The electric iX3 is an SUV sweet spot (BMW iX3 M Sport 2024 Review)

At $89,100 list, the iX3 M Sport is the largest and most practical electric BMW to slip under the Australian luxury car tax threshold.

And with its fulsome equipment, upmarket swagger, 210kW/400Nm outputs and with up 460 kilometres of range from its 74kWh (usable) battery, the iX3 M Sport appears to present a Goldilox blend of premium electric motoring at a somewhat attainable price point.

Chasing Cars journalist Olek Novak takes a deep dive with the iX3 M Sport to see how it shapes up as an EV, as a family hauler and as a fetching High Street alternative to the ever-growing landscape of ever-cheaper electrics.
