colors colour Storm Bay Metallic and Aventurin Red Metallic, each adding $1,950 to the price. Those paint jobs also require a set of 22-inch wheels for an extra $950 instead of the usual $1,900. However, getting the premium paint and needing to buy bigger wheels actually means paying $1,850 for the crisp taillights after a $950 discount on the wheels. Available in six free colors, we pick Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic and 22-inch Aero Bi-Color wheels for the full price of $1,900.
Inside, BMW offers three standard Sensatec fabrics for free, a $500 Stonegrey Microfiber/Wool Blend fabric option and two options of perforated Amido or Castanea Chestnut leather for $2,450. We chose Amido.
Then it’s all about the level of convenience and safety that buyers desire. There’s a $2,300 Convenience Plan, a $4,000 Premium Plan, a $1,600 Dynamic Processing Plan, and a $1,150 Luxury Plan. A warning in the configurator says Dynamic Processing Packs will be automatically added to any iX built between now and next February, so there you go. We specified the $1,700 Active Driving Assistant Pro version, which requires the Add-on or Premium Package – we bought the Premium – front ventilated seats for $500, Radiant Heating Pack with $950 and $1,000 adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight, with the possibility that we might one day be able to unlock it thanks to the infrastructure bill being signed into law. There’s also a $3,400 Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system with 30 speakers, 2 subwoofer, and four bass transducers in the front row to replace the high-end Harman Kardon system if you really don’t want to hear BMW’s EV Natural Sounds symphonies.
Tally fee after destination: $98,120.
While the configurator is up and running, the first retail units won’t reach the US until next year, and that’s assuming global suppliers and supply chains don’t suffer another wave. more terror during the holidays.
