Used iX purchase advice
Long-time (gas) BMW owner, first time poster. I’ve done a lot of research on the car, tech, reading through this forum, and finally test drove it this morning, but I’d love to get your insights on other things.
1) what surprised you after having owned for awhile, that you never would have thought of before purchase? 2) the dealership I’m buying from is not a BMW dealer, but still a very large and reputable dealership group in town. Any downside? 3) is it madness to purchase a pretty expensive almost 2 year old EV given that battery warranty only runs another 6 years? |

Is it a 2022 or 2023, how many miles, what option?
To be honest, I persoanlly would feel more comfortable purchasing from a BMW dealer but it really shouldn’t matter. Are used IX’s purchased from a BMW dealer subject to CPO and therefore extended warranty? 6 years for the battery is pretty good and the batteries should last 200k-300k. It’s the basic 4 years warranty on other items I would think about. |

2023 with sport package, 15k miles and 22” wheels. Dealer ad says Ultimate Package 2, but I can’t find evidence anywhere that’s actually a thing?
I’ve looked at BMW USA inventory, some are CPO and most aren’t. |

I looked at used iX’s, but only from BMW dealerships and that had CPO’d the car. I finally found a very lightly used ‘24 M60 that was just 3 months ‘old’ and had 2,000 miles on that had every option I wanted and the CPO, which offers excellent benefits along with a 5 year/100K warranty. It was worth the small premium I no doubt paid over what a CarMax, etc. would have charged me for the CPO alone, but the added bonus was that the car was showroom clean.
I personally would keep looking for a CPO. |

One of the biggest challenges to buying a used BMW is getting the options you want. BMW makes that really difficult, because stuff you might assume would be standard on a premium car is either part of a package or an individual option. Therefore, I recommend you study the 2025 build and identify every option you want. Then confirm that your must-haves are on your target car. The 2025 is largely the same as the 2023, except for Driving Assistance Pro, that is only available on 2024 and newer. Here are my thoughts on the many options…

I would go with a cpo unit from a BMW dealership. Their goodwill to you & their relationship with corporate may be very helpful if you have any issues or whatever.
It is a good thing to be perceived as a loyal & reasonable customer, & visa-versa. |

One other major consideration is the price. If you lease new, you essentially get it with a $20K discount off MSRP. So, I would not consider a used 2023 unless it is at least $30K off MSRP, and $40K is probably a better target.

What they can do varies. For example, in 2023 DA Pro, the active driving assist is only fully hands free up to 40 mph, in 2024 it’s up to 85mph (I think). My 2023 has Parking Assistant Pro with remote control parking and saved maneuvers, pre March 2022 builds do not. Lots of subtleties, so be careful when buying used. If there’s a feature that’s a must-have on a 2025, when you find a used one, come on here and ask the forums. We know a lot more than even the BMW Geniuses (ask us how we know).

I thought BMW named them differently when they got new capabilities. The 2024 DAPP does lane centering to 80 MPH. Did they call it the same in the prior MYs that only went to 40 MPH?

Looks like it’s called “Highway Assistant” now. Furthers my point of the forums being a great resource relative to dealers / geniuses. And definitely more than CarMax.

Ask them to include the CPO status as part of your negotiations!
