2026 BMW iX3 Production Design Images Revealed in Patent Application

TheBingoBalls · 11-15-2024, 01:53 PM

If BMW stays as close to the concept like they did with the i4, should be good - a lot better than the G45 by a long shot.

silverstar335 · 11-15-2024, 03:53 PM

Not bad!

Looking forward to the iX5 M60 xdrive, whenever that comes out, 2026?

co_440i · 11-15-2024, 04:09 PM

Yikes. I remember when they unveiled the Neue Klasse and people were like "oh don't criticize it, it's just a prototype, the final production model will be different"

TheUltimateDrivingManiac · 11-15-2024, 04:29 PM

My eyes.

M6-Coupe · 11-15-2024, 04:36 PM

Looks like BMW is already in business compete with some manufacturers to make the worst and most ridiculous looking cars!!!

Jen4BMW · 11-15-2024, 05:16 PM

Not sure what I dislike the looks of
more this or the new G45.

Atleast it looks better then the ix…

hufington · 11-15-2024, 09:26 PM

We will get used to it, like all the other weird designs of late. Of course unless any competitor offers better designed cars at the same quality and price levels.

What a nightmare.

ComingInHot · 11-16-2024, 10:52 PM

Looks good. Makes the current models look aged immediately. BMW is always very good at that. If it looks like the concept pictures I’ll add one of these to my lineup

Sorry for the people who don’t like the newer designs

…BMW is clearly not struggling for buyers as they seem to be growing year over year which means the newer designs are bringing in new blood to the brand. Which I guess at the end of the day is what any company that wants to stay alive needs to do.

MidnightLight · 11-17-2024, 01:52 AM

Looks promising. Looking forward to the reveal next year.

Tallest · 11-17-2024, 04:29 AM

Wanna see them in person, but Im glad they move away from this trend of massive grille + tiny headlights. The current 5 series is the worst offender - it has these piglet eyes and a big snout. I cant say I have a right to comment on the animal looks, they are cute, but please not on the car.

TargaM2 · 11-18-2024, 10:05 AM

Yep certainly looks like a typical modern EV SUV…🤮

BlkGS · 11-18-2024, 11:14 AM

It's a tough time to be a BMW fan. They need to fire their design team. That's horrible.

bobloblaw · 11-19-2024, 12:08 AM

I think they should have kept the “mouth” wider like in the concept. This design language has potential, but I don’t know if I trust them to execute… if they water their concepts down just a tiny bit, the cars are going to look off.
