BMW officially unveils next-generation X3 models

BMW’s bread-and-butter model, the next-gen 2025 BMW X3, is officially out, reports Autoblog.
Revealed in both X3 30xDrive and X3 M50 xDrive versions today, the new X3 has a revamped design both inside and out, heavily re-worked engines and a whole lot more tech onboard.
Starting with yet another sure-to-be-controversial BMW design, the X3 is longer (1.3 inches), wider (1.1 inches) and lower in height (1 inch) than the previous model, giving it a more aggressive stance.
The regular X3 30 (no more “i” for gas-powered BMWs) and X3 M50 have their own kidney grille designs to help you tell them apart. The vertical and diagonal slats mark it as a 30, whereas the M50 gets a kidney grille with horizontal slats largely shrouded by black trim, and of course, an M badge. A light-up surround is standard on the M50 and optional on the 30.
BMW says the slab-sided design is meant to be monolithic in overall appearance and aims to reduce the design to only “the essentials.”
When it comes to powertrains, the base X3 30 xDrive comes with a re-engineered 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower.
Fuel economy estimates aren’t out, but BMW says it’ll hit 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, which is the same as before.
The X3 M50 xDrive (all X3s are now all-wheel drive) comes with an even more heavily revised 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that makes use of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Output increases to 393 horsepower.
