The BMW X3 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV manufactured by German automaker BMW
since 2003. Based on the BMW 3 Series platform, and now in its third generation, BMW
markets the crossover as a Sports Activity Vehicle, the company's proprietary descriptor for its
X-line of vehicles. The first generation X3 was designed by BMW in conjunction with Magna
Steyr of Graz, Austria—who also manufactured all X3s under contract to BMW. BMW
manufactures the second generation X3 at their Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, United
States. The third generation of the BMW X3 is also manufactured at BMW South Africa's
Rosslyn plant, a facility that recently underwent a major upgrade to prepare for the X3
production. About 76,000 units will be manufactured there annually.[1]

Designed to compete with the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (renamed GLC-Class since 2016),
Audi Q5, Porsche Macan, Jaguar F-Pace, Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKC (renamed Corsair since
2020), Lexus NX, and the Range Rover Velar, it slots below the larger X5 and the Coupé-like
X6, but above the smaller X1 and the X2.

The first generation BMW X3, internally designated as the E83, was produced from 2003 to
2010 and based on the BMW 3 Series platform. The E83 was designed by BMW in
conjunction with Magna Steyr of Graz, Austria who also manufactured all first generation
X3s under contract to BMW.

Interior

As a precursor to the X3, in 2003 BMW presented the xActivity concept vehicle at the Detroit
Auto Show featuring the 3 Series platform and a fixed-profile convertible body style with
reinforced longitudinal rails connect the A-pillars to the rear of the car on both sides,
eliminating B- or C-pillars.

The X3 premiered in September 2003 at the Frankfurt Auto Show (Internationale Automobil-
Ausstellung), sharing its rear suspension with the E46 330xi and using an automatic four-
wheel drive system marketed as xDrive. All X3 models feature BMW's all wheel drive
system, with a default 40:60 torque split between the front and rear axles and the ability to
direct all torque to either axle. The system used an electronically controlled multiple-plate
clutch to enable infinitely adjustable, fully variable distribution of torque from front to rear
with the capability of up to 100 percent of engine torque going to either axle. BMW markets
the crossover as a Sports Activity Vehicle, the company's descriptor for its X-line of vehicles.

The X3 was conceived to combine the agility of a compact model with the driving experience
of the company's X5. The X3 featured an upright, high H-point seating configuration,
marketed as "command seating". Styling exhibited interacting concave and convex surfacing,
characteristic for the company at the time along with a reinterpreted Hofmeister kink.

BMW upgraded the model in 2005 and facelifted the model in 2007, with revised body
bumpers, engine, interior trim, and suspension.
The X3 3.0i won the Canadian Car of the Year Best Sports Utility Vehicle award for 2005.
The X3 was initially criticised for its harsh ride, austere interior, lack of off-road capability
and high price.[7]

U.S-spec X3 models were well-equipped, with standard equipment such as: the BMW
Business A/M-F/M-CD radio (with optional dealer-activated Bluetooth functionality for
wireless phones), an eight-speaker premium audio system, leatherette-trimmed seating
surfaces, dual power front bucket seats, aluminum interior trim accents, keyless entry, and
seventeen-inch (17") aluminum-alloy wheels. Optional equipment included a ten-speaker
premium audio system with Digital Sound Processing (DSP), Sirius Satellite Radio, a
dashboard-mounted color GPS navigational system that replaced the upper dashboard storage
compartment and contained a modified version of BMW's "iDrive" multimedia system,
eighteen-inch (and later nineteen-inch) aluminum-alloy wheels, Nevada leather-trimmed
seating surfaces, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a security system, BMW
Assist, a panoramic dual-pane moonroof, Xenon front headlamps with adaptive front
headlamps, and sport front bucket seats.

2003–2006

 Bluetooth could actually be ordered straight from the factory (part of the Premium
Package) and functioned without dealer intervention. (Although the BMW X3 was
originally offered and promised with Bluetooth support in 2004, none of the cars that
shipped from the factory actually had it installed. Few were able to get it to work with
servicing from their dealer.)
 The interior was upgraded with more consistent plastic panels. Also instead of having
grey carpeting which was present on all 2004 X3s, the 2005 X3 came with carpeting
that matched the leather ordered (with the exception of the Terracotta interior with
black carpeting).
 Slightly softer suspension.
 Front fenders are one piece, as opposed to the two piece found on 2004 models.
 A 2.0d engine became available in 2005 for some markets – joining the 2.5i and 3.0i
engines (found stateside) as well as the 3.0d engine sold elsewhere in the world.
 An 'Open-Door' indicator was added on the 2004 models.

2006–2010

For 2006, the U.S.-spec X3 lost its 2.5L M54 inline 6-cylinder engine for the 2.5i model. The
only model available from 2006 onwards for the U.S.-spec X3 was the 3.0L M54 inline 6-
cylinder engine (later, the N52 inline 6-cylinder engine) and the 3.0i model (later, 3.0Si or
xDrive30i). This further increased the X3's base price.

In September 2006, the E83 received a facelift with revised headlights, grille, front bumper,
tail lights, rear bumper, and interior.

For the 2007 model year, the US market X3 was powered by the N52 inline 6-cylinder engine
that debuted on the 2006 E90 3 Series. Internationally, the X3 received smaller engines
including the 4-cylinder petrol and diesel options. In Europe, the range started with a 2.0-litre
4-cylinder petrol, a 4cyl. turbo diesel and continues with 6-cylinder turbo & bi-turbo diesels.
The largest diesel offered was the sport diesel with 213 kW; 290 PS (286 bhp).
U.S. market 2006 X3's were equipped with a version of the 'M' technik body kit with
unpainted door sills and wheel arches. U.S. spec Sport Package 2006 X3's received the full
'M' body kit (with painted front, side and rear plastic) available internationally as a factory
accessory. 2.5i was removed for sale from the U.S. and Adaptive headlamps and a panoramic
sunroof were made available, as well as upgraded dashboard components and leather seating.

Since September 2008, the Edition Exclusive and Edition lifestyle were available. The M-
Sport Package was replaced in March 2009 by the Sport Limited Edition.

Interior

The vehicle was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show,[18][19][20]

The F25 is the second generation of BMW X3 being released in 2010 for the 2011 model
year. For this generation production moved from Austria to BMW's US factory in Greer,
South Carolina.[21]

The F25-based X3 is almost as large as the original E53 series X5.[22]

At launch, all models use all-wheel drive, badged as xDrive. Transmission choices are a six-
speed manual or eight-speed ZF 8HP automatic transmission. The emission standard for all
engines is Euro 5. A rear-wheel drive only model called sDrive was added to the range in
some markets in 2012.[23]

Production of the X3 at BMW's United States plant in Greer, South Carolina started on 1
September 2010.[24] The two millionth vehicle built at BMWUSM, a vermilion red metallic
X3 xDrive35i with Oyster Nevada interior and an M Sport Package, was driven by BMW
Associate Terry Gardner, a 16-year BMW veteran, with accompanying associates Renita
Williams, Trung Phan and Olga Yurchenko. These associates represent teams from each of
the plant's manufacturing technologies: Body, Paint and Assembly. The vehicle was retained
on display at the Spartanburg Plant to commemorate the milestone.[25]

Europe

UK models went on sale on 18 November 2010. Early UK models included the

xDrive20d).[26] xDrive30d was added as of April 2011.[27] xDrive35d was added as of
September 2011.[28] sDrive18d was added as of 20 August 2012.[29] From Spring 2013, the
latest generation of BMW Professional Navigation System became available.[30]

North America

US models arrived in US BMW Centers by the end of 2010 as 2011 model year vehicles.
Early US models included xDrive28i, xDrive35i.[31] In 2013 model year (produced in April
2012 and delivered in May 2012), a turbo four cylinder xDrive28i was introduced as
replacement for the inline six xDrive28i, with new features such as standard Auto Start/Stop,
Driving Dynamics Control with ECO PRO, New Driver Assistance Package (includes Lane
Departure Warning).[32] All US market vehicles come with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

For 2011, the F25 X3 is available in the US, only with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder gasoline
engine either normally aspirated or with a twin scroll turbocharger.
In 2012, the F25 X3 xDrive28i model's 3.0L naturally-aspired inline six-cylinder gasoline
engine was replaced by the 2.0L TwinPower twin-turbocharged inline four-cylinder gasoline
engine that was first introduced on the BMW 3 Series (F30). A rear-wheel-drive sDrive28i
model joined the X3 model lineup, marking the first non-xDrive BMW SAV to ever be sold
in the United States.

In 2013, the F25 X3 xDrive28d model joined the X3 lineup, powered by a 2.0L turbocharged
inline four-cylinder diesel engine, again first introduced on the BMW 3 Series (F30). As of
2017, the xDrive28d model of the F25 X3 is no longer available for sale in the United States.

2014 update

In 2014 for the 2015 model year, the F25 received a LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) facelift.
Changes include new modified twin circular headlights (optional LED headlights), redesigned
kidney grille, new front and rear bumpers, and exterior mirrors with integrated turn signal
indicators; a centre console with optional automatic climate control system in high-gloss
black-panel look, new cup holders with a sliding cover for the centre console, new exterior
colours, upholstery designs, interior trim strips and light-alloy wheels; new xLine equipment
package, optional Smart Opener for the automatic tailgate and storage packages.

The vehicle was unveiled in 84th Geneva International Motor Show 2014,[33] followed by
114th New York International Auto Show 2014 (xDrive28d).[34][35]

Emission violations reported

BMW X3 20d diesel was reported to exceed EU Limit Euro 6 by over 11 times.[36][37][38] On
24 September 2015, BMW denied this report in a statement.[39]

* North American xDrive28d models used the four-cylinder engine from the European-
specification xDrive20d models. Vehicles with Diesel engine sold in the United States were
since end of 2008 equipped with selective catalysator using Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to
reduce NOx emissions, while vehicles sold in Europe had a bypass exhaust pipe only due the
regulations which ended up in Dieselgate.[43]

Within the arrival in 2017, the third generation BMW X3 has a new design created by Calvin
Luk, BMW's Australian designer.[47]

The new version is codenamed G01 and was unveiled in June 2017. The new X3 crossover
will adopt a plug-in hybrid technology, and will be made available in two 2.0 litre diesel units
known as B47, a next-generation 3.0 diesel engine (B57), and a petrol variant (B58): a
gasoline-powered, turbo-charged straight six with a displacement of 2998 cc.[48]

The third-generation X3 gained the latest technology courtesy of the BMW 5 Series (G30),
such as The BMW gesture control (optional), LED exterior and interior lighting, and the latest
BMW iDrive 6.0 system with a 12.5-inch widescreen touch-screen monitor for navigation
systems. Depending on the model, the new X3 is as much as 55 kg (121 lb) lighter than a
comparably equipped corresponding model from the previous X3 generation.[49]

In July 2018, BMW introduced the ability to option the X3 with the sDrive intelligent rear-
wheel drive system.[50]

The plug-in hybrid version for the X3 will come to Mexico in 2020.[51]

Alpina XD3

Alpina XD3 at Geneva Motorshow 2018

The Alpina XD3 made its debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The XD3 is fitted with an
Alpina-modified version of BMW's B57 Diesel inline-six engine. In the quad-turbo left-hand
drive version, the engine outputs 388 PS (383 hp; 285 kW) and 770 N⋅m (568 lbf⋅ft), giving a
0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.6 s and a top speed of 266 km/h (165 mph). In the bi-turbo
right-hand drive version, the engine outputs 333 PS (328 hp; 245 kW) and 700 N⋅m
(516 lbf⋅ft), giving it a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.9 s and a top speed of 254 km/h
(158 mph).

BMW iX3 (2020-)

iX3 concept

A battery-electric version with a WLTP-rated 400 km (249 mile) range is expected to be

released in 2020. The BMW iX3 is the third model of the electric BMW i sub-brand and the
first i model based on an existing car. The iX3 produces over 270 hp and has a battery
capacity of over 70 kWh.[54]

The electric powertrain is distinguished by a more compact design than that used by the
existing BMW i3 with the electric motor, transmission and power electrics grouped together
in a single component. It allows BMW to significantly reduce production costs over the old
unit.[54] As with the Audi e-tron, the BMW iX3 features a control unit that permits its battery
to charged at fast-charging stations generating up to 150 kW, allowing it to be fully charged in
just 30 minutes.[54]
The BMW iX3 will be built in China,[55] with Norway being among the first markets.[56]

Production and sales

On 18 June 2008, the 500,000th X3 was produced in Graz.
