New BMW X3 for Sale near Capitola, CA
Want a sports sedan but need an SUV? Check out the 2026 BMW X3.
BMW offers the 2026 X3 in two flavors: 30 xDrive and M50. The latter is tuned for performance, but the base X3 30 xDrive is so good that you might be happy trading the M50’s outright speed and sheer capability for significant savings. BMW redesigned this compact luxury crossover in 2025, and the only tweaks for 2026 make the base model look and feel a little more upscale inside.
Verdict: For this review, we evaluated the BMW X3 M50. It was terrific, but with a sticker price more than $15,000 higher than the rewarding X3 30 xDrive, it’s hard to justify the extra money.

Seems more precise handling than earlier models. Quieter and smoother ride than previous year M40i. Interior is a bit of a letdown in terms of materials but still looks good and well built
I love all the features just wish the car had heated seats .

2024 BMW has it all. The technology is superb compared to other brands.
