The All-New BMW iX3 Arrives in the U.S.: Pricing, Specs, and Production Details

 BMW has officially debuted its all-electric iX3 in the United States at a special event in New York City. The electric SUV is the first series-production model to be built on the company's new Neue Klasse platform. While the iX3 was unveiled ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show to ensure it received a dedicated spotlight, its arrival in North America won't be immediate, with deliveries for the 2027 model year beginning next summer.


Design and Configuration

The U.S.-spec iX3 showcased at the event was a Black Sapphire model, equipped with the optional M Sport Package. While it featured the standard 20-inch alloy wheels, customers will have the option to choose from a variety of 21- and 22-inch wheel designs. The interior was presented in a darker color scheme, a departure from the lighter cabins seen in many previous prototypes. The vehicle also featured the new, more conventional M steering wheel, which replaces the unique spoke design of earlier models.

Pricing and Performance

BMW has provided preliminary pricing and range estimates for the U.S. market. The initial launch model, the iX3 50 xDrive, will start at under $60,000 and is expected to offer a range of up to 400 miles (based on preliminary EPA test cycles). A more accessible iX3 40 xDrive variant will follow in early 2027, with a starting price under $55,000 and an estimated range of over 300 miles. A more affordable, single-motor, rear-wheel-drive 40 sDrive is also likely to join the lineup at a later date.

Global Production Strategy

The new iX3 will be manufactured at BMW's new factory in Debrecen, Hungary, with all North American models being sourced from this location. While production of the iX3 is also slated to begin in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, in 2027, vehicles for the U.S. market will continue to be supplied by the Hungarian plant. Additionally, a long-wheelbase iX3 ("NA6") will be produced in China for exclusive sale in the local market.

Facelift For Bavarian Police Force BMW Vehicles

For the better part of 20 years, Bavarian police cars were manufactured with silver BMW 3 series vehicles. Prior to the silver color scheme, these vehicles sported a white base coat. Recently, the Bavarian government has decided to revamp their BMW police vehicles in terms of a color scheme. The new color scheme draws inspiration from the nostalgic white base coat used prior to 2003.  Modeled after their previously utilized retro white, blue, and yellow color scheme, new Bavarian BMW police vehicles have gone back to their roots by shedding the apparently outdated silver and green paint job. All new Bavarian police vehicle will be manufactured from BMW 3 Series Touring models with the new color scheme. This shift comes primarily from BMW's discontinuation of the Glacier Silver base color for the 3 series, but a higher resale value for white vehicles might also be a variable.  In contrast to the prior white Bavarian police BMWs, the new vehicles will be manufactured with a Mine...

2022 BMW X5 M Render Revealed

Based on recent spy photos of the new 2022 BMW X5 M model, a concept artist has rendered a very realistic, and potentially accurate, rendition of the vehicle changes. Although the exterior changes are minor compared to the 2021 model, the rendering shows updated headlights, a redesigned lower front end, and an added lip on the competition model.  In comparison, the majority of changes are reserved for the interior of the vehicle, and these updates include larger screens and a seamless curvature inspired design.
