• 30 xDrive: the base model brings a 255-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, standard all-wheel drive, and a 48-volt mild hybrid system; it’s the best-value trim if you want the X3’s core driving character without stepping up to the performance model.
• M50: this trim adds a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine with 393 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, plus an M Sport rear differential, M Sport brakes, an Adaptive M suspension, variable sport steering, and an exclusive exhaust system for buyers who want the quickest, most performance-focused X3.

What BMW X3 do most buyers choose?

The BMW X3 years with the most listings are 2025, 2023, and 2024.
