BMW Lifts iX3 50 xDrive Base Price to €70,900 as Demand Outpaces 2026 Supply

Strong pre‑launch orders have allocated most 2026 European builds, giving BMW room to raise the list price before the full rollout.

Overview

  • BMW’s configurator now lists the iX3 50 xDrive from €70,900, a €2,000 increase over the price announced at IAA, with no public explanation from the company.
  • Early buyers keep the €68,900 price only if they leave their configuration untouched, otherwise the new list price applies.
  • A new €740 “AC‑Laden Professional” option enables 22 kW AC charging and activates Vehicle‑to‑Load to power external devices up to 3.7 kW.
  • BMW has begun handing over initial iX3 units to customers and has announced early model‑care tweaks ahead of the regular market launch.
  • European production runs in Debrecen with added shifts to ramp output, U.S. sales are slated to begin in mid‑2026, Mexican production is planned for mid‑2027, and a long‑wheelbase version for China will be built in Shenyang.
