The new BMW IX3 is initially offered in the 50 XDRIVE design. We believe that it is half the point between a basic model and unpublished hot M derivatives. Although more expensive versions will follow, you can already exceed € 90,000 in the German configurator, with each option to be checked. And that’s not the ceiling. As soon as individual paints and M parts are added, collapsing into six figures is possible.
Before it connects the color palette on the color palette in mid-2026, the IX3 is displayed here in a standard shade, but is dressed with M accessories. Space silver is not particularly striking, although the additional rear wing gives some flair. The aero piece assembled above the factory spoiler wears M Performance branding and is delivered to gloss black to meet other add-ons, such as:
Equipped from the factory with the M Sport Package Pro, this IX3 50 XDrive is equipped even more details, including the side mirror caps. The 22-inch mats black 1054 m wheels are the largest set for the SUV, with a two-colored finish also available. Alternatively, customers can select another aerodynamic wheel design (1053), this time with individual branding instead of an M logo. A matt black side sticker and an M -Performance -windshield stickers complete the exterior changes.
The M touch continues with the optional M Sport seats with a price of € 1,500 in Germany. They offer a 10-way electro adaptation, a seven-stage massage function, adjustable thigh support and an illuminated M logo. Although they do not offer full bucket seats, thanks to a significantly more increase, they offer stronger lateral support than the standard chairs. The seats also integrate the travel resort system so that mobile devices and accessories can be installed in the backrest.
In Germany, the M -Stlenkrad is standard for IX3 models that were ordered with the M Sport package Pro. However, buyers can select a sports bike with 12 and 6 o’clock spokes without additional costs. M-Branded Side Sills further emphasize that this is not a fundamental configuration. Nevertheless, the term “m -performance parts” is an offense, since none of the upgrades actually improve performance.
For a really reinforced IX3 we have to wait for BMW to start an M60 variant with over 600 hp. A full -fledged X3 m (with the code name “ZA5”) is expected to arrive at the end of 2027.
