General nameplate overview

Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.

The BMW X3 is the brand's compact luxury SUV and, for much of this period, its best-selling model in the United States. Three generations appear here, all built at BMW's Spartanburg plant in South Carolina.

The F25 ran through 2017 with 240-hp and 300-hp petrol engines and a 180-hp turbodiesel that returned 30 mpg combined. The G01 replaced it for 2018 on the CLAR platform, standardising on a 248-hp 2.0-liter turbo four as the 30i and adding a 355-hp — later 382-hp — M40i. A plug-in hybrid xDrive30e was offered for 2020 and 2021 with about 18 miles of electric range, and the full-fat X3 M arrived for 2020 with up to 503 hp.
