Overview

The X3 is BMW's second-best-selling vehicle and one of the finest compact luxury SUVs available. The fourth-generation model brings sharper styling, class-leading cargo space (31.5 cu ft behind rear seats), and mild-hybrid powertrains on both the turbo-four and turbo-six. At $52,075, the 30 xDrive satisfies most buyers. The M50 at $67,075 adds the glorious inline-six and sport-tuned suspension. Edmunds calls it a recommendation. KBB calls it one of their favorites in the segment.
