Technology and Sustainability at the Core
The sixth generation of BMW’s eDrive technology reduces energy consumption by 40 percent compared to the previous version, while cutting weight by 10 percent and production costs by 20 percent. At the heart of this progress is a brand new electronic architecture that the company describes as the car’s digital nervous system. It relies on four high performance computers that manage driving, braking, and steering systems with precision, operating up to ten times faster than conventional control units.
From an environmental perspective, recycled materials make up nearly one third of the iX3’s components, and the vehicle is built in a Hungarian factory that runs without fossil fuels. Over its full lifecycle, this new model carries a carbon footprint that is 34 percent smaller than its predecessor.
Trims and Expected Pricing
Sales of the BMW iX3 50 xDrive are scheduled to begin in March 2026, with prices starting at around £58,755 in the UK (270,000 AED) . Buyers will be able to choose from three trims: the standard iX3, the iX3 M Sport, and the iX3 M Sport Pro. Even the entry level variant comes well equipped, offering 20 inch wheels, heated front seats, advanced driver assistance systems, and an intelligent charging flap that uses artificial intelligence to detect when the user intends to connect or remove a charging cable.
