Effective charge rate better the a TM3 it can hold 200kW longer


At least UK or EU models can trickle charge at 3.6kW to 11kW depending on your mains supply at home

Putting 600A into the car with that small connector a bit scary to say the least

When I get my Msport 50 in October with 370 mile range it will seldom see an ultra rapid charger

Is trailer hitch not available as an option? Don't see it in the configurator.
There is no massage seats or rear heated seats either, at least in Canada.

The Canadian configurator doesn't seem to be complete right now.
You can't seem to pick the xdrive40 model at all, and a lot of the options in packages are not listing what they actually include.

The heated rear seats might be included in the 'Premium Enhanced Package' as part of the 'Heat Comfort Package' option. It is not directly mentioned on the site, but googling that name I found the following description:
"Heated rear seats are also available as an option. This function is part of the optional Heat Comfort package, which also brings heating on vertical surfaces such as the instrument panel, glove compartment, door panels, and contact surfaces like the centre armrest and steering wheel. All of this helps to warm the interior particularly efficiently. Spreading the heated areas around the surfaces of the interior in this way allows the occupants of the BMW iX to sense the change in temperature much more quickly than with a conventional distribution of warm air. And direct contact with the warmed surfaces fast-tracks the feel-good factor for those on board."

Similarly, massage seats are likely included as part of the mutli-function seats option that is part of the 'Premium Essential Package', but again not explicitly listed on the Canadian site.

No idea about the trailer hitch being available.

This is of course an educated guess at best since BMW Canada has made poor decisions in the past as to what to include... I'd either check-in with your dealership for them to confirm or wait a little longer for the site to be updated.

FYI This was the source I quoted above
