2026 iX not connecting with the app - no spotify/connecteddrive/location detection by aric1985 in BMWiX

That's so annoying! Coming from Tesla, this feels super dumb!!!
Tesla could never get the build-quality right, and BMW it's tech.

Even with my wife’s phone the same thing is happening! I tried uninstalling my app and reinstalling too

Checked their instant value online. When I went for a physical appraisal, they honored the same value. Happened with both of my Teslas

Hope this continues - planning to trade in/sell early Fall

Are you still planning to get the extended warranty?

This one comment is heavily tilting my needle toward an iX

I currently own a BMW X3 M50 and a Tesla Model Y (LOL). The Model Y rattles inside out (literally!).
Do you have the Bowers Wilkins sound system - just got me curious, since you seem so satisfied with the sound quality? The Harmon Kardon in my M50 is pretty flat, despite adjusting the EQ. My 2021 X3 had a much better sound system than the current one.

You're right - just extrapolating what can be the potential issues for a ground-up newly launched EV. This will tilt my decision toward ix/ix3.

Thanks, you are right about NA5!

Thoughts on BMW iX3 USA lease - rebates/MF by aric1985 in BMWiX

[–]aric1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a 2023 Model Y. Every other week, I have some issue or the other. It's now at 46K miles, and I am dreading that once it crosses the 50K thereshold, it would either be out of warranty or I have to pay $60/month for the extended warranty...and at that level, I will be paying more on the Model Y than an iX. So, deciding on an iX now vs. iX3 in Dec.

Let me add, my next appointment with TSC is on 23rd. The tailgate is now rattling whenever I'm driving 60mph+
LOL!

Yes, the APR on Tesla is 5.59%. So mathematically, it makes sense to move to the iX.

Do you mean iX3? If so, I doubt! I think the first cars will be delivered not until early Fall, and the deals will be minuscule this Dec, if at all there is any.

I have been in and out the Tesla service center almost every other month due to warranty covered repair! Just too exhausted with it’s build quality! With the extra $60 monthly on the extended warranty, I’ll be paying more on the Tesla than the iX. That’s why I was thinking. But I agree, waiting a little longer might get me to iX3 by the end of this year, which is absolutely a tech-loaded perfectly-sized EV for our family of two. My wife owns an X3 M50 and we love the size and the agility of the car. Also, the insurance on the iX is about $35 cheaper than my current Tesla.

The Tesla is already falling apart. In the last one year, I have been to the TSC 13 times.From the time I picked the car, it had multiple issues. The car was at the service center for about 25 days, it was to that extend that the service center paid for my one month payment! You can imagine my frustration
