Streets Ahead.

Dual BMW electric motors, fifth-generation eDrive technology and the latest electric all-wheel drive system, takes adventures beyond expectations. The BMW iX xDrive50 offers a superb range of up to 380 miles* and a sports-car level of acceleration – effortlessly going from 0 to 62mph in 4.6 seconds (BMW iX xDrive 40: range of up to 257 miles* and 0 - 62mph in 6.1 seconds).

*These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. There is a new test for fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures. The electric range shown was achieved using the new test procedure. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.

Meet The New BMW iDrive. 

Running the new Operating System 8, the latest BMW iDrive will make journeys far more personal and immersive. Innovative sensors and artificial intelligence allow the driver and vehicle to be more connected, while enhanced interfaces like voice and gesture controls and the BMW Curved Display serve as a seamless bridge to your digital life. Add to this the expected driver-oriented design, such as the latest aesthetic control panels, and adventures are about to get more rewarding and luxurious.

A New Beginning.

Elegant touches make the new BMW iX unlike any other vehicle. Embracing a futuristic and streamlined shape, it combines minimal flat surfaces with expressive elements; as seen with the superb 22” Air Performance wheels and slender twin headlights and rear lights (the slimmest introduced on a series BMW). Other elements of style include the exterior mirrors, electric integrated door openers and a graphic window, which are all harmoniously integrated with the overall appearance.

Introducing Shy Tech.

The Shy Tech concept focuses on the passengers and allows the modern technology in the BMW iX to blend into the background until needed or explicitly desired. This invisible intelligence can be experienced in many details of the exterior and interior – such as the kidney grille, which functions as an intelligent surface and houses camera technology, radar functions, state-of-the-art sensor technology and heating elements. Other examples include the invisibly embedded speakers of the audio system and the minimalist button design for the interior.

Driving Assistance In The New iX.

Driving Assistant Professional, which offers optimum convenience and safety in critical or monotonous traffic situations, is just one of the many driver assistance systems that comes as a standard feature. Others include the Steering and lane guidance assist with extended functions, Emergency steer assist, and Lane keeping assistant with side collision warning. Also available is the Parking Assistant Plus, which helps in parking and manoeuvring. It uses a large number of cameras to give you a full display of objects surrounding your vehicle – in 3D as well.

iX M60

The BMW iX M60 is the first purely electric BMW M model in the performance segment of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). Experience state-of-the-art design paired with athletic driving dynamics – with zero local CO2 emissions when driving.

  • Fully electric drive with two BMW M eDrive motors, electric all-wheel drive BMW xDrive, 455 kW/619 hp** and 1,100 Nm*** torque.
  • Zero local CO2 emissions when driving and a range of up to 351* miles (WLTP).
  • Clear design, generously proportioned interior and highly modern ambience.
  • State-of-the-art technology and an enhanced range of standard equipment.


FAQ's 

Why does the range vary? 

The respective range of an electric vehicle depends on various factors such as driving style, route conditions, vehicle equipment, weather conditions and payload.

General range specification and range values in this indicator

In the model selection, the communicated range is based on the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light-Duty Test Procedure) cycle.

WLTP enables a calculation of the range under prescribed driving conditions. WLTP assumes a defensive driving style with a route mix of city streets, country roads and highways.

The range indicator enables you to estimate the range based on the effect of three variable factors (Driving style, ambient temperature and use of air conditioning). The actual range achieved will depend on a number of other variable factors as set out in the ‘In detail’ section above.

The outer circle represents the calculated range value based on linear distances (not the actual street map), while the inner circle shows the calculated value -30% to take the real-world routes into account.

All range figures shown assume the battery has been fully charged.

In Detail

High average speeds (motorway) reduce the range most significantly, while inner-city traffic leads to a higher range due to lower speed and higher recuperation shares (in contrast to vehicles with internal combustion engines). Furthermore, the range is reduced at low temperatures due to heating, and high temperatures with strong air conditioning. The vehicle load, for example the number of passengers carried as well as the amount of luggage, as well as optional equipment fitted to a vehicle can also impact the range. The selection of larger alloy wheel and tyre sizes generally reduces the range (if the aerodynamic disadvantage is not compensated for by a more closed wheel design). The rolling resistance class of tyres is also relevant for the range: e.g. the use of a winter tyre reduces the range compared to a Label A summer tyre.

What are the assumptions underlying the driving style settings?

Setting a “sporty” driving style assumes 100% driving at average motorway speeds, with more dynamic acceleration. The "economical" setting assumes defensive driving on country roads with an average speed of around 50 mph. Settings in-between produce a mixture of both.
