Used heater matrixs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
No — the BMW iX1 is a fully electric vehicle, and electric cars do not use a traditional heater matrix. Because there is no internal combustion engine producing waste heat, the cabin is warmed by an electric heat pump or PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heater element instead. If your heating system is faulty, the part you are looking for is likely related to the heat pump assembly or its associated components, not a heater matrix.
Depending on your fault, the relevant parts on the iX1 are more likely to be the heat pump compressor, the refrigerant circuit components, or the PTC auxiliary heater unit. A breaker who has dismantled an iX1 should be able to advise which specific component matches your symptom. Confirm the exact part needed against your registration before ordering, as the iX1 electric heating system is more complex than a conventional coolant-fed heater matrix setup.
No — the BMW iX1 and the combustion-engined BMW X1 share a platform but the iX1 has a fundamentally different thermal management system with no heater matrix at all. A heater matrix from any petrol or diesel X1 would have no application in an iX1 because the iX1 does not have the coolant circuit that feeds a heater matrix. You would need to identify the correct electric heating component specific to the iX1 before searching for a used part.
It is very unlikely to be correct, as the iX1 is fully electric and does not use a heater matrix. It is worth going back to whoever quoted you and confirming they have looked up the part against your specific registration rather than a related X1 model. Asking a specialist iX1 breaker to identify the faulty heating component from your symptoms or fault codes is the best way to make sure you are searching for the right part.
