We\u2019re only hours away from the new BMW iX3\u2019s big debut, but truth be told, we\u2019re more eager to see its sedan equivalent. The reborn i3, however, won\u2019t be revealed until later in 2026. Meanwhile, spy shots will have to do. Fortunately, car paparazzi have delivered the best batch of \u201cNA0\u201d images we\u2019ve seen so far. For the first time, a prototype is fitted with both final headlights and taillights.<\/p>\n

Although spotted at home in Munich, the electric i3 sedan curiously had a right-hand-drive layout. It seems to wear the full production body, right down to the front and rear parking sensors. As expected, it ditches the iX3\u2019s vertical grille<\/a> in favor of longitudinal kidneys that appear to flow into the headlights.<\/p>\n

BMW has already confirmed that only SUVs will get the taller grille. The regular cars will use the design seen here. We\u2019ve seen both kidney shapes before on the 2023 Vision Neue Klasse and the 2024 Vision Neue Klasse X. Those concepts also previewed the new light signatures. The front headlights stay closer to the concept\u2019s look than the taillights, which is probably for the best since the show car\u2019s rear lights sat unusually high.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to say whether the production taillights are as wide as those on the concept, since camouflage distorts the view and makes them seem shorter. On the Vision Neue Klasse, the lights stretched nearly the full width of the car, leaving only a small gap for the BMW roundel. The impression here is that the production model executes the design more cleanly. On the concept, the taillights simply demanded too much attention.<\/p>\n
