Road Testing The BMW X3 Shows Why This Is BMW's Best-Seller

A road test of the 2025 BMW X3 highlights why the compact SUV remains the brand’s best-seller, especially for families comparing luxury vs. well-equipped popular trims. The test describes a base model, the X3 30 xDrive, starting at $51,300, and notes a facelift for the 2025 model year. BMW adds exterior design cues like angular headlights and a lighted kidney grille surround from an option package, plus an interior diamond-cut light bar framing key controls. The dashboard features a “curved” setup with a 12.3-inch driver display and a 14.9-inch touch screen, plus an iDrive dial. The review is set in Georgia and South Carolina.
