Overview
The BMW iX xDrive45 M Sport is positioned between the entry xDrive40 and the flagship xDrive50 in BMW’s large EV SUV range. The M Sport package applies to the suspension calibration, body styling, brake specification, and interior trim — bringing a more athletic character to the iX platform without reaching full M Performance territory.
Combined output from two motors is approximately 308kW, with 0-100 km/h in approximately 6.1 seconds. The M Sport suspension tune uses stiffer springs and revised damper calibration compared to the standard iX — the car stays flatter through corners and feels more connected to the road surface under load.
Key Specification
Battery: 76.6kWh (estimated; confirms at time of reading). Drive: AWD. Output: 308kW. 0-100: ~6.1s. Price: approximately $139,900.
Interior includes M leather, M Sport steering wheel, and M-specific ambient lighting. All iX interior quality standards apply.
Verdict
The iX xDrive45 M Sport is the dynamic option in the iX range — the car for buyers who want the large premium EV experience with a chassis that responds appropriately to driver inputs. The M Sport package is not a full M Performance transformation but it is a meaningful upgrade over the base iX character.
