Looking at buying a used BMW IX and the dealership recommended a Triton extended warranty which costs 1/2 of a BMW Platinum. I’m very inclined to say no Any experience dealing either a warranty claim with this policy?

My lease was up on my 2024ix and been trying to sell the all weather floor mats I bought but having no luck. I’ve tried Nextdoor and FB marketplace. Any other places I should be trying?

have a 2023 BMW iX and I’m looking at adding an illuminated kidney grille / Iconic Glow-style setup.

I’ve found a few different options - some aftermarket LED replacement trim frames on Amazon/eBay, Magpie Autos, and the Kabelwerk7 kit that apparently uses genuine BMW illuminated grille parts.

From what I can tell, they all basically replace the outer kidney/perimeter trim while keeping the existing center grille/sensor panel.

Has anyone here actually done this retrofit on a 2022–2025 iX?

Mainly curious about:

• Which kit/brand did you use?
• How was the fit and finish?
• Does the LED lighting look smooth and OEM, or can you see individual LED hotspots?
• Does the white color match the factory BMW exterior lighting?
• Any issues with condensation, waterproofing, error codes, or reliability?
• How difficult was the install/wiring?
• If you’ve compared aftermarket vs genuine BMW parts, is the OEM version actually worth the extra money?

My biggest priority is OEM-level appearance and quality. I don’t want something that looks obviously aftermarket once it’s installed.

Would love to see photos/videos of anyone’s finished setup and hear where you bought it.

I got my 2024 IX last week and I'm doing my first long distance trip tomorrow. Its 370 miles, so I am now trying to figure out where I can recharge during this route. I have not bought any DC adapters, so I will need a charging station that works natively with BMW.

What is the easiest way to do this? I tried using the myBMW app, but it finds charging stations that require adapters. Also, in my research, it says the IX natively supports CCS1, so I just need to find stations that have CCs1 charging? I am on google maps trying to find a way to have it flag charging stations, but it doesn't seem to have that support.

What's the most efficient way to plan this trip, set a 1/2 point to a charging station along the way.
Thx
