  <strong>Singapore.</strong> BMW Asia today announced the availability
  of the all-new BMW X3 in Singapore. Boasting greater sporting appeal,
  visual impact, and versatility than ever, the all-new BMW X3 assumes
  the mantle of talented all-rounder for everyday use, leisure
  activities and trips away in the brand’s core segment. A new design
  language gives the fourth generation of the Sports Activity Vehicle
  (SAV) for the premium midsize segment much enhanced exterior presence
  and an aura of dynamic grace. High-quality materials in the cabin and
  exceptionally precise tuning of the overall vehicle setup set the tone
  for the premium ambience, driving pleasure, safety, and long-distance
  comfort. The all-new BMW X3 will have its Singapore Motorshow premiere
  at BMW’s largest booth yet, at the Suntec City Exhibition Centre from
  9 to 12 January 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“We are proud to present the all-new version of BMW’s global
  best-selling model in 2023,” said Mr. Lars Nielsen, Managing Director,
  BMW Group Asia. “Bigger, better, and bolder – the all-new BMW X3
  builds on its success and delivers the ultimate driving experience
  customers have come to expect from the brand, while combining the
  latest BMW design language and powertrain innovations. The all-new BMW
  X3 offers the perfect blend of capability, comfort, and dynamic
  driving for the stylish and sporty driver in the urban jungle. As we
  enter 2025, I’m confident the all-new BMW X3 is poised to further
  solidify BMW’s position as the leading premium automotive brand in Singapore.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 heralds major improvements in efficiency and
  dynamic performance with its wide-ranging model line-up. The portfolio
  of powertrain comprises not just the highly efficient petrol engine.
  With a hike in drive power to 293 kW/398 hp and dynamic performance
  capabilities to eclipse its rivals, the all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive M
  Performance model offers a compelling proposition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new edition’s aura of modernity and enhanced product substance
  provide the ideal basis for adding another chapter to the BMW X3
  success story – one that first began 20 years ago. Since first
  establishing the SAV segment in the premium midsize class, it has been
  instrumental in the steady growth in popularity of the BMW X models
  and, indeed, became the brand’s best-selling model in 2023. The
  all-new BMW X3 is built at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg (USA) using a
  production process focused on conserving resources and circularity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>New design language shines the spotlight on distinctive proportions.</strong></p>
<p>A new design language for the exterior helps to give the fourth
  generation of the all-new BMW X3 an almost monolithic overall
  appearance with distinctive BMW X model proportions. Generously
  proportioned surfaces combine with just a few, crisply defined lines
  to produce a clearly structured exterior that has been reduced to the
  essentials. The new BMW X3 is 34 millimetres longer than its
  predecessor at 4,755 millimetres, while width has increased by 29
  millimetres to 1,920 millimetres. Together with the 25-millimetre drop
  in vehicle height to 1,660 millimetres and the wider tracks, this
  produces a very powerful and sporty look.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The large BMW kidney grille in the upright front end of the all-new
  BMW X3 gives off an air of assured presence. A new structure for the
  grille interior, comprising vertically and diagonally arranged bars,
  adds a fresh touch. The standard BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting
  forms a continuous line around each element of the grille. The daytime
  driving lights, side lights, and turn signal indicators in the LED
  headlights are now all produced by L-shaped, overlapping light
  sources. Adaptive LED Headlights with non-dazzling matrix high beam,
  urban light and cornering light functions, plus blue design detailing
  are standard, while M Shadowline lights are standard on the all-new
  BMW X3 M50 xDrive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bold side skirts and a roofline extending deep into the rear end are
  the distinguishing features of the new model’s sporty silhouette. The
  prominently flared wheel arches create the impression of considerable
  width at the rear. The flush-mounted rear window is bordered by a long
  roof spoiler and the adjoining side air deflectors. All model variants
  aside from the all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive come with exhaust tailpipes
  integrated out of sight in the rear apron. The fresh interpretation of
  the characteristic T-shaped graphic and a satinated horizontal bar
  with integral turn signal indicators help to give the rear lights a
  very modern appearance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 is equipped as standard with aerodynamic wheels
  measuring 19 inches in size. The all-new BMW X3 20 xDrive with M Sport
  package creates an exceptionally dynamic look with features such as
  20-inch M light-alloy wheels and bespoke design cues for optimising
  airflow and aerodynamic balance. The M Sport package Pro, standard in
  the all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive, builds on this content by adding, among
  other things, the Iconic Glow contour lighting and M Sport brakes with
  red painted callipers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is a choice of one solid and eight metallic shades for the
  exterior paintwork of the all-new BMW X3, including the new Dune Grey
  metallic finish. The all-new BMW X3 20 xDrive with M Sport package and
  all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive will additionally be available with BMW
  Individual paint finishes, including two matt shimmering Frozen
  options, as well as over 15 BMW Individual special paint finishes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Sporty premium ambience and generous amounts of space.</strong></p>
<p>The cabin of the all-new BMW X3 blends robust SAV functionality with
  ample spaciousness and a premium ambience full of individual style.
  The BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, steering wheels with a
  flatbottomed rim, and the new-look gear selector lever are the
  defining elements of the cockpit’s modern take on hallmark BMW
  driver-focused design. Other model-specific highlights include light
  elements in a contrasting colour in the centre console and door trims.
  This new design feature is located towards the front of the driver’s
  and front passenger doors, where it forms a border around function
  buttons, ventilation controllers, air vents, and the robust door
  openers typically found on BMW X models. The interior’s individual
  ambience goes hand in hand with generous amounts of space and modern
  versatility. Load space can be increased from 570 to a maximum 1,700 litres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 is fitted as standard with newly designed
  electrically adjustable sport seats in Veganza, and BMW Individual
  Merino leather upholsteries as standard for the all-new BMW X3 M50
  xDrive respectively.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>All-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive with standout performance qualities</strong>.</p>
<p>The range-topping model, the all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive, features the
  most powerful six-cylinder in-line petrol engine yet fitted in an M
  Performance model. The 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo unit links up with
  48V mild hybrid technology. Its maximum output of 293 kW/398 hp is
  channelled to the road via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport
  transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. The all-new
  BMW X3 M50 xDrive powers to 100 km/h from rest in 4.6 seconds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This stunningly potent powertrain combines with the bespoke chassis
  technology to deliver a compelling blend of agility, dynamism, and
  handling precision. Adaptive M suspension with electronically
  controlled dampers, variable sport steering, M Sport brakes, 21-inch M
  light-alloy wheels and an M Sport differential integrated into the
  rear axle all come as standard. M-specific design features, the M
  kidney grille with horizontal bars and BMW Iconic Glow contour
  lighting, and the quartet of exhaust tailpipes all serve to underline
  the status of the BMW M model as the most powerful version of the
  all-new BMW X3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Systematic electrification, eight-speed Steptronic
    transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive as standard.</strong></p>
<p>48V mild hybrid technology also endows all other variants of the
  all-new BMW X3 with enhanced efficiency and rapid power delivery. It
  enables the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit in the all-new BMW X3
  20 xDrive to generate maximum output of 140 kW/190 hp. This translates
  into a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 8.5 seconds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All the power units link up with an eight-speed Steptronic
  transmission including shift paddles on the steering wheel as
  standard. There is also a Sport Boost function for exceptionally rapid
  bursts of speed in the all-new BMW X3 20 xDrive with M Sport package
  and in the all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive. All model variants also benefit
  from fully variable distribution of drive power via the BMW xDrive
  intelligent all-wheel-drive system as standard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Agility and ride comfort up their game.</strong></p>
<p>All model variants of the all-new BMW X3 boast driving qualities
  offering a clearly noticeable increase in agility, cornering stability
  and long-distance comfort over the outgoing model. A body with lower
  weight but increased rigidity and the wider rear track both play a
  role here, as do the high-quality chassis components and control
  systems tuned for this specific model. Modifications to the kinematic
  and elastokinematic properties of the double-joint spring strut front
  axle and five-link rear axle have increased precision when turning
  into corners, while the 19 per cent increase in the caster offset of
  the steering axle is a boon for straight-line stability. Near-actuator
  wheel slip limitation and the integrated braking system likewise form
  part of the standard package of chassis technology.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>Driving Assistant Plus and Parking Assistant Plus as standard.</strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 offers a far more extensive range of standard
  systems for semi-automated driving and parking. It is equipped as
  standard with front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning and
  Speed Limit Info, along with the Driving Assistant Plus including
  Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Change Warning and
  Automatic Speed Limit Assist. The Parking Assistant Plus (also
  standard) incorporates features such as the Reversing Assistant and a
  surround view system with 360° view cameras.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>More generous standard specification for greater comfort and
    driving pleasure.</strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 also comes as standard with ambient lighting
  featuring a Welcome and Goodbye Animation, a tray including wireless
  charging function for compatible smartphones, a Bluetooth interface,
  four USB-C ports, a 12V power socket in the centre console and another
  in the luggage compartment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The standard BMW Live Cockpit Professional adds not only the BMW
  Head-Up Display, but also the Augmented View function in the control
  display. In addition to this, the all-new BMW X3 20 xDrive with M
  Sport package and all-new BMW X3 M50 xDrive also comes with Harman
  Kardon surround sound system as standard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
  <strong>BMW Operating System 9, BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and BMW
    Digital Premium.</strong></p>
<p>The all-new BMW X3 comes with the latest version of BMW iDrive with
  QuickSelect to provide intuitive, easy control. Its new home screen
  shows vertically arranged function icons on the same level. The
  QuickSelect feature allows functions to be activated directly without
  having to enter a submenu. The new BMW iDrive is geared squarely to
  touch and voice control. It is based on BMW Operating System 9, which
  also paves the way for a customisable selection of additional digital
  services. These can be made available over the air, both via the BMW
  ConnectedDrive Upgrades facility and thanks to an ever-expanding
  variety of third-party apps offered as part of the optional BMW
  Digital Premium package.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BMW Digital Premium allows in-car use of the specific apps available
  on a subscription basis. Besides music streaming, the portfolio
  includes a wide choice of video streaming options on the control
  display too. The video app in the all-new BMW X3 therefore offers
  customers a large number of media libraries and streaming services.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Smartphone integration using Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is
  available as standard. The BMW ID and My BMW App make it easy to
  personalise the user experience in the all-new BMW X3.</p>

<p>The new BMW X3 is equipped as standard with light-alloy wheels
  measuring 18 inches in size (BMW X3 30e xDrive: 19 inches), with a
  selection of 20-inch and 21-inch items also available as
  factory-fitted options. The optional M Sport package creates an
  exceptionally dynamic look with features such as 19-inch M light-alloy
  wheels and bespoke design cues for optimising airflow and aerodynamic
  balance. The M Sport package Pro builds on this content by adding,
  among other things, the Iconic Glow contour lighting and M Sport
  brakes with red-painted callipers.</p>
<p>
<strong>Sporty premium ambience and generous amounts of space.</strong></p>
<p>The cabin of the new BMW X3 blends robust SAV functionality with
  ample spaciousness and a premium ambience full of individual style.
  The BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, steering wheels with a
  flat-bottomed rim and the new-look gear selector lever are the
  defining elements of the cockpit’s modern take on hallmark BMW
  driver-focused design. Other model-specific highlights include light
  elements in a contrasting colour in the centre console and door trims.
  This new design feature is located towards the front of the driver’s
  and front passenger doors, where it forms a border around function
  buttons, ventilation controllers, air vents and the robust door
  openers typically found on BMW X models.</p>
<p>The interior’s individual ambience goes hand in hand with generous
  amounts of space and modern versatility. Load space can be increased
  from 570 to a maximum 1,700 litres (BMW X3 30e xDrive: 460 –
  1,600 litres). A trailer coupling that extends and retracts again
  electrically can be specified as an option. The maximum permitted
  trailer load is 2,500 kilograms, depending on the model variant.</p>
<p>The new BMW X3 is fitted as standard with newly designed electrically
  adjustable and heated sport seats upholstered in Econeer, with
  surfaces and cushioning made from secondary material. Veganza and BMW
  Individual Merino leather upholsteries are both available as an
  option. Making its debut for a BMW model is the optional Luxury
  instrument panel made from recycled polyester with a high-class
  knitted texture.</p>
<p>
<strong>Plug-in hybrid with significantly longer electric range.</strong></p>
<p>The drive system in the BMW X3 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid is made up
  of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine partnered with an electric
  motor integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission. These
  join forces to generate system output of up to 220 kW/299 hp.</p>
<p>Helped by latest-generation BMW eDrive technology and adaptive
  recuperation, the new BMW X3 30e xDrive achieves an electric range of
  81 – 90 kilometres (50 – 56 miles) in the WLTP cycle, which is
  considerably longer than its predecessor could offer. Its Combined
  Charging Unit enables AC charging at 11 kW as standard. The
  plug-in-hybrid model also comes prepared for smart charging with the
  Connected Home Charging option.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW X3 M50 xDrive with standout performance qualities.</strong></p>
<p>The range-topping model, the new BMW X3 M50 xDrive, features the most
  powerful six-cylinder in-line petrol engine yet fitted in an M
  Performance model. The 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo unit links up with
  48V mild hybrid technology. Its maximum output of 293 kW/398 hp is
  channelled to the road via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport
  transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. The
  BMW X3 M50 xDrive powers to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in 4.6 seconds.</p>
<p>This stunningly potent powertrain combines with the bespoke chassis
  technology to deliver a compelling blend of agility, dynamism and
  handling precision. M Sport suspension with variable sport steering,
  M Sport brakes, 20-inch M light-alloy wheels and an M Sport
  differential integrated into the rear axle all come as standard. There
  is also the option of adaptive M suspension with electronically
  controlled dampers. M-specific design features, the M kidney grille
  with horizontal bars and BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting, and the
  quartet of exhaust tailpipes all serve to underline the status of the
  BMW M model as the most powerful version of the new BMW X3.</p>
<p>
<strong>Systematic electrification for petrol and diesel engines,
    eight-speed Steptronic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive
    as standard.</strong></p>
<p>48V mild hybrid technology also endows all other variants of the new
  BMW X3 with enhanced efficiency and rapid power delivery. It enables
  the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit in the new BMW X3 20 xDrive
  (fuel consumption, combined: 7.6 – 6.9 l/100 km [37.2 – 40.9 mpg imp];
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 172 – 156 g/km in WLTP cycle;
  CO<sub>2</sub> class: F) to generate maximum output of 153 kW/208 hp.
  This translates into a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 7.8 seconds.</p>
<p>The four-cylinder diesel engine, also with a displacement of
  2.0 litres, under the bonnet of the new BMW X3 20d xDrive (fuel
  consumption, combined: 6.5 – 5.8 l/100 km [43.5 – 48.7 mpg imp];
  CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, combined: 171 – 153 g/km in WLTP cycle;
  CO<sub>2</sub> classes: F – E) posts maximum output of 145 kW/197 hp.
  The diesel model completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in
  7.7 seconds. A six-cylinder in-line diesel engine will be added to the
  line-up for the new BMW X3 in summer 2025.</p>
<p>All the power units link up with an eight-speed Steptronic
  transmission including shift paddles on the steering wheel as
  standard. There is also a Sport Boost function for exceptionally rapid
  bursts of speed in models specified with the M Sport package and in
  the new BMW X3 M50 xDrive. All model variants also benefit from fully
  variable distribution of drive power via the BMW xDrive intelligent
  all-wheel-drive system as standard.</p>
<p>
<strong>Agility and ride comfort up their game.</strong></p>
<p>All model variants of the new BMW X3 boast driving qualities offering
  a clearly noticeable increase in agility, cornering stability and
  long-distance comfort over the outgoing model. A body with lower
  weight but increased rigidity and the wider rear track both play a
  role here, as do the high-quality chassis components and control
  systems tuned for this specific model. Modifications to the kinematic
  and elastokinematic properties of the double-joint spring strut front
  axle and five-link rear axle have increased precision when turning
  into corners, while the 19 per cent increase in the caster offset of
  the steering axle is a boon for straight-line stability. Near-actuator
  wheel slip limitation and the integrated braking system likewise form
  part of the standard package of chassis technology.</p>
<p>Customers looking for even more dynamic prowess can choose the
  optional M Sport suspension including sport steering and M Sport
  brakes (both standard for the new BMW X3 M50 xDrive). Adaptive
  suspension – also to be found on the options list – sharpens the
  agility of the new BMW X3 at the same time as increasing ride comfort.</p>
<p>
<strong>Driving Assistant and Parking Assistant as standard.</strong></p>
<p>The new BMW X3 offers a far more extensive range of standard and
  optional systems for semi-automated driving and parking. It is
  equipped as standard with front collision warning, Lane Departure
  Warning and Speed Limit Info, along with the Driving Assistant
  including Lane Change Warning and manual Speed Limit Assist. The
  Parking Assistant (also standard) incorporates features such as the
  Reversing Assistant and a Reversing Assist Camera.</p>
<p>Among the highlights on the list of optional systems are the Steering
  and Lane Control Assistant, as well as automatic Speed Limit Assist
  and route speed control when using Active Cruise Control with
  Stop&Go function. The optional Parking Assistant Professional
  allows parking and general manoeuvres to be controlled from outside
  the car using a smartphone.</p>
<p>
<strong>More generous standard specification for greater comfort and
    driving pleasure.</strong></p>
<p>Besides the extra assistance systems, the far more generous standard
  specification compared to the outgoing model offers a wealth of other
  features that help boost comfort and driving pleasure in the new
  BMW X3. These include three-zone automatic climate control, acoustic
  glazing, Comfort Access, automatic tailgate operation, an electric
  folding mechanism for the exterior mirrors, an alarm system and BMW
  Live Cockpit Plus complete with the cloud-based BMW Maps navigation
  system. The new BMW X3 also comes as standard with ambient lighting
  featuring a Welcome and Goodbye Animation, a tray including wireless
  charging function for compatible smartphones, a Bluetooth interface,
  four USB-C ports, a 12V power socket in the centre console and another
  in the luggage compartment.</p>
<p>The optional BMW Live Cockpit Professional adds not only the BMW
  Head-Up Display, but also the Augmented View function in the control
  display. In addition to this, new equipment packages are available for
  targeted customisation of the car. The Premium Package features lumbar
  support, the Harman Kardon surround sound system, the Travel &
  Comfort System and Adaptive LED Headlights. And the Comfort Package
  adds sun blinds for the rear side windows, active seat ventilation in
  the front and seat heating in the rear. Also to be found on the
  options list are a fixed panoramic glass sunroof featuring a large
  transparent surface without any cross struts to break it up, steering
  wheel heating, sun protection glass in the rear and a pre-heating
  function. The new BMW X3 30e xDrive, meanwhile, comes with the BMW
  IconicSounds Electric for special sound effects.</p>
<p>
<strong>BMW Operating System 9, BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and
    BMW Digital Premium.</strong></p>
<p>The new BMW X3 comes with the latest version of BMW iDrive with
  QuickSelect to provide intuitive, easy control. Its new home screen
  shows vertically arranged function icons on the same level. The
  QuickSelect feature allows functions to be activated directly without
  having to enter a submenu. The new BMW iDrive is geared squarely to
  touch and voice control. It is based on BMW Operating System 9, which
  also paves the way for a customisable selection of additional digital
  services. These can be made available over the air, both via the BMW
  ConnectedDrive Upgrades facility and thanks to an ever-expanding
  variety of third-party apps offered as part of the optional BMW
  Digital Premium package.</p>
<p>BMW Digital Premium allows in-car use of the specific apps available
  in each country on a subscription basis. Besides music streaming, the
  portfolio includes a wide choice of video streaming options (DTS
  AutoStage Video Service powered by TiVo™) on the control display too.
  The video app in the new BMW X3 therefore offers customers a large
  number of media libraries and streaming services. The range of in-car
  gaming with the AirConsole game platform also includes the popular
  quiz “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”. BMW Digital Premium
  additionally covers the necessary data usage for the featured digital
  services. This option also expands the functions of the navigation
  system and the selection of both My Modes and lighting effects for the
  Welcome and Goodbye Animation. In certain countries, BMW Digital
  Premium also allows digital payment of parking fees from the comfort
  of the vehicle.</p>
<p>Smartphone integration using Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ is
  available as standard. The BMW ID and My BMW App make it easy to
  personalise the user experience in the new BMW X3. There is also the
  option of using the My BMW App to set up the BMW Digital Key Plus with
  ultra-wideband radio technology for compatible smartphones running iOS
  or Android or for an Apple Watch.</p>
