2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive combines the upright practicality of a premium SUV with the performance-focused character associated with BMW’s M division. Finished in Alpine White with a black interior, this new example is presented with zero kilometres and pairs petrol power with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

Its six-cylinder performance credentials are reflected in the quoted output of 280 kW (381 hp) and 540Nm of torque, while the manufacturer-listed 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.60 seconds places the X3 M50 firmly in the sporting end of the mid-size SUV class. A claimed maximum speed of 250 km/h and adaptive M Suspension further underline its dynamic intent, while variable sport steering is designed to add a more direct response when the road becomes demanding.

The all-wheel-drive system gives the vehicle a confident mechanical foundation, with the automatic transmission adding everyday ease and gearshift paddles allowing greater driver involvement when desired. Despite its performance orientation, the X3 remains shaped around regular usability, offering SUV proportions, five-seat capacity and a 65-litre fuel tank. Listed fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km, with combined CO2 emissions of 187 g/km.

Exterior detailing gives this X3 a distinctive M50 presence. The specification includes 21-inch M light-alloy wheels in Star-spoke style 1037 M Jet Black matt, the BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, Adaptive LED headlights, Sun Protection Glazing and M High-Gloss Shadow Line treatment. The Panorama Glass Roof adds light to the cabin, while the overall combination of white paintwork and dark exterior accents creates a clean, contemporary contrast.

Inside, the black Veganza perforated and quilted upholstery is paired with sport seats for the driver and front passenger. Electric seat adjustment with memory, lumbar support, front and rear seat heating, active front seat ventilation and a heated steering wheel give the cabin a broad range of comfort functions. The M leather steering wheel, anthracite headliner and BMW Individual Magnolia fine-wood trim provide a more individualised interior atmosphere.

Technology is similarly well covered. BMW Live Cockpit Professional forms part of the Equipment package Professional, while the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System is intended to give the cabin a richer audio experience. DAB+ radio, a personal eSIM, wireless charging storage, ambient lighting and an interior camera add convenience and connectivity. Comfort Access is also specified, allowing easier entry and operation in daily use.

Parking Assistant Plus supports manoeuvring, complemented by the vehicle’s suite of safety and assistance equipment. Adaptive LED lighting, a tyre-pressure monitor, an alarm system, active pedestrian protection, intelligent emergency calling and an anti-theft security system are all listed. The vehicle also includes a tyre repair kit, warning triangle and Travel & Comfort System.

Factory equipment includes the M Sport Package Pro, adding M Lights Shadow Line, extended M High-Gloss Shadow Line content, red high-gloss M Sport brakes and M seat belts. The Comfort package brings rear-side-window roller sunblinds, active front seat ventilation and front and rear seat heating. As a new vehicle with no recorded kilometres, this X3 M50 xDrive presents its performance specification, upscale cabin equipment and practical five-seat SUV layout together in a single configuration.

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