The BMW engineers have employed far-reaching chassis modifications to significantly improve the driving dynamics, directional stability and steering feel of the new BMW X3. The car that emerges is even sportier than its predecessor, yet avoids compromising on ride comfort. Chassis options include M Sport suspension, Dynamic Damper Control, M Sport brakes and variable sport steering.
Two diesel engines and three petrol units will be available from launch (or shortly afterwards) for the new BMW X3. The 265 kW/360 hp BMW X3 M40i (combined fuel consumption: 8.4 - 8.2 l/100 km [33.6 - 34.5 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 193 - 188 g/km) gives the X3 range its first M Performance Automobile and is joined by a second petrol model in the shape of the BMW X3 xDrive30i producing 185 kW/252 hp (combined fuel consumption: 7.4 l/100 km [38.2 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 168 g/km). The two diesel models are the BMW X3 xDrive20d with 140 kW/190 hp (combined fuel consumption: 5.4 - 5.0 l/100 km [52.3 - 56.5 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 142 - 132 g/km) and the BMW X3 xDrive30d developing 195 kW/265 hp (combined fuel consumption: 6.0 - 5.7 l/100 km [47.1 - 49.6 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 158 - 149 g/km). The BMW X3 20i with 135 kW/184 hp (combined fuel consumption: 7.4 - 7.2 l/100 km [38.2 - 39.2 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 169 - 165 g/km) and choice of all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive (not in Europe) will follow shortly after the launch of the new X3. All the engine variants will team up as standard with an optimised version of the eight-speed Steptronic transmission.
The rigorously applied BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy for the new BMW X3 includes both fuel-economy-optimising powertrains and the extensive application of intelligent lightweight design measures. For example, the increased use of aluminium components in the engine and suspension has reduced the weight of the relevant assemblies. Consequently, the new BMW X3 is up to 55 kilograms lighter than the respective predecessor models in similar specification. Added to which, the new BMW X3 boasts a classbeating drag coefficient of Cd = 0.29.
When it comes to the BMW Personal CoPilot features focusing on driver assistance and (semi-)automated driving, the new BMW X3 can be specified as an option with the latest generation of Active Cruise Control and the Driving Assistant Plus safety package, including Steering and lane control assistant, Lane Change Assistant (est. from December 2017) and Lane Keeping Assistant with side collision protection. This extensive line-up of assistance systems puts clear water between the new BMW X3 and its direct rivals.

Great off road video. Except for the fact that it was on a road throughout the whole video 😂

[@mattmcgyver9244]

That sure looked like a road...i guess they meant “off pavement”

[@carloscastaneda7122]

Well this was stupid.

[@brehbreh1067]

And why is it ?

[@billyg.7032]

Off road? Hahaha

[@pej7445]

This is not off road. It's a dirt road. Still a road. Lame.
