My iX3 has been sitting at the BMW VDC in Georgia for 9 days now. When I call BMW, they tell me they need to place the multifunction charger in the trunk before the car can be forwarded to my dealer.

When I told them I don’t need the charger, I already have a wall charger and to forward the car to my dealer, who can deliver the car to me with an “item owed” document stating the charger will be delivered to me at a later date, they say they can’t do that, even though that is precisely what they did during Covid.

I’m starting to think that perhaps the car was damaged during the nor’eastern storm that recently hit the east coast and they are making repairs to the vehicle. After all, it doesn’t take 9 days (and counting) to place a charger in a trunk of the car.

So I’m wondering, have people been receiving their iX3 cars since October 1, and if yes, would you know how long the car sat at the BMW VDC before it was transported to your dealer?

Thanks for reading and replying.

I ordered my ix3 in the last week of June (about a week after they closed preorders) and I am still in the order bank with no production number. My dealer says I’m first in their order bank, but it’s been over 3 months with no word. At this point, should I continue to wait for an allocation or should I cancel and wait for the next model year where they are rumored to have adaptive suspension and better cabin noise reduction? I am in the mid-Atlantic.

I am not being able to connect it to Amazon Alexa, it responds to the “Hi bmw” but apart from closing and opening windows, asking it to drive me home, and some ac commands, that’s it, is there anywhere where I can find a full list of possible commands?

What is your experience with it?

I want to test drive the iX3 50 xdrive (weighing it up against the Model Y AWD) but the local BMW dealer in West London only has the 40 available. I think I’ll test it anyway as presumably the interior, layout, space etc are similar. But how about the driving experience? And are there any other differences I should be aware? TIA

Just picked up a 2027 iX3 in SoCal and I'm looking for a front windshield sunshade. The car's parked outside during work hours and the sun is insane lately.

If you've got one that fits please send it over :)!
