Smart and Future-Ready Technology
The iX3 introduces a new electronics and software architecture, featuring four high-performance “superbrain” computers. This ensures advanced intelligence, enhanced safety, and seamless automated driving capabilities. The “Heart of Joy” drivetrain further refines driving precision and responsiveness, setting a benchmark in electric handling.
BMW Panoramic iDrive: A New Digital Experience
