Finally a Comfortable X3

The ride is way better than previous X3. It’s quick and on Sport setting, dangerously fast. The M50 is a quiet and comfortable daily driver in Comfort or Sport settings. However, there are areas we do not like. Every control is touch screen and saving settings for two drivers has been a nightmare. We miss traditional buttons and easy memory settings. Not sure we will keep this one

First BMW

First BMW. Overall very impressed. Almost bought a 2024 m40i before I knew this new one was coming in OCT 24. The lack of buttons for 95% of functions is weird and unusual, but easy to maneuver in time. The motor and transmission are the it! Wife wanted another SUV, I agreed as long as it was sporty, powerful and fun (hence our first bmw). It’s a rocket and cruises seamlessly at all speeds but def on open freeway. More than enough power in all modes. Sport mode is fun and vivacious with the improved shift points and stiffer ride. It starts with a grumble on hitting the ignition! Hold 4 adults no problem. Overall love it!

This my 16th BMW, and this model is exceed only by my 2012 335is. Comfortable ride, beautiful dashboard controls, modern and sleek; yet has power off the line and responds as a BMW should. Options galore to suit driving style and personal comfort. This is truly a winner,

You could get into a lot of trouble in this SUV

I did a lot of research before even test driving this vehicle and knew what I wouldn’t like - the huge touch screen and the cheap plastic - and what I would like - the amazing B58 engine. And that’s how it turned out. This thing is stink fast and also surprisingly comfortable, as long you shell out for the adaptive suspension. The controls are fussy but largely intuitive but it doesn’t matter - just hit the accelerator and feel the car leap forward.

BMW X3 M50 Review

I purchased a new 2025 BMW X3 fully loaded for 80 grand and I must say I definitely got what I paid for. I love the inline-6 engine and the interior is just amazing. I came from a previous 2021 Toyota RAV4 so this was a whole new step forward to me. The textile in the X3 actually makes up for the lack of sophistication for this all new model but I'm hoping for 2026 maybe the X3 will add on more design elements for this model. It's not a major concern for me because I think this interior is so futuristic and overall a great buy with that large touchscreen and I got used to the climate controls pretty fast too.

Just test drive it and see for yourself

Looks are subjective so I won't debate whether it looks better than its predecessor. Personally, I prefer the new design, exterior and interior. However, the ride is unbelievable, even on 21" wheels. It's more powerful yet more comfortable than the X3 M40i. In addition to that, it is more fuel efficient. For those that complain about the interior's quality, I suggest you go for an X5. The quality is perfectly fine by me but the X5 is more plush, with stitching on the dash and arm rests, etc.. It really depends on what you're looking for. If you prefer luxury then performance over performance then luxury, the X5 or 5 series would be your lane. The X3 M50 is for those who want luxury but rank performance higher on their checklist. If this is you, the 2025 X3 M50 will not disappoint.
