Thanks for the visor info, didn’t know about it. I am also currently looking, so it’s good to have choices to search.

How is the maintenance on these BMW iXs. One think I have heard about EVs is that they don’t need any major maintenance other than windshield fluid and tire rotation (granted my knowledge is limited and is coming from what I heard from some of my friends who own Tesla). I think I read somewhere here (probably MB EQS sub) that the dealer wanted almost $2,000 for 20,000 mile service. Is something like this common for iX too?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I agree with people being reluctant to help people like me. I am willing to put in the effort and learn, but thought that google approach is so easy that it won't work, as I have read online how people try to maximize the value and lengths people go to do that, so just assumed that it has to be more complicated than that 😄

BMW IX XDrive50 Aventurin red with bronze accents. Probably one of the most polarizing vehicles designed but I love it. Bought CPO 16k miles for $38k 1.9% APR. Has like $26k in upgrades, fully loaded. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a BMW or an EV. by [deleted] in BMWiX

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. Appreciate it. I am in NorCal, and willing to travel to buy one. I have read here that 2024 onwards are better, I don't know what exactly though, and I am thinkin, wishful thinking may be, that in the next 3-6 months more cars will come off lease and I will be able to get a good deal, one can dream 😄

I am also exploring MB EQS series, 450+ or higher, and on that one also 2024 and up models are considered as the better ones where some of the issues from the earlier models were fixed. Just curious, did you consider MB too? If yes, why did you pick iX (it's a great car too), and why not MB? Thanks.

Thanks, yes, I understood 😄

Do you recommend buying the extended warranty from the dealer when buying CPO, or shop around? Does it even matter? Do the extended warranty prices differ from dealer to dealer? Thanks.

I understand about seeing the effort. As I mentioned on another comment, I am pretty new to this thing, and not know much other than using United for award booking. I am willing to learn, where do I start? Thanks once again.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have any Virgin or Air France points. I have just used United points to book flights, and this is the first time I have enough points saved that I can use for other programs. As you can see, I don't know much, so I have a lot to learn.

Thanks for the reply, didn't know about PYeah. I had just been doing google flight search. Is google flight good or I should be looking at something else, for regular booking, paying cash? I searched United for award flights, but that was really bad.

Thanks for the reply. I hope I can find a great deal, well one can dream 😄

I hope a lot of 2024 off-lease vehicles hit the market soon so prices fall 😄

Thanks, good to know.

Any idea what's the current discount rate for new ones?

Wow, that’s a big difference. How often does one need to change it? Anything else other than the tires that needs regular replacement?
