The iX M60 is launching as a 2023 model year and according to the USA build tool, it will have the Parking Assistant Professional feature as part of the Driving Assistant Professional Package. By comparison, the 2022 iX 50 comes with the Parking Assistant Plus when you add the Premium Package. You can never rely too much on what the build tool tells you but the descriptions of the Parking Assistant Pro vs Plus are different (see below; you would think they would use a pic of the center console that matches the iX but guess not). Notably, the Pro describing the Back-up Assistant function as "fully automated" while the Plus description says the Back-up Assistant "will steer you out, while you control the speed and braking," in other words, not fully automated.
It's anyone's guess if the 2023 iX 50 will also get bumped up to the Parking Assistant Professional that will be in the 2023 iX M60 or whether that will be reserved just for the iX M60 as a differentiation. Also unclear is whether the Parking Assistant Professional in the iX M60 is the same as the Parking Assistant Pro that will show up in the 2023 7 series, as described in this article. They seem like they might be the same but some of the names in the 2023 7 Series are similar but different - for example, Reversing Assistant Professional instead of Back Up Assistant. |

Canadians also have a $500 option to upgrade to Parking Assistant Pro even on the 2022 iX 50: And some of the descriptions of the Parking Assistant Pro in the 2022 iX 50 matches what's being rolled out in the 2023 7 series like Reversing Assistant Professional working up to 200 meters: |

They initially only had the 50 model available to us. The 40 (just like the M60) will not be available for a while here and so by the time you can get a 40 built, they will be 2023 models.

I don't understand why your order wasn't processed until 4/8/22 if you placed your deposit last July ! Were you getting any status updates in the interim ? These long periods of silence ( I went thru that also with a SA who I like and trust) rob us of any accountability mechanism to know what is going on with our order.

Pretty annoying when I sent the build spec to my SA that parking assistant pro wasn’t an option and I only found out about it after the build was locked in.

And this is why dealing with a good salesman is still a nice thing. It is their job to know this stuff well and to guide us through picking the proper config and to make sure we know of all the possible options and not rely on the fact that we obsessed over the purchase for months and noticed every little thing possible. |

Thanks. My build is June and they said to allow up to 3 months for delivery to Ontario. Sounds like they may have been overly conservative on the shipping timeline. Underpromise, overdeliver. It would be nice to get it quicker.

My SA quoted 2 weeks from build date (late March) to shipping (barring delays) and 6 weeks shipping by boat to Halifax and rail to Alberta for an end of May delivery.

He said that the switchover to 2023 models is in July and that they would get the ordering guide around June. |

Mine has been at "production begins" for two weeks. When I called the bmw genius number last Monday, I was told that my car is scheduled to be completed on 5/25. I hope it can still somehow be shipped over here in time for the June delivery estimate.

My experience with the "My Garage" tracker on previous builds (four of them) is that it's only generally related to the actual build progress of the car. It stalls, jumps ahead, then stalls again. Twice "Dispatched from factory" status for example when we were taking delivery of the car at the dealership, and "Quality check" for weeks on one....

Last I heard I was also an April 28th date and I moved into production sometime in mid-March I think (I wasn't checking regularly when it happened).
When I chatted with the BMW Genius person I think they said it was ~6 weeks to build the iX. Then roughly 8 weeks after assembly I would receive delivery on the west coast of the USA. |
