2018 BMW X3 Accessories & Parts

In the compact SUV market, the competition is now fiercer than ever. With rivals from Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Porsche battling it out on top of the segment, BMW couldn't stand aside and rearmed one of its most important crossovers for the next stage of battle. The BMW X3 entered its third generation for 2018 with a host of changes to its powertrain, design, and tech. It also offers the M Performance model for the first time and is the first X3 to be offered with a factory-installed trailer hitch. The U.S. market got two versions at launch – the xDrive30i and the M40i, powered by a 2.0-liter 248-hp inline-four and a 3.0-liter 355-hp inline-six, respectively. Both turbo engines are new to the X3 lineup, but are shared with the 3-Series and 5-Series. An 8-speed automatic transmission is the only option; M Performance models add launch control technology. The 2018 X3 offers all-wheel drive as standard. The AWD system on the M40i sends a greater amount of torque to the rear wheels. Also distinctive for M Performance badged models are bigger brakes, a revised suspension, and dual-mode exhaust.

The 2018 BMW X3 M40i is packed with features that make it look and feel macho. Externally, aggressive wheel designs coupled with blue calipers, chrome exhaust tips, and puddle lights form an undeniable appeal. The interior design abounds in cute little things like an embossed “X” on the doors and Aluminum Rhombicle trim. The in-cabin atmosphere is perfectly complemented by ambient lighting, while technical-wise, one of the most amazing features is the optional 3D Surround View System that lets the owner know what's happening around the vehicle when it's parked by sending projected 3D images via the smartphone app.

With 2.2 inches added to the wheelbase, the 2018 BMW X3 reached an ideal 50-50 weight distribution, gained an increase in interior space, and got a longer, more striking profile. The model now features better aerodynamics thanks to active shutters incorporated in the kidney grille, Air Curtains, rear spoiler, and improved cladding underneath the body, all aimed at better managing air flow around the vehicle. All these improvements in the powertrain, aerodynamic properties, and weight help keep fuel consumption down. Inside, all 2018 BMW X3 accessories and parts are thoughtfully combined to create a comfortable, ergonomic in-cabin environment. There is a larger full-color head-up display and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with gesture controls, featuring BMW's latest iDrive 6.0. Sport seats, forward-collision warning, and three-zone climate control are standard features. More tech goodies are available as options, including lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and more.
