Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2024 BMW X3 M
1st-gen X3 M (F97, 2020-2024), based on the 3rd-gen X3; final U.S. model year.
BMW positions the X3 M as a true M performance vehicle in SUV form: serious straight-line speed, track-bred chassis tuning, and rear-biased all-wheel drive wrapped in a compact five-seat body that still works every day. Compared with softer luxury performance SUVs, the X3 M leans harder into sharp handling and driver involvement, while keeping the higher seating position, cargo room, and year-round traction that make an X3 useful beyond weekend driving.
BMW positioned the 2024 X3 M as the full performance version of its compact SUV, combining everyday passenger and cargo space with serious M hardware. It has a 473-hp twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, rear-biased all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, strong brakes, and heated leather-trimmed sport seats. A 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto sits beside a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.
