BMW iX Every Button Explained

[@bmwblog]

What's your favorite function in the new BMW iX?

[@Skynet_01]

The Gesture control...... wish there were more presets.

[@TsavoLion88]

The AI and gesture. I think the sun roof is dope but would rather it open. Don’t see much difference between opaque and clear to be honest.

[@clarasolismartinez8069]

the bowers and wilkins is my favorite thing on the IX

[@thatlostfrisk8336]

Sunroof + gesture

[@sqv-i3b]

use hands to control volume

[@swisstrader]

This was pure genius. I just bought an ix and even tho the guys at the dealership did a complete walkthrough, this was at another level so thanks for that! One side bar: my ix came in titanium bronze trim which includes trim on the seat adjustments buttons (over the crystal). However, unlike this car On my car there are no preset buttons. Just guessing I can use the screen to late drivers setting for seats but haven’t found that quite yet.

[@aigomorla]

I think the crystal is an option. I have a Medium trim level, however my buttons are not crystal. Looking at the one showed which also has the Bower & Wilkens option, i think that is probably the top trim level, with the rising and lower suspension, and the turning rear wheels even.

[@maxkonig559]

A lot of those features have been with BMWs for over 20 to 30 years. I love the idea of being able to control the windows from a distance. A good way to let the heat out before entering.

[@aigomorla]

Its sort of pointless because its an electric car, so the car does not need to be running for the AC compressor to work. And with MyBMW app, you can turn on the AC before you even get to the car, entering a nice and cool car on a hot day.

[@raghurao670]

Yeah. How to pull up the windows remotely from my BMW App in case we forgot to roll it up ?

[@jerryangell9956]

Been looking at purchase. This vid is well worth the checking out. BTW I like the front end look. Cudos to the BMW designers.

[@bmwblog]

Good choice!

[@stolenthimes4391]

Nice video, I will have to watch it ten more times to remember...;) Must be 250+ funktions and buttons. Think you forgot to show us the passenger airbag on/off, but that might just be me blinking my eyes;)

[@bmwblog]

You are right!

[@johnelegant1727]

Precise; very informative, knowledge laden. Well done!

[@swisstrader]

Never heard that triple click of remote turns car on so thanks for that. Any idea why that might be useful?

[@JanELohne]

Since you mentioned the emerg pull tab for rear. You should show the "hidden" pull tabs for the bonnet also in each foot well in the front ;-)

[@bmwblog]

Good idea!

[@klashokkumar]

Loved your review. Learnt some useful tips especially about carefully taking out the mechanical key and its use. Very precise in your words and spot on with your iPhone camera. Great job. 👏👏. Can you post a link to your Video about iDrive 8 ?

[@bmwblog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

very informative, with so many features, one needs a refresher course once in a while, subscribed 😊

[@bmwblog]

Awesome, thank you!

[@sqv-i3b]

you also use bmw app to lock and unlock your car also check car location and battery

[@koenvanvaerenbergh4480]

Thanks. But how do you manually LOCK the doors with de safety key?? When you go watersporting for example. Nowhere explained in the manual (in a way that works..). Thanks!

[@raghurao670]

You just walk away from the car and it auto locks.

[@christianrasch9340]

Hi :) Planning to sleep in the car for a long roadtrip. How do I keep the car on (for the ventilation system), and same time turn OFF the outside lights? Seams like the lights can't be turned off as long as the car is ON.

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

just open a window slighly for aeration, this is not a RV 😊

[@idmeister]

@@andreh.dupuis8475 -10 Celsius in Norway. So I need the heat on. Seams like it’s not possible to have ventilation ON and lights OFF

[@bmwblog]

They can be turned off. There is a switch

[@Chris.Rasch99]

Still can’t turn off the lights when the engine is on. Only when I put the car in park - but then the car automatically turns off after 30min.

[@bmwblog]

@@Chris.Rasch99 I wonder if that's a regulation or something

[@luis.antunes.imobiliario]

Very good video! Thanks

[@bmwblog]

Glad you liked it!

[@forensicskulls]

Thank You

[@Monodrive1]

Great one of the best

[@farmerbold1144]

Thanks! I need this.

[@bmwblog]

Happy to help!

[@LJ70BJ40]

You don't show how the hood is opened. It's opened from underneath the dashboard at both corners.

[@michaelslaten8831]

Heated steering wheel- where is that button? Thank you

[@TsavoLion88]

There isn’t one. In theory it clicks on when you turn on your heat but I haven’t felt it thus far so I’m interested to know if anyone has felt heat in it.

[@klashokkumar]

Yes, I have felt it often. It shows up on the display just above the seat heater button. The heat is more measured and subtler than in BMW ICE cars but does the job very well

[@mikeli9942]

Hi Andrai , any advice how Do you set up ESIM ? It does not pop up on my BMW App. (. Some videos from US show My BMW app will activate your BMW ESIM ). Thanks !

[@bmwblog]

Interesting. Let me look at that

[@MrJackie555]

Thankfully

[@sergioalcazar6472]

I had an incident in Hermosillo, Sonora, with my BMW iX xDrive50, which unexpectedly accelerated while turning at low speed, something that has been documented as an issue by the NHTSA in the United States, though there is no regulatory body to investigate it in Mexico. I’m concerned about the safety of this technology, as there have been other serious cases reported. However, BMW Mexico does not recognize this as a technical fault and claims it was human error, despite my request to exchange the vehicle to ensure my safety. The company will review my request with the distributor but requires payment of the deductible, leaving my concern about a potential defect in the vehicle unresolved.

[@mrmusic1880]

I wish it had more button's, the less the worse😥

[@bmwblog]

Yes, will miss the programmable buttons

[@erosogarnar8782]

Do you know if the back windows can GO all the way down

[@bmwblog]

Good question. We need to test it

[@SimpIyIvan]

if i remembered correctly the rear window only goes half way down, I recommend check out the bmw forums for images

[@TsavoLion88]

They don’t and it’s annoying.

[@TsavoLion88]

I’ve had mine since May. I don’t think it remote starts so that’s not accurate.

[@bmwblog]

Depends on the country. Not everyone has that feature, due to regulations

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

I think it may be called remote start because the app is made for both ICE and BEV, but in the iX it only preconditions the ventilation/climate system 😀

[@christianherrera4729]

The interior is beautiful, but dear god the grill is hideous. I thought the new grills would grow on me, but 2 years later nope. Not even a little bit. BMW is really taking a dump on their brand identity in the last few years.

[@aarp24236]

Strongly disagree I think it’s best looking bmw model modern day wise

[@swisstrader]

Man on an island, cuz about to win a bunch of awards for SUV of the year

[@최민석-x1x]

Grill looks good. Everybody like it except you😂

[@aarp24236]

I’ve drove the ix 50 it is rapid can imagine the m60

[@kitttran1852]

How many cylinders in the engine? lol

[@bmwblog]

As many as you want :)

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

Reading suggestion: EV for dummies😊

[@jamesmcalevey6749]

How can you start a engine that’s not there ☹️

[@bmwblog]

You can't but you can start up the car

[@ewaxie1458]

There is no way to use remote engine start on electric car.

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

True, for iX you can pre condition the cabin temperature through the BMW app, you can program the date and hour of your next departure and the ventilation system will preheat or precool the cabin 😊

[@its_justin800]

Says you

[@JackNapier22]

It's a motor not an engine.

[@bmwblog]

True

[@travisty357]

You said "remote start the engine" multiple times. 🤣

[@fikretilbay8795]

$140,000 basic model, very expensive, don't buy it

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

what country and currency? a fully loaded iX 50 is 100,000$ USD, buy it if you like it 😊

[@TsavoLion88]

Thats not true. I think base was like high 90s.

[@swisstrader]

You buying this from Pluto? Just purchased mine in the US and it’s was $95k fully loaded
