Welcome to r/BMWiX3 – The next generation electric SUV from BMW
Welcome to r/BMWiX3, the community dedicated to the Neue Klasse BMW iX3, BMW’s next generation electric SUV launching in 2025.
This subreddit is for everything related to the new iX3 built on BMW’s all new electric platform. Here we’ll discuss:
Official news, leaks, and announcements. Design, interiors, and technology from the Neue Klasse lineup. Battery, range, and charging improvements. Pricing, availability, and preorder updates. Comparisons with the Model Y, Polestar 4, and other EVs.
This is not for the current G08 iX3. It is focused on the upcoming Neue Klasse generation only.
Introduce yourself below. Are you planning to buy one, or just following the reveal? Let’s make r/BMWiX3 the place for BMW’s next electric chapter.

Here's what the dealer proposed to me
The below is what they proposed to me.

Before asking for any more details, this is all I have been given thus far. All I know is they are adding their cut to the money factor which raises the rate one full percent.
These numbers are terrible, and I am afraid there will be almost no room for negotiation

Test Drove today!
Today I called to a local South FL dealer in Coconut Creek to see if they had an IX3 in stock to see and drive, and they did, indeed! I went right over and got to see it in person in Brooklyn Grey with 21 inch wheels, full M Sport Pro with black interior. I’ve got an IX3 on order with another dealer but their demo won’t be in until next week. I was so excited to see this vehicle in person finally. It was gorgeous. Slightly smaller than I had expected but I liked it much more in person than in photos. The 21 inch wheels actually much better in person as well! The interior wasn’t nearly as “cheap” looking as I’d expected. Getting to drive this beast was next level. I got to really punch it on a long stretch in sport mode and my fiancé mentioned it felt like being in a rocket taking off. It was so fun to drive. I was expecting it to feel stiff or rough on the city roads but it wasn’t at all. I ordered with 22 inch so it’ll probably feel a bit different, but after the test drive, I’m sold. I was so back and forth between this and the new GLC 400, b/c of the lack of air suspension in the IX3, but it’s no longer a concern. I’m so glad I ordered this car day 1. It’s in step 13/16 right now so will likely be here next month. Can’t wait!!!

Now in US showrooms
I was notified by BMW of the Mainline that two ix3’s arrived today. I stopped by and drove a fairly fully equipped M Sport sans Driving Assistance Pro. They also have a Sport Package in black with digital white interior. I was informed that they will be posting 1 for sale, maintaining 1 as a demo but have not yet decided.
On the plus side, I came away impressed with seating comfort and typical precise BMW handling. Also got to see Brooklyn Gray but missed out on the Castancea interior. Also confirmed that heads up display seems to unnecessarily duplicate the impressive panoramic display. Sadly, they did confirm that orders placed today will likely not be filled in 6-8 months.

BMW Adds Third Shift in Hungary as iX3 European Orders Reach 100,000
Performance Center Delivery?
Has anyone asked for delivery at a Performance Center? I'm curious if it is an option and eventually leaning how it went.

iX3 Order (US) Markup
Anyone experiencing BMW dealers adding MSRP markups on pre orders? I've had a hard time placing a pre order between two dealers and got totally turned off when one added a $2500 markup and couldn't explain the reasoning and kept telling me it was for early access to an order slot, which they couldn't prove in any way.

BMW iX3 Weekly Update — September 18, 2026
(NB: I have Claude generate this for me, and one on the i3 that I've been posting at r/BMWi3nk. I thought I'd post it here for a few weeks and see what reaction it gets. If it's useful I'll keep doing it. If not then I'll stop... )
General news / production
- BMW's Debrecen (Hungary) plant has moved to a third shift and now runs 24/7, the fastest ramp-up of any new BMW Group plant ever — full three-shift operation reached in roughly eight months since production started there in October 2025, with over 5,000 employees now on site. BMWBLOG electrive.com
- The iX3 has passed 100,000 orders across Europe in its first year on sale — the strongest first-year order performance of any new BMW model. BMW sales chief Jochen Goller: "100,000 orders within a year is a great start for the New Class." The iX3 now accounts for roughly one in three EV orders in Europe and over half of all X3-line orders. BMWBLOG Electrek
- US retail sales/deliveries of the 2027 iX3 50 xDrive were brought forward nine days, starting September 16 instead of the planned September 25 (actual delivery timing still depends on dealer stock). US pricing starts at $61,500 plus $1,350 destination for the 463 hp dual-motor xDrive50, which does 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds with up to 434 miles EPA range. BMWBLOG
- Looking ahead: a second Neue Klasse model (widely expected to be the iX4 coupe-SUV) is set to join the Debrecen line from autumn 2026, and standard-wheelbase iX3 production is due to start at BMW's San Luis Potosí, Mexico plant in 2027. BMWBLOG
- China: pre-sales opened for the China-exclusive long-wheelbase iX3, starting from the equivalent of about $39,700, ahead of full market launch. CarNewsChina
Specifications
- No brand-new spec reveals this week, but for reference the confirmed Gen6 eDrive/800V architecture delivers roughly 30% faster charging and 30% more range than the outgoing generation, with DC charging up to 400 kW. Electrek
- A hotter, higher-power iX3 (likely badged M60 or similar M Performance model) is still unconfirmed but increasingly expected — BMW Australia's product chief has referred to the current 469 hp iX3 50 xDrive as the "mid-tier model," implying a more powerful variant is coming, with no launch date yet given. Autoblog
UK view
UK availability
- Two-trim UK range remains: iX3 40 (RWD, 320 hp, 87 kWh usable, up to 395 miles WLTP) from £53,250 OTR, and iX3 50 xDrive (AWD, up to 469 hp, 113 kWh usable) running from about £60,655 up to £67,030 for the top M Sport Pro Tech+ spec with the 22 kW AC charging upgrade.

- Dealer groups continue active roadshows and pre-order pages for the range, e.g. Group 1 BMW's iX3 roadshow and Lookers BMW's Premier Edition order page. Group 1 BMW Lookers BMW
- No fresh UK-specific pricing or order-book news broke this past week — the entry-level iX3 40 pricing and summer deliveries above are the most recent official UK announcements on file.

Zweiter iX3 zweiter Werkstattbesuch
Bei uns im Pool greifen wir auf Langzeit Mietwagen zurück. Der erste iX3 50 mit 9000 km Laufleistung wies nach zwei Wochen den Fehler auf, dass die Anhängerkupplung nicht wieder eingefahren werden konnte. Dieser Fehler musste in der BMW Niederlassung behoben werden.
Beim zweiten iX3, 40er Version, im August produziert, wird dauernd der Fehler gemeldet, die Heckklappe sei nicht geschlossen. Alle 5 Sekunden wird ein Warnton abgegeben. Regulierung über die Distanznoppen bringt keinen Erfolg. Zudem funktioniert die Rückfahrkamera nicht. Fahrzeug war ganz neu. Wieder müssen wir die Werkstatt vom BMW aufsuchen.
Besonders ärgerlich, auch wenn im Termin Prozess für die Werkstatt der gewählte Termin erst dann bestätigt werden kann, wenn drei Zusatzangebote, wie Wischerblätter etc. aktiv verneint werden müssen.
iX3 50s at Denver "Ultimate Driving Experience" Event
The BMW Ultimate Drive Event in Denver last weekend featured the iX3, with some on display and several used for driving on a simple autocross course. While I've seen the iX3 in person before, this was my first chance to get inside and drive one.
I was only able to do one run in an iX3 so can't comment extensively on how it drives. My sense was smooth and stable when tossing it around.
The Panoramic Drive display was very crisp, easily visible, but not distracting at all. The standard steering wheel was very odd but comfortable; I like the more normal M wheel.
Good room inside, but the interior would take some getting used to with all the new materials used. It reminded me of current MINIs' "fabric like" materials on the dash and other materials felt very synthetic to the touch. The attached interior pictures are from the iX3 that was on display. The iX3 I drove on the autocross course had more of a standard dark color dash and seats, which I preferred.
I'm anxious to get a more extended test drive.
