If you haven’t heard the hype yet, BMW’s new electric SUV is off to a pretty good start. The iX3 has received over 100,000 orders, and the company is now working overtime to meet the demand.
BMW recently added a third shift at its new manufacturing plant in Debrecen, Hungary, just months after it introduced a second shift as it ramps up production.
After the 50,000th iX3 rolled off the assembly line at the end of July, nine months after series production began, BMW said the facility had the fastest ramp-up of any new plant in company history.
While deliveries began in Europe in March, BMW said those in the US would begin seeing the new iX3 arrive in late September.
The initial date was set for September 25, 2026, but apparently, BMW began deliveries early. A user on Bimmerpost shared an update from a dealer in California.
The user claimed that on Tuesday, BMW North America informed dealers of an “Accelerated bmw-ix3" class="tag-link text-primary font-medium">BMW iX3 Retail Launch and Deliveries Begin Tomorrow” on September 16, 2026. According to the post, deliveries began early because of “strong customer demand,” as reported in other markets.
