BMW IX3 Common
As of 2025 Q4, 19,289 BMW IX3s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 19,596 in 2025 Q2 — only 98% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 307 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 212 (1.1%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

About the IX3
The BMW iX3 (NA5) is a battery electric compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW, succeeding the X3-based G08. Unlike its predecessor, it is built on the Neue Klasse platform, no longer sharing its platform with its counterpart (G45). A long-wheelbase version, codenamed NA6, is slated to release in the Chinese market in 2026. The car is the first to use this new design language of BMW and was first shown in 2024 at the Paris Auto Show.
