If you haven\u2019t settled on the ideal spec for the 2026 BMW iX3, this one might be close. The all-electric SUV was filmed at the Auto Zurich Show in a high-end configuration with the M Sport Package. Finished in Space Silver, the first modern Neue Klasse model wore wheels that are arguably the nicest available at launch.<\/p>\n

One of two 22-inch sets, the alloys feature a Y-spoke design with a two-tone finish topped off by an M logo. Behind them sit M Sport brakes painted in blue, with red available as an alternative. Naturally, BMW didn\u2019t miss the chance to add another \/\/\/M on the calipers. The other 22-inch set is an Individual option with an aero design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The close-up footage offers a clear view of the dashboard cutout for the new 3D head-up display. This optional feature integrates navigation and automated-driving graphics directly in the driver\u2019s line of sight for the first time. It even includes a Curve Ahead View function to help in tricky situations where a sharp bend is coming up.<\/p>\n

BMW also went heavy on options, showcasing the iX3 with a panoramic glass roof and an electric trailer hitch. The automatic tailgate will be standard across the lineup, but you\u2019ll have to pay extra for features shown here, such as three-zone automatic climate control, an M-branded steering wheel, and the Castanea artificial leather interior.<\/p>\n

Factor in the illuminated kidney grille, Parking Assistant Professional, and other extras, and this iX3 becomes a veritable sticker shock. Options alone add 24,120 CHF (\u20ac26,000), pushing the final price into six-figure territory: 102,120 CHF (\u20ac110,500). In BMW\u2019s defense, new cars are notoriously expensive in Switzerland due to local taxes.<\/p>\n

The iX3 starts at 78,000 CHF (\u20ac83,400) in Switzerland, making it far pricier than the equivalent model in Germany, where it begins at \u20ac72,700. As always, Americans are the most privileged when it comes to pricing, with BMW estimating \u201caround $60,000\u201d before deliveries start in mid-2026. Europeans won\u2019t have to wait that long, as shipments on the continent begin in the spring.<\/p>\n
