A few months ago I got my first look at the new 2026 BMW iX series. I got to drive all of them, including the entry-level model in the xDrive45, but came away thinking they were overrated from my day’s worth of driving.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of how BMW’s vehicles perfectly blend power and features, like the BMW i4 M50 Gran Coupe I drove for a week last year, but their high sticker prices are certainly hard to overlook. The iX xDrive45 is definitely in that boat with its $75,150 starting cost.
