Which BMW X3 trim should I buy?

The 2026 BMW X3 offers these trims:

• 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.

The 2026, 2015, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
