CHRYSLER JEEP Driven: BMW's most IMPORTANT car in decades
You’ll read a lot about how the new BMW iX3 is the first of a whole new generation of BMWs; how significant the company thinks this ‘Neue Klasse’ (new class) architecture is; and how it’s the firm’s first ‘software defined’ car.
The new platform will underpin at least six new EVs by 2028 including an electric 3 Series, to be called i3: so this is isn’t an unimportant car.
But beyond all the hype, just know that, first and foremost, this is a BMW that drives very well in the traditional BMW style - as you'll find out as you join Matt Prior for this drive on both road and race track. In the UK, iX3 prices start at £58,755 and deliveries start in March 2026.
