2024 BMW X3 SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 BMW X3 is available in three trim levels differentiated by powertrain. The sDrive30i and xDrive30i both use 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 transmission drives the rear wheels on the sDrive30i, and all-wheel drive is included with the xDrive30i and M40i.
Which X3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The X3's trim levels mainly differ by powertrain, so to choose the right one you first have to identify your specific needs. If you don't live in a climate with a real winter, we recommend the base sDrive30i. Not only is it cheaper to forgo all-wheel drive in favor of rear-wheel drive, but its standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine offers plenty of power and relatively good fuel economy. If you want a good mix of added features, opt for the Premium package to gain access to handy extras like heated front seats, hands-free keyless access, a fully digital instrument display and more.
