With this update the BMW Dingolfing facility now produces four electric models from the BMW lineup including the i7 and i5 along with their estate variants. Other German plants handling EV production include Munich, which currently manufactures the i4 and will introduce an electric 3 Series sedan, and Regensburg, which builds the iX1 and iX2.

The facelifted iX retains its 400V architecture but features revised powertrains and battery configurations. The base iX xDrive40 has been rebranded as the iX xDrive45, with power increased by 60 kW to 300 kW, as a result its 0 to 100 kmph acceleration time has reduced from 6.1 to 5.1 seconds. The iX xDrive60, previously known as the iX xDrive50, now delivers 400 kW, achieving 0 to 100 kmph in 4.6 seconds. Both versions have a top speed of 200 kmph.
