The Extraordinary BMW iX xDrive40 Sport for €890/Month with No Down Payment!

BMW’s flagship electric SUV, priced at €84,200, is available until December 31, 2023, through an unbeatable long-term rental deal.

Electric BMWs are expensive to buy… and not in long-term leasing. In a way, that’s fortunate when you think about it: electric technology is evolving so quickly that purchasing makes little sense. Not to mention the lack of long-term reliability data and inherent repair costs.

For the past few days, BMW has launched an ultra- aggressive sales campaign across its entire electric lineup:

– iX1 xLine Pack Premium at €490/month

– iX3 Inspiring trim at €590/month

– i4 M Sport trim at €590/month

– iX xDrive 40 Pack Sport at €890/month (the one we’re interested in here)

– and i5 M Sport trim at €890/month

All these offers require no down payment and include, for free, access for a year to the BMW Charging program (then €4.99/month subscription), as well as unlimited charging on the entire Ionity network of which BMW is a member. A real bargain, because compared to an internal combustion car, the savings will be enormous!

Let’s go back to the iX. Its striking appearance conceals BMW’s best electric technology. In this xDrive 40 configuration, the German SUV delivers 326 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque to all four wheels. Enough to accelerate to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and reach (though it’s illegal in France) 200 km/h.

Its 76.6 kWh battery provides an official mixed range of 435 km, but you should expect around 350 km in real conditions, or 300 km on the highway. It’s worth noting that the vehicle weighs 2440 kg. Again, not buying such a vehicle spares you the eco-tax associated with its weight, electric or not. With recharge capability up to 150 kW, the German SUV can regain up to 250 km of range in just 30 minutes during long trips.

The equipment level is simply dreamlike, especially with the Sport Pack: metallic paint, 21-inch wheels, leather interior, heated seats, LED headlights, air conditioning, navigation, heat pump, parking sensors, etc.

Let’s talk money: 36 months but with a limited mileage of 30,000 km (which is low), resulting in a final price of €32,040 including VAT. It would be even better if you could recover the VAT, making it truly exceptional… But assuming you are a private individual: spending 38% of the face value of such an expensive car is a great opportunity, especially when it’s an electric vehicle (introduction). The depreciation on new cars is so severe that buying new makes no sense.

If you compare it to an equivalent internal combustion vehicle of similar size, with a realistic consumption of 15 liters / 100 km (at €1.80 per liter), then the savings from free charging for a year (10,000 km) will amount to €2,700 or €225 per month.

Maybe it’s time to indulge a little?
