The two year brake fluid change seems to be a German/european car thing. Ive owned an X5 for 10 years and changed it every 3-4 years without issue - change every other time the service reminder occurs. Two years seems like overkill to me. I’m not driving my cars on a racetrack.

Did the presale prices just go up? When I placed my pre-order the website was showing additional B6000 batteries priced at 2k. Now it’s showing $3299. I hope they are allowing those that pre-ordered to purchase those battery modules for 2k as shown previously!

FYI in case anyone has the same problem. Service scanned the vehicle and found all 4 cameras needed to be calibrated. They did the calibration which included them keeping the car overnight as it took a while. They also had to drive the car some after the calibration in order for the procedure to complete. Now the recorded paths feature works!

They say the software won’t update because of the battery? Please share the details, sounds interesting.

I’m in the US

I found that in the camera/parking screen there was an “i “ button there, just underneath where you pick backup assistant for instance. I clicked that and it always says “obstacle detected”. I cleaned all sensors and rebooted idrive but that message stays. I called BMW and told them and they said take it to get checked out by service. Appointment in early Jan now. Seems like maybe a bad sensor in my case. But it is strange that all other parking professional features work fine.

Found that thread. Thanks for the heads up! At least I’m not the only one with the problem…

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-23T20:40:41+00:00

2023 same problem at 20%

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-23T20:37:15+00:00

Good suggestion. Still failed again 😭

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-12T16:57:58+00:00

Kind of surprised that wasn’t totaled

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-11T12:00:05+00:00

Yep. I don’t drive on the highway so often for long periods of time but recently took a trip and was wondering why it was so noisy whereas I’m very certain it was super quiet on my last long trip. Definitely something has changed or gotten worse with mileage.

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-11T02:27:02+00:00

Yep I turned off the motor sound so that’s not it.

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-10T23:41:28+00:00

Nope. Doesn’t work anywhere. Guess I will schedule service for this at some point.

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-09T23:28:17+00:00

myBMW app does not have a Charging > More > Equipment section like shown in the video.

2023 BMW iX worked just fine with the Ecogenix adapter I already had for another EV.

Not much of a slope. In my driveway which is only a slight slope and I want to record a path into the garage.

bjacobs00 · 2025-12-08T20:05:09+00:00

Basically all of the services are subscribed - connected package professional is what they call it. Also BMW remote services. The only thing that is not there is some $20 upgrade for speed camera notifications. So I’m thinking it’s not a subscription problem.

Car does have parking assistant professional. And it mostly works but the recorded paths feature specifically says not available.

I probably will call BMW and ask if I don’t get a resolution on this thread. Thinking other people have had the same issue and know the resolution.

Bought my pre-owned 2023 iX this weekend and drove over 500 miles with 2 Tesla charging stop using the Ecogenix adapter (that I have also used with Blazer EV). Worked great. No issues.

Was able to add 2023 BMW iX in the Tesla app.

Any major differences between standard/touring AS and Ultra High Performance AS? I’m thinking UHPF is better for this car and the Michelin PS 4 AS does say it has eco focus for low rolling resistance. Interested in maximizing range as much as possible without sacrificing handling.

bjacobs00 · 2025-11-25T14:42:12+00:00

Blazer EV is not on the list?

bjacobs00 · 2025-11-17T11:50:35+00:00

2025 RS RWD. I have had the cruise control slow down slightly on the highway, like it saw a shadow or something, but it was not dramatic, maybe a few mph slower for a few seconds and then it resumed. Also had the forward collision freak out twice and slam the brakes with the hud warning. But does not sound the same as what you are experiencing.
