We\u2019ve covered the serious details about the 2026 iX3, so why not have a little fun? BMW confirms its new electric crossover supports AirConsole, a feature first introduced in 2023 on specific models running the previous-generation iDrive. It\u2019s essentially a cloud-based console for playing games inside the car. Unsurprisingly, it\u2019s coming to iDrive X, but with a twist. The game library is expanding to include Mattel\u2019s Hot Wheels: Xtreme Overdrive<\/em>, which will be exclusive to BMW cars.<\/p>\n

A teaser video shows the sporty iX3 on the central infotainment screen, making full use of the massive 17.9-inch display. It\u2019s the largest touchscreen ever fitted to a production BMW, suitable for a split-screen setup that supports up to four players. You won\u2019t need a separate controller, since AirConsole<\/a> works with smartphones, though some games are also compatible with Bluetooth controllers. Titles can be downloaded directly from the BMW ConnectedDrive Store, with more games on the way.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the in-car gaming shuts off as soon as you start driving. To limit distractions, it only works when the vehicle is stationary. These casual games aren\u2019t just for the driver and front passenger since rear occupants can join in as well. As people used to say back in the day, it\u2019s fun for the whole family.<\/p>\n
