BMW X3 M50 2025 - Review

It's purposely similar to the Vision Neue Klasse X concept, since that will be the new iX3 next year. They want them to still have some similarity.

Cheap and crappy materials, plastic everywhere, and back seats that couldn't be cheaper than a base Kia Rio. They even removed the back ambient lightning

BMW apparently love to piss people off for including more exclusive M design elements into their normal lineup. It started first with the mirror caps and now you can get quad pipes exhausts, M flippers behind the steering wheel. So, what’s next? The S65 Twin Turbo engine as a M40 lineup?…

One of the WORST BMWs ever: Now I will rant about how ugly the car exteriors are or how boring the interiors are, let us talk objective: 1.) No Engine Insulation 2.) No door Grab handles 3.) No gear selector lever 4.) Boring screens, that too with disproportionate bezels in both the joined screen units. 5.) No driver side wallet cubby space. 6.) Rear bumber is not protecting the car body, design fail would lead to immediate dents at rear. 7.) No recline for rear seats. 8.) No openable Sunroof 9.) Hidden tailpipes for non M. 10.) Poor quality materials indoor and outdoor. 11.) Many other small small thins.

Only the new wheels and the engine are the positive things in this 2025 version, the new exterior and interior design are not good. This should be a premium car , too much plastic and too much cost cutting in my opinion, the 2024 version is far more better design-wise . What are you doing BMW ? You are becoming worst than Mercedes !!!! We need real buttons, not that capacitive crap !!! Completely out of touch !!! Buy a Lexus RX !!!

Horrid design. What is BMW thinking?!? As a current customer I would like: sharp sporty lines, not a bulby blotch. Improvements to the outgoing model would have been: stronger light weight materials, electric and with a battery on par with hyundai, nice rounded bend screens like porche inside, nicer real leather with great traditional patterns, large fullscreen HUD, slightly smaller grill. Perhaps also: vehicle2home for energy storage, openai assistant in idrive. And nice bmw7 style pillows as an option in the back. Anyway decision made personally: either asian or audi etron as next car whats a shame would of loved to stay with BMW.

I don't know what's wrong lately with BMW, it's like they suffering with identity loss. The previous generation was much more beautiful and sincere. This new design descision is in contradictory with itself. The badging between two font sizes is also ugly as hell. Change is not always better and more beautiful BMW. 🤔🤦😩🤢🤮

Not as classically handsome as its predecessor which had softer edges. But this time, BMW went with sharp lines, which of course is their current design language. But definitely better looking than the GLC, to these eyes.

exterior looks pretty cool - the interior makes it look cheap. They love talking about simpler design - they should just come out and say that they are just cost cutting. If you took the badge away - it can be any japanase or chinese brand.

The Good - Interior looks more modern, there's less clutter. Will always miss the physical buttons. Bad - Sloping roofline makes it look more like a crossover than an SUV. Ugly - That front grille is messed up real bad, slant lines, camera sticking out, and a big chunk of sensor making it all inconsistent. The back seems to have been stuck by something. Nevertheless, this will still remain BMW's bestseller.

A very controversial design. Civilian BMWs are now indistinguishable from M. The design of the M-style mirrors is very strange and the headlights too.
