The arrival of a new model year always brings questions. Whether you are upgrading from an older F25 model or cross-shopping against competitors, the 2026 BMW X3 represents a significant leap in technology and design.
Below, our team at BMW of Milwaukee North answers the most common questions we receive from Glendale drivers about the latest X3.
The 2026 BMW X3 is available now. We are currently receiving shipments of both the X3 30 xDrive and the X3 M50 at our Glendale dealership. You can view our current 2026 inventory here.
Pricing varies by trim and equipment, but the lineup generally starts as follows:
Note: MSRP excludes destination & handling fees, tax, title, license, and dealer options.
Yes. The 2026 BMW X3 30e xDrive (Plug-in Hybrid) is expected to arrive in U.S. showrooms in Spring 2026. It combines a turbocharged gas engine with an electric motor for increased efficiency and short-range electric-only driving.
The 2026 model builds on the major redesign introduced with the 2025 model year (G45 chassis). It features the new “clean” design language, flush door handles, and the massive BMW Curved Display. For 2026, you will find refined interior trim options and updated software features.
The X3 M50 is a serious performance machine, sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, powered by a 393-hp turbocharged inline-6 engine.
When equipped with the factory-installed trailer hitch, the X3 M50 can tow up to 4,850 lbs. The X3 30 xDrive is rated for 4,000 lbs.
Yes. Remote Engine Start is standard on the M50 and available as part of the Premium Package on the 30 xDrive. It can be activated via the MyBMW App or your key fob, which is a lifesaver during Milwaukee winters.
Yes. Wireless smartphone integration is standard across all 2026 X3 models, displayed beautifully on the central information screen.
Most 2026 X3 models come equipped with Run-Flat Tires and do not include a traditional spare tire to maximize cargo space. However, a “Space-Saver Spare” is available as a factory option (Option Code 300) but it slightly raises the cargo floor height.
The X3 is proudly manufactured at BMW Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina, the largest BMW production facility in the world.
Every new 2026 X3 includes:
As of early 2026, the X3 M50 is the top performance model available. The full “X3 M” (with the S58 engine) typically arrives later in the production cycle. If you need maximum performance today, the M50 is the car to drive.
