BMW Hints at Mystery EV for Dec. 24 in Holiday Advent Calendar

The dark crossover silhouette has observers pointing to an iX3 variant as the likeliest reveal rather than a full next‑generation premiere.

Overview

  • BMW’s digital advent calendar video features five named electric models and leaves the December 24 slot concealed behind a shadowed vehicle.
  • BMW has not identified the model, and the silhouette appears SUV-like, prompting outlets to infer the hidden entry is also an EV.
  • The speculation most frequently centers on the iX3, including a possible M60 version previously photographed in prototype testing with sportier hardware.
  • Other unconfirmed guesses include the new i3 or a first look at the iX5, drawing on earlier teasers and spy shots.
  • A world premiere is considered unlikely because major Neue Klasse debuts are expected in 2026, suggesting a smaller reveal is more plausible.
