I make an assumption that the water on my garage floor is from the Air conditioner condense. Anything i can not Else it could be anyone else notice this?

If your A/C has been running, yes, the humidity removed from the ambient air will be drained underneath the car. In my X5, there is no other pure H2O source in the car, so I know what it is. I assume the battery coolant in the iX is not pure water either, but that's just a guess.

It cannot be pure water, as there must be some sort of antifreeze in that as component (battery coolant), supposing that is water cooled.

Maybe it's air cooled. :-)

Yeah there have been other reports of AC condensation draining from these. Think tall glass of ice on a humid day creating a pool of water at the base. It's unlikely that the liquid has originated from the car itself, but was collected from the air.

If it IS coolant that that could be a problem

Yup, AC condensation
Same as my old Tesla, or any other car really
