Overview

• Series production of the new iX3 begins in late October at BMW’s Debrecen, Hungary plant, with a staged ramp afterward.
• Early builds are already coming off the line for validation, marketing and dealer use ahead of customer deliveries.
• The factory operates on renewable electricity with an all‑electric paint shop and heat‑recovery systems that BMW says cut up to 12,000 tonnes of CO2e per year.
• Debrecen integrates on‑site Gen6 800‑volt battery assembly for the iX3, which BMW claims enables long range and very fast charging.
• Investment totals about €2 billion with design capacity up to 150,000 vehicles annually, and BMW says first cars roll out by end‑2025 with European sales starting in March 2026.
