205 Used BMW iX cars for sale

As an electric-only model, the powertrain lineup is fairly straightforward when searching for a used BMW iX, with only three choices available:

• xDrive40: 321bhp, 0 to 60mph in 6.1 seconds and an all-electric range of up to 264 miles WLTP.
• xDrive50: 516bhp, 0 to 60mph in 4.6 seconds and an all-electric range of up to 382 miles WLTP.
• M60: 610bhp, 0 to 60mph in 3.8 seconds and an all-electric range of up to 348 miles WLTP.

The entry-level xDrive40 model is a solid choice as is, but it's best reserved for those that don't often venture further afield due to its lower EV range. Opt for an example with the uprated xDrive50 powertrain and things feel a little more dialled in, with more performance in hand when needed, while the range-topping M60 will appeal to those that want both EV economy blended with M Performance.

All used iX models will come with the famed xDrive all-wheel drive system as standard, making it more than capable of handling tricky conditions with ease.

Thanks to its large dimensions, the BMW iX proves to be a very practical car, with plenty of interior space for all on board. Rear passengers will benefit from added leg room when compared to traditionally-powered alternatives too, as there's no transmission tunnel for the central passenger to straddle.

While you'll be hard-pushed to find a more spacious option in terms of cabin space, the BMW iX does sacrifice some boot space in its quest for superior comfort. With a boot space of 500 litres, it's still respectably sized, but rivals such as the Tesla Model Y (854 litres) have the upper hand in this department. Folding down the rear seats in the iX does unlock further carrying capabilities, with a cavernous 1,750 litres to play with.

Away from interior space, the BMW iX is a well-rounded car that's practical enough for the lives of most, and if you plan on towing additional loads, it offers a braked towing capacity of up to 2,500kg. Make sure to check the specification of the exact used iX you're looking at though, as xDrive40 variants offer a slightly lower, yet still impressive, 2,100kg braked towing capacity.

As BMW's flagship electric SUV, it comes as no surprise to learn that the iX earned the full five-star safety rating when it went through Euro NCAP's rigorous crash test, scoring 91% for adult occupant protection and 87% for child passenger protection. This puts it at the top of its class in terms of safety, giving you extra peace of mind while out on the road.

BMW has implemented what it calls an 'integrated safety concept' which includes the likes of interactive airbags, coordinated restraint systems, highly resilient support structures and precisely designed deformation zones that all help in keeping you safe in the event of a collision.

There's a range of active safety technology available too, with attention assist, lane departure warning and speed limit recognition all coming as standard, while higher spec models will offer additional features such as the Driving Assistant Professional Package that includes steering and lane guidance assistance.

BMW models are often trailblazers when it comes to new technology and the iX certainly fits this mould. There's a heap of advanced technology to be found when searching for a used iX, with a variety of optional extras available when new, so be sure to confirm which gadgets the used example you're looking at has.

Entry-level 'Sport' variants come well-equipped as is, with LED headlights, a large 'Live Cockpit' infotainment system with navigation, and heated front seats coming as standard. Move up the range to 'M Sport' or 'M' models, and you'll benefit from the introduction of sportier aesthetics and features such as enhanced parking assist and an interior camera.

Notable extras to look out for when looking for a used iX include the 'Technology Plus Pack' that features an upgraded Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system and the 'Comfort Plus Pack' which introduces a massage function to the front seats and gives rear passengers the luxury of heated seats, too.
