xDrive50 (2021-2025)

Can you afford a 2021-2025 BMW iX xDrive50 in 2025?

# 2021-2025 BMW iX xDrive50 The BMW iX xDrive50 represents BMW's flagship electric SUV, blending luxury with cutting-edge EV technology. Featuring dual motors producing 516 horsepower and approximately 300 miles of range, it delivers spirited performance wrapped in a controversial design characterized by its massive kidney grille and angular styling. Reviewers praise its serene, minimally-styled cabin with curved display screens and premium materials, though the gesture controls and tech interface receive mixed reactions. The ride quality is exceptionally smooth and quiet, befitting its luxury positioning. The iX is infamous for its polarizing exterior design that divides opinion sharply. It's well-suited for affluent buyers seeking a spacious, tech-forward electric SUV for daily driving and road trips, particularly those prioritizing comfort over sportiness and willing to embrace BMW's bold design direction in the EV era.

The BMW iX xDrive50 has minimal routine maintenance due to its EV drivetrain—no oil changes or transmission services. However, BMW's complex electronics can be expensive to repair out-of-warranty. Tire wear is accelerated due to heavy weight (5,600+ lbs). Insurance runs high due to costly repairs and expensive parts. Early reliability appears solid.
