x50 unavailable options per year
I’m looking at used iX’s, up to 2025 due to prices.
What I’ve gathered is that the 2024 model year air suspension/rear wheel steer package “Dynamic Handling Package” was removed, then added again for 2025+.
iDrive 8.5 which includes an update for DAPP to work up to 85 mph instead of 8.0’s up to 45 mph, was available starting with the 2024 model year.
So if I wanted both air suspension and iDrive 8.5, it would have to be a 2025+ model year? Unfortunately the builder was taken down and I never used it before so I’m riding out on old forum discussions.
I would go for a 2025 or even 2026 but used prices are much higher for those compared to 2022-2024 models.
My dream spec right now is xDrive50 with DAPP, Premium, Dynamic Handling, and Radiant Heat. M60’s are out of price range otherwise that would be a much simpler search since they all received air suspension.
Coming from a 2020 X5 with air suspension so feel like going to regular springs would be a let down with how much of the suspension is shared
Edit: Just test drove a 2024 xDrive50 (no air suspension). Honestly felt smooth and nice. The bumps were noticeable but compared to the G05 air suspension I’d still feel those same bumps just slightly less. I am prioritizing iDrive8.5 now
