No One is Talking About These BMW iX Problems

Video Description

Is the BMW iX actually reliable? In this video, I break down all the most common problems, recalls, and known issues with the BMW iX — from software glitches and black screens to steering rack issues, suspension noises, and high-voltage battery recalls. After 6 months of ownership, I’ve already experienced one of these problems myself, so I wanted to dig deep and find what other owners are seeing. Whether you already own a BMW iX or you’re thinking of buying one, this is the real-world reliability report you don’t want to miss. We’ll cover software bugs, battery & drivetrain software recalls, suspension and steering concerns, official recalls & service bulletins with NHTSA and what BMW has done to fix these issues. Despite these problems, the BMW iX might just be one of the most reliable BMWs ever made thanks to over-the-air updates and strong warranty support.
