IMPRESSIVE POWER.

Driving dynamics of the BMW X3.

The BMW X3 presents its athletic and dynamic look. Thanks to its intelligent lightweight construction concept and precisely coordinated aerodynamics measures, it provides an impressively agile and high-torque response in every driving situation. The air vent control of the Active air stream kidney grille is unique – if demand for cooling air is low, one air vent remains closed automatically, thus providing a further enhancement in aerodynamics.

BMW X3 M40i, BMW TwinPower Turbo diesel engine

BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder diesel engine.

The new-generation BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder diesel engine offers impressive power delivery combined with exemplary consumption figures, as a result of highly innovative technologies such as a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry common rail direct injection. The engine delivers 195 kW (265hp) and an impressive maximum torque of 620 Nm.
BMW X3 M40i, BMW xDrive

BMW xDrive.

The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system smoothly and variably distributes drive power to the front and rear wheels for maximum traction, driving dynamics and safety in every driving situation. For even better agility, the electronically controlled power distribution for instance counterbalances oversteer or understeer on bends.
BMW X3 M40i, Driving experience control

Driving Experience Control.

The Driving Experience Control offers the driver the choice between the standard COMFORT mode, ECO PRO Mode, geared towards efficiency, and SPORT mode, which enables even more dynamic driving. The new interactive Adaptive Mode function continuously adjusts the adaptive suspension, the steering and the Steptronic transmission to suit the current driving situation.
BMW X3 M40i, Steptronic Sport transmission

Steptronic Sport transmission.

The 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission offers incredibly sporty gear changes. Whether automatic or manual using gearshift paddles or gear lever - for comfortable coasting or incredibly dynamic driving. In SPORT mode and with the gear lever in the lefthand S/M position, the gear shifts are configured for maximum performance.
BMW X3 M40i, Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics.

With targeted measures focusing on Aerodynamics, BMW has optimised drag coefficient and efficiency as well as interior acoustics. Fuel consumption has also been reduced. The Active air stream kidney grille, the Air Breather, the Air curtain on the front wheels and the Aero wheels are all targeted and detailed measures to further reduce air resistance.
BMW X3 M40i, Active air stream kidney grille

Active air stream kidney grille.

The Active air stream kidney grille represents the cutting edge of aerodynamic performance. When a cooling airflow is not needed, it electronically closes the radiator grille with its air vents and thereby reduces the amount of air flowing into the engine bay. This optimises both the aerodynamics and consumption rates.

DIRECTIONAL STABILITY AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON.

Driver assistance systems of the BMW X3.

Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

BMW X3 xDrive20d:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 5.5–5.3
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 145–139

BMW X3 xDrive30d:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 6.0–5.9

BMW X3 xDrive30e(2):
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): from 2.4
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): from 56

The values of the vehicles labeled with (2) are preliminary.

The information on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption has been determined in accordance with the prescribed measurement procedure VO (EU) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.

Further information about the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger automobiles can be found in the 'New Passenger Vehicle Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emission Guidelines', which are available free of charge at all sales outlets and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany and on https://www.dat.de/co2

The values are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. For vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.
