2023 BMW X3 - Specs & Features

In BMW speak, xDrive means all-wheel drive (AWD), which bumps up the overall cost from the base sDrive30i model. The 30i references the entry-level engine. In this case, that engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (248 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque).

Following a light styling refresh last year, the 2023 X3 sees few changes. The remote proximity keyless entry system is now standard across the lineup and the optional Premium package no longer includes gesture controls for the iDrive infotainment system.

Successful i4 lineup expands with the all-wheel drive, 396-horsepower i4 xDrive40. The 7 Series adds new electrified models: 750e xDrive PHEV and i7 eDrive50. The 6-cylinder 740i will be available with xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive.

Low octane fuel will cause the pistons to fire too quickly, causing a knocking noise, and eventually much more serious damage to the engine. That's why the best gas for a BMW is premium, which is all you should use in your vehicle.

This includes the X3, X4, X5, X6, and the X7. All U.S. manufactured vehicles currently come from the BMW Zentrum Manufacturing Plant in Greer, South Carolina. The good news for drivers shopping with our dealership here in Baton Rouge is that the travel distance for a recently manufactured vehicle is relatively short.

Overall, the X3 is well-rounded, but it's the agile handling and gutsy turbo engines that make it one of our favorite BMWs and an Editors' Choice winner for 2022.
