The 2027 BMW iX3 debuts the brand's Neue Klasse design language, which sets the stage for the next-generation 3-series and future BMW models. Starting at $62,850, the iX3 50 xDrive is now available to configure on BMW's consumer site. While every version currently comes with a 463-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, the electric luxury SUV has numerous personalization options.
Four Car and Driver editors were tasked with building their ideal version of the iX3. The base Sport trim is the preferred choice, as the M Sport is cosmetic rather than performance-oriented. The Sport fascia is considered a cleaner look compared to the big gloss black-outs on the M Sport.
For color, Malachite Dark Green Metallic is an elegant and menacing choice, although it comes with a $4500 upcharge. Alternatively, Eucalyptus is a lighter option for $650. The 22-inch aero multispokes are a stylish choice for $1350. Inside, the Agave Green leather-free interior is a unique option that harkens back to the 1960s. The comfort package is a worthwhile add-on for $1500, and the parking assist with a 360-degree camera is a useful feature for $750.
Another editor opted for the base Sport model and allocated funds towards a unique paint job, choosing Voodoo Blue for $4500. The 22-inch Individual Aero Multi-Spoke 1053i wheels are a preferred choice for $1350. The all-black interior theme is timeless, and deleting the trunk badges is a nice touch for no extra cost. The final price for this configuration is just over $70,000.
