IMPRESSIVE POWER.

Driving dynamics of the BMW X3.

The BMW X3 presents its athletic and dynamic look. Thanks to its intelligent lightweight construction concept and precisely coordinated aerodynamics measures, it provides an impressively agile and high-torque response in every driving situation. The air vent control of the Active air stream kidney grille is unique – if demand for cooling air is low, one air vent remains closed automatically, thus providing a further enhancement in aerodynamics.

BMW X3 M40i, BMW TwinPower Turbo diesel engine

BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder diesel engine.

The new-generation BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder diesel engine offers impressive power delivery combined with exemplary consumption figures, as a result of highly innovative technologies such as a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry common rail direct injection. The engine delivers 195 kW (265hp) and an impressive maximum torque of 620 Nm.

BMW xDrive.

The intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system smoothly and variably distributes drive power to the front and rear wheels for maximum traction, driving dynamics and safety in every driving situation. For even better agility, the electronically controlled power distribution for instance counterbalances oversteer or understeer on bends.

Driving Experience Control.

The Driving Experience Control offers the driver the choice between the standard COMFORT mode, ECO PRO Mode, geared towards efficiency, and SPORT mode, which enables even more dynamic driving. The new interactive Adaptive Mode function continuously adjusts the adaptive suspension, the steering and the Steptronic transmission to suit the current driving situation.

Steptronic Sport transmission.

The 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission offers incredibly sporty gear changes. Whether automatic or manual using gearshift paddles or gear lever - for comfortable coasting or incredibly dynamic driving. In SPORT mode and with the gear lever in the lefthand S/M position, the gear shifts are configured for maximum performance.

Aerodynamics.

With targeted measures focusing on Aerodynamics, BMW has optimised drag coefficient and efficiency as well as interior acoustics. Fuel consumption has also been reduced. The Active air stream kidney grille, the Air Breather, the Air curtain on the front wheels and the Aero wheels are all targeted and detailed measures to further reduce air resistance.

Active air stream kidney grille.

The Active air stream kidney grille represents the cutting edge of aerodynamic performance. When a cooling airflow is not needed, it electronically closes the radiator grille with its air vents and thereby reduces the amount of air flowing into the engine bay. This optimises both the aerodynamics and consumption rates.

DIRECTIONAL STABILITY AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON.
