Reservations are open and the configurator is live — here's what DMV buyers need to know.

As of May 6, 2026, BMW has officially opened reservations AND launched the configurator for the all-new 2027 iX3 in the United States. A $1,000 refundable deposit secures your production slot, and BMW is prioritizing orders by timestamp. Deliveries are expected to begin in late September or early October 2026.

Confirmed Pricing — Three Trim Levels

  • iX3 Sport: $61,500 + $1,350 destination = $62,850 to start
  • iX3 M Sport: +$2,500 — M wheels, improved aero, sportier steering wheel
  • iX3 M Sport Professional: +$4,000 — M Sport brakes with red calipers, Iconic Glow exterior lighting, aerodynamic kit, black mirror caps
  • Fully loaded (all options): $88,875

Performance Specs — Confirmed

  • Range: Up to 434 miles — but varies by wheel/tire combo:
    • 20" summer tires (no-cost option): 434 miles
    • 20" all-season tires (standard): 393 miles
    • 21" summer tires: 398 miles
    • 21" all-season tires: 399 miles
    • 22" summer tires: 392 miles
  • Power: 463 horsepower / 476 lb-ft of torque
  • 0-60 mph: 4.7 seconds
  • Battery: 108.7 kWh on 800-volt architecture
  • DC Fast Charging: Up to 400 kW — adds 175 miles in 10 minutes, 10–80% in 21 minutes
  • Charging port: NACS standard — charges at Tesla Supercharger network ✅
  • Towing: Up to 4,400 lbs when properly equipped

Notable Options Worth Knowing

  • Comfort Package ($1,500): Panoramic glass roof, heated steering wheel, multi-function seats
  • Technology Package ($1,200): Iconic Glow exterior lighting, 3D head-up display, Harman Kardon 365W audio
  • Parking Assistance Package ($750): Includes self-parking (parallel and perpendicular) at the touch of a button
  • Driving Assistance Professional Package ($2,500): Advanced driver assistance suite
  • Trailer hitch ($750): Enables 4,400 lb towing capacity
  • BMW Ultimate Care+ ($1,100+): Extended maintenance coverage including brake pads

Colors & Wheels

Alpine White is the only no-cost paint color. Seven of eight metallic options are $650. The premium Frozen Space Silver Individual matte finish commands $3,600. Wheel options range from 20" to 22" across twelve designs — note that larger wheels reduce maximum range below the 434-mile figure.

BMW iX3 vs Tesla Model Y vs Mercedes GLC Electric

At $62,850 with destination, the iX3 sits above the Tesla Model Y base (under $40,000) but reaches Model Y Performance territory ($57,490) on power — 463 HP vs ~450 HP. The expected Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric is projected near $60,000 with 483 HP. BMW's advantage is the Neue Klasse platform, the NACS charging compatibility, and what BMW calls the Heart of Joy driving dynamics system. Note: the headline 434-mile range requires the no-cost 20" summer tire option — standard 20" all-season tires deliver 393 miles, still among the best in class.

Bonus: 20% Off Charging Through September 2026

BMW just announced that iX3 owners — and all current BMW EV owners — get 20% off charging sessions at IONNA stations across the US, automatically applied through Plug & Charge or the My BMW App. No enrollment required. IONNA has over 1,000 charging bays nationwide supporting both NACS and CCS, and select stations offer up to 400 kW charging — meaning your iX3's 10-80% charge in 21 minutes becomes an even more realistic road trip tool. The discount runs through September 30, 2026.
