BMW can’t build the new iX3 fast enough, with over 100,000 orders and production now running around the clock. Some in the US may get a chance to get theirs early.
2027 BMW iX3 deliveries begin in the US
If you haven’t heard the hype yet, BMW’s new electric SUV is off to a pretty good start. The iX3 has received over 100,000 orders, and the company is now working overtime to meet the demand.
BMW recently added a third shift at its new manufacturing plant in Debrecen, Hungary, just months after it introduced a second shift as it ramps up production.
After the 50,000th iX3 rolled off the assembly line at the end of July, nine months after series production began, BMW said the facility had the fastest ramp-up of any new plant in company history.
While deliveries began in Europe in March, BMW said those in the US would begin seeing the new iX3 arrive in late September.
The initial date was set for September 25, 2026, but apparently, BMW began deliveries early. A user on Bimmerpost shared an update from a dealer in California.
The user claimed that on Tuesday, BMW North America informed dealers of an “Accelerated BMW iX3 Retail Launch and Deliveries Begin Tomorrow” on September 16, 2026. According to the post, deliveries began early because of “strong customer demand,” as reported in other markets.
Last night, Electrek spotted the new 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive on a car carrier in Brunswick, Georgia.
In the US, the 2027 BMW iX3 50 xDrive is available to order, starting at $61,500 with an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 434 miles.
With a DC charging capacity of up to 400 kW, the iX3 can add 231 miles (373 km) of range in as little as 10 minutes.
Inside, the electric SUV features BMW’s Neue Klasse interior design. The setup includes the new BMW Panoramic iDrive system with a 17.9″ central infotainment screen and a massive 43″ Panoramic Vision display that stretches across the entire base of the windshield.
The new BMW iX3 secured 100,000 orders in Europe, accounting for one in every three EV orders, a year after it went on sale.
