Top of the new engine news is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel with an output of 286hp and 580Nm of torque. It is developed from the engine used by the BMW 535d and provides a 0-100 km/h time of 6.6 seconds.
A 150hp 2.0-litre diesel represents the entry point of X3 ownership. Further up the scale the existing 218hp 3.0-litre diesel engine is also offered.
For the first time on a BMW X model BMW’s innovative Dynamic Stability Control + (DSC+) system is fitted as standard.
