Inside, high-quality materials, advanced digitalization, and the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating System 9 define a premium ambience.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 BMW X3 showcases major improvements in efficiency and dynamic performance across both the 4-cylinder and high-performance 6-cylinder variants. These models are now designated as BMW X3 30 xDrive and BMW X3 M50 xDrive, reflecting a streamlined naming convention. The X3 30 xDrive, with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine, delivers 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in six seconds.

Striking New Design Language
The new design language of the 2025 BMW X3 emphasizes distinctive proportions and a monolithic appearance. It is 1.3 inches longer and 1.1 inches wider than its predecessor, while the vehicle height has been reduced by an inch. This results in a more powerful and sporty stance.
