2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive Automatic

The 2026 BMW X3 M50 xDrive combines the practical proportions of a mid-size SUV with the focused specification expected of BMW's M Performance range. Finished in Red Burgundy with a black interior, it presents a distinctive alternative to more conventional family-oriented SUVs while retaining the everyday usability of five seats and a versatile SUV body.

Power comes from a petrol engine producing 280 kW (381 hp) and 540Nm, with drive sent through an all-wheel-drive system and an automatic transmission with gearshift paddles. The quoted combined fuel consumption is 8.2L/100km. Adaptive M Suspension and variable sport steering are fitted, giving the vehicle hardware designed to make its stronger performance more manageable and composed across a range of driving conditions. The specification also includes an M leather steering wheel, M Sport brake equipment with red high-gloss finish, and 21-inch M light alloy wheels in Star-spoke style 1037 M Bicolour design.

Its exterior equipment is both functional and visual. The BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package, M High-Gloss Shadow Line details and M Lights Shadow Line add definition to the bodywork, while adaptive LED headlights support visibility. Sun protection glazing and the panorama glass roof help shape the cabin environment, with the latter bringing additional light into the passenger compartment. A tyre pressure monitor and Tyre Repair Kit Plus are included, alongside an alarm system and anti-theft security system.

Inside, the X3 M50 xDrive is configured around comfort and long-distance convenience. Sport seats are provided for the driver and front passenger, with electrically adjustable seat adjustment and memory, lumbar support, and a heated steering wheel. The optional Comfort package adds active front-seat ventilation, together with seat heating for the front and rear. BMW Individual leather 'Merino' trim in Black/Atlas Grey is also specified, complemented by an M interior decor finish in Fine-Brushed Aluminium and an M headliner in anthracite.

Technology is supported by BMW Live Cockpit Professional, DAB+ radio, a personal eSIM, TeleServices and intelligent emergency calling. The Equipment package Professional adds Parking Assistant Plus and an interior camera, while the Harman Kardon surround sound system provides a more substantial audio setup. Wireless charging storage, comfort access, ambient lighting and automatic air conditioning further support day-to-day convenience. The Travel & Comfort System, luggage-compartment net and electrically adjustable memory seating add useful flexibility for regular passenger and cargo duties.

A factory-fitted trailer tow hitch is listed among the options, broadening the vehicle's practical usefulness where towing equipment is required. Overall, this X3 M50 xDrive is specified as a high-output, all-wheel-drive SUV with a carefully balanced mix of performance-oriented chassis hardware, premium cabin materials, driver assistance technology and comfort equipment.
