2022 BMW iX — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 48 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Driver-assistance systems13 (27.1%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2022–2023.
• Electrical system9 (18.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2022–2023.
• Speed control & accelerator5 (10.4%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2022–2023.
• Steering5 (10.4%)
• Fuel system3 (6.3%)
• Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)3 (6.3%)

Other / uncategorized: 4 classifications (8.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (164 records, model years 2022–2026) are most frequently classified under: driver-assistance systems, electrical system and air bags (restraint system).
• Manufacturer communications (416 records, model years 2022–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and body & structure.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Evidence by model year

Records held per model year. Select a year to narrow this page to it.

3. 2025 47 records for 2025 47
4. 2026 11 records for 2026 11

Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold in each year, so a taller year is not necessarily a worse year.
