Overview
- The U.S. configurator, which went live Wednesday, is taking $1,000 reservations with deliveries planned for late September.
- BMW lists an EPA estimate of up to 434 miles with no‑cost 20‑inch summer tires, while the standard 20‑inch all‑seasons are rated at 383 miles and 21‑ or 22‑inch setups post lower figures.
- The iX3 uses BMW’s new 800‑volt platform rated for up to 400 kW DC fast charging that can add about 185 miles in 10 minutes, and U.S. models include a native NACS port and bidirectional power capability.
- Pricing starts at $61,500 plus $1,350 destination, undercutting the gas X3 M50, and options and packages can push a fully equipped build into the high‑$80,000 range.
- As BMW rolls out its Neue Klasse tech and cites strong early demand in Europe, the iX3 enters a crowded field where it will be compared with Tesla’s Model Y, Rivian’s R2 and Mercedes’ upcoming GLC EV.
