Are you looking for a compact crossover SUV with exceptional power? The 2025 BMW X3 M model, which has been renamed from the M40i xDrive to M50 xDrive, boasts a powerful engine boosted by mild hybrid technology, plus all the performance, style, and technology upgrades BMW enthusiasts expect from an M model.

1. Turbocharged Engine

The 2025 X3 M50 is powered by a turbocharged V6 engine that makes 393 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque, supplemented by a 48-volt mild hybrid system. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to the standard all-wheel drive system, which gives you more confidence in the snow and other uncertain conditions. The impressive power enables a zero to 60 mph acceleration time of 4.4 seconds, and adding performance tires unlocks a top speed of 155 mph.

2. M Performance Equipment

In addition to the standard all-wheel drive system, the M Sport Differential helps your SUV grip the road better in all conditions, including mud, gravel, and ice, giving you more confidence to make sporty maneuvers and navigate inclement weather. The Adaptive M Suspension lets you adjust performance to maximize comfort or sportiness, and the M Sport Brakes with large ventilated front discs offer outstanding stopping power, even when you’re hauling a heavy load.

3. Striking Exterior Style

The redesigned exterior of the 2025 X3 M50 features the dramatic BMW Iconic Glow Kidney Grille surrounded by contour lighting and signature double light headlights. The aggressive front fascia design enhances the SUV’s sporty nature, and the quad exhaust system adds to the sleek rear design while delivering a satisfying sound when you accelerate. With the M Sport Package, you can enhance the style even further with dark accents from front to rear.

4. Interior Ambiance

Front sport seats are standard, with adjustments to personalize comfort for the driver and front passenger, while the second row provides ample room for up to three. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel is both beautiful to look at and comfortable to hold, and features conveniently mounted paddle shifters. Ambient lighting lets you choose between pre-set modes like SPORT and RELAX, plus 15 different colors to customize the mood.

5. M-Specific Infotainment

The standard BMW Operating System 9 inside the 2025 X3 M50 features an M-Specific platinum design and can be controlled via touchscreen, voice, steering wheel controls, or the iDrive rotary knob. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and you can unlock endless benefits with a single BMW Digital Premium subscription.
