xDrive40 (2021-2025)

Can you afford a 2021-2025 BMW iX xDrive40 in 2025?

# 2021-2025 BMW iX xDrive40 The BMW iX xDrive40 is BMW's flagship electric SUV, blending luxury with approximately 324 horsepower and 300+ miles of range. This mid-size crossover features a controversial, bold grille design that polarizes enthusiasts, though most praise its supremely quiet, tech-laden interior with curved display screens and premium materials. Reviewers commend its smooth ride quality, spacious cabin, and impressive build quality, though some criticize its hefty curb weight affecting handling dynamics compared to sportier BMWs. The iX is infamous for its distinctive styling and high price point. It's well-suited for affluent buyers seeking a comfortable, tech-forward electric family hauler for daily commuting and road trips. The xDrive40 appeals to those wanting BMW luxury without needing the xDrive50's extra performance, making it ideal for environmentally-conscious professionals prioritizing refinement over sportiness.

The BMW iX xDrive40 has minimal routine maintenance due to its electric powertrain—no oil changes or transmission services. However, BMW's parts and labor rates remain premium-priced. Tire wear can be accelerated by the vehicle's substantial weight (5,600+ lbs). Insurance costs are elevated due to expensive specialized bodywork and advanced technology repairs.
