2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive combines the practical proportions of a premium SUV with the sharper equipment and character expected of BMW’s M Performance range. Finished in Blue Dark with a black interior, this new example has travelled 0 km and uses an automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, giving it a broad set of capabilities for everyday driving and longer journeys.

Its petrol powertrain develops 280 kW (381 hp) and 540Nm, figures that give the X3 M50 a distinctly performance-focused specification while retaining the versatility associated with the X3 body style. The advertised fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km. A 65-litre fuel tank provides useful touring capacity, while the manufacturer-listed maximum speed is 250 km/h and 0-100km/h acceleration is stated at 4.60 seconds.

Chassis equipment is designed to make the vehicle adaptable rather than single-purpose. Adaptive M Suspension can alter the balance between ride comfort and body control, while variable sport steering is intended to make the vehicle more responsive through corners and easier to place in tighter manoeuvres. The 21-inch M light-alloy wheels, in Star-spoke style 1037 M Bicolour design, reinforce the performance-oriented presentation, and the M Sport Package Pro adds M Lights Shadow Line, extended M High-Gloss Shadow Line treatment, red high-gloss M Sport brakes and M seat belts.

The cabin combines supportive sport seats for the driver and front passenger with electric adjustment and memory functionality. Black Veganza perforated and quilted upholstery, an anthracite M headliner, BMW Individual Magnolia fine-wood trim and ambient lighting create a carefully specified interior without losing the functional focus expected of an SUV. Heated front and rear seats, front seat ventilation, steering-wheel heating and automatic air conditioning add flexibility across changing conditions.

Practical convenience is supported by Comfort Access, a luggage-compartment net, a Travel & Comfort System and wireless charging storage. The panorama glass roof brings additional light into the cabin, while sun-protection glazing and roller sunblinds for the rear side windows help manage glare and heat. The Equipment Package Professional adds Parking Assistant Plus, an interior camera and BMW Live Cockpit Professional, extending the vehicle’s technology and parking assistance capabilities.

Lighting and visibility equipment includes adaptive LED headlights and the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package. A Harman Kardon Surround Sound System, DAB+ tuner and personal eSIM support the in-car entertainment and connectivity offering. Safety-related equipment listed for this vehicle includes active pedestrian protection, an alarm system, an anti-theft security system, a tyre-pressure monitor, intelligent emergency calling and a tyre repair kit.

With five seats, SUV bodywork, all-wheel drive and a substantial level of standard and factory-fitted equipment, this X3 M50 xDrive is specified as a high-performance yet highly usable member of the X3 range. Its combination of strong outputs, adaptive chassis technology, premium cabin appointments and everyday convenience features gives it a well-rounded specification for drivers seeking more dynamic capability without giving up the space and flexibility of an SUV.

Other highlights include Drive train: All Wheel Drive; Engine or motor: 280 kW (381 hp), 540Nm.
