So I am use to ICE cars and my X5 45e which still requires yearly service I was wonder what does and yearly service on a IX50 look like and cost. Anyone had one yet?

I'm guessing brakes, coolant/battery/tire check is about it.

Cabin air filter too, I guess.

Also add in tire care: rotation, balancing, and of course replacement

Isn't the iX supposed to include 3 years of service?

From 2017 on, 3 years or 36,000 miles for every BMW. Not sure what's applicable to an EV, but common would be brake fluid, micro filters, vehicle check, and remote key battery. A long list of exclusions:

Vehicle safety inspection and emissions test

Oxygen Sensor replacement(s)

Maintenance service tasks performed on a vehicle with an ineligible/inactive/expired maintenance program

Repairs covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks

Covered maintenance services performed by service facilities other than an authorized BMW center in the United States or Puerto Rico

Engine oil services and other covered maintenance services including those combined with engine oil services that are performed before they qualify or that are performed more frequently than indicated

Gasoline and diesel fuelGasoline and diesel fuel additives

Gasoline engine fuel filter/diesel glow plugs

Diesel particulate filterDMTL and NVLD system filters

Topping off low fluids (e.g., engine oil, coolant system antifreeze, washer fluid) except when done in conjunction with a covered scheduled maintenance service as outlined in the customized maintenance checklist printout

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) top-ups except when done in conjunction with a covered scheduled maintenance as outlined in the customized maintenance checklist printout

Tires and wheels/rimsWheel alignment, tire balancing and rotation

Parking brake shoes/linings

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) reset except when done in conjunction with a covered scheduled maintenance service as outlined in the customized maintenance checklist printout

Wear and tear of soft trim items such as: seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels and all chrome trim

Damage, including consequential, which results from negligence, improper operation of the vehicle, wear and tear or deterioration due to driving habits or conditions, improper repair, environmental influences, flood, accident or fire damage, road salt corrosion, alteration, installation of non-genuine BMW accessories, or use of improper, poor quality or contaminated fuel

Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehicles where the true mileage cannot be determined

There's also a service check, I believe every 2 or 3 years to check the front ball joints. This is new for BMW electric vehicles starting with the iX and i4 vehicles.

If it's anything like my i3:

1. BMW sends you a postcard in the mail and an e-mail reminding you to come in for yearly service. The postcard and e-mail are all filled with coupons for oil changes
2. Once the car is in for service, they will replace the windshield wipers, air cabin filters, and update the car software (no OTA in i3, so probably moot with iX).
3. They'll note if the tires need replacement but will not replace tires for free under warranty.
4. They wash and charge the car.

I imagine brakes would be included if they were worn but with B-mode driving, we still haven't replaced our brakes after seven years and almost 50k miles.

Also don't recall brake and/or transmission fluid being replaced ever in the car's lifetime, either under warranty or not.

For the optional pre-paid service for years 4++ I was quoted around $1900 CAD per year. All the wiper blades you want for the low price of $1900/yr sounds like a deal to me!
