The 2026 X3 provides significant clearance for West Michigan winters, measuring 8.5 inches for the 30 xDrive and 8.3 inches for the performance-oriented M50 xDrive.
When properly equipped with the factory-installed trailer hitch, the X3 30 xDrive can tow up to 4,001 lbs. The more powerful X3 M50 xDrive increases this capacity to a class-leading 4,850 lbs.

The 40/20/40 split-folding rear seats drop nearly flat to allow for easy loading of bulkier items like bikes or camping gear.
The 2026 X3 debuts BMW Operating System 9, which is built on an Android Automotive platform. Unlike previous versions, iDrive 9 removes the traditional rotary controller in favor of a touch-and-voice-first interface. It features a “QuickSelect” menu structure designed to minimize sub-menus and keep primary functions permanently viewable on the 14.9-inch Curved Display.
Yes, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. The system also supports BMW Digital Key Plus, allowing you to use your smartphone as a vehicle key.
