THE FIRST-EVER BMW iX3: ALL HIGHLIGHTS

The BMW iX3 achieves a range of up to 460 km*. As is the case for a vehicle with a conventional drivetrain, driving style also affects the range in an electric car. As a general rule, an anticipatory, relaxed and uniform style of driving optimises your range. During recuperation, that means whenever you lift your foot from the accelerator pedal, kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and fed into the battery – and as a result you gain further kilometres in range.

*The fuel/electric power consumption and operating range figures have been calculated using the WLTP measuring technique for EU homologation.

If your navigation destination is outside of the electric range, the smart digital services of BMW Connected Charging provide help. As soon as a navigation destination outside of your electric range is entered, public charging stations along the route are displayed and added directly as stops on your scheduled route . A circle indicates the range displayed on the navigation map.

You will find all the technical data for the BMW iX3 at a glance under the “Technical data” tab at the very top of the page. You will also find additional notes on the electricity consumption and CO2 emissions for the BMW iX3 further down on this page.

The cable for public charging and the BMW Charging Card are already included in the vehicle delivery. You thus have access to a steadily expanding nationwide network of charge points in city centres, at car parks and along important traffic axis – including high-power charging stations for ultra-fast charging. With their charging output of up to 150 kW, they are able to charge the BMW iX3 from 0% up to 80% in approx. 34 minutes. BMW Charging additionally supplies everything that you need for charging at home, also as a practical solution package if required. With the new flexible fast charger, you can charge your BMW iX3 from a domestic socket or – with another optionally available adapter – from a more powerful industrial socket. This also applies to the BMW Wallbox Essential, with a charging output of up to 11 kW or, alternatively, the Smart Wallbox.

Products and services from BMW Charging provide you with numerous tailor-made offers for charging at home and at public charging stations. The charging cable for public charging and the BMW Charging Card are already included in the vehicle delivery.* Similarly available for you to use is an expanding nationwide network of charge points in inner cities, on car parks and along key arterial routes – including high-power charging stations for ultra-fast charging. You additionally receive a charging voucher* which you can redeem for items such as a home charging solution. BMW Charging also offers you products and services beyond the range of this standard equipment in order to make charging as easy and convenient for you as possible. Be it charging hardware, such as the various wallboxes or the Flexible Fast Charger, digital solutions or services, our range is growing all the time. Also included is an installation service for your wallbox or a special green electricity tariff for charging at home*.

*Depends on market specific offer.

The difference between charging with alternating current (AC), direct current (DC) and a high-power charging station (HPC) lies mainly in the duration of the charging operation. The time taken to charge electric vehicles (depending on the cable or charging station) takes longer with alternating current (AC), while direct current (DC) is significantly faster. Ultra-fast charging with direct current (DC) is possible with a high-power charging station (HPC), such as those operated by our partner IONITY in Europe. There, for example, the battery of a BMW iX3 with a maximum charging capacity of up to 150 kW is charged from 0% to 80% in only 34 minutes – the maximum vehicle charging capacity in each case depends on the market-specific infrastructure. Please note that in the case of DC and HPC charging, you should keep holding the plug on the vehicle until it locks in place. In this way, you can ensure that the charging operation will start without any problems.

You gain access to public charging and the world of BMW Charging as you receive your electric BMW: with your personal BMW Charging Card. All you now have to do is log in with your BMW ID to www.bmw-charging.com, conclude a charging contract and activate your BMW Charging Card. Within 24 hours, the extensive, nationwide public network will be activated for you, and you can start charging! Your charging operations are booked easily and conveniently via BMW Charging. As part of the monthly billing, you receive an overall statement detailing all charging operations. You can choose to receive your invoice via the online portal, via e-mail or by mail.
You should also remember to secure your additional local tariff for high-power charging* for your BMW iX3 right away. Via BMW Charging, this will then give you access in Europe, for example, to the IONITY network and to charging with the additional IONITY tariff at an exclusive preferential price.

*Offer varies according to the market.

At the BMW Group, every electrified model has to demonstrate clearly superior environmental performance – from procurement of raw materials to the supply chain, production, use phase and recycling – over a comparable conventionally powered vehicle. The BMW iX3 outperforms the diesel-powered BMW X3 xDrive 20d by more than 30 per cent when drawing on average European power in the use phase and roughly 60 per cent when exclusively green energy is sourced.
The extensive use of secondary raw materials in the manufacture of aluminium castings and thermoplastics, the absence of rare earths thanks to an innovative design for the electric motor and the across-the-board use of renewable energy in the production of the new BMW iX3 have also had a positive effect on the car’s environmental footprint. The analysis and conclusions of the environmental assessment for the iX3 – spanning the full value chain and the vehicle’s entire lifecycle – will be verified and certified by an independent testing institute by the time production begins.
The first all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle therefore sets new standards in its class when it comes to efficiency and range, weight minimisation, the sparing use of raw materials and the lowering of CO2 emissions throughout the product lifecycle.
