2024 BMW X3 Specs: Engine, Performance, & Fuel Efficiency

Given how luxury crossover vehicles seem to be all the rage these days, it’s hard to imagine any single one standing out on the roads of Frankfort, but that’s exactly what the 2024 BMW X3 does. So in this overview of the BMW X3 specs, we’ll detail why and how it does so from a performance angle by considering elements like the BMW X3 engine options and the BMW X3 mpg rating.

2024 BMW X3 Engine Specs

Depending on which BMW X3 trim you choose, your X3 will be powered by one of two BMW X3 engines: a 2.0L inline-four or a 3.0L inline-six engine. However, while the same 3.0L inline-six engine is used in the X3 M40i and X3 M, the latter is engineered to squeeze even more out of it than the former, resulting in markedly improved performance.

2024 BMW X3 MPG Rating

At this point, you may very well be thinking that such performance doesn’t come cheap and that fuel efficiency will necessarily suffer for it. And while it is the case that you’ll need to refuel more frequently on your way to and from Mokena with the X3 M40i or M3 as compared to the more fuel-efficient X3 sDrive30i or xDrive30i, you may find that the trade-off is worth it, given the kind of performance you can expect with the former! 

Here are the BMW X3 mpg figures, as presented by the EPA:
