BMW Reveals Launch Date for iX3's Trio of New Shades

If the limited selection of colors is preventing you from buying the new BMW iX3, there’s some positive news. We’ve already covered the color options available at launch, but if they don't meet your taste, more selections are coming soon. We spoke with the vehicle’s product manager, who verified that three more finishes will be available shortly.

At the iX3’s global media launch in Spain, Mark Berger revealed that Fire Red/Vegas Red will be offered for cars produced from March 2026. Also, beginning in that month, Space Silver will feature a Frozen variant with a matte finish. The finish we are most excited to see is Eucalyptus Green, which will start production at the Debrecen body plant in March.

Berger also noted that BMW is pursuing certification of its new Hungarian facility for Individual finishes. As reported earlier, the first of these customized colors is anticipated to launch in the middle of next year, but it’s premature to say which hues will be available first.

Additional customization opportunities will arise from M Performance Parts. While we've glimpsed some of these features, Berger confirmed they won’t be ready until July 2026. The introductory offerings will encompass high-gloss black accents, body graphics, and a roof spoiler. More substantial enhancements are expected with the M Performance variant, likely to enter production in July, potentially as the iX3 M60. The complete M model is predicted to debut by late 2027.

In the accompanying half-hour video, BMW supplies a detailed overview of what the iX3 will provide at launch and what will be rolled out later in its product life cycle. For instance, the white steering wheel will be available starting March 2026, but only with the Digital White interior theme.

Accessories haven't been extensively covered yet, but BMW shared some insights during our discussion. Customers will have the opportunity to equip the iX3 with a roof rack designed for an aerodynamic cargo box or a ski and snowboard holder. Additionally, a roof-mounted bike carrier and a rear carrier capable of accommodating up to three bikes will be available. A rear cargo box will also be offered.

If you’re in search of a less practical yet arguably more stylish alternative, the iX4 is on the horizon. A camouflaged prototype was recently spotted, with a likely world premiere planned for next year. However, the Neue Klasse model creating the most buzz is the i3 sedan, which is also anticipated to launch in 2026.
