Probably no change in battery, range, efficiency, etc. It may not even be cosmetic changes (there were no cosmetic changes to 2023 and 2024).
But the side question is, how much range do you think you need? BMW grossly understates the iX range. Car & Driver got 290 miles in their 75 MPH highway test, which is one of the roughest controlled tests anyone does. InsideEVs got 345 miles in their 70 MPH test, and Consumer Reports got 370 miles in their 70 MPH test. (The CR test aligns with InsideEVs, because CR runs the car to a flatbed, while InsideEVs only goes to indicated 0%.)
The car gets enough range for a pretty healthy road trip leg, and it charges fast enough to keep you on the road.
