What Is the 2024 BMW X3?

The BMW X3 is a five-seat compact luxury SUV that’s offered with a range of engine choices: The sDrive30i and xDrive30i are powered by a 248-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the M40i gets a 382-hp, turbo 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The high-performance X3 M, meanwhile, boasts track-focused features and has a turbo 3.0-liter inline-six that makes 473 hp (X3 M) or 503 hp (X3 M Competition). The sDrive30i is rear-wheel drive, but all other versions come standard with all-wheel drive. All X3s have an eight-speed automatic transmission, and competitors include the Volvo XC60, Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and Audi Q5.

What’s New on the 2024 BMW X3?

The X3 was refreshed for 2022 and sees no notable changes this year.

What Features in the 2024 BMW X3 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Forward collision warning
  • Low-speed automatic emergency braking
  • Navigation with 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Power liftgate
  • Keyless entry system

Should I Buy the 2024 BMW X3?

It’s a better value than many BMWs, though adding items from the long list of tempting available features drives up the price. Cargo room could be better, and some rivals offer posher interiors, but the X3 is a fine competitor in its class.

  • Only have been driving the car for a week, but it is

    Only have been driving the car for a week, but it is clearly the best SUV I have experienced. My wife drives the Mercedes 300 - a fine car as well, but I have always preferred BMY engine performance and handling. The X3 is simply a pleasure to drive.

  • Our worst cash purchase in 50 years.

    Our salesman, Jonathan is a true professional. The dealership made this a painful experience. Never going back. The only reason we put up with 2 days of getting jerked around was because they were the nearest dealership that had the vehicle we wanted in stock. We'll never return.

  • BMW Does It Again!

    I have had three BMWs, all with great reliability and high satisfaction, but this is my first BMW SUV. After 5 weeks of ownership, my 2024 X3 is on its way to becoming my all-time favorite. The handling is great, the safety features superb, and the comfort and luxury appearance have surpassed my expectations. We are so happy with this car that my husband is talking about getting one for himself, and he is an Audi and LandRover fan. BMW, thank you for your continued dedication to quality and reliability.
