BMW Opens Early US Reservations for New i3

BMW will open US reservations for the new i3 sedan on September 29, a week earlier than planned, allowing buyers to reserve the vehicle with a likely $1,000 deposit. The 2027 model will launch as the i3 50 xDrive with 463 hp, 440-mile EPA-estimated range, and NACS port for Tesla Supercharger access. Pricing is expected between $55,000 and $60,000, positioning it against the Tesla Model 3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA EV. Reservations follow strong European demand, with over 100,000 iX3 orders already recorded.
