117 Used BMW iX3 cars for sale

As an electric-only model, the powertrain lineup is as straightforward as it comes when searching for a used BMW iX3, with only one option available:

• 80kWh: 282bhp, 0 to 60mph in 6.8 seconds, and an all-electric range of up to 282 miles WLTP.

This powertrain is an impressive performer, delivering a typical BMW driving experience that manages to keep you engaged despite its practical dimensions. The German brand has decided to do without a four-wheel drive option, too. While this may have proved useful in the trickiest of conditions, the majority of used buyers will have no requirement for 4x4 technology and will be more than impressed by the rear-wheel drive setup on offer.

All used BMW iX3 examples will come with an automatic gearbox as well as the intelligent eDrive system which combines a high-voltage lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and an intelligent energy management system to offer the most efficient means of driving.

Much like the traditionally-powered X3, the iX3 offers a well-balanced design between practicality and premium luxury. All on-board will benefit from plenty of head and legroom as well as plenty of handy storage compartments for their usual bits and pieces. All models come with a panoramic roof as standard to make the cabin feel even more spacious.

The luxury offering found in the cabin does little to eat into the overall practicality. With a 510-litre boot on offer, the iX3 does offer slightly less room than the standard X3 (550 litres), but it's more than you'll find in the plug-in hybrid variant (450 litres). The iX3's boot space should be more than enough for the daily lives of most, but for times when you do need the extra space, you're able to drop the rear seats to open up a maximum capacity of 1,560 litres.

If you plan on towing additional loads, the iX3 can manage up to 750kg of braked towing capacity, too. A towbar was an optional extra when new though, so ensure the used vehicle you're looking at has one fitted if you plan on towing.

BMW has ensured that used iX3 models are well-equipped in the department of safety, featuring a range of advanced active and passive equipment to keep you well-protected while on the road.

Standard safety technology includes the likes of park assist and the brand's well-regarded Driving Assistant Professional package, which includes features such as adaptive cruise control, active collision avoidance and front cross-traffic warning. Top-of-the-range 'M Sport Pro' variants add further safety features including the upgraded Parking Assistance Plus package which adds additional cameras to give you a better view of what's around you.

While the iX3 hasn't technically been tested itself, the regular X3 achieved a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating which is transferrable to the iX3 due to its similar design.

BMW models are well-known for offering the latest in advanced technology and the iX3 continues this trend. Much of its equipment comes as standard, but there was a variety of additional packs/gadgets when new, so double-check the specification of any models you're considering when searching the used market.

The iX3 range starts with the entry-level 'M Sport' trim which comes with features such as adaptive LED headlights, BWM Live Cockpit Professional and a heat pump for enhanced efficiency. 'M Sport Plus' models introduce additional equipment such as a head-up display as well as minor changes to the vehicle's looks, but will typically come at a premium.
