We put an order in over the weekend on a '23 X5 45e, and this board has been an incredible resource while we learned more about the 45e.

When we visited our local BMW dealer over the weekend, the dealer happened to have the new 23 iX on the lot. The person that ordered it wanted a different spec, so it was available. They let us take it for a short test ride, and I was very impressed. If we were ready for a full EV, the iX would be at the top of the list.

We have not ordered a car since the early 2000s, and I felt like a kid in the candy store when selecting options.

Full details of the build:
Carbon Black Metallic
Cognac Sensafin (me coffee, wife cognac. wife wins, but I'm ok with this one)
Brown-Metallic Ash Grain Wood Trim
Executive Package
Driving Assistance Package
Parking Assistance Package
Luxury Seating Package
M Sport Package
21" M Y-spoke Bi color wheels
M Sport Breaks w/Blue Calipers
Extended Shawowline Trim

We are currently in 047 status, and once BMW accepts the order, we will get the production number. We considered European delivery, but the timing is not right. We want to do that someday. We may take delivery at the Performance Center in SC. That looks like a great experience. Cheers

Congrats! Looks like a nice, loaded build. If you have any inkling or need to tow, even if only a bike rack, spend the few hundred for the trailer hitch.

Sounds a lot like mine, sans the 21" wheels.





It's a great combo!

I did not think of that. Great call, I'll be adding the hitch. Thanks!
