Verdict
Grand SUV 100 % électrique de 5 places, coffre de 500 litres, classé 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2021. Les retours de propriétaires publiés manquent : seul un rappel de la batterie haute tension (iX fabriqués de juillet 2021 à juillet 2022, risque d'incendie) est documenté. Faites vérifier par numéro de série chez BMW qu'il a été effectué.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 0 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
Manufacturer recall campaign, fixed free of charge at a dealer:
- Batterie haute tension : rappel pour risque d'incendie (xDrive40, xDrive50, M60)
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “BMW iX”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

Inspection checklist
BMW iX I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série, chez un concessionnaire BMW, que le rappel de la batterie haute tension a été effectué (voitures fabriquées de juillet 2021 à juillet 2022).
- Demander un bilan de santé de la batterie haute tension et la capacité utile réelle.
- Contrôler la charge en courant alternatif et en courant continu, avec le câble d'origine.
- Vérifier l'état des pneus et des freins : la voiture dépasse 2,4 tonnes.
- Contrôler l'écran et le système multimédia, ainsi que la mise à jour logicielle.
Questions to ask the seller
- Le rappel de la batterie haute tension a-t-il été effectué ? Avez-vous l'attestation du concessionnaire ?
- Quelle est la garantie restante sur la batterie haute tension ?
- Quelle autonomie réelle constatez-vous en hiver et sur autoroute ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
