BMW has pulled the wraps off the 2026 iX3, the first production model built on its all-new Neue Klasse platform. This next-gen SUV represents more than just another electric option in BMW’s lineup, as it sets the tone for design, software, and powertrain strategy across the Bavarian brand for the next decade. With a starting price of about $60,000, an estimated range of 400 miles, and 800-volt charging architecture that peaks at 400 kW, this latest iX3 is BMW’s clearest attempt yet to prove an EV can still carry the badge’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” promise.
The German brand ofcourse is no stranger to full electrification, which began over a decade ago with the i3 hatchback and i8 coupe. They were early experiments in electrification, each memorable but limited in scope. The more recent iX SUV showed that BMW could deliver a tech-forward EV in a premium package. The first iX3 meanwhile, launched in 2020, and was essentially a converted X3 sold mainly in Europe and China. This new iX3 is different as it is purpose-built as an EV from the ground up and introduces a design language BMW intends to roll out across nearly 40 models by 2027.

Speaking of design, it is a clear departure from the more traditional gas-powered variants and much of what we saw on the camouflaged Neue Klasse pre-production prototypes has carried through. Despite being an EV, a prominent kidney grille is present, albeit one that is a lot slimmer now. Aerodynamics are impressive, with a drag coefficient of 0.24. The iX3 is also designed to be more sustainable, with BMW claiming a 30 percent lower carbon footprint over its lifecycle compared with its earlier EVs.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=GnsghaXyaTE%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fnews.dupontregistry.com
Performance figures place the iX3 in the heart of the niche midsize EV SUV segment. Two motors, a 322-horsepower synchronous unit at the rear and a 165-horsepower induction unit upfront, will offer a combined 463 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. BMW estimates a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. In typical BMW fasion, the rear motor does most of the work for that synonymous RWD feel, with the front only stepping in for added traction. BMW says energy losses are down 40 percent compared to its Gen5 motors. Weight has been cut 10 percent, and manufacturing costs have dropped 20 percent, savings that translate directly into usable range.
Charging capability is where the iX3 stakes its biggest claim. On a compatible DC fast charger, you can now add about 230 miles of range in just 10 minutes or move from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes. At home, the optional BMW Wallbox Professional supports up to 19.2 kW. Every model also includes bi-directional functionality, so the SUV can power a campsite, feed solar energy back into a home system, or interact with the grid. The charging port is NACS standard with a CCS adapter included, giving you access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network as well as existing infrastructure across the U.S.
Practicality also gets attention. The iX3 measures 188.3 inches long and rides on a 114.1-inch wheelbase. Cargo space is 30.4 cubic feet with the seats up and 65 cubic feet folded, along with a small two-cubic-foot frunk for cables or essentials. Towing capacity is rated at 4,400 pounds. Weight distribution is nearly even front to rear, and the battery’s low placement should help with handling and ride quality.
Inside, the cabin now features BMW’s all-new Panoramic iDrive, which combines a 17.9-inch central display with a projection across the lower windshield called Panoramic Vision. Physical controls, thankfully, remain for critical functions like wipers and hazard lights, which is a welcome departure from screen-heavy rivals. BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant now learns routines and can automate frequent tasks, such as activating seat and wheel heaters on cold mornings. Interior materials include standard Veganza upholstery or optional Merino leather, and a Harman Kardon 13-speaker system is on the options list.

BMW also highlights features that point to a deeper shift in its vehicles. A new electronics backbone powered by four high-performance computers, referred to as “superbrains,” governs dynamics, infotainment, and driver assistance. One of them, called the Heart of Joy, processes inputs ten times faster than existing ECUs, while another oversees automated driving functions with twenty times the computing power. This architecture enables what BMW is calling symbiotic driver assistance, allowing light steering or braking inputs without disengaging lane-keeping or cruise control. Charging is equally advanced, with support for Plug & Charge contracts across multiple providers and an AI-controlled charging flap that opens automatically when you approach.
Production will begin in Debrecen, Hungary in early 2026, with U.S. deliveries scheduled for mid-year. The first model available will be the dual-motor xDrive, with a rear-drive variant to follow. If you’re in the market for a mid-size all-electric SUV, the iX3’s 400 mile range, fast-charging ability, and price point make it competitive with Tesla’s Model Y Performance, which offers 277 miles of range and slower 250 kW charging, and Mercedes’ EQE SUV 350, which costs around $79,000 and delivers about 270 miles with a 170 kW peak. BMW’s real challenge will be convincing shoppers that the iX3’s blend of range, charging speed, and technology now delivers a more complete experience than its rivals.
2026 BMW M850i Edition M Heritage Revives Iconic ’90s Colors in 500-Unit Limited Run Special
in BMW News
BMW is celebrating the 8 Series Gran Coupe (G16) at Pebble Beach with a very special edition after a production run that began in 2019, first revealed in 2019. This is the 2026 BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe Edition M Heritage, making its debut at this year’s Monterey Car Week. It is a 500-unit send-off special, built specifically for the BMW faithful and those who care deeply about the Bavarian automaker’s history, and specific nuances like color codes.
If you remember the original E31 8 Series from the ‘90s, you will recognize the vibrant paint palette seen here right away. That’s right, each of these now iconic original hues: Bright Red, Mauritius Blue metallic, Cosmos Black metallic, Oxford Green metallic, and Daytona Violet metallic, colors that were offered on the E31 that debuted at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, are all back. But this time, they feature on the latest M850i xDrive Gran Coupe.

Beyond the visual bits, BMW isn’t skimping on hardware on this special edition either. Each one of these M Heritage cars will feature an M carbon fiber roof with exclusive M tri-color stripes, the M S with port Professional package, Style 895M bi-color Orbit Grey 20-inch dual-spoke alloys, and summer performance tires. Black-caliper M Sport brakes, Shadowline headlights, and extended Shadowline trim keep the look sharp but not flashy.
Inside, BMW Individual has gone to town. You get M Sport seats wrapped in Black Full Merino Leather and Alcantara with a diamond pattern, Alcantara on the headliner, dash, and upper door panels, and tri-color M stitching on the seats and belts. The M badges in the headrests are non-illuminated. A matte-finish carbon fiber console, glass shifter, and etched “M850i Edition M Heritage” script with “1/500” numbering on the sills and cupholder cover make sure you remember that what you’re looking at isn’t a regular M850i.
Spec-wise, there’s nothing to add here since every car comes fully loaded with the high-end Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround sound system and the Driving Assistance Professional Package. The performance numbers are unchanged from the standard M850i. The 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 still pushes 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic, good for 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds. Top speed sits at an electronically-limited 155 mph.
So, which of these five heritage paint shades would you consider? If you are indeed a fanboy, the best part is that you don’t need to pay extra for them either, since they’re already baked into the $130,400 base price. However, the real question is whether this will be the last time BMW channels the old 8 Series so directly. With just 500 examples slated for production, most will be spoken for long before the first one rolls off the line. Production starts in November 2025 with deliveries in early 2026.

BMW iX3 Launches the Neue Klasse Era With 400-Mile Range and 463 HP
in BMW News
BMW has pulled the wraps off the 2026 iX3, the first production model built on its all-new Neue Klasse platform. This next-gen SUV represents more than just another electric option in BMW’s lineup, as it sets the tone for design, software, and powertrain strategy across the Bavarian brand for the next decade. With a starting price of about $60,000, an estimated range of 400 miles, and 800-volt charging architecture that peaks at 400 kW, this latest iX3 is BMW’s clearest attempt yet to prove an EV can still carry the badge’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” promise.
The German brand ofcourse is no stranger to full electrification, which began over a decade ago with the i3 hatchback and i8 coupe. They were early experiments in electrification, each memorable but limited in scope. The more recent iX SUV showed that BMW could deliver a tech-forward EV in a premium package. The first iX3 meanwhile, launched in 2020, and was essentially a converted X3 sold mainly in Europe and China. This new iX3 is different as it is purpose-built as an EV from the ground up and introduces a design language BMW intends to roll out across nearly 40 models by 2027.

Speaking of design, it is a clear departure from the more traditional gas-powered variants and much of what we saw on the camouflaged Neue Klasse pre-production prototypes has carried through. Despite being an EV, a prominent kidney grille is present, albeit one that is a lot slimmer now. Aerodynamics are impressive, with a drag coefficient of 0.24. The iX3 is also designed to be more sustainable, with BMW claiming a 30 percent lower carbon footprint over its lifecycle compared with its earlier EVs.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=GnsghaXyaTE%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fnews.dupontregistry.com
Performance figures place the iX3 in the heart of the niche midsize EV SUV segment. Two motors, a 322-horsepower synchronous unit at the rear and a 165-horsepower induction unit upfront, will offer a combined 463 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. BMW estimates a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. In typical BMW fasion, the rear motor does most of the work for that synonymous RWD feel, with the front only stepping in for added traction. BMW says energy losses are down 40 percent compared to its Gen5 motors. Weight has been cut 10 percent, and manufacturing costs have dropped 20 percent, savings that translate directly into usable range.
Charging capability is where the iX3 stakes its biggest claim. On a compatible DC fast charger, you can now add about 230 miles of range in just 10 minutes or move from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes. At home, the optional BMW Wallbox Professional supports up to 19.2 kW. Every model also includes bi-directional functionality, so the SUV can power a campsite, feed solar energy back into a home system, or interact with the grid. The charging port is NACS standard with a CCS adapter included, giving you access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network as well as existing infrastructure across the U.S.
Practicality also gets attention. The iX3 measures 188.3 inches long and rides on a 114.1-inch wheelbase. Cargo space is 30.4 cubic feet with the seats up and 65 cubic feet folded, along with a small two-cubic-foot frunk for cables or essentials. Towing capacity is rated at 4,400 pounds. Weight distribution is nearly even front to rear, and the battery’s low placement should help with handling and ride quality.
Inside, the cabin now features BMW’s all-new Panoramic iDrive, which combines a 17.9-inch central display with a projection across the lower windshield called Panoramic Vision. Physical controls, thankfully, remain for critical functions like wipers and hazard lights, which is a welcome departure from screen-heavy rivals. BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant now learns routines and can automate frequent tasks, such as activating seat and wheel heaters on cold mornings. Interior materials include standard Veganza upholstery or optional Merino leather, and a Harman Kardon 13-speaker system is on the options list.
BMW also highlights features that point to a deeper shift in its vehicles. A new electronics backbone powered by four high-performance computers, referred to as “superbrains,” governs dynamics, infotainment, and driver assistance. One of them, called the Heart of Joy, processes inputs ten times faster than existing ECUs, while another oversees automated driving functions with twenty times the computing power. This architecture enables what BMW is calling symbiotic driver assistance, allowing light steering or braking inputs without disengaging lane-keeping or cruise control. Charging is equally advanced, with support for Plug & Charge contracts across multiple providers and an AI-controlled charging flap that opens automatically when you approach.
Production will begin in Debrecen, Hungary in early 2026, with U.S. deliveries scheduled for mid-year. The first model available will be the dual-motor xDrive, with a rear-drive variant to follow. If you’re in the market for a mid-size all-electric SUV, the iX3’s 400 mile range, fast-charging ability, and price point make it competitive with Tesla’s Model Y Performance, which offers 277 miles of range and slower 250 kW charging, and Mercedes’ EQE SUV 350, which costs around $79,000 and delivers about 270 miles with a 170 kW peak. BMW’s real challenge will be convincing shoppers that the iX3’s blend of range, charging speed, and technology now delivers a more complete experience than its rivals.
