Used 2022 BMW X3 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 BMW X3 is available in three trim levels that are primarily based on engine choices. The sDrive30i and xDrive30i both receive a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (248 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque), while the M40i gets a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (382 hp, 369 lb-ft of torque) coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. An eight-speed automatic drives the rear wheels on the sDrive30i, and all-wheel drive is included with the xDrive30i and M40i.

The sDrive30i and xDrive30i share the same features list with highlights that include:

  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Auto-dimming mirrors
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Power liftgate

Inside, you'll find:

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Remote monitoring and control via a smartphone app
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
  • 10.25-inch digital instrument panel and central touchscreen
  • Over-the-air software updates
  • Navigation system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • 12-speaker audio system

Standard advanced safety features include:

  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

The more powerful M40i also adds:

  • Unique interior and exterior styling elements
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Higher-performance tires
  • Sport suspension
  • Upgraded brakes with blue calipers
  • Keyless entry
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Digital gauge cluster display
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen

Some of the M40i's features are available on the 30i as options. Other add-ons include:

  • Automated parking system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Trailer hitch
  • Dynamic Handling package (sport suspension, upgraded brakes, sport steering)
  • Rear side window shades
  • Premium Harman Kardon audio system
  • Wireless charging pad

Which X3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The standard X3 sDrive30i is plenty powerful and capable for the vast majority of drivers. For those in colder climates, upgrading to the all-wheel-drive xDrive30i might be a worthwhile expense. To that, we would add the Premium package for its panoramic sunroof and heated seats and the Parking Assistance package for the always useful surround-view camera. If you're seeking a little extra performance, the powerful M40i model could be an appealing choice.
