I'm fairly certain you have this feature included in all 2024 model year iXs. I just picked up a new X3 for a friend on a P1 order and it was included. Can't imagine you wouldn't get it in the iX at 2x the cost of the X3! It wasn't on the X3 window sticker mentioned either!

Mine mentioned that it would cost ~$350 to do so. Sounds pretty steep to me, considering we only got ~$200 credit for the delete.

No, I had the attached "owe" from corporate. I received the cost of the module reimbursed finally and the retrofit programming at no cost.

Yes, this vehicle is a victim of Coding 2.0 whereby all the CAFDs live in the BMW Back-end cloud and NCD signing is done in a new and different manner, also signed by certificates on the Back-end cloud.
For now, coding on late-model BMWs is dead in the water. However, if we had access to the tools, it would be a 30 second job!
