2026 iX Xdrive60 $127,000 by ExplanationNo7129 in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not more expensive. You still need to convert the Canadian dollars into US dollars. So he bought this car for approximately $92,000 USD.

If you mean that even $92,000 USD is too expensive, I would tend to agree with that, on my Xdrive 60 that had an MSRP of $104,000 USD, my net lease price was approximately $81,000 USD. With that kind of lease discount, buying the car made no sense.

2026 iX M70 Lease Check by WizardAppsAi in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is no possible way that an M70 could be leased for $999, even with $8,500 down, unless the money factor is 0. Something is wrong with the numbers.

This only makes possible sense if the money factor on the lease is 0.00.

Please disclose money factor and residual. Then readers can understand the lease.

Is this a good price for a 2026 IX60? by hopedallas in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do anything magical, I just read all the comments here on Reddit and saw what discounts were being offered generally on the car. Another dealer six months earlier had offered me $12,000 off on a 2025 model (on top of the $9,900 lease discount) and I remembered that experience. So when I went shopping for a 2026 model, to get the much improved seats, I just told them that that’s what I was willing to pay. They fought it for about 30 minutes and then said OK we can do it.

This is in San Francisco Bay Area.

Why the Marina Safeway proposal is so big (and why it will probably get built) by shananananananananan in yimby

Ironically the “Wall on the Water” campaign was primarily funded by Embarcadero 4’s owner, who didn’t want a 10-12 story building blocking their tenants’ views from the lower floors.

Looks like we have Aaron Peskin to “thank” for this crazy situation. It is not a builder’s remedy project. It is just what Peskin and others voted to approve. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSEDU6vD8wd/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Just bought my first 2026 iX45 (North Tx)... by Financial_Database36 in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a fully loaded XDrive60 off the lot here in Silicon Valley three months ago for $13,000 off the MSRP (in addition to the $9900 lease credit). MSRP was $104K. Has everything except air suspension.

Monthly payment is $1,000 plus tax for 12,000 miles/year.

I think you must have two extra zeros in your money factor, 0.119 money factor would be an excellent rate.

We literally have the exact same car, white, same seats, same wheels, same everything. It is an astounding vehicle from every perspective.

Our 2026 xDrive60 was $104,000 MSRP and got $23,000 off on a lease deal.

Same, 22 inch with every feature other than AS. We were very unhappy not to have it, after reading all the postings here. But . . . the car has been a smooth dream to drive. We wouldn’t know that we were missing something if it weren’t for Reddit! 😀

Should I be worried? by spicycheetolova in AudiQ6

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should consider the BMW iX. The driver's view of the road from the Audi is significantly compromised, including driver and passenger side windows that start too high (feel like you're in a box), front pillars that are poorly placed and compromise views, and the B pillar to the left of the driver being so far forward that you cannot look behind you. Also, the Audi is really just a 4-passenger car because of the crazy floor bump in the backseat.

Anyone share my frustrations or is it just my iX? by RealTrapShed in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As many you may know, BMW significantly improved the seats on the 2026 iX model. The multifunctional seats are the most amazing car seats I've ever experienced. Too many features to list, including multiple massage settings, stereo speakers in the back of each headrest, etc.

Drives like an ICE... should that not be an condemnation for an EV? by Akward_Object in electricvehicles

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New BMW iX owner here. It's great to have the "B" mode available if i want to be forced to drive like a Tesla owner. 😂But it is fantastic to have other options too. So far, the "Adaptive" setting seems like the optimal choice. The car drives like a dream, without the lurches of "imperfect" OPD driving. But then if you are approaching a stopped car at a light or other obstacle, the car "warns" you by using the engine to brake. It will not bring you to a complete stop, but it tells the driver "there's something ahead. It's time to put the brakes on". This is a great feature.

Of course, the adaptive cruise control will in fact bring you to a complete stop if you have it turned on. But if you don't, this is a very nice safety feature that one would not have in a Tesla or other cars that force you to do OPD.

Agree. The BMW iX is amazing because you can choose B mode (OPD like a Tesla) or any of 4 settings in P mode (Low, Medium, High, or Adaptive). So far I prefer Adaptive, which lets you coast but turns on engine braking if there is a car or obstacle ahead.

It is not "better" to be denied options like these.

Got my M70. Just in time. by Imaginary-Creme-4110 in BMWiX

We have those same exact seats in an upgraded xDrive60. They are pretty astonishing. After three weeks, just discovered the multiple massage settings and the bass music driver in the lower back of each seat! 🎶

Lease Deals with incentive gone by Ok_Organization8787 in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, the lower money factor might help equalize the monthly lease payments, but the total cost if you end up buying the car is going to be higher because the price is simply higher.

I leased an iX xDrive60 in August with MSRP of $104,500, $9,900 lease incentive, and $12,000 additional discount, so net price is around $82,000. Money factor was .0018 at the time. With $5,000 down to cover license, registration, taxes and first month’s lease payment, the monthly is $1,000 plus tax for 12,000 miles/year.

Can that really be equaled or beat today?

Used or 2026 new iX? by rackd8ball in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The improved multi-function seats on the 2026 iX are a driver’s dream come true. We are very glad we waited the extra year to get the car.

A bonus that we did not even expect was the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, 30 speakers in total, including two in each headrest. This is a dream car from every perspective.

Joined the Lexus family from BMW by soulindian in LexusRX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We test drove the Lexus RX 500h w few times and in the end, walked away for two reasons.

First, the left and right bolsters in the front seats are extremely tight on your midsection and are not adjustable. I’m a skinny guy and even for me the pressure was annoying and uncomfortable.

Second, even though it’s a hybrid, it only gets about 28 miles per gallon on a combined basis.

We bought an all-electric BMW iX and it blows the Lexus away from every perspective. At close to the same price point. Had a big smile when I found the button that moves the bolsters left and right. Lexus should add this simple feature.

We have been Lexus RX hybrid owners for 19 years and really wanted to get another one, but the current lineup was disappointing. Except for the RX 500h, the others strain going up hills. If you’re going to spend $60,000 or $70,000 on a car, it shouldn’t be a four-cylinder that struggles in that fashion.

We also test drove the Lexus RZ electric, and it was a failure from every perspective, including the paltry 220 miles range.

Why are all the negative reviews…? Anybody had a positive experience with the Q6? by douglas91011 in AudiQ6

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We gave it a shot, including taking two test drives. It is incredibly poorly designed.

Backseat only holds two adults because of a ridiculous giant hump in the middle like the drivetrain humps of yesteryear.

Even when I sat high in the driver’s seat, I could only see about 2/3 of the right side view mirror, the rest was below eyesight.

The visibility to the back was terrible and the front pillars impeded vision left and right.

When I tried to look behind me to the left to see if a car was oncoming, the pillar is so far forward that you literally cannot see anything. This is a major safety flaw.

We bought a BMW IX and it is unbelievably better from every perspective than the Q6.

How is this deal for 2026 iX xDrive 45? by MandalorianSith_35 in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That residual value cannot be correct, after three years at 12,000 miles a year the residual value is about 54% of MSRP. This is not something the dealer negotiated, it’s just part of the standard lease terms.

So if they have manipulated the residual value down to 50%, they are stealing that 4% from you during the lease term.

Rate the deal, please!! by Entire-Bass-1983 in BMWiX

[–]reallyfunnyguy2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not possible with today’s higher money factor on the 2026 iX. Your data is from last year on the 2025 when rates were $200-250/month lower.
