2017 BMW X3
xDrive35i AWD

$14,498
Overview
Got some extra cash on hand and need a family-friendly luxury compact crossover that does everything well? Take a look at BMW’s 5-passenger, 5-door 2016 X3 mini-ute. With 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seatbacks folded, a choice of 3 competent powerplants, some heady handling attributes, and a boatload of standard high-end appearance features, creature comforts, and techno-goodies, this classy crossover—or Sports Activity Vehicle as it’s known in Bimmer-land—defines driving pleasure.
Expected to again be available in 4 trims, the base sDrive28i, the midlevel xDrive28i, the diesel-powered xDrive28d, and the top-shelf xDrive35i, the upcoming year’s X3 will offer few, if any, changes from the current version. That’s because the automotive rumor mill is vibrating with hints that the German automaker will debut a next-gen 2017 X3 boasting some significant engine upgrades along with hefty improvements to exterior styling, cabin bling, and infotainment technology. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, the 2016 X3 sDrive28i will continue to be available only in a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configuration, while all xDrive variations return delivered with standard intelligent all-wheel drive (iAWD).
Standard power for the sDrive28i, as well as its xDrive28i sibling, remains a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder (I4) engine that mates with the returning 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission to put out a respectable 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. With the standard automatic engine start/stop technology that’s again common to all X3 iterations, this peppy forced-air I4, in both s and x variations, is again estimated to get 21 mpg city/28 highway/24 combined.
Look for the 2016 xDrive28d to return packing the tried-and-true 2.0-liter turbodiesel I4 from the current edition, with the ubiquitous 8-speed shiftable automatic managing 180 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Mileage, meantime, is again expected to be a miserly 27/34/30.
For those with a serious need for speed, the 2016 xDrive35i will return boasting a 300-hp 3.0-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder (I6) powerplant, again with the 8-speed shiftable automatic allowing 300 lb-ft of torque. Alas, mileage drops to 19/26/21, but a 5.8-second scoot to 60 mph might make you forget the extra fuel stops. Oh, and speaking of fuel, Premium unleaded is required for both the I4 and I6 gasoline-burning mills.
As mentioned, no significant changes are as yet in the works for the 2016 X3’s standard appearance and cabin features, thus expect all variants to return sporting 18-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, LED fog lights, and auto-dimming mirrors, along with premium vinyl upholstery, full power accessories, and power-adjustable front seats with memory for driver’s settings. Of course, cruise control and telescoping tilt-wheel steering remain standard throughout the X3 stable, as does BMW’s basic iDrive infotainment system with its 6.5-inch display. Furthermore, the X3 will doubtless return packing a single-CD player with 12 speakers, HD radio, and auxiliary audio input.
The xDrive28i additionally throws hill-descent control onto the standard equipment list (as does its xDrive28d compatriot), while the flagship xDrive35i boasts a power panoramic sunroof, LED running lights, and high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights as standard equipment.
Options, meanwhile, are expected to remain in package form, for the most part, and to include such upgrades as leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, GPS navigation, sport front seats, smartphone apps, adaptive suspension dampers, and enhanced torque vectoring bolstering the electric power steering system. Additionally, BMW’s available Parking Assistant helps overcome parallel-parking challenges, while an available rear-view camera can be complemented by a top-mounted around-view camera, with all of these extras riding on optional up-styled 22-inch alloy wheels. Of course, all X3 variants also remain eligible for an available Harman Kardon audio system that boasts 16 Surround Sound speakers.
Standard safety features in all X3 iterations for 2016 are expected to include 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, side-mounted and head curtain airbags, daytime running lights, and front fog/driving lights. Also look for emergency alerts and communications to return standard, as well as a post-collision safety system and a remote antitheft alarm, while the xDrive 35i again returns toting standard high-intensity-discharge (HID) headlights.
Optional safety items lineup-wide, meanwhile, should again include front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot warnings, lane-departure alerts, adaptive cruise control, collision-mitigation braking, a head-up display, and upgraded BMW remote emergency telematics.
Both the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) give the current X3 their highest marks for safety, and there’s no reason this tradition shouldn’t be maintained for 2016.
Drivers of the marginally tweaked 2015 X3 tout its ride and handling attributes, as well as its hefty acceleration, especially in the xDrive35i. Drivers also applaud the somewhat simplified iDrive infotainment technology, though most suggest a stationary familiarization process before trying it out on the road. Unfortunately, rear-seat room is still an issue with a number of X3 owners, while others claim that BMW’s fuel-efficiency claims have yet to measure up to real-world numbers.
Look for the 2016 versions of this Teutonic crossover to again challenge the likes of Audi’s similarly equipped Q5, Acura’s spacious RDX, Volvo’s equally roomy XC60, and Mercedes-Benz’s uniquely styled GLK350 sometime in late summer or autumn of this year.

How much does the 2016 BMW X3 cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $11,641 |
| Year-Round Low | $11,496 |
| Year-Round High | $12,672 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $12,680 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −8.19% |
Prices have softened 8.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 906 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and condition.
Is the 2016 BMW X3 a good car?
Yes — the 2016 BMW X3 earns a 4.5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its smooth driving experience, powerful performance, and luxury features, and many like the way it blends mid-size SUV practicality with sports car handling. That makes it a strong fit if you want a compact luxury SUV that feels more engaging on the road while still offering everyday usefulness. With 36.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive price.
Is the 2016 BMW X3 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to a dependable driving experience, with praise for its smooth performance and premium feel. At the same time, the same feedback highlights higher insurance and maintenance costs, so long-term ownership risk for used buyers is less about basic satisfaction and more about budgeting for premium upkeep.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 BMW X3?
At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on bodywork quality, signs of uneven wear, and any evidence of deferred maintenance. Given the model’s premium ownership profile, you should also pay close attention to overall condition, because repair and upkeep costs can add up quickly if the previous owner cut corners.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 BMW X3?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.
- Deal availability: 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 906 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.19% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 60.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,496, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 BMW X3's resale value?
The current average of $11,641 sits slightly below last year's $12,680.
That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the model easier to buy now but may also limit short-term upside for a future seller. If you plan to resell later, condition and maintenance history will matter even more because buyers tend to pay a premium for cleaner examples in a market where prices have already softened. Strong demand for well-kept listings can help offset some depreciation, especially if you keep mileage and cosmetic wear in check.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 BMW X3 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.19% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line:
The 2016 BMW X3 makes the most sense if you want a premium compact SUV with strong owner approval and a softer price than last year. If you value a more favorable buying window and can verify condition carefully, this year is a sensible target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby model years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker alone.
