2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive brings a distinctly performance-focused character to BMW’s mid-size SUV range while retaining the practicality expected of a five-seat family vehicle. Its petrol powertrain produces 280 kW (381 hp) and 540Nm, with the all-wheel-drive system providing the traction suited to changing road conditions. A quoted 0–100 km/h time of 4.60 seconds and 250 km/h maximum speed underline the M50’s sporting intent, while the automatic transmission with gearshift paddles offers both convenience and driver engagement.

Its SUV format makes the X3 M50 xDrive a versatile everyday vehicle. The five-seat cabin is paired with a luggage-compartment net, comfort-focused access features and electrically adjustable front seats with memory. Lumbar support for the driver and front passenger, heated front and rear seats, and active front-seat ventilation add useful flexibility across different seasons and journeys. The black Veganza perforated and quilted upholstery, M interior decor in Fine-Brushed Aluminium and anthracite headliner give the interior a purposeful, carefully finished atmosphere.

Ride and handling technology is central to this specification. Adaptive M Suspension is designed to vary the vehicle’s damping response, while variable sport steering supports a more direct driving experience. The M leather steering wheel includes heating for added cold-weather comfort, and the 21-inch M light-alloy wheels in Star-spoke style 1037 M Jet Black matt provide a strong visual match for the vehicle’s performance-oriented equipment. M Sport Package Pro content adds M Lights Shadow Line, extended M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing, red high-gloss M Sport brakes and M seat belts.

Long-distance comfort is supported by automatic air conditioning, a panoramic glass roof, sun-protection glazing and ambient lighting. The Comfort package adds roller sunblinds for the rear side windows, active front-seat ventilation and heating for both front and rear occupants. Comfort Access is also specified, making regular loading and entry tasks more convenient.

Technology is presented through BMW Live Cockpit Professional, complemented by DAB+ audio, a personal eSIM and wireless charging storage. The Harman Kardon Surround Sound System provides a more substantial audio setup, while the Equipment package Professional includes Parking Assistant Plus and an interior camera. These additions broaden the X3’s appeal beyond outright performance by making it easier to use in busy urban environments and on longer trips.

Exterior and safety-related equipment includes adaptive LED headlights, the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, tyre-pressure monitoring and a Tyre Repair Kit Plus. Active Pedestrian Protection, an alarm system, anti-theft security and Intelligent Emergency Calling contribute to the vehicle’s protective and assistance systems. The vehicle is finished in Gray Middle with a black interior, and its listed fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km.
