Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 80.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 73.9 kWh, providing a 6.1 kWh buffer (7.6%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 345 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 461 to 453 km (287-282 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 16.0 kWh/100 km for the base model and 16.3 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 150 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 62 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 31 minutes with an average charging speed of 101 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 61%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 100 kW, with each charging session taking about 26 minutes and 29 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 53 minutes, needing four charging stops from 1% to 54%, totaling 94 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 6 hours and 43 minutes with a standard home setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.

Drivetrain

Brakes

The BMW iX3 is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 348 mm, while the rear discs are 330 mm.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.

You can choose between two stopping modes for one-pedal driving. Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes, and Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally.

Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are three levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.

The maximum regenerative power is 134 kW.

Exterior

The BMW iX3, with dimensions of 4734 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1668 mm in height, falls into the Compact SUVs category, also known as C-SUVs. These offer a balance between the practicality and maneuverability of smaller vehicles and the space and versatility of larger SUVs.
