2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive combines the practicality of a premium SUV with the focused character of BMW’s M performance range. Its petrol powertrain produces 280 kW and 540Nm, while the automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system provide a composed foundation for everyday driving and longer trips alike. With five seats and SUV versatility, it is configured to accommodate passengers and luggage without giving up the sharper design and equipment associated with the M50 badge.

A performance-oriented chassis specification gives this X3 a more purposeful mechanical identity. Adaptive M Suspension can adjust its response to suit changing road conditions, while variable sport steering is intended to make the vehicle more responsive through bends and easier to place in tighter spaces. The M leather steering wheel, steering-wheel heating and electrically adjustable front seats with memory add useful comfort to the driver-focused cabin.

The exterior is finished in Gray Light and set off by 21-inch M light-alloy wheels in Star-spoke style 1037 M bicolour design. BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, Adaptive LED headlights, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing and a panorama glass roof provide a distinctive visual treatment, while sun-protection glazing helps give the cabin a more considered environment. The vehicle also includes an M Sport Package Pro with M Lights Shadow Line, extended Shadow Line content, red high-gloss M Sport brakes and M seat belts.

Inside, the black Veganza perforated and quilted upholstery is paired with an anthracite M headliner and fine-brushed aluminium M interior trim. Sport seats for the driver and front passenger, lumbar support and active front-seat ventilation are complemented by front and rear seat heating, making the cabin better suited to changing conditions and extended journeys. Ambient lighting, automatic air conditioning and Comfort Access add everyday convenience, while the personal eSIM, DAB+ tuner and Harman Kardon Surround Sound System support a connected and entertaining interior experience.

Practicality is supported by a luggage-compartment net, wireless charging storage and the Travel & Comfort System. The Equipment Package Professional adds Parking Assistant Plus, an interior camera and BMW Live Cockpit Professional, bringing together parking assistance and the vehicle’s main digital functions. Safety-related equipment includes a tyre-pressure monitor, tyre repair kit, alarm system, anti-theft security system, active pedestrian protection and intelligent emergency calling.
