New or certified pre-owned BMW iX in Arlington: which fits you?
Buy a new BMW iX from BMW of Arlington if you want to specify it yourself. Buy a certified pre-owned iX if you want the lower purchase price a first owner’s depreciation usually leaves, with the BMW Certified Pre-Owned program behind it.
The choice comes down to three things: the price you pay, the warranty that stands behind the car, and how much of the trim you get to pick. BMW of Arlington sells new iX models at 1105 E Lamar Blvd, Arlington, TX 76011.

Buy a new BMW iX to choose the trim, certified pre-owned to pay less
A new 2026 iX is the way to choose your trim. The xDrive45 lists at $76,325 MSRP, the xDrive60 at $89,675 and the M70 at $112,675 (Kelley Blue Book, 2026). A certified pre-owned iX is the way to pay less, because luxury EVs can depreciate quickly, so buying used can save a substantial amount.
The trim you pick decides what the car does on the road. The xDrive45 carries the lowest of those three prices and the M70 the highest, so the trim is the first decision to make. If the trim you need is already on the market as a certified pre-owned car, the lower price is the practical route. If it is not, the new route is the one that gets you that exact car.
What does a new BMW iX cost next to a certified pre-owned one?
A new iX is priced at MSRP for its trim, and the first owner absorbs much of a luxury EV’s depreciation. A certified pre-owned iX is bought after that drop, which is where the saving comes from.
Texas taxes both routes the same way. The state’s motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance, and it applies to new and used vehicles bought from a licensed dealer (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).
Say, hypothetically, you buy a $60,000 pre-owned iX and trade in a vehicle for $15,000. The tax applies to the $45,000 that remains, so the sales tax is $2,812.50. Every figure in this example is hypothetical.
What warranty comes with a new BMW iX and a certified pre-owned one?
A 2026 iX carries BMW’s 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle/SAV Limited Warranty. Its high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, and that coverage includes capacity loss below 70% State of Health, with BMW restoring capacity to at least 70% (BMW USA, 2025).
A BMW Certified iX must be 5 years old or newer, with more than 300 miles but less than 60,000 miles on the odometer. Every BMW Certified vehicle then carries the BMW Certified Pre-Owned Limited Protection Plan, which provides coverage for one year with unlimited miles after the original warranty expires (BMW of North America, 2026).
BMW says each Certified vehicle gets a detailed 360° inspection, completed and approved by BMW Trained Technicians (BMW USA).
What do you get with a new iX and a certified pre-owned iX?
The EPA certifies the 20-inch xDrive60 at 364 miles of electric range and the 20-inch xDrive45 at 312 miles. The M70 with 21-inch wheels is certified at 303 miles. Those figures come with the trim, so the wheel size you choose changes the range you get.
A certified pre-owned iX has to come from a recent model year and pass an inspection against a Certified checklist, done by a BMW-certified technician.
Can you custom order a new BMW iX at BMW of Arlington?
Yes. Shoppers can place a custom factory order at BMW of Arlington, so you specify the new iX yourself instead of taking whichever car is on the lot.
The three trims differ in power. According to BMW’s published 2026 specifications, the xDrive45 makes 402 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, the xDrive60 makes 536 horsepower and 564 lb-ft, and the M70 makes 650 horsepower and 749 lb-ft. All three ride on a 118.1-inch wheelbase.
How do trade-in and financing work when you buy an iX in Arlington?
Trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment. We offer BMW leases, new BMW financing and pre-owned car loans, so you can pay for an iX in the way that fits your budget.
Because Texas taxes the price after the trade-in allowance, your trade-in value also lowers the sales tax you pay. Pre-owned car loans fit a certified pre-owned iX, and BMW leases and new BMW financing fit a new one.
When is a new BMW iX the wrong choice, and when is a certified pre-owned one?
Neither a new nor a used iX qualifies for the federal clean vehicle credit now, because the federal rules bar the credit for any vehicle acquired after September 30, 2025 (U.S. House Office of the Law Revision Counsel, 2025; Internal Revenue Service, 2025). That leaves price, trim and warranty as the real choice.
A new iX is the wrong choice when a lower price matters more than the trim and the specification. A certified pre-owned iX is the wrong choice when the trim you want is not among the used cars available. In that case, the custom factory order gives you the new route to the exact car.
FAQ
What should I check before buying any certified pre-owned electric SUV?
Confirm the vehicle is still available, that it is certified, and what dealer fees add to the final out-the-door price, because an advertised price alone does not show the total you pay. At BMW of Arlington, a certified pre-owned BMW must come from a recent model year and pass an inspection against a Certified checklist, done by a BMW-certified technician. Ask whether the car carries that certification before you agree to a price.
