The fourth X3 went on sale in late 2024 as a 2025 model and adopted BMW's new naming, which puts the drive system after the number (30 xDrive, M50 xDrive). Both US versions use 48V mild-hybrid turbo engines with an 8-speed automatic and standard xDrive. The 30 xDrive's 2.0L four makes 255 hp, and the M50 xDrive replaces the M40i with a 393 hp 3.0L six. There is no rear-drive or plug-in version in the US at launch.
