The Ultimate Performance SUV: The 2025 BMW X3 M
Powerful Engine
The 2025 X3 M50 comes equipped with a turbocharged V6 engine producing 393 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, aided by a 48-volt mild hybrid setup. Power is routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the included all-wheel drive. This setup allows for a 0-60 mph sprint in just 4.4 seconds, and opting for performance tires raises your maximum speed to 155 mph.
Exterior Design
The bold BMW Iconic Glow Kidney Grille is the centerpiece of the car, framed by outline lighting and distinctive dual-element headlights. The bold front bumper emphasizes the vehicle’s athletic character, and the four-pipe exhaust gives the rear a refined appearance.
Performance Features
As mentioned, there’s standard all-wheel drive, but beyond that, the M Sport Differential also improves traction across any kind of surface, from mud and gravel to ice, which lets you enjoy bolder handling and better control in bad weather. The Adaptive M Suspension offers tunable settings so you can prioritize comfort or agility, while the M Sport Brakes, featuring sizable ventilated front rotors, provide superior braking capability even under heavy loads.
A Cabin to Enjoy
Standard front sport seats offer easily customizable settings so you can choose the optimal comfort for both the driver and the front rider. Meanwhile, the rear seats can comfortably accommodate up to three passengers. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel is visually appealing as well as ergonomic and comes with easy-to-reach paddle shifters. Ambient lighting is also included and offers options and modes like SPORT and RELAX, along with 15 color choices so you can set the desired vibe.
M-Tailored Infotainment System
The built-in BMW Operating System 9 in the X3 M50 has an M-exclusive platinum theme and supports operation through touchscreen, voice commands, steering wheel buttons, or the iDrive controller. It comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features, and a BMW Digital Premium subscription opens up a wealth of extra perks.
